Molar Uprighting Using Mini-Screws after Distalization by the Pendulum Appliance: A Case Report
Authors
Abstract:
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 plate. An auxiliary spring was placed between the mini-screw head and the molar buccal tube. The resultant moment made the first molar upright. In addition, the side effects of this mechanic, i.e. molar intrusion and molar buccal tipping, counteract the extrusion and medial movement caused by the Pendulum Appliance. The aim of this case report was to present an innovative method for molar uprighting using skeletal anchorage.

SUMMARY The aim of this study was to evaluate the dentoalveolar effects of a pendulum appliance supported buccally by a K-loop, and to compare these with a cervical headgear (CHG) group. The records of 30 patients with skeletal Class I and dental Class II malocclusions were divided in to two groups: Patients in group 1 (seven females and eight males; mean age, 15.0 +/- 3.4 years) were treated w...
full textRecent 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...
full textComparative evaluation of molar distalization therapy with erupted second molar: Segmented versus Quad Pendulum appliance
BACKGROUND There are controversial opinions about the effect of erupted second molars on distalization of the first molars. Most of the distalizing devices are anchored on the first molars, without including second molars; so, differences between sequentially distalize maxillary molars (second molar followed by the first molar) or distalize second and first molars together are not clear. The ai...
full textDistalization 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...
