Download or read book THREE DIMENSIONAL ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECTS OF EXTRACTION ON THE SMILE IN CLASS II HIGH AND LOW MANDIBULAR PLANE ANGLE PATIENTS written by Neil E. Uffner and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The annals of orthodontics are filled with studies aimed to understand how extraction orthodontic treatment might change the face. Although many studies have addressed profile changes due to extraction treatment, fewer studies have focused on how extractions change a patients smile. With the advent of surface imaging systems such as 3dMD, it is now possible to visualize the smile, and any changes incurred during orthodontic treatment, in three dimensions. Subjects for this study were chosen from the pool of 11-18 year old patients treated at the Podray Orthodontic Clinic at the Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry. Subjects were Cl II patients, and must have been treated with either extraction of any combination of premolars or treated without extraction. Subjects were divided into four experimental groups based on two characteristics- mandibular angle (those with angles greater than 28o versus those with angles less than 28o) and treatment (extraction versus non-extraction). The resulting groups were separated as follows: high-angle extraction patients (n=8), low-angle extraction patients (n=6), high-angle non-extraction patients (n=7), and low-angle non-extraction patients (n=15). For each subject initial and final 3dMD images were superimposed using 3dMD Vultus software. A color histogram was constructed to visualize changes during treatment. The cheeks, commissures, upper and lower lips, chin, and nose, were also landmarked, and the changes in these landmarks were calculated. Volume changes were also calculated between pre and post treatment 3D data. Results showed that the lower lip and right commissure changes between high-angle extraction and non-extraction groups were statistically significant. A qualitative analysis of the histograms further supported these findings. In general, a greater change in soft tissue landmarks and soft tissue volumes could be seen in high-angle patients than low-angle patients. Differences in the changes that result from treatment type (extraction vs. non-extraction) were seen in the high-angle group. In contrast, similar changes result from treatment type (extraction vs. non-extraction) in the low-angle groups. Furthermore, the lip changes seen in extraction patients upon smiling are very similar to those changes seen in the same patient in repose. Most interestingly, soft tissue differences of the face due to treatment, growth, or both, seem to disappear upon smiling, with the exception of the lips. Qualitative assessment of these changes in the smile might be a more appropriate method for identifying soft tissue changes than statistical analyses. Similar studies with larger sample sizes are a promising direction for future research.

Book excerpt: Protecting Infants through Human Milk: Advancing the Scientific Evidence provides a forum in which basic scientists, clinicians, epidemiologists, and policy makers exchange the latest findings regarding the effects of human milk and breastfeeding on infant and maternal health, thereby fostering new and promising collaborations. This volume also integrates data from animal and in vitro laboratory studies with clinical and population studies to examine human milk production and composition, the mechanisms of infant protection and/or risk from human milk feeding, and proposed interventions related to infant feeding practices. Additionally, it stimulates critical evaluation of, and advances in, the scientific evidence base and research methods, and identifies the research priorities in various areas.
Download or read book Effect of Double Transpalatal Arch During Extraction Treatment of Class II Malocclusion written by Pushpak Patel and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction: Anchorage and vertical control are some of the limiting factors in orthodontics, and their control is essential for successful orthodontic treatment. The purpose of this retrospective cephalometric study was to quantify the anchorage and vertical control capabilities of the double TPA by comparing Class II patients treated with full fixed appliances (Roth prescription - GAC 022x028 Slot), extraction of maxillary first bicuspid and utilizing double TPAs on first and second molars to a control sample of matched untreated Class II patients. Methods: Pretreatment and post treatment lateral cephalograms were analyzed of 20 patients (10 male and 10 female) from the same orthodontic practice with skeletal Class II malocclusions, characterized by hyperdivergent growth patterns. All of the 20 patients had maxillary first premolar extractions and double TPAs on the maxillary first and second molars. Space closure was done without headgear, utilizing only double key-hole closing loop archwires. The experimental sample was matched to controls from the Michigan and Bolton Brush growth studies. 12 cephalometric variables were identified to evaluate the effect of double TPAs on various skeletal and dental parameters including anchorage and vertical control. Results: Upper first molar horizontal movement in TPA experimental group: U6-PT Vertical=0.9mm, 6-PTV UMKC=1.2mm and H Perp to mestal U6-0.6mm, moved less forward compared to controls. Upper first molar vertical movement in TPA experimental group: U6-PP measurement in the TPA group was 1.9mm less compared to controls. U6-SN measurement was statistically insignificant between the two groups. Conclusions: Double TPAs were shown to effectively hold the anchorage and control the vertical in the treatment of skeletal Class II hyperdivergent patients.
Download or read book Twin Block Functional Therapy written by William Clark and published by JP Medical Ltd. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twin Block appliances are simple bite blocks that are designed for full-time wear. They achieve rapid functional correction of malocclusion (misalignment of upper and lower teeth) by the transmission of favourable occlusal forces to occlusal inclined planes that cover the posterior teeth. The forces of occlusion are used as the functional mechanism to correct the malocclusion (www.twinblocks.com). Beginning with an introduction to orthodontics and twin blocks, the next chapters describe growth studies and diagnosis and treatment planning. Each of the following sections discusses the use of twin blocks for different types of malocclusion. With a focus on the latest developments in functional therapy, the book offers guidance on diagnosis, treatment planning, case selection, appliance design and clinical management. Written by the internationally recognised Orthodontist William Clark from Fife, UK, who also invented Twin Blocks, this comprehensive guide includes nearly 600 clinical photographs and illustrations. Key points Comprehensive guide to use of Twin Blocks in treatment of malocclusion Focus on latest developments in functional therapy Written by UK-based inventor of Twin Blocks Includes nearly 600 images and illustrations

The fourth edition of this established textbook for dental undergraduates and postgraduates has been completely updated to reflect these changes. More emphasis has been placed on care of the elderly and how to achieve better communication between clinicians and dental technicians. More details of clinical techniques have been included, with a new section on the self assessment of clinical work. The text has been completely revised to take into account the results of research over the last ten years.
