Root resorption of maxillary incisors retracted with and without skeletal anchorage

Early management of impacted maxillary incisors with skeletal anchorage.

Apical Root Resorption: A Prospective Radiographic Study of Maxillary Incisors

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of apical root resorption in maxillary incisors during the initial stages of active orthodontic treatment and to test the hypothesis that root resorption increases with the progress of the treatment. METHODS The study sample consisted of 80 teeth of 20 patients (14 female, 6 male) with a mean age of 14.9±2.8 years. Root resorpti...

Comparative evaluation of maxillary protraction with or without skeletal anchorage.

INTRODUCTION The aim of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate the skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft-tissue effects of maxillary protraction with miniplates compared with conventional facemask therapy and an untreated Class III control group. METHODS Forty-five subjects who were in prepubertal or pubertal skeletal growth periods were included in the study and divided into 3 groups of...

Maxillary incisors changes during space closure with conventional and skeletal anchorage methods: a systematic review

Purpose The objective of this systematic review was to compare the antero-posterior, vertical and angular changes of maxillary incisors with conventional anchorage control techniques and mini-implant based space closure methods. Materials and Methods The electronic databases Pubmed, Scopus, ISI Web of knowledge, Cochrane Library and Open Grey were searched for potentially eligible studies usi...

Apical root resorption during orthodontic treatment of patients with multiple aplasia: a study of maxillary incisors.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk of root resorption during orthodontic treatment of patients with aplasia, and to analyse the relative importance of some anamnestic and treatment variables. The subjects comprised 68 orthodontically treated patients with 1-16 congenitally missing teeth. The age of the patients was 11-20 years (mean 15 years). All patients were treated with fixed ed...
