[Quality of finishing occlusion and long-term stability of orthodontic treatments with premolar extractions : A systematic review].

Studies about orthodontic relapse have always confirmed the occurrence of some occlusal changes after orthodontic treatment. The reopening of premolar extraction spaces is one of the most frequently observed movements and would have several origins : gingival folds, root proximities, muscular imbalance..

[Intramaxillary devices of molar distalization on fixed appliance and with aligners].

Introduction: Class II malocclusion is a dysmorphosis that can result from different skeletal and/or alveolar components of maxillary and/or mandibular origin. In dental class II cases due to mesial drift of the maxillary molars, it is sometimes interesting to retract the maxillary molars, in order to avoid in certain situations extractions of premolars. To this end, several devices have been described in the literature.
