Special features

The ingenious O-Ball head
of the Unitek TAD makes the
system universally adaptable;
it serves as one component
in a ball and socket joint. The
Unitek TAD O-Cap is a stainless steel cap with an internal
Unitek TAD O-Ring that locks in
place around the O-Ball.

Designed by world-renowned
Professor Birte Melson, the
Aarhus System is the result
of 20 years of research in
skeletal anchorage.

Comfort Solutions now offers a
Comfort Cap designed specifically for orthodontic mini-screws.
These caps are sized to fit the
QUATTRO mini-screw available
from PSM-North America and
DENTSPLY Raintree Essix. Compatible with many other similarly
shaped miniscrew head designs.

Dentaurum supports the
tomas system with TAD
specific education. Our
next educational event,
The Dentaurum 10-Year
Anniversary tomas TAD
Conference, is scheduled for
November 6 and 7, 2015, in
Boca Raton, Fla.
