Pendulum Therapy of Molar Distalization in Mixed Dentition
نویسندگان
چکیده
Early and timely pedo-orthodontic treatment is aimed at eliminating the disturbances of skeletal or dentoalveolar development, to harmonize the stomatognathic system before the full eruption of all permanent teeth. The advantages of pendulum appliance are its minimal dependence on patient's compliance (child cooperation), ease of fabrication, onetime activation and adjustment of the springs if necessary to correct minor transverse and vertical molar positions. This article reports a successful treatment method of class II malocclusion with pendulum appliance in mixed dentition phase. Distalization of maxillary molar was done, followed by guidance of canine impaction orthodontically and other dental correction using 0.022 MBT appliances. Posttreatment results were stable and remarkable. How to cite this article: Patil RU, Prakash A, Agarwal A. Pendulum Therapy of Molar Distalization in Mixed Dentition.

Distalization of Maxillary First Permanent Molar by Pendulum Appliance in Mixed Dentition Period
Introduction Mesial drifting of molar teeth in maxillary arch is corrected by movement of the molars distally. In addition to traditional distal movement techniques, such as extraoral force application and removable appliances, various intra-arch devices have been introduced since 1980s. These intra-arch appliances have nearly eliminated the need for patient cooperation. Case report The purpo...
متن کاملMolar 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 کاملAnchorage quality of deciduous molars versus premolars for molar distalization with a pendulum appliance.
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to assess dental anchorage qualities when the pendulum appliance is used for distal molar movement. MATERIAL Thirty adolescents in various dentition stages received a modified pendulum appliance with a distal screw and a specially preactivated pendulum spring for bilateral molar distalization in the maxilla. The subjects were subcategorized into 3 groups of 1...
متن کاملImmediate changes in the mandibular dentition after maxillary molar distalization using headgear
The purpose of this study was to investigate immediate changes in the mandibular dentition after maxillary molar distalization using headgear in non-growing patients. Sixteen patients (mean age, 18.9 ± 2.0 years) with Class II molar relationship and crowding were included in the present study. To correct the molar relationship, headgear was used for maxillary molar distalization. Cone-beam comp...
متن کاملRecent advances of Pendulum Appliance for Effective Molar Distalization
Molar distalization is the process of moving the terminal molars distally. It is one of the non extraction treatment modalities which is frequently followed in the regular clinical practice. To achieve a compliance free molar distalization, Hilger's Pendulum appliance is the best choice. It has undergone many modifications since its introduction to best suit a clinical situation. This article r...
