The introduction of ‘temporary anchorage devices’ (TADs) represents an unparalleled paradigm shift in the specialty of orthodontics, where absolute anchorage is no longer an ideal but an everyday reality.

This course will provide evidence-based information on the theory and practice of orthodontic anchorage, and create the knowledge and comfort level necessary for practitioners to treat a wide variety of indications with a high level of success.

Topics that will be discussed include treatment planning and implant site location, self-tapping vs. self-drilling, keys to maximizing clinical success rates, simple and efficient biomechanics, and being prepared for both the opportunities and the challenges involved with anchorage pin use. However, before the theory can be applied on live patients, it is necessary to gain an adequate hands-on comfort level with this new treatment method.

Therefore, this course offers a hands-on workshop, following the main lecture, which will present didactic elements and practical exercises on simulation models that will educate participants on how to place a mini-implant correctly and successfully, what specific biomechanics
to use for three different indications, and how to load and remove a tomas® pin.

At the conclusion of this workshop, each participant will be able to keep the patient simulation model he or she personally created. This will serve as an excellent consultation aid for use with future patients.
