Enhancing Mini-Implant Outcomes: An Experimental Study on the Effect of Stabilization Discs

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Orthodontic mini-implants often face challenges related to mobility and anchorage loss. The stabilization disc (SD), a flat device with four prongs made from biocompatible metals like titanium or stainless steel, has been developed to reinforce implant stability by distributing forces more evenly and reducing localized stress around the implant site. This study investigates how the inclusion of an SD affects the mechanical performance of mini-implants under orthodontic forces. A finite element m
