Unorthodox orthodontics: incisor palatal root torque without torquing
نویسنده
چکیده
We have shown in a previous article [1] how a relatively simple unipoint system extemporaneously achieved the correction of tooth migration in cases of very advanced periodontal disease. Here, we are going to show how the same attachments in conjunction with micro-screws placed on each side of the pyriform aperture and in both sides of the mandibular symphysis, made it possible to correct an extreme overbite in a similar deficient environment and achieve, in addition, retraction of the apices of the maxillary incisors.

Apical root resorption of upper incisors during the torquing stage of the tip-edge technique.
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether treatment with the Tip-Edge appliance resulted in more apical root resorption (ARR) of the central and lateral incisors during the torquing (third stage) than the non-torquing phases (first two stages) of orthodontic treatment. The three stages of this orthodontic technique make it possible to examine the amount of root shortening during torq...
متن کاملTorque capacity of metal and polycarbonate brackets with and without a metal slot.
The aim of the present study was to investigate slot deformation and the equivalent torque capacity of polycarbonate brackets with and without a metal slot in comparison with those of a metal bracket. For this purpose, the expansion characteristics and, in a further investigation, the labial crown torque of an upper central incisor, were measured in a simulated intra-oral clinical situation, us...
متن کاملTorque control during lingual anterior retraction without posterior appliances
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the factors that affect torque control during anterior retraction when utilizing the C-retractor with a palatal miniplate as an exclusive source of anchorage without posterior appliances. METHODS The C-retractor was modeled using a 3-dimensional beam element (0.9-mm-diameter stainless-steel wire) attached to mesh bonding pads. Various vertical heights and 2 attachment po...
متن کاملDiagnosis and management of root resorption by erupting canines using cone-beam computed tomography and fixed palatal appliance: a case report
INTRODUCTION Resorption of the root of the maxillary incisors during ectopic eruption of the maxillary canines is not an uncommon phenomenon, and must be considered in all patients with seriously diverging eruption of the maxillary canines. CASE PRESENTATION We report on the diagnosis and treatment of a 10-year-old Chinese boy with severe crowding and risk of root resorptions caused by impact...
متن کاملTorque expression of self-ligating brackets compared with conventional metallic, ceramic, and plastic brackets.
The purpose of this research was to investigate the torque capacity of active and passive self-ligating brackets compared with metallic, ceramic, and polycarbonate edgewise brackets. Six types of orthodontic brackets were included in the study: the self-ligating Speed and Damon2, the stainless steel (SS), Ultratrimm and Discovery, the ceramic bracket, Fascination 2, and the polycarbonate bracke...
