Measurements of the anatomical structures of the mandibular buccal shelf for the safe insertion of mini-implants: a cone-beam computed tomography retrospective study
The optimal implantation site for mini-implant in the MBS is at the buccal site corresponding to the second molar. A maximum insertion length of ≤ 12 mm and a maximum insertion angle which respects the long axial of the tooth root of ≤ 28° are recommended for the safe insertion of mini-implants in the MBS.
