Modified Surgical Stent for Accurate TAD Placement
The Journal of Clinical Pediatric Dentistry
|August 8, 2018
Summary
Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) improve orthodontic anchorage. A modified surgical stent increases TAD insertion accuracy and success rates, reducing miniscrew failure caused by root proximity.
Area of Science:
- Orthodontics
- Dental Implantology
- Biomaterials Engineering
Background:
- Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are crucial for modern orthodontics, enabling anchorage where previously impossible.
- Miniscrew failure is often linked to inadequate spacing between the screw and tooth roots.
- Optimizing TAD placement is essential for predictable treatment outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy of a modified surgical stent in improving TAD insertion accuracy.
- To assess the impact of the modified stent on TAD success rates.
- To investigate methods for reducing miniscrew failure in orthodontic treatments.
Main Methods:
- Development and application of a modified surgical stent for TAD placement.
- Comparative analysis of insertion accuracy with and without the modified stent.
- Evaluation of TAD success rates based on clinical outcomes and failure analysis.
Main Results:
- The modified surgical stent significantly enhanced the accuracy of TAD insertion.
- A notable increase in TAD success rates was observed when using the modified stent.
- The modified stent demonstrated a potential to mitigate miniscrew failures attributed to root proximity.
Conclusions:
- Modified surgical stents represent a valuable advancement in TAD placement techniques.
- Utilizing this modified stent can lead to improved clinical predictability and reduced failure rates in orthodontic anchorage.
- Further research should explore long-term outcomes and broader applications of this technology.

A standard box and whisker plot informs us about the spread of the data in a given sample. One can identify the minimum value, maximum value, first quartile value, second quartile or median value, and third quartile.
However, the box plot does not tell the reader about outliers - values that lie far from the center of the data. We can modify the standard box and whisker plot to identify the outliers and visualize the actual spread of the data in a sample.
Initially, we calculate the adjusted...

Preoperative ManagementThe primary goals of preoperative management in kidney transplantation are to optimize the patient’s metabolic state and prepare them for surgery through diet adjustments, necessary dialysis, and tailored medical treatment. This phase also involves comprehensive infection screening and patient education about the surgical procedure and postoperative care to improve outcomes and adherence.Medical ManagementA comprehensive evaluation is required for both the living...

Surgical interventions for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, are essential in managing symptoms and addressing complications. The selection of surgical procedures is contingent upon the specific conditions and complications that stem from these illnesses.

Procedures for Kidney StonesMedical intervention is necessary when kidney stones or renal calculi are too large to pass spontaneously (typically greater than 5 millimeters) when stones are accompanied by symptomatic infection (such as fever or pyelonephritis), when they impair kidney function, or when they cause persistent symptoms like severe pain, nausea, or urinary retention. Additionally, patients with only one kidney or those who cannot be treated with medical management also require...
