Surface Treatment of Dental Mini-Sized Implants and Screws: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis

Miniscrews are devices that allow for absolute skeletal anchorage. However, their use has a higher failure rate (10–30%) than dental implants (10%). To overcome these flaws, chemical and/or mechanical treatment of the surface of miniscrews has been suggested. There is no consensus in the current lit...
