Abstract

Objective: Small orthodontic mini-implants are useful as anchorage. However they have some weaknesses such as loosening. This study was carried out to analyze the mechanical effects of the dual pitch and diameter on the insertion and removal torque of mini-implants. Methods: The threads of mini-implants were mono and dual pitch. The diameters of mini-implants were 1.4 mm and 1.6 mm. Four groups were tested (mono 1.4 mm, mono 1.6 mm, dual 1.4 mm and dual 1.6 mm). All were inserted and removed on polyurethane foam with the torques being measured. Results: The maximum torque of the dual pitch groups was higher than the mono pitch groups during removal but lower during insertion. The maximum torque of the 1.6 mm diameter groups was higher than the 1.4 mm diameter groups during insertion and removal. The dual pitch 1.4 mm group showed the lowest insertion torque but had similar or superior levels of removal torque to that of the mono pitch 1.6 mm group. Conclusions: The dual pitch especially showed a continuous high removal torque after the peak. Despite the small diameter, the dual pitch might improve the initial mechanical stability.

작은 크기의 교정용 미니임플랜트는 교정적 고정원으로 널리 이용되고 있다. 그러나 빈번히 탈락하는 단점이 있어 이를 개선하기 위해 안정성을 향상시키기 위한 다양한 연구가 시도되어 왔다. 이 연구의 목적은 이중 피치와 직경에 관련하여 미니임플랜트의 안정성에 대한 기계적 성질을 비교 분석하는 것이다. 미니임플랜트의 길이는 8 mm였으며, 피치는 단일 피치형과 이중 피치형, 직경은 1.4 mm와 1.6 mm로 단일 피치형 1.4 mm, 단일 피치형 1.6 mm, 이중 피치형 1.4 mm, 이중 피치형 1.6 mm 등 총 4군으로 구성되었다. 각 군은 20개의 미니임플랜트로 구성되었고, 균일한 밀도의 polyurethane foam에 삽입 후 제거하였다. 시간에 따른 삽입 및 제거 토크의 변화와 각각의 최대 토크 등을 측정하여 기계적 성질을 비교 분석하였다. 이중 피치형은 단일 피치형보다 유의성 있게 더 낮은 최대 삽입 토크와 더 큰 최대 제거 토크를 보여주었다. 직경 1.6 mm는 1.4 mm보다 유의성 있게 더 큰 최대 삽입 토크와 최대 제거 토크를 보여주었다. 이중 피치형 1.4 mm군은 삽입 시에는 유의성 있게 가장 낮은 최대 삽입 토크를 보여주었으며 제거 시에는 단일 피치형 1.6 mm군보다 높거나 비슷한 최대 제거 토크를 보여주었다. 특히, 이중 피치형군은 최대 제거 토크 후 지속적으로 높은 제거 토크를 보여주었다. 미니임플랜트의 기계적 안정성은 이중 피치에 의해 향상될 수 있으며, 상부의 미세 나사산은 작은 직경에서도 풀림 토크에 저항하는 기계적 안정성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 보인다.
