Stress distribution patterns at mini-implant site during retraction and intrusion—a three-dimensional finite element study
Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the stress patterns produced in mini-implant and alveolar bone, for various implant dimensions, under different directions of simulated orthodontic force, using a three-dimensional finite element method. Methods Eight finite element (FE)...
