TADs
The TADs section was designed to provide an overview of Temporary Anchorage Devices from a Historical perspective. The evolution of Temporary Anchorage Devices was based on the development and improvement of traditional Orthodontic Anchorage, Dental Implants, and Skeletal Fixation methods. Later, modifications of these techniques were unified with basic biologic and biomechanical principles of osseointegration into orthodontic mechanics that were finally improved based on experiences with Interdisciplinary Dentistry.
The current state of the art is then presented to give the reader a contemporary view of Temporary Anchorage Device technology. First, a concise Definition of Temporary Anchorage Devices is given. Then, a well thought out TAD Classification system that includes all of the currently available TADs is presented. Finally, this is followed by the TAD Nomenclature necessary for clinicians to accurately communicate with their professional colleagues.
