A prospective, split-mouth, clinical study of orthodontic titanium miniscrews with machined and acid-etched surfaces.

CONCLUSIONS:: Neither the success rate nor the primary stability of acid-etched surface miniscrews and machined surface miniscrews differed significantly. There is a high possibility that miniscrews will fall out in patients who have an open bite or those who require total distalization. PMID: 30516419 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
