The "TAD - Friend or Foe" workshop aims to explore the multifaceted role of Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) in modern orthodontics. TADs have become an integral tool for enhancing treatment precision and predictability, offering orthodontists opportunities to more effectively manage complex tooth movements. However, their use is not without challenges; complications, such as tissue inflammation and implant failure, require careful consideration and strategic planning. This hands-on workshop will provide participants with an interactive platform to understand TAD applications, troubleshoot common problems, and refine their techniques in a clinical setting. Through a combination of expert presentations, case studies, and interactive exercises, attendees will learn about the indications for TAD use, the biomechanical implications of their application, and strategies for overcoming complications. By the end of this workshop, participants will have a clearer understanding of how to harness the benefits of TADs while being prepared to mitigate their associated risks.

Items that participants must bring: 

• Tweed Plier

• Torquing Plier

• Mosquito

• Weingart

• Ligature Cutter

• Distal end Cutter

This workshop focuses on the use of Forsus appliances in orthodontic practice as a method for managing Class II malocclusions and correcting associated overbite issues. The Forsus system provides a means of continuous force application that aids in molar advancement and aligning the occlusion while addressing skeletal and dental discrepancies. Through this hands-on workshop, participants will explore the indications and contraindications for using Forsus, understand the clinical protocols for installation and management, and learn to identify and troubleshoot common complications associated with its use. Emphasis will also be placed on patient management strategies to enhance compliance and treatment outcomes. Attendees will leave equipped with practical skills and knowledge to effectively integrate Forsus appliances into their orthodontic treatments.

Items that participants must bring:

• Weingart Plier
