Corticotomy-assisted orthodontic camouflage in a class III adult patient with a severe transverse discrepancy.

A 25-year-old man presented with a maxillary transverse discrepancy, posterior cross bite, anterior open bite, molar and canine class III. Treatment included a corticotomy in the upper lateral and posterior teeth, a palatal expansor and a sectional archwire to assist the expansion. The following treatment phase included bonding with Incognito System lingual appliance, interproximal reduction to solve the crowding and bite blocks to control the verticality.

The use of computer-assisted corticotomy to enhance surgical procedures.

In recent years, several surgical techniques have been proposed with the main goal of reducing the length of orthodontic treatment. Some of these techniques use a piezoelectric surgical instrument to perform alveolar bone cuts and promote localized bone turnover. One of the main limitations of these surgical techniques is that corticotomies may damage dental roots since traditional radiographic examinations do not allow the surgeon to precisely determine the length and three-dimensional position of the roots.

Odontogenic Orofacial Infections.

Acute dental abscess is a frequent and sometimes underestimated disease of the oral cavity. The acute dental abscess usually occurs secondary to caries, trauma, or failed endodontic treatment. After the intact pulp chamber is opened, colonization of the root canals takes place with a variable set of anaerobic bacteria, which colonize the walls of the necrotic root canals forming a specialized mixed anaerobic biofilm.

A piezo surgery with corticotomies and implant placement as part of a multidisciplinary approach to treat malocclusion disorder in an adult patient: clinical report.

This clinical report illustrates a multidisciplinary approach for the rehabilitation of a young adult patient affected by a bilateral edentulous space and an anterior deep bite. The patient required orthodontics and surgical corticotomy and implantology (both performed with a piezo device). A multidisciplinary planning approach, including orthodontics, oral and periodontic surgery, and restorative dentistry, has an important role in the final outcome of treatment.

Maxillary Segmental Micro Osteotomy: A Human Cadaver Study on the Efficacy of the Technique.

Purpose: Ultrasonic bone cutting was recently introduced as a feasible alternative to the conventional tools of cranio-maxillofacial surgery because it offers improved precision and safety.This study examined the feasibility of minimally invasive orthodontic or preprosthetic surgery using a piezosurgery device for latero-posterior maxillary segmental osteotomy.

Materials And Methods: Four fresh cadaveric heads were obtained for this study.

Posttraumatic use of dental implants immediately after tooth extraction: clinical study.

Purpose: Root fracture is a combined injury of cementum, dentin, and pulp. Many of these traumas remain untreated, mistreated, or overtreated. It leads to a more complicated treatment in case of tooth loss.

[Could the distalization of the mandibular molars be facilitated? A new therapeutic method].

A young patient complained of missing inferior second premolars. Clinical and cephalometric parameters suggested the indication for a prosthetic solution, opening the spaces between first premolars and molars, aiming to correct occlusal relationships. Space closure was thus excluded.
