Management of Deeply Impacted Molars with the Miniscrew-Supported Pole Technique

CARMEN LORENTE DDS, MSD, PhD, PEDRO LORENTE DDS, MSD, MARIA PEREZ-VELA DDS, CRISTINA ESQUINAS MPH, PhD, TERESA LORENTE DDS, MSD, PhD

In this article, Dr. Carmen Lorente and four colleagues illustrate an effective and simple surgical technique, using a cantilever arm supported by a miniscrew and a dental anchorage unit, to force the eruption of a deeply impacted second molar.

Rapid Palatal Expansion with the Keles Keyless Expander

AHMET KELES DDS, DMSc, CHEN-HSING LIN DDS, EREN KELES, M. ALI DARENDELILER BDS, PhD

A second-generation palatal expander avoids problems associated with the activation key by using an integrated arm operated with a finger. It can be fabricated with two support arms for a patient in the mixed dentition or with four support arms for enhanced stability in the permanent dentition.

The Biocreative Strategy Part 6: Class III Treatment

KYU-RHIM CHUNG DMD, MSD, PhD, YOUNG-JOON KIM DDS, MSD, PhD, HYERAN HELEN JEON DDS, MSD, DScD, SEONG-HUN KIM DMD, MSD, PhD, GERALD NELSON DDS

In the concluding installment of this six-part series, Dr. Chung and colleagues demonstrate their approach to Class III cases. Their small, I-shaped C-tube microplate can be custom-fit in the retromolar area to anchor efficient mandibular-arch distalization.

THE CUTTING EDGE

CAD/CAM Technology for Digital Indirect Bonding

ALICE SPITZ DDS, MSc, BRUNO FRAZÃO GRIBEL DDS, MSc, CARLO MARASSI DDS, MSc

Drs. Spitz, Gribel, and Marassi describe the application of computer-aided design to position brackets and to design and fabricate transfer trays for indirect bonding, using a 3D printer. The procedure is illustrated in a 13-year-old female patient.

CASE REPORT

Nonsurgical Correction of Class III Malocclusion and Anterior Open Bite with Mini-Implant Anchorage

AJIT KALIA BDS, MDS

The combination of mandibular prognathism with anterior open bite in an adult patient has traditionally required surgical-orthodontic correction. As this case shows, skeletal anchorage now enables orthodontic molar intrusion to close the open bite by counterclockwise mandibular rotation.

PEARLS

Closure of Mandibular Spaces During Retention

TRACI SAITO DMD, JAE HYUN PARK DMD, MSD, MS, PhD, PAUL SERRANO DDS

Extraction spaces often reopen within a year following orthodontic treatment. This Pearl presents a simple modification to a wraparound retainer, using a cinched nickel titanium wire in the labial bow, that can close a relapsed space in the lower arch during retention.
