Guidelines for Success in Placement of Orthodontic Mini-Implants

摘要

Various skeletal anchorage devices were introduced in the late 20th century, including prosthodontic implants, zygoma ligatures, palatal onplants and implants, retromolar implants, mini-plates, and surgical screws. The latter, which became known as temporary anchorage devices (TADs), have become increasingly popular because they are small and easy to insert and remove, they can be loaded immediately after insertion, and they can provide absolute anchorage for many types of orthodontic treatment, with no need for special patient compliance.
