Insertion torque and Periotest values are important factors predicting outcome after orthodontic miniscrew placement

Approximately 14% of orthodontic anchor screws (miniscrews) become dislodged regardless of the accuracy of placement. It is therefore important to investigate the factors causing dislodgement. We evaluated the stability of miniscrews after placement to identify factors influencing outcome in orthodontic treatment using miniscrews.
