Influence of the maxillary dimensions and lateral incisor anatomy on the palatal impaction of maxillary permanent canines: A three-dimensional case-control study.

Objective: The diagnosis of impacted upper permanent canines (IUPC) is a relatively common clinical finding. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between the upper permanent canines palatal impaction, lateral incisors morphology and the maxilla bone base.

Material And Methods: Cone-beam tomography files from 62 subjects were divided into 2 groups: impaction group (ICG/n=31; mean age 14.

Influence of the maxillary dimensions and anterior teeth anatomy on the buccal impaction of upper permanent canines: A three-dimensional case-control study.

Objective: The diagnosis of impacted upper permanent canines (IUPC) is a relatively common clinical finding. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the buccal impaction of upper permanent canines with their dimensions and the maxilla bone base.

Material And Methods: Cone beam computed tomography files of 66 patients were allocated into: impaction group (ICG/n=33/mean age 15.

Primary stability of orthodontic mini-implants inserted into maxilla and mandible of swine.

Objective: The objective of this study was to assess the primary stability of different orthodontic mini-implants inserted into different maxillary and mandibular regions of swine.

Material And Methods: One hundred eighty orthodontic mini-implants produced by 5 different manufacturers, all presenting several shapes, were divided into 5 groups: Mondeal (M), Neodent (N), SIN (S), INP, and Titanium Fix (T). Fifteen pigs (Sus scrofa piau) were used for study and 12 mini-implants were inserted into 3 mandibular and maxillary regions.

Surgical prediction of skeletal and soft tissue changes in Class III treatment.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to study the treatment outcomes and accuracy of the digital prediction using Dolphin Imaging Software and the actual postoperative outcome in subjects presenting Class III malocclusions.

Materials And Methods: Maxillary advancement surgery was performed in group 1, and maxillary advancement was combined with mandibular setback surgery in group 2. Predictive cephalometric tracings were made using Dolphin Imaging Software.
