A Modified C-Implant for Simpler and More Efficient Treatment

Volume 57 : Number 8 : Page 469 : Aug 2023

The original C-implant was designed to enable partial osseointegration for stability against rotational moments and heavy forces. This second generation overcomes some drawbacks of the first version while taking advantage of the best characteristics of conventional miniscrews. A typical case is presented.

The Claspring: An Adjunct to Removable Appliance Therapy

Volume 27 : Number 2 : Page 0 : Feb 1993

Removable orthodontic appliances are often used in the first stage of mixed dentition treatment, in retention, or in conjunction with fixed appliances.1-3 Their use in moving teeth, however, is limite...

Design Improvements in the Modified C-Palatal Plate for Molar Distalization

Volume 47 : Number 4 : Page 241 : Apr 2013

Although early versions of the modified C-palatal plate (MCPP) were used successfully for molar distalization in both adolescents and adults, close contact between the plate and the palatal soft tissu...

Hybrid Hyrax Distalizer and Mentoplate for Rapid Palatal Expansion, Class III Treatment, and Upper Molar Distalization

Volume 51 : Number 6 : Page 317 : Jun 2017

In a preadolescent Class III patient, the use of a surgically placed Mentoplate in the anterior mandible facilitates a transfer of protractive forces to the underlying bone structure without the need for extraoral elastics. At the same time, the skeletally anchored Hybrid Hyrax Distalizer provides rapid palatal expansion along with upper-molar distalization.

The Biocreative Strategy Part 2: The Tweemac Analysis

Volume 52 : Number 0 : Page 359 : Jun 2018

In the second part of their series, Drs. Kim, Ahn, Chung, and Nelson describe the measurements and clinical interpretation of the Biocreative diagnostic system. The Tweemac analysis allows simple yet effective evaluation of the patient’s dentofacial characteristics using a minimum number of landmarks.

A Tissue- and Boneborne Rapid Palatal Expander

Volume 54 : Number 4 : Page 230 : Apr 2020

Drs. Lupini, Retrouvey, Decesari, and Cozzani present a new Haas-inspired miniscrew-assisted maxillary expander for application in non-growing patients. Unlike toothborne devices, it provides an orthopedic component of force, using metal pads instead of acrylic to increase rigidity and avoid inflammation.
