The introduction of mini-implants has broadened the range of tooth movements possible by fixed appliance therapy alone. The limits of fixed orthodontic treatment have become more a matter of facial appearance than anchorage. Many complex cases which would previously have required surgery or functional appliances can now be treated with fixed appliance therapy using mini-implants. A mutilated dentition case where mini-implants were used to provide anchorage for intrusion of molars and retraction of anterior teeth is reported here to illustrate this point.

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine the difference in the ratio of maxillary anterior teeth as the results of Edgewise Standard fixed orthodontic treatment with and without extraction with golden proportion values. Methods: This study is using a retrospective analitist descriptive method. Sample divided at two groups of 13 patients with extraction of first premolar and 19 patients without first premolar extraction. The study population was patients who had completed the Edgewise Standard fixed orthodontic treatment at the Orthodontics Specialist Professional Program of the Faculty of Dentistry Universitas Padjadjaran at 2000-2009. The study was conducted using frontal intraoral photometry before and af-ter treatment with 3R photo size, then measured with electronic digital calliper software. Results: Evaluation is done by measuring the maxillary anterior teeth ratio using phimatrix software on frontal intra oral photometry of the post standard edgewise orthodontics patients with Class I malocclusion to the golden proportion, then proceed with statistical t-test. Conclusion: The conclusion of this study shows that the maxillary anterior teeth post standard edgewise orthodontic treatment in class I dento-skeletal patients with or without the first premolar extraction whose treated in orthodontic resident’s clinic Padjadjaran University shows a significant differences with the golden proportion.

INTRODUCTION: In the end of 90's the adoption of mini-implants as Anchorage allowed a paradigm change influencing even the way of thinking orthodontic mechanics. The overlapping of the specialties of Orthodontics and Implantology started with orthodontic preparations for prosthetic implants insertion, aroused with the use of palatal implants and late with the introduction of mini-implants. The improvement of mini-implants insertion technique with the appearing of self-drilling screws has allowed orthodontists to plan and to place this precious Anchorage piece. Taking into account the versatility of positioning of these screws it was developed a concept that allows the construction of force action lines aiming at optimize the planning and predictability of orthodontic motion. OBJECTIVE: To present some clinical results treatments conduct using Centrex System of orthodontic treatment, approximating the force line action of resistance center of units to be moved. The traced way to its development, previously treated in this journal, will be detailed for better understanding of its functioning.

Mini screws represent a new treatment modality in orthodontic biomechanics. They provide absolute anchorage, no secondary movements and reduced orthodontic treatment time. Futhermore, the surgical procedure for mini implants placement is quite simple and this type of treatment requires no patient compliance. We selected a clinical case in order to emphasize one of the most important indications of the mini implants: retrusion of the upper incisors for a incresed overjet case in a young patient. Two mini implants were placed in order to obtain the correction of the overjet and the retrusion of the anterior teeth. The retrusion was obtained in a reduced period of time using retraction devices on crimpable hooks.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Orthodontic treatment in patients with traumatized teeth is a condition that needs good planning in order to achieve satisfactory results. Objective: To discuss approaches to orthodontic treatment of malocclusions associated with trauma followed by avulsion of anterior teeth, reimplanted after a short period of time. Case report: The treatment started with the distalization of upper posterior teeth, with the aid of mini-implants and sliding jigs, followed by the inclusion of anterior teeth in the arch, followed by intrusion of these teeth. Results: With the treatment, improved mobility of the anterior teeth was achieved, with better insertion into bone tissue. The most important factor for satisfactory treatment and a good prognosis for avulsion is the time the tooth remains outside the socket. Orthodontic treatment in patients with traumatized teeth is not contraindicated; however, clinical and radiographic aspects must be considered. Conclusion: Among the feasible orthodontic treatment options, the conservative approach can be a very favorable treatment alternative.

The incidence of dentoalveolar fracture in children is high about 18% because they are often active, lack of body coordination, and immature mental. The dentoalveolar fractures treatment to the children differs from adults, because of the immature bone structure. The purpose of this study is to investigate the treatment of dentoalveolar fracture in child patient using fixed orthodontic appliance. A 15-year-old boy treated with braces caused by malocclusion class 1 Angle type 1. The child suffers from dentoalveolar fracture of the mandibular anterior tooth and mandibular alveolar bone injury after a motorcycle accident. Fortunately, the patient was using an orthodontic fixed appliance that served as a splinting so that severe damage could be prevented. Treatment: the wound was cleaned by betadine antiseptic solution, and braces bonding on the labial of anterior teeth. The lingual region was splinted with wire as 0.7 SS combined with composite resin to make splinting stronger. The patient was given 500mg amoxicillin and 500mg ibuprofen. Wire SS 0.016 is indicated to have superior strength, and the strength remains a support in fixed orthodontic therapy because the stainless steel alloys are of "18-8" austenitic type contain chromium (7-25%), Nickel (8-25% ) and Carbon (1-2%). Chromium in this stainless steel alloy customs a thin oxide layer which blocks the diffusion of oxygen into the alloy and allows the corrosion resistance of the alloy. Stainless steel is introduced for the use of creating appliances. Archwires have high stiffness, low springiness, corrosion resistance, low range and good formability. These wires are often less expensive than the other ones and they can be readily used as archwires in an orthodontic treatment and splinting as well. After two months of splinting treatment, the tooth position approximately back to normal; there was unification alveolar bone in the radiographic evaluation. Dentoalveolar fracture treatment is to restore the teeth and alveolar bone in order that dentoalveolar structure to function properly, and aesthetic function is achieved.

