· Direct anchorage - Applying force directly from the TAD to the teeth that require movement (target teeth)
· Indirect anchorage - Using the TAD indirectly to stabilize a tooth or group of teeth where tooth movement should not take place, thus creating an implanto-dental anchorage (IDA) unit
Direct anchorage is generally perceived as being “easier” to use. This simplicity however comes with a substantial trade
off: when a force is applied from the TAD directly to the target teeth, pulling mechanics typically result. As the target
teeth are moved towards the TAD, the type of tooth movement dictates where the implant needs to be placed. Mesial
movement therefore requires placement of the TAD mesially to the target teeth, distal movement requires placement
distal to the target teeth, etc. (Fig 1). This may require placement of a TAD in a less favorable position within a patient’s
jaw and thus could increase failure rates.
In contrast, indirect anchorage is very similar to our traditional orthodontic thought
process: the area with high anchorage requirements will be stabilized by a TAD, thus
preventing anchorage loss. In this scenario target teeth are moved against the IDA unit
with the advantage that implant site selection can occur almost independently of the
desired tooth movement (Fig 2). Thereby, insertion can take place at the anatomically
most favorable site and thus possibly reduce failure rates.
Clinically the greatest difference however may lie in the “hidden” force vectors that
are associated with the direct approach, which may come as a surprise to the untrained
practitioner. The indirect approach allows for the use of traditional orthodontic mechanics
with the difference that the teeth in the IDA unit are “locked in” and will not move as
a result of orthodontic force application.
Dr. Joseph Petrey
case 14: temporary implants ...................................................................................
Different Anchorage Concepts
Anchorage is generally defined as resistance to undesired tooth movement. TADs can be used to prevent this side effect
of orthodontic force application in two different ways:
22
(Fig. 1) Direct anchorage
resulting in “pulling” mechanics
Coupling the TAD to the teeth
The head of the mini-implant is the coupling site through which the implant is connected (Fig. 2) Indirect anchorage
to the dentition. Clearly, it can influence the resulting biomechancis substantially. For
allowing versatile tooth movement
example, the head can be a limiting factor when it comes to the selection of the anchorage
approach and thus may indirectly influence where the TAD will be inserted (see above). From a clinical viewpoint, a TAD
head with maximum biomechanical versatility appears to be the most favorable design as it gives the clinicians multiple
options for orthodontic force application. Mini-implant heads today can be grouped into two major groups with several
subgroups each.
The first category consists of the so-called “anchor-head” designs. These allow only the attachment of elastic modules or
ligature wires. The second category are the so-called “bracket-head” designs which are equipped with either a single slot
or a cross slot. In addition to the attachment of elastic modules or ligatures, these also allow the ligation of rectangular
wires. Building rectangular steel wires into the anchorage set-up can greatly increase the stability of the IDA unit.
Two options exist for attaching the wire to the bracket head implant: ligature ligation and ligature-free ligation using
composite. Ligature ligation requires either an eyelet or tie wings which can result in a higher profile TAD head and thus
cause irritation to the patients. Ligature-free ligation using composite requires neither and thus results in a smaller, lower
profile, and less contoured head, where hygiene is easier maintained and the chances for mucosal irritation are reduced.
In addition, the composite connection provides the most dependable indirect anchorage as it is very rigid and fail-safe.
To date, only the tomas® system is specifically designed for ligature-free ligation.
Implant site selection
In theory, a TAD can be inserted anywhere there is bone, but only three general sites have stood the test of time for routine
TAD insertion: the buccal alveolus of the maxilla and mandible, the lingual alveolus of the maxilla, and the palate. It is
strongly recommended that clinicians focus on these sites when planning a TAD placement to ensure maximum success.
In other words, the goal should be to insert TADs in anatomically favorable areas of the jaws to achieve maximum clinical
success rates. After that the proper anchorage approach (direct/indirect) is easily chosen, based on the placement site and
the intended tooth movement. This freedom of choice only exists however with a bracket head TAD.

