Abstract :

Summary Anchoring in orthodontics is a constant challenge, so the use of micro screws as an absolute anchor has increased. An adequate installation of the micro–screw is an important part for the success of the procedure, so the objective of this review is to compile the existing protocols in the use of pharmacological prophylaxis associated with the installation of micro–screws and relate it to its stability. The literature review indicates that there are no conclusive protocols on the use of local or systemic pharmacology in relation to the use of micro screws, nor their direct association with stability, so they should consider the patient‘s own characteristics to individualize cases and not apply a standard protocol of pharmacological prophylaxis.
