Abstract: Abstract There is no independent study directly on mini-screw placement patterns among private orthodontic practioners in the South Indian population. The present study was designed to investigate the current trends and protocols and especially the tendencies during mini-implant usage among South Indian orthodontists. Materials and Methods The orthodontists were asked to click on a link to complete an automated questionnaire of 16 multiple-choice questions. Blinded, annotated data were extracted for statistical analysis. Questionnaire was sent to 300 certified orthodontists who are residing in south India (Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil nadu, Andra Pradesh and Goa). Results A total of 150 respondents practiced in an urban setup while 110 practiced in a semi urban or rural locality. Among the urban orthodontists, 120 had used miniscrews while among the orthodontists practicing in a semi urban/rural set up only 50 had used minimplant. Majority of responents (85%) used mini screw mainly for rteaction of anterior teeth in high anchorage cases followed by mini screw utlised for intrusion mechanics and only 5% of orthodontists used mini screw for occlusal cant corection.The reason given by orthodontists for not using miniscrews in their clinical practice were lack of training (70%). Conclusion Majorly mini screws are used for retraction of anterior teeth in high anchorage cases followed by intrusion mechanics among respondents and major complication faced by respondents were loosening of mini screws followed by soft tissue over growth and reason for not using miniscrew majorly because of lack of skills.
