Abstract
A new device has been designed to provide anchorage for orthodontic to oth movement. It is a disk, textured and hydroxylapatite coated on one side, with an internal thread on the other side. It is placed on pala tal bone and, after integration, can be connected to teeth for anchora ge. This article reviews a dog study demonstrating unilateral tooth mo vement towards the ''onplant'' and a monkey study mimicking its use to anchor the molars for anterior retraction.
