Biomechanics of mini-screws and adult treatment: two case reports
نویسندگان
چکیده
Adult treatment is often hindered by the psychological, periodontal, articular and/or muscular context. Denture is often incomplete, and malocclusion is more varied. Analysis of orthodontic mechanics is thus essential to reduce unwanted displacements and achieve treatment objectives. Mini-screws are often very useful here, ensuring rigid anchorage and enhancing treatment efficacy. Benefit is discussed, based on two case reports: one using a slide mechanism and the other a frictionless mechanism.

Molar Uprighting Using Mini-Screws after Distalization by the Pendulum Appliance: A Case Report
A 16-year-old Class II female patient was treated without tooth extraction. The upper first molars were distalized by the Pendulum appliance. After six months, the molars tipped significantly to the distal. To correct this side effect, we decided to upright the molars using skeletal anchorage. On each side, a mini-screw was inserted between first and second premolars in the buccal cortical plat...
متن کاملUse of palatally inserted mini-screw for upper molar distalization: A case series
Abstract Reports have shown that molars can be distalized successfully with virtually no orthodontic anchorage loss with an intraosseous anchorage, even with fully erupted second molars. The purpose of this study was evaluating the effects of mini-screws as skeletal anchorage for upper molar distalization. In this case series, three patients needing maxillary first molar distalization,...
متن کاملAccelerated Tooth Movement with Orthodontic Mini-Screws
This case report outlines the possibility of accelerated tooth movement with the combination of microosteoperforation and mini-screws. A 14-year-old male patient presented Class II malocclusion with maxillary incisor protrusion. Upper first premolars were extracted, and after leveling, accelerated canine distalization started. For pre- and postdistalization times, amount of distalization, perio...
متن کاملThread Pitch Variant in Orthodontic Mini-screws: A 3-D Finite Element Analysis
Orthodontic miniscrews are widely used as temporary anchorage devices to facilitate orthodontic movements. Miniscrew loosening is a common problem, which usually occurs during the first two weeks of treatment. Macrodesign can affect the stability of a miniscrew by changing its diameter, length, thread pitch, thread shape, tapering angle and so on. In this study, a 3-D finite element analysis wa...
متن کاملOcclusal plane flattening by miniscrew in skeletal open bite:a case report
Introduction: Different factors such as respiratory disorders , genetics, facial growth pattern , tongue malfunction and malposition are associated with anterior open bite. Skeletal open bite is often appeared by increased posterior dentoalveolar height of maxilla and backward rotation of mandible. Many treatment approaches have been developed for treatment of increased facial height problems. ...
