A

Mucosa

Seal

29
Q

What is the procedure if the TAD is to be placed in the unattached mucosa?

A

A tissue punch that closely proximates the TAD’s diameter is needed to prevent soft-tissue bunching around the drill or the TAD, which results in postinsertion pain and inflammation later.

30
Q

Describe the protocol for palatal implant applications.

A

The palatal mucosa is perforated to the cortical bone using a mucosal punch and removed with an elevator or curette. After smoothing the exposed bone surface to prevent the profile drill from slipping, the center of the implant site is marked with a round bur. The implant bed is then prepared to the required width and depth using a series of pilot and twist drills. The drill axis perpendicular to the bone surface is defined based on the pre-surgical analysis from the radiographic images. While the insertion site is prepared, intermediate drilling and cooling of the channel with pre-cooled physiologcal saline should be carried along. The implant is then hand-installed as far into the site as possible and followed by use of a ratchet to tighten the implant to its final position

The implant is covered with a healing cap to prevent the inner screw well from clogging or vcovered by hyperplastic mutual tissue. It should be left undisturbed for 12 weeks before loading.

31
Q

How long do palatal implants need to integrate before loading?

A

12 weeks

32
Q

The placement of an implant in orthodontic treatment as an absolute anchorage devices facilitiates mechanotherapy. The inactive waiting time of at least __ months following insertion should not be seen as a delay in treatment because the advantages outweigh this delay. However, the general consensus on the timing for loading of TADs is that ___ is successful using forces ranging from 150-500g.

A

3

Immediate loading!!!

Although some still wait for healing of the peri-TAD tissues, increased failure rates due to immediate loading have not been recently reported

33
Q

For direct anchorage, the line of action of the force has to pass through the mini screw. If the line of action of the force does not pass through the mini-screw, as would be the case with a power arm, what could happen?

A

A force away from the mini-screw long axis would be generated. Since the miniscrews are not osseointegrated, a shearing force of this sort would likely lead to screw loosening and failure

34
Q

As a general rule, for dental restorative implants, at least ___mm of bone should be present circumferentially around the implant

A

1mm

35
Q

True or false… dental restorative implants placed prior to the completion of orthodontic treatment is not recommended. Why?

A

True, it is not recommended because it may interfere with the final alignment of the dentition, the restorability of the implant, and possibly the survival of the implant.

36
Q

Dental implants placed in the retromolar area can assist in what tooth movements?

A

Retraction/distalization

Intrusion

Leveling of the arches

37
Q

True or false.. the palate is a fine location with sound bone and minimal limiting anatomy

A

True

40
Q

TADs can help __, ___, ___, and ___ single teeth or entire segments of teeth

A

Retract

Protrude

Intrude

Extrude

41
Q

True or false… TADs are not capable of resisting forces in different directions once they are placed

A

True

Unfortunately, often the failure of a TAD in a strategic site may stall treatment until the bone has healed enough to place another. Or may result in major changes in treatment plan

42
Q

Define osseointegration in orthodontics

A

A process whereby a clinically asympotmaic, rigid fixation of alloplastic material is achieved and maintained in bone during functional loading.

43
Q

The percentage of implant-to-bone contact in removed implants have reported an average of ___% with a range from __-__%, shoring comparable results as osseointegrated prosthetic endosseous implants that yield at least 60% bone to implant contact.

A

75%

34%-93%

44
Q

The concept of primary stability has greater importance in TADs than restorative implants because TADs…

A

Do not have the potential to become stabler overtime due to their polished surfaces.

45
Q

In an animal study, mini-screw TADs showed as little as __% bone contact at the bone-implant interface successfully resisted orthodontic force.

A

5%

46
Q

Integration of the TAD threads with the ___ is the main anchor of the TAD bone interface

A

Cortical bone

47
Q

Why should placement torques of TADs be used with caution?

A

They may result in excessive stress on the insertion hole (cortical bone is where most stability comes from)

48

51
Q

It has been estimated that growth in the maxillary width is an average of __mm between ages 10 and 18

A

3mm

52
Q

Why should palatal implants not be placed at the midline in growing patients?

A

The restricting effect of the implants on the transverse growth of the maxilla has been presented in animal studies

Also, placement of implants in the midpalatal suture in growing patients should not be recommended because of the questionable quality of bone in that area

*instead, paramedian placement should be considered

53
Q

True or false… by implant placement in the palate, the sutureal lowering of the maxillary complex as well as the apposition at the orbital floor and at the infrazygomatic crest should not be affected; however, the resorptive lowering of the nasal floor and the increase of the alveolar bone height of the maxilla can be influenced

A

True

54
Q

Between age 4 and adulthood, the nasal floor drifts ___mm inferiorly and the height of the maxillary alveolar bone increases ___mm. Assuming that about 1/3rd of these growth changes takes place from age 12 - adulthood, that implies a residual vertical growth of about ___in the palate and about ___ in the alveolar bone both by drift.

A
  1. 6mm
  2. 6mm
  3. 5mm

5mm

55
Q

Osseointegrated implants are in direct contact with bone, do not possess a PDL, and behave like ___. Therefore, a palatal implant would remain an average ___mm behind its surrounding bone whereas an implant placed in the alveolar bone would produce an infraocclusion of ___ during the same period.

A

Ankylosed teeth

1.5mm

5mm

56
Q

Because palatal implants may be submerged in bone (like ankylosed teeth) what is an important thing to consider if it is attached to teeth directly or indirectly?

A

It may lead to infraeruption of a single tooth, several teeth, or the whole maxillary dentition

57
Q

One should keep in mind that palatal implants, and TADs, remain in situ for ___ years. Thus, potential ___ impairment is likely to be limited to values less than __mm

A

1-2 years

1mm

58
Q

Name 4 complication classifications that can occur with TADs

A

1) during insertion (periodontal damage to root surface, damage to important anatomy, slippage, breakage)
2) during loading (loosening and migration of the TAD)
3) soft tissue complications during treatment (ulcers, soft tissue coverage, inflammation, peri-implantitis)
4) during removal (fracture of TADs due to partial osseointegration)

59
Q

What is the most likely complication with TADs?

A

Damage of the root surface and PDL

60
Q

How are palatal implants removed? How long does recover take?
