Abstract

The use of onplant-supported orthodontic anchorage is still in its early stages. The concepts presented in this article have tried to stress the importance of anchorage control in orthodontic cases, some problems associated with traditional means to augment orthodontic anchorage, the rationale for developing a skeletal anchorage unit based on endosseous implant technology, and the effectiveness of the onplant as an anchorage unit. Cephalometric superimpositions are most likely the best method to determine the effectiveness of the onplant's contribution to anchorage control and have been included here to that end. Further research into its effectiveness may broaden the use of onplants in future orthodontic cases.
