Description
Santmartí-Oliver and co-authors review the evidence on placing orthodontic miniscrews with guidance rather than freehand. Miniscrews give braces a firm anchor, but a poorly placed screw can damage a tooth root. The review gathers studies up to March 2024 comparing freehand placement with radiographic guides and computer-assisted methods. Eleven studies covering 652 screws met the criteria, and safety results were pooled where the data allowed.
Static computer-assisted placement cut root damage sharply compared with freehand work and reduced angle and position errors. No dynamic-guidance studies were available to analyze, and most included studies carried real limits on bias. The authors conclude that static guidance is the safer, more accurate route today. They call for better protocols and proper studies of dynamic systems. For orthodontists, the review sums up what guidance buys and where the evidence is still thin.
