Endosseous Miniscrews: Historical, Vascular, and Integration Perspectives W. Eugene I?obens and Jeffery A. I?oberts
T he explosive development of temporary anchorage devices (TAUs) presents a professional dilemma for onhodomists. Ahhough a large body of evidence suppons oSSRoimegmrl'd anchorage, mOSt miniscrew and microscrew systems currently are HOI d..sjgn~'() for osseous integrution (osscointegration) and were mar· keted with liu le or no fundamcnwl scientific verifica lion. Clinical applications have superseded the scientific rationale for their effective use. In the :lbscnce of adequate (evidence-based) research, dinicians must rely on a limited number of beause of the nature of the malocdusion, the hosl response to the inv,\siwdevice( s), and the biomechan ical approaches favored by the cl inician,

Funhermore, a nonfunctional osseoimegrated implant may serve as an abutment for surgically assisted. rapid palatal expan~ion (I'igure \ . 1. 8) . ·I'h.., products with the longest clinical histOJY of efficacy are os~oimegra ted fixture~ originally designed for pros· thetic purposes. '·' Most current mini5Cl'eW5 are titanium (1i) or titanium aHoy and are manufadured with a smooth. machined surface that is nOI designed 10 osscoilllegratc. By definition. TAOs are temporary devices; no long·(;>ITn functiona l or esthetic role is planned. Thus. most TADs are removed a(ter orthodontic treatment Howe\'er. some osscointegrated TADs may be covered with saft tissue (· put 10 sleep") or retained for sustained I)ros· thetic funnion (see Fi gure I-I. B) . At present, Ihe mOSI common TADs include miniscrews. microsocws, min· ia ture implallts (mini·implants). pal'lml implan ts. modified bone plates. and retromolar im plants, as well ~s functionally loaded prosthetic implanlS. In addition, a TAD may be a temporary prosthetic component (e.g.. bracket allae,hed 10 gold crown) that is removed after treatment (Fib'\lre 1-2). '111erefore. TADs can range from nonintegrated miniscrews 10 implant·$upponed prostheses (ISPs) wilh lemporary onhodontic altlchments.
BACKGROUND At the Bone Research Laboratory at the UniveJ1'iily of Padlic in San Francisco, the authors performed a series of experiments 10 develop onhodontic anchorage devices.'·· .. Titanium miniscrt'ws. 2 mm in diameter with an acid·el(hed surface, were tested in rabbils. dogs. and monkeys from 1980 to 1988. "I'h .. de"ices were very predictable when pla(ed in exlraoral sites such as rab· bit femur a nd nasa l bones. ~""" but the intraoral use of Ihe miniscrews in dogs and monkeys was less successful (failure ratc. - 25%·50%). Failure was defined as 3
