A long-term study of transverse stability of maxillary teeth in patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate

summary The aim of this study was to investigate the long term post-treatment transverse stability of the maxillary dental arch in subjects with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP) treated by the Harvold/Bøhn method of orthodontic expansion and prosthodontic retention. The treatment of 22 consecutive patients, primarily operated on during the period 1957–60, was completed at a mean age of 18.1 years by the provision of a fixed partial retention prosthesis across the cleft using the cleft side central incisor and canine only as abutment teeth. The cleft side lateral incisor was missing in each case. Dental casts were made at the time of abutment preparation and at six subsequent times with the final observation 13·5 years after treatment completion. Measurements of any shift in the transverse position of cleft side and non-cleft side canines, premolars and first molars were made on standardized photographs of the casts. A constructed antero-posterior palatal line served as 'midline' reference. A mean reduction of width at the final observation, as recorded from the palatal surface to the reference line, was for the cleft side canine: −0·4 mm, the premolar immediately distal to the prosthesis and the first molar: both −1·2 mm. The corresponding mean width reductions on the noncleft side were: canine −0·9 mm, premolar −1·2 mm, first molar −1·6 mm. The rate of movement towards the midline decreased linearly with in(time) for all variables (P < 0·02) but for the cleft side canine.

Stability of transverse expansion in the mandibular arch.

This was a retrospective, longitudinal cephalometric and cast study of 29 white patients at pretreatment, posttreatment, and an average of 6 years 3 months postretention. The goal was to assess changes with treatment and retention with the expanding mandibular lingual arch appliance in conjunction with fixed edgewise treatment. Seven mandibular cast measurements were assessed, including arch crowding, arch perimeter, arch length, and arch width at the permanent canines, first premolars, second premolars, and first molars. Cephalometric radiographs were digitized, and 16 cephalometric measurements were made. Repeated-measures analysis of variance and 2-sample t tests were used to determine statistically significant changes. It was found that the expanding lingual arch used for less than 6 months with the mandibular fixed edgewise appliance caused an increase in both the transverse and sagittal dimensions of the mandibular dental arch. Transverse expansion was more stable in the posterior region of the mandibular dental arch than in the anterior region. Mandibular intercanine width increase could be maintained only by fixed retention. Although the maxillary and mandibular incisors were advanced and proclined, lip protrusion did not occur.

Efficient palatal expansion with a quadhelix appliance: an in vitro study using an experimental dental arch model

This study used an experimental dental arch model to examine the orthodontic forces generated by a quadhelix appliance in terms of parallel expansion, fan expansion, or a combination of the two. Strain gauges were attached to experimental brass rods that represented the teeth arranged in the shape of an average dental arch to detect forces in the buccal, lingual, mesial, and distal directions. Orthodontic forces generated by different types of activation were compared by Scheffe's multiple test. The largest orthodontic force generated during parallel expansion was observed at the first molar in the buccal direction. When fan expansion was applied, significant orthodontic force was observed at the canine in the mesial and labial directions, whereas force in the mesial and lingual directions was noted at the first molar. When a combination of 3 mm parallel and 5 mm fan expansion was used, the forces generated at the canine and first and second premolar, and first molar were nearly equivalent. Depending on the type of malocclusion, the most appropriate expansion technique may be parallel or fan expansion or a combination of the two. When expanding the entire dental arch simultaneously, a combination of 3 mm parallel and 5 mm fan expansion may be the most suitable.     

Long-term skeletal and dental effects of mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis using a tooth-borne expansion device. The sample included 20 Hispanic nonsyndromic patients (11 males and 9 females) between 13.5 years and 37.3 years of age. Predistraction (1.5 months before surgery), postdistraction (1 month after surgery), and long-term follow-up (1.3 year after surgery) records included posteroanterior, lateral, and panoramic radiographs and models. Postdistraction radiographic evaluation showed that symphyseal distraction osteogenesis produced insignificant increases in the bicondylar, bigonion, and biantegonion widths; intermolar and, especially, intercanine widths increased significantly and a distraction gap was observed in the symphyseal region. Follow-up model analysis showed the largest width increases between the first molars and second premolars and the smallest width increases between canines and first premolars. The difference between the postdistraction and long-term follow-up width changes was explained by the postdistraction orthodontic effect, which modified the shape of the dental arch. A disproportionate pattern of distraction, characterized by significantly greater dental than skeletal widening, was observed in the second molar and antegonion region. Distraction osteogenesis without presurgical orthodontic treatment produced significant proclination of the mandibular incisors; no proclination was observed in cases with predistraction orthodontic treatment. Dental crowding was resolved by the movement of teeth into the distraction regenerate and concomitant orthodontic treatment. Follow-up radiographs showed transverse skeletal stability of the distraction procedure. We conclude that mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis increased mandibular arch width and partially corrected dental crowding, with a potential for disproportionate distraction patterns and proclination of the mandibular incisors.     

