Objective: The aim of this case series was to test various personalized, CAD/CAM-manufactured orthodontic extrusion appliances. The appliances were characterized by high rigidity and manufacturing precision. In addition, the orthodontic force vector could be precisely and three-dimensionally planned.

Method And Materials: After a comprehensive diagnosis of three patients with deep fractured teeth by an interdisciplinary team, each patient's personalized extrusion protocol was determined (slow or rapid extrusion). Based on an intraoral scan, the personalized extrusion appliances were then digitally planned and manufactured using selective laser melting. The force vector was also precisely planned during this process. The appliances were inserted, and the force on the teeth to be extruded was precisely applied in accordance with the extrusion protocol. After extrusion, the teeth were retained and, if necessary, permanently restored.

Results: The target teeth of all three patients were successfully extruded. Furthermore, good cleanability and high wearing comfort of the appliances were maintained throughout treatment, as was the precise application of force.

Conclusion: The effectiveness of the tested digital workflow for precise and simplified orthodontic extrusion was clinically proven. The workflow guaranteed the following throughout treatment: precise planning and application of the force system; improved periodontal hygiene; and improved wearing comfort of the appliance, without affecting the patient's existing occlusion.

Article Synopsis
  • A case report highlights the orthodontic treatment of a 26-year-old woman with severe scissor bite using temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and fixed braces.
  • TADs were utilized to intrude extruded molars, correct dental midline, control molar inclination, and enhance overall dental relationships.
  • The successful treatment not only resolved the scissor bite but also improved the patient's occlusal function and facial aesthetics, with CBCT imaging recommended for effective three-dimensional treatment planning.

: Dental pulp and its neuro-vascular bundle (NVB) are among the least studied dental tissues. This study identified the best method for evaluating ischemic risks in the dental pulp and NVB of healthy lower premolars under orthodontic forces and in intact periodontium. : Nine 3D models of the second lower premolar were reconstructed based on the CBCT scans from nine patients.

: Most orthodontic forces are absorbed-dissipated before reaching the dental pulp and its neuro-vascular bundle (NVB); however, no data are available about their amounts. The objective of this study was to assess the amount of orthodontic force that reaches the dental pulp and its NVB during orthodontic movements in a healthy periodontium. : This study involved the second lower premolars of nine patients and 180 numerical simulations.

Introduction: This randomized clinical trial compared arch dimensional changes, dentoskeletal changes, and the rate of overbite correction in deep bite adults treated with fixed appliances and either maxillary incisor bite turbos (IBT) or canine bite turbos (CBT).

Materials And Methods: Forty-six deep bite subjects treated with fixed appliances were randomized into IBT (n = 23) and CBT (n = 23) groups. Changes in intercanine width (ICW), arch height (AH), and Little's Irregularity Index (LII) were analyzed from before treatment (T) to 3 months after aligning with 0.

Dental implant placement in the esthetic zone is associated with challenges for clinicians. The best esthetic outcome of this procedure can be obtained through precise management of hard and soft tissue. Orthodontic forced eruption (OFE) has presented an alternative approach to augment hard and soft tissues, which can be applied rapidly or slowly.