ANESTHESIA
Any form of anesthesia that provides predictable numbing of the soft tissues can be used:
• Topical anesthesia with a potent formulation (for example TAC Alternate 20% which includes Lidocaine 20%,
Tetracaine 4%, Phenylephrine 2% and can be ordered from a compounding laboratory)
• Infiltration anesthesia with a traditional syringe or a needle-free injection system
Dentaurum makes no representation regarding the type or dosage of anesthetic to use when placing tomas® miniscrews.
individual preference and the anatomical relationships at the given insertion site. The following
recommendations are general guidelines to keep TAD insertion simple and successful.
To view TAD placement videos, visit www.tomasforum.com
Step 1–Implant Site Location
Patient x-rays, models, and tomas® X-Marker can all
be used to help identify the proper TAD insertion site.
The ideal insertion sites should be in the buccal alveolus,
the lingual alveolus of the maxilla or the palate.
Step 2–Anesthesia
STEP 1 – DISCUSS TAD PLACEMENT STEPS WITH PATIENT
• Inform and show patient exactly where the TAD(s) will be placed.
• Discuss the placement procedure and explain the risks, benefits, and alternatives of the insertion and the use of TADs during treatment.
• Answer any questions or concerns that the patient may have - leave ample consideration time (min. 24 hr).
• Patient or Parent should sign an Informed Consent (TADs are included in the form available from the AAO)
Use a topical anesthetic with a potent formulation,
followed optionally by local infiltration anesthesia
depending on the thickness of the soft tissue.
STEP 2 – SET UP TRAY
• Clean and disinfect all clinical contact surfaces, including treatment tray or cart.
• Clean hands thoroughly and don surgical gloves.
• Keep all containers, instruments, and supplies free from contamination until patient is ready for the
procedure. Do not remove sterile TAD(s) from container(s).
It is recommended to note the tissue depth with a
probe. The tissue punch step is optional in attached
gingiva and recommended in mucosa. It provides for
clean tissue borders without compression trauma to
the peri-implant soft tissues.
STEP 3 – PREPARE INSERTION SITE
• Don surgical gloves, gown, face mask, and protective eye wear.
• Have patient rinse for 30 seconds with 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate (optional).
• Dry gingival tissue.
• Using a sterile cotton swab, apply topical anesthetic per pharmacy instructions.
• Apply topical anesthetic no longer than 3 minutes and then rinse off. (Do not wipe)
STEP 4 – PLACE MINISCREW
• Follow protocol on opposite page.
• Have patient rinse again for 30 seconds with 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate after TAD insertion (optional).
STEP 5 - LOAD MINISCREW AFTER INSERTION
• See enclosed case indications for examples on how to load tomas® auxiliaries.
STEP 6 – PROVIDE HOME-CARE INSTRUCTIONS
• Instruct patient to rinse with 0.12% chlorhexidine gluconate daily for the first seven days (optional).
• Direct patient to brush lightly around the miniscrew during the first week. Patient may brush normally after the first week.
• Advise patient to contact the office if he/she experiences any swelling, persistent pain, or other discomfort.
STEP 7 – CLEAN UP AREA
• Transport contaminated instruments and supplies in a closed container to the sterilization area.
• Dispose of consumable products and follow appropriate cleaning and sterilization instructions for each instrument.

(Dentaurum makes no representation regarding the type or dosage
of anesthetic to use when placing tomas® miniscrews.)
Step 3–Tissue Punch (optional)
Step 4–CB Perforation (optional)
Pre-drilling is not required when placing a self-drilling
TAD, but it can be beneficial in some cases (especially
in the mandible). Center drilling the bone can help
the threads to engage easier and reduce slippage. In
areas of increased cortical bone thickness, pre-drilling
is advisable to reduce excessive bone compression.
Step 5–Initial Insertion
Initial insertion takes place with the acrylic applicator in
which the tomas® pin is delivered. This ensures that
the sterile state of the TAD is not compromised.
Step 6–Final Insertion
Final insertion can be completed with other instruments
in the tomas® system, such as the screwdriver, the
wheel & applicator, or the torque ratchet & applicator,
depending on your preference.

