The Zygoma Anchorage System.

clusions often requires intrusion and retraction of the anterior segment, which, in turn, usually necessitate mechanical reinforcement of posterior anchorage.1 Intraoral devices such as transpalatal bars or Nance appliances2 can reduce the need to wear Class II elastics, but can cause mesial movement of the lower first molars and protrusion of the incisors. Additional extraoral anchorage in the...

Spider Screw: skeletal anchorage system.

The stability of the anchorage unit plays a very important role in orthodontic control. Controlled orthodontic movements such as retraction and/or protraction of teeth and intrusion of overerupted teeth are very difficult to achieve without patient cooperation and without causing undesirable reciprocal movement in the anchorage unit. The article describes characteristics, surgical procedure, an...

dontic tooth movement and orthopedic jaw movement?” With this question in 1983, Creekmore and Eklund were the first orthodontists to suggest in print that a small metal screw could withstand a constant force of sufficient magnitude and duration to reposition an entire anterior maxillary dentition without becoming loose, painful, infected, or pathologic.1 Their case opened an entirely new area f...

GRANIT:non-destructive Anchorage Testing and Monitoring System

GRANIT is the world’s first rapid, effective, multiple capability, non-destructive anchor integrity testing system for rockbolts for mining, tunnelling and other civil engineering ground anchorage systems. This new technology incorporates the latest in artificial intelligence, signal processing and engineering design [1]. GRANIT provides a major contribution to the safety of anchorage re-enforc...
