Insertion angle of orthodontic mini-implants and their biomechanical performance: finite element analysis

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study was to assess the stresses and strains generated after the application of two types of forces (traction of 200 gf and torsion of 20 N.cm) in two types of orthodontic mini-implants inserted at different (45° and 90° to the cortical bone) angles.Material and meth...
