N2 - The limits for orthodontic treatment are often set by the lack of suitable anchorage. The mini-implant is used where conventional anchorage cannot be applied; not as a replacement for conventional anchorage. In patients with lack of teeth and reduced periodontium, skeletal anchorage allows for the optimal positioning of the teeth before rehabilitation. Patients, with need for inconsistent tooth movements as displacement of all teeth in the same direction or asymmetric displacements, can be treated with the mini-implants. Borderline surgical cases can benefit from the use of mini-implants. Regeneration of the alveolar process by tooth movement in edentulous molar regions using mini-implants as anchorage will improve the possibilities for reconstruction. The mini-implant serves thus as anchorage for a multiplicity of tooth movements; it can be inserted by the orthodontist, requires no drilling and can be loaded immediately.The course will be addressed the following topics:Are the mini-implants replacing conventional anchorage?Why are orthodontic mini-implants necessary?The development of the skeletal anchorage systems The biological basis for the skeletal anchorage systemsThe characteristics of the different skeletal anchorage systemsThe insertion procedure The indications for the use of orthodontic mini-implantsTreatment planning in relation to the use of mini-implantsCase presentations
