Does muscular activity related to vertical facial divergence influence the time needed for orthodontic extrusion of palatally impacted maxillary cani…
2018
Background The aim of the present study was to evaluate if the different muscular activity correlated to different degrees of facial divergence has an effect on the time needed to extrude a palatally impacted maxillary canine. Material and methods Twenty-six patients were retrospectively selected, all treated with a specific cantilever appliance that allows extrusion of the impacted canine applying a physiologic amount of force below 0.6 N in a predictable way. For all the patients, pre-treatment cephalometric tracings were used to evaluate facial divergence through the FMA angle, the angle between the maxillary and mandibular plane, and the angles between the occlusal plane and either the …
Factors influencing orthodontic treatment time
2021
Ievads: Šī literatūras pārskata mērķis ir aprakstīt faktorus, kuri literatūrā minēti kā ietekmējoši ortodontiskās ārstēšanas ilgumu. Pārskata hipotēze bija tāda, ka ilgāks ārstēšanas laiks ir saistīts ar sarežģītāku diagnozi. Metodes: Šajā pārskatā tika izmantoti 133 literatūras avoti angļu valodā no 1945. līdz 2021. gadam, iesaistot bērnus, pusaudžus un pieaugušos pacientus. Rezultāti: Lielākā daļa autoru ziņo, ka ekstrakcijām, II klases sakodienam, retinētiem kanīniem un faktoriem, kas saistīti ar pacienta atbilstību, bija nozīmīga ietekme uz ārstēšanas laiku. Nav konstatēta saikne starp vecumu un ārstēšanas ilgumu. Secinājumi: P…
Impacted maxillary canines and root resorption of adjacent teeth: a retrospective observational study
2016
Background The prevalence of impacted maxillary canine is reported to be between 1% and 3%. The lack of monitoring and the delay in the treatment of the impacted canine can cause different complications such as: displacement of adjacent teeth, loss of vitality of neighbouring teeth, shortening of the dental arch, follicular cysts, canine ankylosis, recurrent infections, recurrent pain, internal resorption of the canine and the adjacent teeth, external resorption of the canine and the adjacent teeth, combination of these factors. An appropriate diagnosis, accurate predictive analysis and early intervention are likely to prevent such undesirable effects. The objective is to evaluate, by means…
