Lecture Description
Introduction : Orthodontic treatment which demands more anchorage control and less patient compliance has led to the development of various orthodontic implants and skeletal anchorage systems. Temporary anchorage devices (TADS) have not only increased the horizons of orthodontic treatment but has also enabled clinicians to perform predictable tooth movement with minimum patient compliance. Temporary anchorage devices (TADS) have many advantages such as low cost, simple surgical procedures and convenient size of the implants. Use of skeletal anchorage system for distalization/mesialisation /intrusions/retraction not only prevents anchorage loss but also allows predictable tooth movement in shorter period of time.
Discussion : New imaging techniques like CBCT, CAD-CAM, digital printing has allowed us to take innovative steps towards the planning of the treatment with more precision. And combining it with 3D printing has enabled construction of customized appliances. CAD-CAM based fabrication has several advantages over manual production method, which includes greater consistency among laboratory, better quality control during manufacturing procedure and faster production.
Conclusion : This presentation describes the use of customized splint made with digital imaging, CAD-CAM technology and TADS to achieve predictable orthodontic tooth movement.
