The Use of Miniplate Osteosynthesis for Skeletal Anchorage
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to explore the use of miniplates as skeletal anchorages for orthodontic treatment and to investigate the stability of miniplates and the causes of failure. METHODS: Forty-four miniplates were applied in the maxilla or mandible as skeletal anchorages in orthodontic treatment. Two weeks later, a force of 100 to 200 g was applied by an elastometric chain or nickel-titanium coil spring to move the teeth. To compare nominal variables related to miniplate failure, the chi-square or Fisher's exact test was used. RESULTS: The average insertion time of a miniplate was approximately 25 to 30 minutes. One miniplate loosened before orthodontic force loading. The other miniplate was removed after orthodontic force loading. The overall success rate was 95.5 percent. The authors found no significant differences in the risk factors for failure of miniplates. CONCLUSIONS: Miniplates are easy to insert for skeletal anchorage, simplify treatment mechanics, and shorten the orthodontic treatment period.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
