LECTURE TOPICS:

Temporary Anchorage Devices in Orthodontics
This course will briefly cover the historical background of orthodontic temporary anchorage devices (OrthoTADs), before specifically covering the scientific basis upon which this new treatment modality was founded with a critical analysis of the literature using animal experiments and clinical examples to illustrate the use of the technique for enhancing orthodontic anchorage. The clinical component of the day is broken into the following sections: indications/contraindications, diagnosis and treatment planning, surgical placement, biomechanical considerations and clinical applications, and removal procedures. Finally, potential complications will be outlined.