主动、被动自锁托槽对牙弓宽度变化的对比研究

Posttreatment and postretention changes following orthodontic therapy.

This investigation was performed to determine the changes which occurred in treated orthodontic cases out of retention. The material consisted of 103 cases, of which 74 cases were treated nonextraction and 29 were treated with the extraction of four first premolars. The treatment was accomplished by the full-banded edgewise bioprogressive technique. Five measurements were taken: intercanine, inter-first premolar, intersecond premolar and inter-first molar widths, and incisor to molar distance. The measurements were made on the mandibular arch of the pretreatment, posttreatment, and prostretention casts. The postretention model was obtained a minimum of one year after all retaining devices were removed with an average of 5.2 years. The following conclusions were drawn from the changes in dimensions: 1. The intercanine width was expanded during treatment, but had a strong tendency to return to or close to its original pretreatment width in both nonextraction and extraction cases. 2. The inter-first premolar width showed the greatest treatment increase in width with only a minimal amount of postretention decrease. 3. The second premolar width for nonextraction cases showed a significant amount of increase with a slight tendency for postretention decrease. 4. The second premolar width for extraction cases showed a decrease with treatment and a slight continued decrease postretention. 5. The intermolar width of nonextraction cases showed a significant increase in width with treatment. The extraction cases showed a significant decrease with treatment. However, there were no changes in either extraction or nonextraction cases postretention. 6. The incisor to molar distance decreased with treatment and had a slight tendency to continue to decrease postretention.     

Palatally displaced upper lateral incisors: relapse after orthodontic treatment and its correlation with dentoskeletal morphology

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether the relapse tendency of the palatally positioned upper lateral incisor differs in patients treated with or without premolar extraction, and if there is any correlation between the amount of upper lateral incisor relapse and pretreatment dentoskeletal morphology or post-treatment changes. Forty-six patients with bilateral palatally displaced upper laterals who also exhibit maxillary dental constriction were separated into two groups: a premolar extraction (30 cases) group and a non-extraction (16 cases) group. All subjects had undergone orthodontic treatment with quad helix and edgewise appliances, followed by a 2-year retention period. Differences in the amount of the upper lateral incisor relapse and their correlations with the dentoskeletal morphology before and after treatment were determined on the lateral and postero-anterior cephalograms and dental casts. Results revealed that the upper lateral incisor relapse in the extraction group was significantly greater (p=0.0002) than the relapse in the non-extraction group. There was a positive correlation between incisor relapse and the distance of lateral incisor movement in both groups (r=0.539; p=0.030). Relapse in the non-extraction group was correlated with the widths of the upper dental arch (r相似文献   

Evaluation of dental arch width and form changes after orthodontic treatment and retention with a new computerized method.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate longitudinal arch width and form changes and to define arch form types with a new computerized method. Maxillary and mandibular models of 21 Class II Division 1 patients were examined before treatment (T(0)), after treatment (T(1)), and an average of 3 years after retention (T(2)). Arch width measurements were made directly on scanned images of maxillary and mandibular models. Arch form changes at T(0)-T(1) and T(1)-T(2) were evaluated by superimposing the computer-generated Bezier arch curves with a computer program. Types of dental arch forms were defined by superimposing them with the pentamorphic arch system, which included 5 different types of arch forms: normal, ovoid, tapered, narrow ovoid, and narrow tapered. Maxillary arch widths were increased during orthodontic treatment. Mandibular posterior arch widths were also increased. The expansion of the mandibular arch forms was less than in the maxillary arch forms. Arch width changes were generally stable, except for reduction in maxillary and mandibular interlateral, inter-first premolar, and mandibular intercanine widths. Pretreatment maxillary arch forms were mostly tapered; mandibular arch forms were tapered and narrow tapered. In maxillary arch forms, 76% of the treatment changes were maintained. Mandibular arch form was maintained in 67% of the sample, both during treatment and after retention. In mandibular arches, 71% of orthodontically induced arch form changes were maintained.     

