In clinical practice, mini-screws of titanium-6-aluminum-4-vanadium alloy with an extra low interstitial (ELI) grade (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) are widely used as orthodontic anchorages. However, in orthodontic treatment, Ti-6Al-4V mini-screw failure because of peri-implantitis is a major challenge. To prevent damage caused by peri-implantitis, we developed a novel Ti-6Al-4V disc/screw coated with poly(lactide-
