American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 08/17/09
Morarend C et al. – In vitro, larger–diameter (2.5 mm) monocortical screws provide greater anchorage force resistance than do smaller–diameter (1.5 mm) monocortical screws in both the mandible and the maxilla. Smaller–diameter (1.5 mm) bicortical screws provide anchorage force resistance at least equal to larger–diameter (2.5 mm) monocortical screws. An alternative to placing a larger–diameter miniscrew for additional anchorage is a narrower bicortical screw.
