Unitek ™ Temporary Anchorage Device System Versatile. Fixed. Anchorage.
Unitek Temporary Anchorage Device System
Versatile.Fixed.Anchorage.
The Unitek Temporary Anchorage Device (TAD) System has multifaceted
uses ranging from traditional needs of anchorage for space closure to skeletal
malocclusions of patients unable or unwilling to undergo surgical treatment.
The uniqueness of this system is its simplicity: a one head design, with one size
diameter and three different lengths. This system does not require injections,
incision, flaps or a pilot hole. The system is designed to be innovative yet easy
to use. It allows you to be self-sufficient and empowers you to be creative,
to efficiently deliver the results you require and your patients expect.
Versatile
Reliable
Easy to Use
Description Immediate loading
Topical anesthetic only in most cases
No incision or flap necessary
Drill-free, requiring no pilot hole
Indicated for use in Orthodontic applications
1.8 mm miniscrew implant (MSI) made from Grade 23 Titanium alloy (stronger than CP Titanium)
Stainless steel Unitek TAD O-Cap features retentive groove and 0.076 mm (0.030 in) holes for attachment
Note: The threaded body is self-drilling
and self-tapping (thread-forming), thereby
eliminating the necessity of placing a pilot
hole. It is not, however, thread-cutting
because it does not have a cutting flute at
the apex that cuts or taps the bone during
placement. In lieu of a thread-cutting flute,
the apical 4 mm is tapered from 0.3 mm to
the full 1.8 mm so that bone is compressed
in and around the screw threads during
advancement instead of cutting and removing
bone common with self-tapping screws.
