Q

What is the max torque a TAD is placed with?

A

5-10 Ncm torque. Any more than that causes compression necrosis.

Q

What are 3 considerations for the location of a TAD?

A
  1. Root proximity
  2. Cortical bone thickness
  3. Gingival type
18
Q

Where do they think the TAD is best placed with respect to the gingiva?

A

Mucogingival junction

19
Q

What are 3 things to determine with respect to biomechanics considerations before placing TADs?

A
  1. Desired tooth movement
  2. Desired force system and its equilibrium
  3. Side effects on the teeth and the anchorage system
20
Q

What are 5 indications for TADs (5 tooth movements)?

A
  1. Intrusion of maxillary teeth
  2. Distalization of molars and groups of teeth
  3. Canine retraction and intrusion retraction mechanics
  4. Anterior open bite correction
  5. Molar protraction and maximum anchorage
21
Q

What ortho can be done if there is a supererupted maxillary molar decreasing area for mandibular restoration?

A

Molar intrusion

22
Q

What must be considered when intruding a tooth with respect to bone levels?

A

Surrounding bone levels. Want it higher with the tooth to avoid causing a perio defect as the tooth intrudes and takes bone with it

23
Q

How many TADs are placed to intrude a tooth?

A

Two (one on each side). Buccal plate attached to zygomatic buttress and one in the palate.

24
Q

What would happen if only a TAD was placed on the buccal?

A

Would only tip the molar in that direction

25
Q

With respect to resistance where should the TAD be placed for molar intrusion?

A

At the center of resistance

26
Q

Will there be some relapse after molar intrusion?

A

Yes, so sometimes go a little further than needs.

27
Q

If you an have anterior open bite patient with anterior crowding and want to level and align them first with ortho, where is the only way for the teeth to go?

A

Flare out, therefore the open bite opens a bit more.

28
Q

What is another way to close an anterior open bite?

A

Place a transpalatal arch and a buccal TAD to intrude the maxillary molars

29
Q

What is the purpose of the TPA when closing an anterior open bit with TADs by intruding the maxillary molars?

A

Aides the intrusion and stops the buccal tipping

30
Q

How does using a TPA and a Buccal TAD close an anterior open bite?

A

Intrudes the molars lowering the maxillary occlusal plane, causing the mandible to rotate up, which closes some of the distance to the maxillary anteriors

31
Q

How will an anterior open bite closing be finished after the maxillary molar instrusion via TPA + Buccal TAD?

A

Some anterior extrusion to close

32
Q

What is the force system in a buccal TAD?

A

The force is intruding apically. The system is buccal to the center of rotation, so the tooth will roll buccally as it intrudes. That is why you place a palatal TAD or TPA.

33
Q

For every ___ mm of molar intrusion you get a ___ mm of closure in the anterior open bite?

A
1mm intrusion
2mm closure (or 2mm increase in overbite)
34
Q

What is a problem with molar protrusion (bringing molars anterior) especially if it is a unilateral molar protrusion?

A

Shift of the midline towards side being protracted. Opposite arch problems for the arch that is used as anchorage to protract the opposite molar.

35
Q

What is the TAD for molar protraction a good choice?

A

It saves the midline

36
Q

Protrusion of molars uses what type of anchorage: direct or indirect?

A

Direct, the TAD receives all the force to move the molar forward

37
Q

How could indirect anchorage be used to protract a molar?

A

Attach a group of anterior teeth to the TAD, then use this stabilized group of anterior teeth as the anchorage that protracts the molar (the anteriors are protected from midline shift because their anchorage is the TAD)

38
Q

How can asymmetric space closure be accomplished with TADs?

A

With simultaneous protraction and retraction.

39
Q

What are 2 things that TADs provide?

A
  1. Maximum anchorage

2. Ability to do asymmetric mechanics

40
Q

TADs are based on principles of what?

A

Biomechanics
