Corono-radicular dilaceration of a maxillary central incisor: A case report
Publication date: Available online 25 June 2019Source: International OrthodonticsAuthor(s): Fatima Salek, Intissar El Idrissi, Mustpaha El Alloussi, Fatima Zaoui, Mohammed-Faouzi AzaroualSummaryCoronoradicular dilaceration is a particular abnormality of the permanent incisors, usually maxillary, and usually occurs around the age of 4 to 5 when the crown is formed and the root is still growing. It follows acute mechanical trauma affecting the temporary incisor. This anomaly of shape is characterized by an angulation between the crown and the root of the permanent tooth. The prognosis may be serious because the affected toot...

Evaluation of preferred lip position according to different tip rotations of the nose in class I young adult subjects
ConclusionThe lip position was the determinant factor in facial aesthetics with little influence of the nose tip rotation. Three-dimensional evaluation of the nose and lip were needed to establish a soft tissue-based treatment plan.RésuméIntroductionLa bouche joue un rôle important dans l’aspect esthétique global du visage. Les objectifs de cette étude étaient de déterminer la position optimale de la lèvre antéro-postérieure (AP) par rapport aux différentes rotations de la pointe nasale et d’évaluer l’impact de l’angle nasolabial sur l’esthétique faciale.Matérial et méthodesLes volumes faciaux trid...

Maxillary protaction with zygomatic anchorage in a growing class III patient
Publication date: Available online 2 May 2019Source: International OrthodonticsAuthor(s): Johanna Aldaz, Daniela Andrade, Edison Aguilar, Manuel BravoSummaryMaxillary protraction headgear with dental anchorage is commonly used in the treatment of class III malocclusion, but this treatment has been shown to have certain undesirable effects such as the loss of dental anchorage. These side effects can be reduced with the use of skeletal anchorage such as miniplates, mini screws and implants. This case report describes an orthopaedic treatment performed on a 10-year-old boy presenting a class III malocclusion with maxillary hy...

Facial photogrammetric profile measurements and sagittal dental occlusion in the young Congolese Bantu Adult (DRC)
ConclusionThe photogrammetric measurements of the face captured the morphological specificities related to the type of dental occlusion and to the gender dimorphism. The expressiveness of the gender dimorphism was more pronounced in the subgroup of subjects in dental normoclusion, a little less in distocclusion, and almost none in dental mesiocclusion. Therefore, profile photographs may be a viable alternative to determine normative values for the facial skin profile of the Congolese subject, and may be used as a reference for the diagnostic and treatment approach.RésuméObjectif L’objectif de la présente étude était...

Study the predisposing factors of root resorption during orthodontic uprighting treatment of impacted mandibular third molars
ConclusionImpacted mandibular third molars were uprighted and the amount of root resorption of third molar after treatment was not increased. The duration of uprighting and the distance that root moved influence the degree of root resorption.RésuméObjectifAnalyser la quantité de résorption radiculaire de la dent de sagesse mandibulaire incluse à orientation mésiale ou horizontale après nivellement orthodontique.Matériels et méthodesVingt-quatre patients âgés de 20 à 26 ans ayant une dent de sagesse incluse à orientation mésiale ou horizontale avec formation complète de racines et dont la première molaire ...

Four TADs supported Herbst mechanics: A case report
Publication date: Available online 27 April 2019Source: International OrthodonticsAuthor(s): Antonio Manni, Daniela Lupini, Mauro CozzaniSummaryThe Herbst appliance (HA) is considered an efficient method to treat class II malocclusion characterized by mandibular retrusion. Nevertheless, HA is although hampered by side effects reducing its therapeutic potentialities. The association between HA and TADs in the lower arch has proved to be very effective in controlling lower incisor flaring. This case report shows that the insertion of TADs in both arches offers a satisfactory control of the vertical dimension, by avoiding a m...

Correction of mandibular deviation and maxillary occlusal canting with mandibular “early” surgery and microscrews: Two case reports
Publication date: Available online 25 April 2019Source: International OrthodonticsAuthor(s): Fernando de la Iglesia, Anna Lopez, Javier Mareque, Javier Gutierrez, André Walter, Andreu PuigdollersSummaryFacial asymmetry is a common complaint in patients with facial concerns. Some patients have mandibular asymmetries that have light maxillary cant compensation due to a reduced gingival exposure. A common treatment in facial asymmetries is bimaxillary surgery treatment. However, there are no cases of non-severe occlusal plane canting (OPC) with mandibular asymmetry treated with mandibular surgery and miniscrews for the extru...

Psychological impact of orthodontic treatment on quality of life – A longitudinal study
ConclusionsLe traitement orthodontique a eu un impact psychologique positif car l’estime de soi et l’interaction sociale des individus ont été améliorées significativement. Les scores mesurant la qualité de vie des cas ayant reçu un traitement orthodontique ont changé significativement dans les domaines fonctionnels et esthétiques. La gravité de la malocclusion a un impact négatif sur la qualité de vie et une amélioration significative de la qualité de vie a été observée avant et après traitement orthodontique indépendamment du sexe.

Influence of conventional and skeletal anchorage system supported fixed functional appliance on maxillo-mandibular complex and temporomandibular joint: A preliminary comparative cone beam computed tomography study
ConclusionSAS-FFA is an effective combination, which brings favourable changes on maxillo-mandibular complex and temporomandibular joint with non-significant relapse in comparison to FFA at one-year post-treatment.RésuméObjectifL’appareil fonctionnel fixe (FFA) utilisé dans le traitement des malocclusions de classe II, conduit à une vestibuloversion des incisives mandibulaires, limitant ainsi l’effet squelettique de l’appareil. Pour contrer cet effet secondaire, le FFA est appuyé dans la région antérieure mandibulaire sur un système d’ancrage osseux. Cette étude pilote avait pour objectif de comparer les e...
