title: [Progress of histological study on anchorage implants].
abstract: The study and the application of anchorage implants had attracted more and more attention from the orthodontists. This article reviewed the histological studies involving the implants used as orthodontic anchorage and found tendency to be micro-implants and self-drilling. The new concepts of osseointegration between micro-implant and bone, immediate loading, long-term loading and periodontal repair after injury from anchorage implant evoked challenges to the conventional understanding.
