Background: Anterior crossbite is a case that when upper anterior are positioned palatally than lower teeth in centric occlusion. Orthodontic appliances using expansion screw could be solution for tooth treatment. Purpose: To figure out the optimal fabrication process of orthodontic single screw. Case analysis: Dental laboratory provided maxillary dental appliance with on 21. technician also re...

The paper presents a case report of a patient with a superior vena cava occlusion and post-operational (after the implantation of the aortic valve) atrioventricular block, which required constant stimulation. An epicardial VVI pacemaker was implanted through mini-sternotomy in the lower part of the previous operation field with very satisfactory stimulation parameters. Implantation of a screw-i...

OBJECTIVE To morphologically evaluate the active tip of six different types of self-drilling mini-implants for orthodontic anchorage. METHODS Images of the active tips of the mini-implants were obtained with a Zeiss optical microscope Stemi 200-C, with magnification of 1.6X. The images of the surface were viewed with the Axio Vision program (Zeiss, Jena, Germany) to calculate linear and angul...

The aim this study to report case a patient with Angle Class I Skeletal growth phase treated two phases AEB orthodontic mini-implant. Case report: female patient, 9 years old, reported an accentuated projection anterior teeth. She h...
