Popis: The introduction of 3D diagnostic methods has brought about a global revolution in modern orthodontics. Among these, the introduction of digital data systems (digital models as STL files and cone-beam computed tomography scans in DICOM format) has had great clinical impact. The latest orthodontic application of these types of data is the possibility of matching them to obtain precise and faithful 3D reconstructions that contain information on both dental arches and the dentoskeletal structures. Acquiring important information such as bone thickness and morphology has made it possible to improve the validity, safety and reliability of palatal miniscrew insertion through the construction of digitally designed surgical guides (miniscrew-assisted palatal application, MAPA system) that enable controlled miniscrew insertion at the required angle and at the optimal depth, providing bicortical or tricortical anchorage in a safe and repeatable fashion.
