Abstract
A new device has been designed to provide anchorage for orthodontic tooth movement. It is a disk, textured and hydroxylapatite coated on one side, with an internal thread on the other side. It is placed on palatal bone and, after integration, can be connected to teeth for anchorage. This article reviews a dog study demonstrating unilateral tooth movement towards the "onplant" and a monkey study mimicking its use to anchor the molars for anterior retraction.Entities:
