Clinical Tips for Placing TAD
Bone anchorage is a promising new field in orthodontics (TAD’s). Micro-implant anchors, also known as temporary anchorage devices, have been used to enhance orthodontic anchorage for difficult tooth movements. Here the author describes about the precautions to be taken while placing implant to lessen implant failure. Micro-implant screw is removed when orthodontic treatment is completed. It takes a minute to remove it and causes no pain. These micro-implants are placed between the roots of the teeth as well as location nearby the roots of the teeth and the palate. Recently, a number of case reports have appeared in orthodontic literature documenting the possibility of overcoming anchorage limitations via the use of temporary anchorage devices (TAD - biocompatible devices fixed to bone for the purpose of moving teeth).This article aims to outline some of the basic biologic parameters for their use.