E If the bite is excessively deep, you can use occlusal bite elevators to generate the required clearance.
EA strongly interdigitated occlusion can hinder tooth movement. If little progress is evident, unlock occlusion
with occlusal bite elevators.
 Indirect molar protraction can also be achieved segmentally, so a full arch bonding may not be necessary.
 When not using a double buccal tube, protraction may be achieved by attaching the tomas® closed coil spring directly to the molar hook, however this may cause an excessive vertical force component, tipping of the molar,
increased friction and clinical treatment time.
E This biomechanical solution is extremely helpful with agenesis of maxillary lateral incisors.

EIndirect molar protraction can also be done segmentally, so a full arch bonding is not necessary if the only treatment
objective is the unilateral space closure.
EBonding lingual buttons on the 1st bicuspid and the molar and attaching a Power Chain can reduce the rotational moment
and reduce friction.
EIf anterior retraction is planned after the distalization, the TAD position should be further distal (2nd bicuspid level).
EIn cases with a deep bite or strong cusp embrasure, it can be beneficial to unlock the occlusion with occlusal bite elevators.
EThe larger the tooth segment that should be distalized, the more difficult it becomes. Here it may make sense to subdivide the
segment. For example distalizing 1st and 2nd molars first, then distalizing bicuspids and canines.

Dr. Bumann‘s Clinical Pearls:
EIf uprighting through distal tipping of the crown is desired, the set-up does not need to be modified.
EIf uprighting through mesial tipping of the root is desired, the arch length must be fixed. This can be achieved by ligating a
stainless steel ligature wire from the TAD to the molar hook, or by annealing and cinching the end of the NiTi-segment.

ETo prevent buccal flaring of the molars as a side effect, install a transpalatal arch. It should have sufficient clearance to the
palate to not interfere with the intrusion.

EThis is the only intrusion approach that can truly prevent incisor flaring.
ECinch utility arch back to prevent incisor flaring.
EOften times root proximity exists at this site in the mandible so that the indirect approach should be chosen.
EIntruding incisors using this method will result in flaring of incisors.

CASE
14 temporary implants
To temporarily restore missing teeth in adolescents post orthodontic
treatment prior to skeletal maturation and permanent restorations.
Benefits of Using TADS
14 temporary implants
Loading instructions for pontics
Indication
CASE
As permanent restorative implants may not be placed until completion of
growth, placement of TADs with pontics allow for:
•
Esthetic temporary restoration prior to complete bone development and Maturation
•
No need for Maryland Bridges bonded to teeth, or removable
flipper retainers with pontic teeth on them that cannot be worn
while eating, and break easily.
Steps for TAD Implementation
· Ensure there is no mobility with the TAD.
· If primary stability is achieved, test fit the premade pontic directly on the TAD.
(Pontic should be pre-formed custom to the patient and hollowed or with a window to the palatal side for placement on TAD)
· Once test fit is complete, fill the pontic with resin or acrylic material and place on the TAD.
(It may be necessary to add additional resin material to the palatal side of the restoration for stability, below the line of occlusion.)
· Remove excess flash material and finish restoration in place.
· Bond a fixed lingual retainer to adjacent teeth but do not bond to the pontics.

Preparation
 Complete all active tooth movement in the location of the missing tooth. Preparation should be identical to the set-up for traditional endosseus permanent restorative implants.
TAD Placement
 TADs should be placed on the center of the ridge palatal enough to ensure full bone contact and seated to the soft tissue collar.
No less than the 10 mm tomas® pin should be used.

through the front of the restoration.
Place a bonded lingual retainer on adjacent teeth to the temporary restorations and lay it against the pontics. This allows for support of the temporary restorations without fixing the adjacent teeth to the TADs, restricting their eruption.
