Arch widths after extraction and nonextraction treatment in class I patients.

چکیده
AIM To compare pretreatment and post-treatment dental arches in relation to intercanine and intermolar width changes in extraction and nonextraction treatment in class I patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study pretreatment and post-treatment dental casts of 60 patients (30 extractions of first premolars and 30 nonextractions) were selected. Anterior and posterior arch widths in the canine and molar regions from the most labial aspect of buccal surfaces, the canines and the molars were measured with the help of digital caliper on the study models and compared statistically to determine whether the dental arches were narrower after extraction treatment. RESULTS At the start of the treatment there were no statistically significant differences in maxillary and mandibular intercanine widths in both groups. At the end of treatment in both the groups anterior and posterior arch width changes were not significant except for the intercanine dimension which was 0.82 mm larger (p < 0.05) in the extraction group. CONCLUSION The extraction treatment does not result in narrower dental arches than nonextraction treatment in intercanine and intermolar region. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE It is documented that the arch widths determine smile esthetics and treatment stability. According to the findings of the present study the arch widths in extraction treatments are not narrower than nonextraction so there will not be any compromising effects on esthetics and treatment stability.

Transverse implications of maxillary premolar extraction in Class III presurgical orthodontic treatment.
INTRODUCTION Maxillary premolars are often extracted to resolve incisor proclination in presurgical orthodontic treatment for severe skeletal Class III patients. The aim of this article was to compare arch-width changes and orthodontic tooth movements between maxillary premolar extraction and nonextraction modalities, and to provide an additional indication for presurgical maxillary premolar ex...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to analyze tooth movement and arch width changes in maxillary dentition following nonextraction treatment with orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) anchorage in Class II division 1 malocclusions. METHODS Seventeen adult patients diagnosed with Angle's Class II division 1 malocclusion were treated by nonextraction with OMIs as anchorage for distalization of whole ...

Background and Aim: Unilateral extractions have been proposed as potential treatment options to correct Class II subdivision malocclusion, suggesting that most side effects associated with asymmetrical mechanics can be avoided, however the post-treatment arch form may not be symmetrical. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the post-treatment effects of unilateral premolar extrac...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the long-term changes in maxillary arch widths and buccal corridor ratios in orthodontic patients treated with and without premolar extractions. METHODS The study included 53 patients who were divided into the extraction (n = 28) and nonextraction (n = 25) groups. These patients had complete orthodontic records from the pretreatment (T1), posttreatment (T2), and postreten...
متن کاملArch dimensional changes following orthodontic treatment with extraction of four first premolars
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Tooth extraction as a part of orthodontic treatment plan to create space for leveling and aligning teeth or causing tooth movement leads to changes in arch width and length. The outcome of these changes is important for the clinicians and affects the treatment and retention plans. Despite some previous studies, data in this regard are still scarce and further investigation i...
