Laser Irradiation and Stability of Orthodontic Mini Implant.

Orthodontic implants have become broadly accepted as alternatives to extraoral devices in patients who either have insufficient dental support suitable for orthodontic anchorage or are not compliant in wearing extraoral devices. There are a great number of advantages in this new approach which include easy insertion, decreased patient discomfort, low price, immediate loading, reduced diameter, versatility in the forces to be used, ease of cleaning, and ease of removal. However, a proper management of the implants by the practitioner is necessary in order to increase the success rate of the technique. And the success of the treatment depends on the stability of the micro-implants. after taking consideration the several applications of laser irradiation on implant dentistry this study was undertaken to clinically investigate the stimulatory effect of laser irradiation on stability of orthodontic mini implants.
