Abstract：Good anchorage design and control are crucial for the success of orthodontic treatment.Micro-implants,due to their low cost,small size,flexible implantation positions and simple operation,have been widely used in clinical ortho-dontics.In the initial stage of micro-implantation,primarily the dense cortical bone provides mechanical interlocking fix-ation for the micro-implant to achieve initial stability,while during the implantation process,the micro-implant also ex-erts compressive forces on the surrounding cortical bone,inducing morphological and microstructural alterations,which may affect the stability of micro-implant in the end.Therefore,this article presents a comprehensive review of recent re-search progress on changes in surrounding cortical bone after micro-implantation,related influencing factors,and the im-pact of these changes on the stability of micro-implant.The objective is to provide guidance for the application of micro-implants in orthodontic clinical practice.
