Implants and Ortho (Bibona) Flashcards
What are some reasons why Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) have become popular?
- Commercial availability
- Ease of placement
- Lack of patient cooperation
- Possibility of achieving better anchorage control during mechanotherapy
What is the term for resistance to unwanted tooth movement. With respect to ortho, it is the resistance to reaction forces that is provided by other teeth, by the palate, head or neck, and by anchors screwed to the jaws?
Anchorage
Which one of Newton’s Laws does Anchorage seek to minimize?
Newton’s 3rd Law: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
What is an important aspect of orthodontic treatment with respect to tooth movement?
Maximize desired tooth movement while minimizing undesirable side effects
What is central to achieving ideal overjet and overbite correction?
Anchorage control
What type of anchorage are Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) used for ?
Stationary or absolute anchorage
The stationary / absolute anchorage of TADS is synonymous with what?
Skeletal anchorage
What is the type of anchorage where the TAD receives reactive forces of a moving tooth / teeth?
Direct anchorage
What is the type of anchorage where the TAD is connected via a bar or a wire to a stabilized tooth, which receives the reactive forces of tooth movement?
Indirect anchorage
TADs can be used to do what to posterior teeth?
Protraction of posterior teeth
TADs can be used to do what to anterior teeth?
Retraction of anterior teeth to distal
What is the stability of TADs based on: mechanical retention or osseointegration?
Mechanical retention
Do TADs osseointegration?
No
What is the max torque a TAD is placed with?
5-10 Ncm torque. Any more than that causes compression necrosis.
What are 4 things affecting TAD stability?
- Thickness of cortical bone
- Implant design
- Implant site preparation
- Insertion torque
How much cortical bone is needed for TAD stability?
1-2mm
