Exploring Optimal Sites for Mini-implant Insertion in the Infrazygomatic Crest: Cone-beam CT Study

Posted: November 21, 2024
This study explored optimal sites for mini-implant insertion into the infrazygomatic crest to facilitate maxillary arch distalization. Understanding the anatomy of this region is crucial to avoid complications like maxillary sinus perforations. The research analyzed 201 cone-beam computed tomography scans and found significant correlations between crest depth, age, gender, skeletal classification, and vertical pattern. Key findings include differences in total and intraalveolar lengths between sides and patterns, with normodivergent cases showing lower ridge height. These insights are vital for precise mini-implant placement and orthodontic treatment planning.
