ABSTRACT Objectives To compare the effects of two different force magnitudes on maxillary posterior segment intrusion using mini-screws. The null hypothesis was that there would be no difference between the two force magnitudes. Materials and Methods Adult patients with skeletal open bite and a dental open bite ranging from 3 to 8 mm were recruited for this trial. The comparator group had 200 g of intrusive force applied for posterior segment intrusion, whereas 400 g of force was applied in the intervention group. Primary outcomes were the amount of posterior teeth intrusion and anterior open bite closure. Results Twenty-two subjects were randomized to include 11 participants in each group. One participant dropped out in each group, leaving us with 10 subjects to be analyzed per group. There was statistically significant posterior teeth intrusion of 2.42 ± 2.06 and 2.26 ± 1.87 mm for the comparator and intervention groups, respectively, with no difference between them. Statistically significant open bite closure was achieved in both groups, measuring 2.24 ± 1.18 and 3.15 ± 1.06 mm in the comparator and intervention groups, respectively, with no difference between them. Conclusions Both the 200 g and 400 g intrusive forces yielded similar outcomes in terms of posterior teeth intrusion and anterior open bite closure.

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of miniscrew anchorage for intrusion of the posterior dentoalveolar region to correct skeletal open bite. Materials and Methods: The study was comprised of 12 patients (aged 14.3 to 27.2 years; mean 18.7 years) with anterior open bites. All the patients presented a Class II skeletal pattern and excessive posterior growth. Self-drilling miniscrew implants were inserted into the posterior midpalatal area and the buccal alveolar bone between the lower molars. A transpalatal and a lingual arch were used to maintain the molars on each side in order to avoid overrotation during intrusion. A force of 150 g was applied to the microscrews on each side to intrude the posterior teeth. Lateral cephalograms of all 12 patients were taken preintrusion and immediately after completion of the intrusion. The cephalometric films were measured and compared. Results: The results showed that the anterior open bites in 12 patients were all corrected in a mean of 6.8 months. Overbite increased by a mean of 4.2 mm (P < .001), from −2.2 mm in preintrusion to 2.0 mm in postintrusion. The maxillary and mandibular first molars were intruded for an average of 1.8 mm (P < .001) and 1.2 mm (P < .001), respectively. The mandibular plane angle was reduced by 2.3° (P < .001), which led to a counterclockwise rotation of the mandible with a significant decrease in the anterior facial heights (mean of 1.8 mm; P < .001). Conclusion: Miniscrew anchorage has the advantages of being a simpler procedure, being minimally invasive, and requiring minimal patient cooperation.

ABSTRACT Objectives To compare the root resorption resulting from miniscrew-supported maxillary posterior dentoalveolar intrusion using two different force magnitudes. Materials and Methods: Adult patients with skeletal open bite, indicated for maxillary posterior dentoalveolar intrusion, were recruited and randomly assigned to the comparison or intervention groups. The comparison group involved applying 200 g of intrusive force per segment, which measured 20 g per root, while this force was 400 g per segment in the intervention group, measuring 40 g per root. Results Twenty participants were included in the final analysis after 2 patients dropped out, 1 in each group, to end up with 10 subjects (200 roots) per group. There was statistically significant root resorption of 0.84 ± 0.96 mm and 0.93 ± 1.00 mm in the comparison and the intervention groups, respectively. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the groups. Conclusions Root resorption inevitably took place in association with orthodontic intrusion. However, increasing the magnitude of the intrusive force did not increase the amount of root resorption, either statistically or clinically.

Stress Patterns

Introduction: In the last decades the application of the Finite Element Methodology (FEM) has become popular. It can calculate stresses and displacement in complex structures and can anticipate the tissue responses to orthodontic mechanics applied for treating different malocclusions. This study evaluated and compared the stress patterns and teeth displacement with application of 450g of intrusive force bilaterally on maxillary posterior segment utilizing a conventional old method, High-Pull Headgear (HPHG) and a newer method, Infrazygomatic Crestal Bone Screw (IZC-BS) using 3D-FEM. Method: A 3D-FEM model of the craniomaxillary segment with maxillary teeth was reconstructed from the Cone Beam Computed Tomographic image of a patient with class II div I malocclusion on class II skeletal base with anterior open bite and 450g of intrusive force was applied bilaterally on maxillary posterior segment utilizing HPHG and IZC-BS and stress patterns and teeth displacement were studied and compared. Result: Von Mises stresses on Zygomaticomaxillary, Zygomaticotemporal and Pterygomaxillary sutures and surface landmarks on maxillary, zygomatic, temporal and sphenoid bones were more pronounced and generalized for HPHG group. Intrusion, expansion and sagittal displacement of maxillary posterior segment were also more pronounced with HPHG group. Stresses weren’t present at the apical root areas of the maxillary posterior teeth for both the groups. Conclusion: On applying equal amount of intrusive force bilaterally to the maxillary posterior segment, stress patterns and teeth displacement were more pronounced and effective for HPHG group however; apical root areas of the maxillary posterior teeth in both the groups didn’t show any stresses.

