<p>A bone anchor used in three distinct applications; as an orthodontic anchor system, as a prothetic anchor system and as an orthopedic anchor system. As an orthodontic anchor system it is used for treatment of growth disharmony and malalignment of teeth in which one element is surgically placed in a subperiosteal tunnel on or into a shallow depression in the skeletal bone, allowing biointegration between the onplant bone interface (30) and the bone. After which a palatal bar (24) is attached to the orthodontic anchor system (20), and the palatal bar (24) is also attached to bands (25) around two teeth, holding them non-mobile, permitting the orthodontist to treat the malalignment of the teeth, or another attachment system is placed to anchor bones for guided bone movements or prosthetic anchorage.</p> |
