Objectives: It was recently found that when cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used to examine temporary anchorage device (TAD)-tooth root contact, it tends to yield high false-positive (FP) diagnoses.

Methods: 18 fresh pig cadaver mandibles underwent TAD placement bilaterally at first molar lingual furcation regions.
