Abstract：Mini-implant anchorage for the orthodontic treatment is an effective method ,the stability is critical in the achievement of reliable anchorage .Micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT) technique is a new device using X -ray imaging principle of ultra-high-resolution three-dimen-sional imaging equipment, without destroying sample , bones arond the mini-implant with ultra high-resolution X-ray imaging to obtain high precision three -dimensional images and quantitative analysis of the structure, density and mechanics.Micro-CT is a powerful tool to study hard tissue material .In this paper, the current application of micro-CT in the field of orthodontic micro-implants is reviewed.
