Stability of Mini-implants


How to measure primary stability:

- Insertion Torque(in vivo / in vitro)

- Resonance Frequency Analysis (RFA)(in vivo / in vitro)

- Periotest(in vivo / in vitro)

- Lateral loading / Pull Out Test(in vitro)

Courage!

Insertion of mini-implants in the palate is very easy!!!

Orthdontists can do it

Just do it !

Palatal Mini-implants

Thank you very much for your attention!
