Anchorage is crucial in controlling tooth movement during orthodontic treatment. Different designs have been introduced to increase the stability of miniscrews. A new miniscrew, The Sydney Mini Screw (SMS), with a hollow chamber and lateral port holes, has been developed to allow the diffusion of an injectable bone graft substitute (iBGS) into cancellous bone. The aim of this study was to analyse the optimum iBGS application with ideal chemo-mechanical properties to be used in conjunction with the novel SMS.
