The new tomas^®-RPE eyelet for hybrid RPE and MARPE

Released: 27.02.2023

The tomas^® system is one of the leading skeletal anchorage systems worldwide. Users value its easy, clearly structured handling and reliability. The new tomas^®-RPE eyelet gives you the freedom to produce skeletally anchored RPE appliances using the Pin-First^© or Pin-Last^© concept.

In the case of skeletally anchored RPE appliances, the pins can be placed first before the RPE appliance is fabricated and fitted (Pin-First^© concept). If this is difficult, the procedure can be carried out in the opposite order (Pin-Last^© concept): first, the position of the tomas^®-pin EP (elastic palatal) is planned, the appliance fabricated and fitted. Then the tomas^®-pin EP are inserted using the tomas^®-RPE eyelet for guidance. An additional insertion template is not required. Thanks to the circumferential groove, the legs of the hyrax^® expansion screw can be welded stably in the exact required position. The appliance can be used for MARPE (Mini Screw Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion) and for hybrid palatal expansion.
