This book was released on 2024 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The specialty of orthodontics aims to optimize patients' skeletal and dental relationships, creating a harmonious orofacial complex and improving facial aesthetics and occlusal function. One common orthodontic problem is transverse maxillary constriction. Clinically, a transverse deficiency in the upper jaw presents as a narrow palate, dental crowding, crossbite, or a combination of these findings. If this orthodontic problem is diagnosed during the primary or mixed dentition years, it can be readily corrected with rapid palatal expansion. However, adult patients may also present with transverse maxillary constriction, which at this stage of skeletal maturation, requires more invasive treatment. Two treatment options that can address transverse deficiency in non-growing patients are surgically-assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) and microimplant-assisted-rapid-palatal Expansion (MARPE). The MARPE technique involves the use of a maxillary skeletal expander (MSE) appliance anchored to the maxilla with mini-screws, applying expansile forces directly to the skeleton, rather than distributing them across the palate and dentition. Symmetric mid-palatal sutural separation is the anticipated therapeutic effect; however, midfacial changes may occur at other circummaxillary sutures. MARPE treatment outcomes must be evaluated clinically and radiographically. CBCT is the radiographic imaging modality of choice for patients treated with MARPE because of the effects that occur in all three planes of space. Mid-palatal suture measurements, and an abundance of additional information, can be obtained from 3D imaging analysis. The current evidence base surrounding clinical considerations of MSE placement for MARPE therapy is limited. The primary goal of this study was to assess if the skeletal position of MSE mini-screw/temporary anchorage device (TAD) placement influences the magnitude of mid-palatal suture separation and/or is associated with asymmetric skeletal changes during MARPE therapy, using CBCT imaging. We hypothesized that significant differences in mini-screw angulation relative to the palatal plane and the anteroposterior position of the MSE appliance in the hard palate may be associated with asymmetric mid-palatal suture separation. Subjects were grouped based on magnitude of asymmetric separation at the mid-palatal suture. Circummaxillary suture separation symmetry was compared between groups, along with anteroposterior positioning of the appliance, and mini-screw angulation. Our data analyses showed that the only statistically significant correlation for right and left suture separation occurred at the medial pterygoid plate suture in subjects with symmetric mid-palatal suture separation. Analysis of MSE placement and mini-screw angulation in all subjects revealed that the anteroposterior position of the mini-screws is associated with asymmetric expansion, while TAD angulation was not significant. Our findings provide guidance for clinicians' placement of the MSE appliance in the hard palate. Careful planning and execution of MARPE therapy is likely to lead to improved predictability of mid-palatal suture separation and subsequent changes to other circummaxillary structures.

This book was released on 1999-11-01 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palatal expansion used to correct maxillomandibular transverse discrepancies occurs through a combination of skeletal (orthopedic) expansion, which involves separating the maxilla at the midpalatal suture, and dental (orthodontic) expansion, which results from buccal tipping of the maxillary posterior teeth. The proportion of skeletal and dental movement is dependent on the rate of expansion (rapid or slow) and the age of the patient during treatment. A The goal of palatal expansion is to maximize the skeletal movement and to minimize the dental movement, while allowing for physiological adjustment of the suture during separation.

Download or read book Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics written by James A. McNamara and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The initial eight chapters provide a synthesis of the wide variety of treatments currently available for malocclusions in the sagittal, transverse, and vertical dimensions. The subsequent chapters describe the details of clinical management of fixed appliance therapy (e.g., bracket placement and design - including self-ligating brackets, orthodontic bonding, archwire sequencing, transpalatal arch and utility arch management). Dentofacial orthopedics, including rapid maxillary expansion and extraoral traction, as well as functional jaw orthopedics (Herbst, Twin Block, FR-2 of Fränkel, Bionator) and molar distalizing appliances (Pendulum, Distal Jet, Wilson distalizing arch) then are considered. The management of Class III malocclusion with the orthopedic facial mask, the chin cup and the FR-3 of Fränkel also are discussed in detail. The book also includes two extensive chapters on interdisciplinary treatment written by Vincent G. Kokich, as well as chapters on finishing and retention protocols. The clinical and cephalometric evaluation of the orthodontic patient and the relationship of orthodontic treatment, occlusion, and temporomandibular disorders also are presented. In essence, this book represents an extensive continuing education experience for the practicing orthodontist.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: This analysis is part of an ongoing retrospective secondary pilot study on a randomized clinical trial. The purpose of this research project was to evaluate the effect of none-surgical maxillary expansion techniques on upper airway dimension and function, and skeletal and dental changes, using two different maxillary expanders: Moon and Dresden expanders. Methods: A sample of thirteen patients were randomly allocated to either group A or group B. Patients in group A (N=5) received orthodontic treatment using an appliance called Dresden expander. Patients in group B (N=8) received orthodontic treatment using the Moon expander. Two sets of records were taken for each patient; before starting treatment (T0) and after maxillary expansion completed (T1). Records consisted of the following: clinical charting and diagnostic exams, intra-oral and extraoral photos, cone beam computer tomography (CBCT), nasal obstruction symptom evaluation (NOSE) questionnaires, and peak nasal inspiratory flow (PNIF). The changes on the upper airway dimension and function were evaluated using CBCT scans (using Dolphin software), PNIF (objective measurement), and NOSE questionnaire (subjective measure). The skeletal and dental changes were evaluated using various skeletal and dental landmarks in CBCT using Avizo software. For upper airway changes and skeletal and dental changes, one-way repeated measure mixed ANOVA tests and paired sample t-tests were conducted. Results: For upper airway changes, from T0 to T1, no statistically significant differences were found between the Moon and the Dresden expander groups for nasopharynx volume (NPV), oropharynx volume (OPV), oropharynx minimal cross-sectional area (OPMCA), PNIF with both nostrils (PNIFBN), PNIF with left nostril blocked (PNIFLB), and PNIF with right nostril blocked (PNIFRB), and NOSE questionnaires. Also, both expanders showed to have no significant effect on upper airway dimensions and function. For skeletal and dental changes, Moon expander resulted in buccal displacement of pulp chamber of tooth # 1.6, 2.6, and 2.4 (p0.05). Conclusion: The effect of microimplant-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) appliances on upper airway dimension and function in adults is yet to be determined and future randomized controlled clinical trial studies with larger sample size are needed. In terms of skeletal and dental changes, the only statistically significant change was in the Moon expander group in transverse (X) direction for pulp chamber of upper first molars and upper left first premolar. However, such changes may not be clinically significant. No significant differences were found between the two appliance designs in this analysis.
