- Abstract
OBJECTIVE:- Introduction of miniscrews to orthodontics has led to their extensive use in critical anchorage situations. However, their widespread use is not free from certain potential risks, which must be identified to avoid / manage them. MATERIAL AND METHODS:- A thorough research of literature using electronic database was carried out and is being presented in combination with the author's experience with miniscrews. RESULT:- Like all forms of medical and dental treatment, the placement of miniscrews is not free from certain potential risks, complications and limitations. CONCLUSION: The simple design of miniscrew and ease of placement makes them comfortable for both, the clinician and the patient. However, the potential risks of their use (such as root trauma, primary instability, peri-implantitis, delayed mobility and failure) must be clearly understood and appropriate risk control procedures should be implemented. Potential complications must be considered and taken care of throughout treatment, for uneventful, secure and successful results.
