A novel method for the treatment of Class II malocclusion.

Growth modification is a feasible approach for the treatment of skeletal Class II malocclusion. A positive association was found between the lateral functional shift of the mandible due to occlusal prematurities and skeletal changes. This finding is reminiscent of an equivalent anteroposterior skeletal effect of the anterior functional shift of the mandible.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate skeletal, dentoalveolar, and soft tissue changes at 3 years posttreatment in patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion treated with modified C-palatal plates (MCPPs).
Methods: The sample consisted of 69 lateral cephalograms of 23 patients Class II Division 1 malocclusion (9 men, 14 women; average age, 20.1 years) who underwent bilateral distalization of their maxillary dentition.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how factors like the space available for eruption and the movement of second molars impact the positioning of impacted mandibular third molars during treatment.
- Researchers analyzed 41 third molars from 34 patients, measuring their position before and after treatment to determine influences on their upright orientation.
- Key findings indicate that older patients with more advanced dental development and faster eruption rates are more likely to have upright third molars, while faster movement of second molars can lead to tilting of the third molars.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the amount of tooth movement and histologic changes with different corticotomy designs and micro-osteoperforation in rabbits.
Methods: The sample consisted of 24 rabbits divided into three experimental groups (triangular corticotomy [TC] and indentation corticotomy [IC] with flap, and flapless micro-osteoperforations [MP]) and a control. A traction force of 100 cN was applied by connecting the first premolars to the incisors.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the treatment effects of palatally vs buccally placed temporary anchorage devices.
Materials And Methods: Of 40 Class II division 1 malocclusion patients, 22 were treated with modified C-palatal plate (MCPP) appliances (age 21.9 ± 6.
Evaluation of corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics and piezocision in rapid canine retraction.
Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop
April 2016
Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics and piezocision in rapid canine retraction.
Methods: The sample consisted of 20 patients (15-25 years old) with Class II Division 1 malocclusions. The suggested treatment plan was extraction of the maxillary first premolars with subsequent canine retraction.
