For the first time in Orthodontics, Temporary Anchorage Devices

(TADs) offer a single point of force in Orthodontic treatment. For those

clinicians who understand its placement and mechanical use, a TAD

can allow tooth movements that until now were thought impossible.

The Unitek™ Temporary Anchorage Device (TAD) System is

extremely easy to understand, simple to inventory and easy to use.

The placement protocol is simple: no injections, no incision and

usually no pilot hole.

Immediate loading (within 24 hours)

Sold individually in sterile glass vials

Simple procedure; no incision and

usually no pilot hole

Biocompatible Titanium Alloy

Only topical anesthesia required in

most cases

Comfortable rounded cap is designed to prevent

gingival overgrowth.

Retentive groove around the circumference of the

Unitek TAD O-Cap allows for auxiliary attachment

options such as wire and power chain.

The Unitek TAD O-Cap is made of stainless steel,

which allows various attachments to be soldered,

making it even more versatile.

Unitek™ TAD O-Cap Unique Benefits

NOTE:

Due to the snug fit, once the Unitek TAD O-Cap is placed

directly over the O-Ball head, there is no longer room for

ligation over the Grooved Neck.

O-Ball Key Benefits

Contoured retentive mechanism was

designed for patient comfort

Incorporates two intersecting .076 mm

(.030”) holes in the O-Ball for multiple

engagement options such as power

chain, coil springs, ligature wire, or

auxiliary wires.

Versatility of the O-Ball reduces inventory

requirements

Designed for stability during implant

placement.

Insertion instruments are placed on the

square body core of the implant. This is

the strongest part of the implant.

The square base is no wider in diameter

than the implant body and will not impinge

the surrounding tissue.

1.8 mm diameter designed for strength

Designed with a 45 degree lead-in

angle and 90 degree trailing angle, this

thread form assists in the insertion and

retention of the implant

Thread Forming design: compresses

the bone around the screw instead of

cutting the bone.

Drill-Free design: conical apex tapered to

a point for advancement and strength;

eliminates need for a pilot hole.

Self Tapping Design: implant threads

create their own internal bony thread

tracks upon advancement.

Threaded Implant Body

Smooth implant surface: no surface

coating and no etched surface helps to

prevent osseointegration.

Thread Cutting TADs cut the bone

instead of compressing the bone around

the screw during advancement. Cutting

the bone increases microdamage and

reduces the bone’s initial ability to assist

in retaining the implant.

Thread Forming TADs laterally

compress the bone around the screw

instead of cutting the bone and

scraping it away during advancement.

Compressed bone requires less initial

healing and can assist with TAD

retention. The Unitek™ Temporary

Anchorage Device (TAD) System is

thread forming.
