Cortical Anchorage Course: Miniscrews & Anchorage in Modern Orthodontics

Aims of the course
Anchorage: The enemy or friend that we have to deal with every day during our clinical practice.
To recognise the need for anchorage and to know how to obtain and maintain it during treatment are the key points that lead to orthodontic success. For years, orthodontists have applied complex systems and various appliances for anchorage, sometimes only succeeding in part.

The absence of multiple teeth or bone loss can sometimes make orthodontic treatment extremely complex, if not impossible. The introduction of Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) has revolutionized the orthodontic world, simplifying otherwise complex treatments and making impossible treatments possible.

Like other innovative procedures, the application of TADs can be initially rejected by the clinician, who may consider it complex and unnecessary. The course is intended to illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of TADs, their features and benefits, simple clinical procedures, as well as the possible risks and complications. Our goal will be to increase the knowledge and confidence of the clinical application of TADs, through the analysis of different clinical situations, as well as by applying TADs on blocks of synthetic bone.
