“…However, if screw reuse is performed by some professionals, and it is, then this study corroborates the important opinion of other authors that recycling should follow stricter guidelines [7, 12]. From a viewpoint of screw mechanical characteristics, recycling by ultrasonic-sandblasting and autoclave sterilization can be a feasible protocol.…”

“…Importantly, scientific lines of evidence have shown that traditional cleaning processes, such as sonication, even when associated with chemical agents, cannot be sufficient to efficiently remove the proteinaceous biofilm from contaminated instruments, and more aggressive and complex recycling methods as electrolysis have been suggested [7, 12, 26]. Considering that sandblasting is a simple procedure able to clean the screw surface by abrasive mechanical stripping, which can still benefit bone tissue response [27, 28], this study evaluated the mechanical strength of screws previously inserted in pig iliac bone that underwent recycling processes including sonication, sandblasting, and autoclave sterilization (group 3).…”

Purpose. This study evaluated the influence of recycling process on the torsional strength of mini-implants. Materials and Methods. Two hundred mini-implants were divided into 4 groups with 50 screws equally distributed in five diameters (1.3 to 1.7 mm): control group (CG): unused mini-implants, G1: mini-implants inserted in pig iliac bone and removed, G2: same protocol of group 1 followed by sonication for cleaning and autoclave sterilization, and G3: same insertion protocol of group 1 followed by sonication for cleaning before and after sandblasting (Al2O3-90 µ) and autoclave sterilization. G2 and G3 mini-implants were weighed after recycling process to evaluate weight loss (W). All the screws were broken to determine the fracture torque (FT). The influence of recycling process on FT and W was evaluated by ANOVA, Mann-Whitney, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results. FT was not influenced by recycling protocols even when sandblasting was added. Sandblasting caused weight loss due to abrasive mechanical stripping of screw surface. Screw diameter was the only variable that affected FT. Conclusions. Torsional strengths of screws that underwent the recycling protocols were not changed. Thus, screw diameter choice can be a more critical step to avoid screw fracture than recycling decision.

“…Kumar's studies [5] show that a simple washing is not always sufficient as a pre-sterilization cleaning method. The microscopic images of the mini-implants from the YA4 group confirm this, much organic debris being observed there.…”

“…These procedures can interfere with most of the mechanical and surface characteristics of the mini-implants. The evaluation of the efficiency of ultrasonic, electrolytic and chemical cleaning procedures had been made in several studies [4][5][6], but in the Romanian literature, we found no study regarding the testing of the mechanical properties of the mini-implants after sterilization. Another important aspect studied in several papers [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] is the changes made by the sterilization and insertion procedures to the properties of temporary anchor devices.…”

The main objective of the present study was to evaluate the maximum insertion energy and the surface topography of the Yes Anchor (Orlus TM) orthodontic mini-implants subject to various cleaning and sterilization procedures. A total of 50 orthodontic mini-implants divided in 5 groups were subjected to testing. The only one significant difference (p = 0.04) of the maximum insertion energy was observed between groups YA1 and YA3.

“…The G1 group of mini-implants were ultrasonically cleaned in order to determine whether or not this method completely decontaminates and cleans the mini-implants surface. Some studies have demonstrated [11][12][13] that sonication cannot be sufficient to remove the proteinaceous biofilm from the contaminated instruments. We can also state that sonication did not cleaned the implants from the G1 group.…”

The objective of this study was to analyse morphological and surface topography variations of two types of mini-implants after using different chemical and physical cleaning methods and autoclaved sterilization. One hundred mini-implants from two different manufacturers were used in this study. The mini-implants from each manufacturer were divided in five groups, each consisting of ten samples: G0 new, unused, G1 ultrasonically cleaned, G2 chemically cleaned, G3 sandblasted, G4 cleaned with distilled water. SEM analyses of the mini-implants were performed. Only procedures used in samples from group G2 and G3 removed the tissue remains from the mini-implants surface.
