An evaluation of changes in mandibular anterior alignment from 10 to 20 years postretentionPublicado por: American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics
Pretreatment, end of treatment, IO-year postretention, and 20-year postretention records of 31 four premolar extraction cases were assessed to evaluate stability and relapse of mandibular anterior alignment. Crowding continued to increase during the lo- to 20-year postretention phase but to a lesser degree than from the end of retention to 10 years postretention. Only 10% of the cases were judged to have clinically acceptable mandibular alignment at the last stage of diagnostic records. Cases responded in a diverse unpredictable manner with no apparent predictors of future success when considering pretreatment records or the treated results. postretention, robert m little, premolar extraction, evaluation of changes, mandibular anterior alignment |

The key to facial beauty and optimal patient health - two part seriesPublicado por: Australasian Dental Practice We require five patterns to optimise healthy growth of the jaws and face which include the lips together at rest; teeth in or near contact; the tongue resting in the roof of the mouth; breathing through the nose; and no muscle movement around the mouth on the subconscious swallow. Research shows that much of the orthodontic treatment used to correct the position of the teeth will further lengthen the face. It is also known that lengthening the face will produce a less attractive face. Author: Dr John Flutter, BDS john flutter, subconscious swallow, facial beauty, optimal patient health |

Combining Functional and Fixed Appliances to Improve Results in Open Bite TreatmentPublicado por: The American Association for Functional Orthodontics Open bite is one of the most challenging malocclusions and its treatment must aim to improve occlusion and muscular function in the masticatory system, producing a satisfactory and stable result. This clinical report presents a patient with an open bite in mixed dentition associated with a Class II, division 1 malocclusion and a posterior unilateral crossbite. By combining functional and fixed appliances, the open bite was closed, a good occlusion was reinstated and muscular activity was improved in a simpler way.

The Mandibular Condylar Cartilage: a ReviewPublicado por: International Journal of Jaw Functional Orthopedics (2004) The condylar cartilage is the most important growing site in the mandible. This does not deny that other areas play an important role in mandibular growth, and influence the amount and direction of that growth. However, the condylar cartilage is responsible for the final length of the mandible. The purpose of this paper is to review the actual knowledge about the physiology of the mandibular condylar cartilage and how this cartilage responds to extrinsic and intrinsic stimulus.

Dental Arches Expansion With Ortho-SystemPublicado por: Dental Asia (March/April 2006) Maxillary and mandibular expansion has been proposed to increase the arch perimeter and to avoid extractions during orthodontic treatment. This paper describes a novel method to produce expansion of the dental arches, and at the same time, to treat muscular dysfunctions which may be the etiological factor of the malocclusion. Two cases treated with the Ortho-System are described and the advantage of this method of treatment is discussed. Authors: Dr German O.

Dimensional Changes in Dental Arches After Treatment with a Prefabricated Functional AppliancePublicado por: The Journal of Pediatric Dentistry The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the T4K, a prefabricated functional appliance, on the transverse and anterior-height dimensions of the maxillary and mandibular dental arches. Dimensions before and after treatment were measured on the sample, then, natural growth was subtracted from the treatment effects and compared with twice the error of the method. A clinically significant increase of both dimensions was observed in the maxilla and mandible when Class II malocclusion patients were treated with the T4K. Therefore, this retrospective study demonstrates that T4K is a valid treatment choice at an early age when transverse expansion is part of the treatment goal.

Insights Into Orthodontic TreatmentPublicado por: Dental Asia (July/August 2006) Almost a century was necessary to find some new alternatives for orthodontic treatment. Since the introduction of brackets, the most significant change in orthodontic industry has been moving from weld brackets to resin bonded brackets and some improvements in wires features. However, the philosophy of treatment did not change as the only purpose of treatment was to move teeth and to expect that the whole oral system might adapt to the performed changes.
