Book Physiologic Anchorage Control

Download or read book Physiologic Anchorage Control written by Tian Min Xu and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to physiologic anchorage control, explains the implications for clinical practice, and presents an anchorage technique applicable for the treatment of different malocclusions. The concept of physiologic anchorage control is derived from observations of upper molar movement during growth in adolescence, including in the absence of orthodontic treatment, which indicate that molar forward displacement comprises two components: the first due to biologic force or physiologic anchorage loss and the second due to orthodontic force or mechanical anchorage loss. All previous anchorage methods have been based on the assumption that molar anchorage loss is to be attributed solely to the mechanical force used to retract anterior teeth, and the new concept represents a paradigm shift of clinical significance. This book explores the pattern of upper molar growth in depth, highlights the physiologic significance of the curve of Spee, and analyzes the biomechanics of physiologic anchorage control. An anchorage control system that fully takes into account the latest conceptual insights is described and its clinical use and utility, examined.

Book The Stability of the Curve of Spee and the Overbite After Orthodontic Treatment

Download or read book The Stability of the Curve of Spee and the Overbite After Orthodontic Treatment written by Johannes Hattingh and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of orthodontic treatment is to provide the patient with a good static and functional occlusion. During research that was conducted to complete a seminar on the static and functional aspects of occlusion, the author discovered that there might be a discrepancy between the goals of an ideal static occlusion, and the goals of an ideal functional occlusion. An ideal static occlusion seemed to require a flat mandibular plane and a minimal amount of overbite after active orthodontic treatment, whereas an ideal functional occlusion required a curved mandibular plane and an overbite of 4 mm to prevent cusp interferences during functional mandibular movements. The rationale behind the excessively flat mandibular plane and minimal overbite after orthodontic treatment is to compensate for the tendency of the bite to deepen during the period following orthodontic treatment. This tendency to relapse causes uncertainty about the stability of orthodontic treatment. Little research has been dedicated to examining the long-term stability of the leveled curve of Spee. In addition, there seems to be a considerable amount of controversy surrounding the long-term stability of overbite correction after orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of the curve of Spee and the overbite following orthodontic treatment. In addition, the relationship between the curve of Spee and the presence of anterior guidance after a period of orthodontic retention, was examined. The relationship between the overbite and the presence of anterior guidance was also examined, and the results were used to predict an ideal value for the overbite to avoid possible dental cusp interferences. Standardized digital photographs of the dental casts of 40 subjects were taken at three different stages: before treatment (T1), after orthodontic treatment (T2), and three years (mean) post-treatment. Accurate electronic measurement of the curve of Spee, using computer software, was completed for all three stages. The overbite was measured with a dial caliper. Clinical evaluation of the functional occlusion, with special reference to anterior guidance, was performed on all the subjects. Statistical analysis was carried out in search of statistical significant changes between the various stages, and possible correlations between the different variables. The results indicated that the leveling of the curve of Spee is a stable treatment procedure. The overbite was less stable than the curve of Spee, and nearly half the amount of overbite correction obtained during treatment, relapsed in the three years (mean) post-treatment. No relationship was found between the curve of Spee and the presence of anterior guidance at T3. A highly significant relationship was found between the overbite and the presence of anterior guidance. Subjects with a small overbite seemed to be predisposed to posterior interferences during mandibular protrusion. An overbite of not less than 3mm was found to be a desirable feature after orthodontic retention in order to reduce potentially interfering contacts. More research is necessary to clarify the relationship between dental interferences and temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

Book Orthodontic Diagnosis

Download or read book Orthodontic Diagnosis written by Thomas Rakosi and published by Thieme. This book was released on 1993 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illustrated guide for the complex process of orthodontic diagnostics and indication. The total process of treatment planning including the scientific bases is pictorially described. Beside the conventional methods of examination and model analysis, emphasis is placed on the cranio-facial growth processes, the aetiology of malocclusions and on the importance of functional analysis. The following three aspects are described in detail in this book: Growth of the Facial Skeleton - types of treatment which promote or guide growth. In order to control these natural processes artificially, a precise understanding of them is required. Aetiology of the Malocclusion - the various types of causative therapy and the elimination of the causes. Functional Analysis - many malocclusions are a result of dysfunctions. As a variety of methods are available for treating dysfunctions, functional analysis is taken very seriously.
