ABSTRACT: The success of skeletal anchorage using mini screws is related to their stability in the bone
tissue. Factors that influence the immediate stability of metal implants are related to the design of the
device to the quantity and quality of bone and insertion technique. The present work studied bone inter-
face contact parameter by x-ray microtomogra ...
