Abstract

Orthodontic mini-implants surface treated with sandblasting followed by acid etching promotes partial osteointegration and improved stability to achieve the desired clinical outcome without witnessing failure of the mini-implants. The custom surface treated mini-implants were used in a class I bimaxillary protrusion case indicated for all first premolar extraction and absolute anchorage. These surface treated miniimplants remained stable for the entire retraction period and thereby helped to achieve significant retraction as witnessed by the significant improvement in the clinical and cephalometric soft tissue parameters.
