What Happens When Mini Screws Contact Root Surfaces?
The aim of this presentation is to show the clinical consequences of injured root surfaces when mini screws intentionally had been moved into contact with premolar roots or premolar roots accidentally touched by the mini screw or the pilot drill. The SEM findings on the surface morphology and histological findings of the damaged and repaired root surfaces will be presented. Long-term outcome of teeth with possible iatrogenic damage following mini screw application will be discussed.