<p><strong><em>Background:</em></strong><em> One of the most common inflammation disease in the oral cavity for the past few years is the aggressive form of periodontitis. Common signs of aggressive periodontitis is the mobility of teeth especially in incisive and first molars, and occuring mostly in young patient. Young patients whose losing her anterior teeth, are a real challenge for dentist and prosthodontist. Prosthodontist need to consider both functional and esthetic aspects. <strong>Objective:</strong> Rehabilitation of young adult patient with aggressive periodontitis by an interdisciplinary approach of orthodontist and prosthodontist. <strong>Case Description:</strong> A young woman, suffered from aggressive periodontitis with major complain of her teeth mobility, especially incisive and first molar in mandible. She had undergone periodontal treatment, but the result was failed. The anterior teeth in mandible need to be extracted, therefore patient wished not to be in edentulous state. As preliminary treatment, we choose immediate denture to replace the anterior mandible teeth. We faced difficulties in mandible, because her right canine weren’t in the proper dental arch. So we asked orthodontist to place fixed orthodontics in mandible, to get the canine back in the proper arch. We’ve chosen orthodontic treatment,because we didn’t want to extract the canine teeth. We evaluated in six months and after the canine back in the proper arch, we proceed to long span bridge in mandible as our definitive treatment. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> By not extracting the canine teeth, we got some advantages, especially patient psychically was happier with her own teeth. The collaboration with another dentistry field, provides us better treatment for patient. After treatment, patient had no complaints and was happy with her new smile.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords:</em></strong><em>  Prosthodontic rehabilitation, aggressive periodontitis, orthodontic treatment, esthetic</em><em>.</em></p><strong><em>Correspondence:</em></strong><em> Chaterina Diyah Nanik.

We are in the process of discovery of new vistas for technological advances in terms of various appliances with a vision of making orthodontic treatment compliance free as well as successful. Due to improved technology, the enigma of treating the Class II syndrome is palliated. “Out of the box” thinking has become a norm to treat certain situations that were not corrected in noncompliant patients. Fixed functional appliances are valuable tools introduced to assist the correction of skeletal Class II malocclusion with mandibular retrognathia at the deceleration stage of growth for achieving stable results. In this direction a case series is reported of patients having the above conditions and undergoing orthodontic treatment using a Forsus FFA. Joining hands with technology is a win-win situation for both the patient and the orthodontist.

Abstract Backgroud To analyze the morphological changes of the anterior alveolar bone after the retraction of incisors in premolar extraction cases and the relationship between incisor retraction and remodeling of the alveolar base represented by points A and B displacements. Methods Pre- (T0) and post-treatment (T1) lateral cephalograms of 308 subjects in the maxilla and 154 subjects in the mandible who underwent the orthodontic treatment with extraction of 2 premolars in upper or lower arches were included. Alveolar bone width and height in both the maxillary and mandible incisor area were measured at T0 and T1 respectively. By superimposing the T0 and T1 cephalometric tracings, changes of points A and B, and the movement of the incisors were also measured. Then the correlation between incisor movement and the displacements of points A and B was analyzed. Results The alveolar bone width (ABW) showed a significant decrease in both maxilla and mandible (P < 0.001) except the labial side of the mandible (P > 0.05). The alveolar bone height (ABH) showed a significant increase in the labial side of maxilla and a significant decrease in the lingual side of maxilla and mandible. A strong positive correlation was verified between incisor movement and position changes of points A and B in both horizontal and vertical directions. Conclusions Anterior alveolar bone width and height generally decreased after orthodontic treatment. Incisor retraction led to significant position changes of points A and B. The decrease of anterior alveolar bone due to significant incisor retraction should be taken into account in treatment planning.

AbstractAn altered facial appearance is more difficult to face, than problems related to ill-fitting denture or eating. The selection of maxillary anterior teeth for complete denture has long posed problem in clinical practice and a controversy about the best method to employ still exists. An attempt is made in the present study to clinically correlate the face form with maxillary central incisor tooth form in males and females of Davangere population. In 1914, Leon William's projected the “the form method” where he classified facial forms as square, tapering, and ovoid. Maxillary central incisors were selected according to the facial forms.Of total 100 subjects four different tooth forms and face forms were evaluated. They are: square, ovoid, square-tapered, tapered. No significant correlation existed between face form in male and females. Females exhibited greater correlation between face forms and inverted tooth form but that correlation is not sufficient to serve as a guide for selection of anterior teeth.
