Objective: to analyse orthodontic mini-implants based on a systematic review of stability and risk factors. Method: Systematic review. Results: 15 scientific articles were reviewed. Conclusion: The stability of orthodontic mini-implants is an important factor for their clinical success and depends on a combination of variables related to implant design, surgical technique, anatomical location and the patient's biological conditions. Factors such as length, surface roughness and the use of advanced techniques, such as image-guided placement and laser photobiomodulation, have been shown to improve stability and reduce failures.
