Abstract
•Mini-implants were placed in blocks simulating cortical bone.•Effects of bone thickness and density on pullout strength were assessed.•Both cortical layer density and thickness were positively correlated with pullout strength.•Density has a greater impact on pullout strength than thickness.•1-mm cortical thickness is the threshold value for pullout strength.
