Stability of the anterior arm of three different Hyrax hybrid expanders: an in vitro study

ABSTRACT Introduction: The force applied to the teeth by fixed orthopaedic expanders has previously been studied, but not the force applied to the orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) used to expand the maxilla with Hyrax hybrid expanders (HHE). Objective: The aim of this article was to evaluate the clinica...

Periodontal clinical evaluation before and after surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion

ABSTRACT Introduction: The surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion is a procedure that reduces the resistance of the sutures correcting the posterior crossbite in adults. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the periodontal status of 17 adults submitted to this procedure. Methods: Th...

Plaque index and gingival index during rapid maxillary expansion of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate

ABSTRACT Objective: To assess, during rapid maxillary expansion, the plaque index (PI) and the gingival index (GI) of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate(UCLP) using Hyrax (HX) or inverted mini-Hyrax (IMHX) rapid maxillary expanders (RME) considering patients' sex and age. Methods: PI (Quigl...

Compensatory Class III malocclusion treatment associated with mandibular canine extractions

ABSTRACT Skeletal Class III malocclusions are ideally treated with orthodontic-surgical approaches. However, if there are no significant soft tissue implications and the patient does not want to undergo orthognatic surgery, other treatment options may be considered. The current case report describes a co...

Stability comparison of two different dentoalveolar expansion treatment protocols

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the longitudinal stability of the conventional straight-wire system after the use of a quad-helix appliance with Damon self-ligating system in patients with Class I malocclusion. Methods: 27 adolescent patients were evaluated at three different ...

Skeletal effects of RME in the transverse and vertical dimensions of the nasal cavity in mouth-breathing growing children

ABSTRACT Introduction: Maxillary constriction is a dentoskeletal deformity characterized by discrepancy in maxilla/mandible relationship in the transverse plane, which may be associated with respiratory dysfunction. Objective: The objective of this study was to evaluate the skeletal effects of RME on ...

A expansão palatal através de distrator de ancoragem óssea é utilizada, principalmente, para tratamento de discrepâncias severas em pacientes em idade de consolidação das suturas craniofaciais. Devido ao seu sucesso e à superioridade em relação aos distratores dentários, ela vem sendo cada vez...

Angle Class III malocclusion with anteroposterior and vertical discrepancy in the final stage of growth

ABSTRACT Angle Class III malocclusion is characterized by an anteroposterior dental discrepancy with or without anteroposterior and vertical skeletal changes. Patients usually seek orthodontic treatment because facial appearance is compromised in most cases. The present study describes the clinical case ...
