Abstract  

In orthodontic treatment, forces are used to perform tooth movements depending on the magnitude, direction and duration, generating cellular and vascular responses in the periodontium. Orthodontic movement involves inflammatory responses resulting from this damage repair process. With the introduction of mini implants in orthodontic treatment, it allows us to obtain better control over the patient's movements by decreasing the load on the teeth such as in case of retraction, intrusions of a tooth or sector and mesializations. Unfortunately, it has been reported that between 13.4% and 20.1% of IMs loosen and fail shortly after placement. Sufficient primary stability is one of the determining factors [1]. The stability of the mini-implant can be influenced by the way of placement or direction of the implant, bone quality, loading force, adhesion and bacterial proliferation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the stability of mini-implants in the periodontium during orthodontic treatment. Methodology: it is a bibliographic systematic review work, qualitative design through the systematic review of articles. Using the PudMed, Scielo, Dialnet and some university repositories databases. Conclusions: The primary stability of mini-implants is considered the most important criterion to evaluate the success rate of orthodontic mini-implants
