Abstract
Miniplates were successfully retained by MPAS even with less-than-ideal placement. Root contact and proximity of MPAS seem to have minimal effects on the successful stabilization of miniplates. Pertinent guidelines should, however, be followed during MPAS placement to minimize the risk of damage to adjacent roots.