Introduction. Open bite is a multifactorial phenomenon and no single factor can account for open-bite. Etiology plays an important role in diagnosis. Heredity, unfavorable growth patterns, incorrect jaw postoure, are the characteristics of skeletal open bite. Digit sucking. Depending on where the thumb is placed, a number of different types of dental problems can develop. Malocclusions of the late mixed or permanent dentitions, caused by thumb sucking are not self corrected and orthodontic treatment is necessary for their correction. Lymphatic tissue. In order to produce oral respiration, the mandible is postured inferiorly with the tongue protruded and resting against the oral floor. This postural alteration induces dental and skeletal modifications similar to those caused by thumb sucking. This may cause excessive eruption of the posterior teeth, leading to an increase in the vertical dimension of the face and result in development of anterior open bite. Tongue thrust. Tongue habits cause an anterior open bite or they develop secondarily to thumb sucking. In skeletal open bite the tongue habit acts as a secondary factor which helps to maintain or exacerbate the condition. Many orthodontists have had a discouraging experience of completing dental treatment, with what appeared to be good results, only to discover that the case had relapsed because the patient had a tongue thrust swallowing pattern. Conclusion. Dentoalveolar or habitual open bite is caused by habits, which influence the growth and development of dentoalveolar processes and contribute to occlusal disharmonies. Prior to eruption of adult dentition, open bite related to oral habits is usually not a concern as when the habits stop, because the erupting dentition tends to improve spontaneously. Treatment is usually not necessary until permanent teeth erupt (~6 years old). .

Case Report. An 8-year-old girl with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) reported unsatisfactory aesthetics, difficulty in mastication, and dental hypersensitivity. The intraoral examination observed mixed dentition, malocclusion in anteroposterior relationships, anterior open bite, and dental asymmetry. A hypoplastic form of AI was diagnosed in the permanent dentition. A multidisciplinary planning was performed and divided into preventive, orthopedic, and rehabilitation stages. Initially, preventive treatment was implemented, with fluoride varnish applications, in order to protect the fragile enamel and reduce the dental sensitivity. In the second stage, the patient received an interceptive orthopedic treatment to improve cross-relationship of the arches during six months. Finally, the rehabilitation treatment was executed to establish the vertical dimension. In the posterior teeth, indirect composite resin crowns were performed with minimally invasive dental preparation. Direct composite resin restorations were used to improve the appearance of anterior teeth.Follow-Up. The follow-up was carried out after 3, 6, 12, and 18 months. After 18 months of follow-up, The restoration of integrity, oral hygiene, and patient satisfaction were observed .Conclusion. Successful reduction of the dental hypersensitivity and improvement of the aesthetic and functional aspects as well as quality of life were observed.

ABSTRACT Amelogenesis imperfecta is a rare hereditary disorder that affects dental enamel and is often associated with an anterior open bite. Orthodontic treatment of a 16-year-old female patient with hypocalcified amelogenesis imperfecta and a 9-mm anterior open bite was presented. Radiographic examination revealed a steep mandibular plane angle, an increased lower face height, a Class II skeletal pattern, and a convex profile. Additionally, the patient had stainless steel crowns on all upper and lower posterior teeth and composite veneers on the upper anterior teeth. The patient was treated nonsurgically using a multiloop edgewise archwire (MEAW). MEAW mechanics allowed for successful correction of the anterior open bite, with significant reduction in the mandibular plane angle and improvement in the patient's profile. No fixed retainers were used, results remained stable 78 months after removal of orthodontic appliances. MEAW mechanics should be considered for patients with large anterior open bites, although this technique requires excellent patient compliance.

Penutupan gigitan terbuka menggunakan elastic box anterior. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkanpengurangan besar gigitan terbuka dari 10,7 mm menjadi 1,25 mm. Kesimpulannya elastic box anterior dapat digunakan untuk mengoreksi gigitan terbuka yang etiologinya melibatkan intrusi gigi anterior.  Skeletal Anteroposterior Open Bite Treatment with Straight Wire Technique. Open bite is a malocclusion with characteristic no overlapping between maxillar and mandibular teeth. This malocclusion may occur in anterior or posterior region and involved dental or skeletal. This malocclusion needed precise diagnosis and treatment to get a good treatment result and long term stability. The aim of this case report was to inform management of patient with skeletal open bite. A 19 years old male came to orthodontic clinic Faculty of Dentistry Gadjah Mada University with the chief complaint anterior crowding, and anterior teeth cannot be used to bite. Clinical finding showed patient had tongue thrusting habit. Study model analysis showed class I Angle malocclusion with 10.7 mm anterior open bite from right second premolar to left second premolar, with individual teeth malposition and mandibular midline shifting to the left. Cephalometric finding showed class II skeletal relationship with bimaxillar retrusive, clockwise mandibular rotation and skeletal open bite. This patient refused orthognatic surgery, so he received camouflage orthodontic treatment. This treatment was started with monofunctional exercise to correct the swallowing action then continued with straight wire orthodontic treatment with four first molar extractions. Anterior box elastic was used to close the bite. Evaluation result showed open bite was decreased from 10.7 mm to 1.25 mm. The conclusion was anterior box elastic could be used in open bite correction that involved anterior teeth intrusion as an etiology.
