Eruption guidance appliance: a review.

Occlusal and Dentofacial Characteristics of the Deciduous Dentition and Treatment Effects of the Eruption Guidance Appliance in the Early Mixed Dentition

A new appliance for forced eruption.

The purpose of these case reports is to introduce an innovative orthodontic appliance to effect forced eruption. This device is useful when attempting to erupt teeth in the esthetic zone with minimal effect on adjacent teeth. It is especially indicated for adjacent teeth with esthetic restorations. The appliance is easy to fabricate, cost-effective and very useful in forced eruption efforts for...

Forced eruption of adjoining maxillary premolars using a removable orthodontic appliance: a case report.

Forced eruption can be performed in teeth with caries, fracture, resorption or perforation in the cervical third of the root or isolated teeth with one- or two-walled vertical periodontal defects. The purpose of this case report is to introduce an innovative orthodontic appliance which enables forced eruption. This appliance is easy to fabricate, cost-effective and very effective in forced erup...

Orthodontic force decreases the eruption rate of rat incisors.

The aim of this study was to determine whether a force applied in an antero-posterior direction would adequately reduce incisor eruption. This is needed to achieve a constant direction of force which is one of the demands for a good model for studying orthodontic tooth movement. Twenty male Wistar rats aged 11-12 weeks were divided into two equal groups: in the appliance group, a superelastic c...

One year treatment effects of the eruption guidance appliance in 7- to 8-year-old children: a randomized clinical trial.

BACKGROUND The eruption guidance appliance (EGA) aims to correct sagittal and vertical occlusal relations concomitantly with alignment of the incisors. Few reports have been published on treatment effects with the EGA but no randomized studies have been available. OBJECTIVES The aim was to find out if 1 year active treatment time with EGA was sufficient for achieving normal occlusal relations...