First premolar extraction effects on upper airway dimension in bimaxillary proclination patients

Abstract Objective: To determine how orthodontic treatment with first premolar teeth extracted and the associated arch dimensional changes in bimaxillary proclination patients affect the upper airway dimensions. Materials and Methods: Pre- and postorthodontic treatment cephalograms and dental casts of 40 bimaxillary proclination patients (ages ranged between 18 and 23?years) were used for this study. Patients were all treated with extraction of the four first premolars. Cephalometric radiographs were used to measure airway dimensions, and dental casts were used to measure the changes in the arch dimensions. A paired t-test was used to detect differences at P < .05. Results: The results showed statistically significant reductions in tongue length (P < .05), posterior adenoids thickness (AD2-H) (P < .05), upper and lower incisor inclination, and lower incisor to A-Pog line (P < .001). Considering the dental cast results, statistically significant reductions in upper arch length, lower arch length, and lower intermolar width were also found (P < .001). The only statistically significant increase was recorded for the upper intercanine width (P < .001). Conclusions: Extraction of the first premolars for the treatment of bimaxillary proclination does not affect upper airway dimensions despite the significant reduction in tongue length and arch dimensions.     

Average arch widths and associated changes between initial, post-treatment and post-retention measurements

Computer image monitoring was used for evaluation of dental arch changes. A new special device captured geometrically calibrated images permitting comparison of several different dental casts. In the first part of this study 792 sets of study casts were screened. Measurements of dental arch width between reference points of canines, first premolars and first molars were made: upper jaw: men: canines: 35.1 +/- 0.13 mm; first premolars: 37.5 +/- 0.13 mm; first molars: 48.1 +/- 0.19 mm; women: canines: 33.4 +/- 0.13 mm; first premolars: 35.6 +/- 0.15 mm; first molars: 46.7 +/- 0.19 mm. In the second part of the study, changes between initial, post-treatment and post-retention alignment (5-years after orthodontic therapy) of upper and lower dental arch of 36 subjects were analyzed. Upper and lower arch compression in first premolars and molars area was visible before treatment. We conclude that computer image monitoring can be used for evaluation of dental arch changes during the different steps of treatment.     

Changes in occlusion and maxillary dental arch dimensions in adults with treated unilateral complete cleft lip and palate: a follow-up study

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the occlusion and maxillary dental arch dimensions in adults with repaired complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and to investigate the patterns of change in early adulthood. Study models from 39 patients (25 men, 14 women; mean age 24.7 years, range 20.2-29.3 years) with a diagnosis of complete UCLP taken at a follow-up examination were analysed and compared with the study models taken at baseline examination (mean age 19.1 years, range 16.0-20.6 years). Lip closure was carried out according to the Millard technique and palatal closure according to the Wardill-Kilner technique. All patients had received orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. The patients were divided into three groups according to the type of retention in the upper arch: no retention (n = 15), retention with a bonded twisted retainer (n = 13), an onlay or fixed bridge (n = 11). Occlusion was evaluated according to a scoring system. The maxillary dental arch dimensions were measured with a video imaging system. There was a significant deterioration in the total occlusal score during the follow-up period and this was larger on the cleft than on the non-cleft side. There were no significant differences in the anterior scores. A comparison of the transversal and sagittal maxillary arch dimensions revealed significant differences in all measurements during the follow-up interval. The reduction was largest for the maxillary second premolar width, followed by the first molar width. The overjet differed significantly between the registrations. The occlusal score and the maxillary arch dimensions were reduced in all of the three subgroups, but there were no differences between the groups.     

The use of temporary anchorage devices for orthodontic treatment of high-angle Class III malocclusion in a patient with impacted upper canine teeth

This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of a 13-year-old female patient with high-angle Class III malocclusion, including anterior open bite and impacted upper canine teeth with a convex soft tissue profile. In this case, preadjusted edgewise appliances were placed after the extraction of the upper deciduous canine teeth, impacted upper canine teeth and lower first premolars. The upper and lower dental arches were aligned using a temporary anchorage device (TAD) for retraction and intrusion of the lower incisors avoiding the extrusion of the lower molars. A good facial profile and occlusion were achieved after active treatment.

Transverse adjustment of preformed stainless steel archwires to the dental arch form

Purpose

Stable orthodontic treatment results require the preservation of the pretreatment mandibular dental arch form. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the amount of transverse adjustment of preformed stainless steel archwires require to fit the dental arch form.

Treatment of maxillary canine transposition

Transposition of maxillary teeth is an eruptive disturbance occurring in approximately 1 of every 300 orthodontic patients. Such cases are frequently very challenging in terms of treatment planning and orthodontic management. The canine is one of the most commonly transposed teeth, ectopically positioned with either the lateral incisor or the first premolar. This case report illustrates unique orthodontic treatment, describes treatment procedures, and presents the final outcome of bilateral maxillary canine-lateral incisor complete transpositions in which the involved teeth were moved to their clinically normal position in the dental arch without extracting premolars.
