Comparison of In-Vivo Failure of Surface Etched Temporary Anchorage Devices (TAD) with that of Unetched Temporary Anchorage Devices over an Eight-Month Period: A Split Mouth Randomized Clinical Control Trial
Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have revolutionized orthodontics mechanics by providing an indispensable source of anchorage. This presentation will shed light on a simple chairside method to reduce the loosening and failure of TAD.
Learning Objectives:
After this lecture, attendees will be able to:
Recognize design features of orthodontic TADs.
Discuss methods of increasing the stability of TADs.
Demonstrate method of acid etching TAD to improve the stability.
