The speaker

TADS were one of the most discussed topics of the last decade. It started inthe 90th and experienced in the last 10 years an extreme hype. Practitionerswere enthusiastic about the possibility to counteract newton’s third law.Now, more than ten years later quite a lot of clinicians a frustrated abouthigh loss rates and non-working biomechanics. Currently, the alveolarprocess still is the most preferred insertion site. However, due to the varyingbone quality and the risk of root contact, the survival rate of implantsinserted in the alveolar ridge , especially interradicular, still needsimprovement. Other regions, such as the anterior palate for miniscrewsand implants or the mental region for miniplates, provide much betterconditions for mini-implant insertion, since the amount and quality of the

available bone is far superior. Implants with different types of abutmentsand connectors allow the construction of versatile and cost efficientappliances for a large variety of orthopedic and orthodontic applications.Utilizing TAD´s in the anterior palate and the mental region eliminatesthe risk of root injury and takes the implants out of the path of toothmovement. This lecture will show an overview of the up to date literature,current developments of appliance designs, main indications, placementtechniques, and risk factors during placement and orthodontic treatment.It will especially focus on the success rate of mini-implants, palatal implantsand miniplates and the biomechanics of the connected orthodonticappliance. The lecture will show scientific and clinical perspectives on howmini-screws can become a safe and reliable standard device.
