ABSTRACT Tooth transposition is one of the most difficult dental anomalies to treat in the dental clinic. Several factors must be taken into account with a view of making the best decision. The aim of this study was to discuss treatment modalities for tooth transposition, their advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, it aims at presenting a clinical case of transposition between canine and lateral incisor in the upper quadrant on the right side. The treatment of choice was extraction of one transposed tooth. A multidisciplinary approach involving Orthodontics, Cosmetic Dentistry, and Periodontology was necessary to all...

Extruded upper first molar intrusion: Comparison between unilateral and bilateral miniscrew anchorage
Conclusion: Unilateral forces promoted higher stress in root apex and higher dental tipping. The bilateral forces promoted better distribution without evidence of dental tipping. Bilateral intrusion technique suggested lower probability of root apex resorption.RESUMO Objetivos: o presente estudo teve como objetivo avaliar, por meio da An álise de Elementos Finitos, as tensões geradas por forças ortodônticas intrusivas em um molar superior e no osso alveolar circundante. Métodos: um segmento maxilar foi modelado no software SolidWorks 2010 (SolidWorks Corporation, Waltham, MA, EUA), contendo: osso cortical e medula...

Relationship between mandibular symphysis dimensions and mandibular anterior alveolar bone thickness as assessed with cone-beam computed tomography
Conclusion: For mandibular anterior teeth, the apical alveolar bone and lingual alveolar bone tended to be thicker in patients with a wide and short symphysis, compared to those with a narrow and long symphysis. Buccal alveolar bone was, in general, very thin and did not show a significant relationship with most symphysis dimensions.RESUMO Objetivo: o objetivo desse artigo foi avaliar a correla ção entre as dimensões da sínfise e a espessura do osso alveolar (EOA) na região anterior da mandíbula. Métodos: imagens de tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC) de 51 pacientes foram selecionadas e medidas. A...

Evaluation of miniscrew angulation in the posterior maxilla using cone-beam computed tomographic image
Conclusions: Changes in the insertion angle is not a determinant factor in the positioning of miniscrews body in regions with larger interradicular space in posterior maxilla.RESUMO Objetivo: o presente estudo objetivou avaliar se altera ções no ângulo de inserção do miniparafuso são um fator decisivo para a adaptação do corpo do parafuso em áreas com espaço inter-radicular aumentado, na região posterior da maxila. Métodos: foram realizadas análises em 60 quadrantes maxilares posteriores, a partir de imagens obtidas p or tomografia computadorizada de feixe cônico (TCFC), com voxel de 0,076 mm, as quais a...

Stability of the anterior arm of three different Hyrax hybrid expanders: an in vitro study
Conclusions: The present study shows the importance of a rigid design of the different components of HHEs, and also that HHEs would be s uitable for maxillary expansion in adolescents and young adults, since its mean expansion forces exceed 120N. Furthermore, early abutment detachment or smaller mini-implants diameter would only be appropriate for children.RESUMO Introdu ção: a força aplicada sobre os dentes por expansores ortopédicos fixos já foi estudada antes, mas não a força aplicada sobre os mini-implantes ortodônticos (MIOs) usados para expandir a maxila com expansores do tipo Hyrax híbrido (EHH). Objetiv...

Decoronation followed by dental implants placement: fundamentals, applications and explanations
ABSTRACT Dental arches areas with teeth presenting dentoalveolar ankylosis and replacement root resorption can be considered as presenting normal bone, in full physiological remodeling process; and osseointegrated implants can be successfully placed. Bone remodeling will promote osseointegration, regardless of presenting ankylosis and/or replacement root resorption. After 1 to 10 years, all dental tissues will have been replaced by bone. The site, angulation and ideal positioning in the space to place the implant should be dictated exclusively by the clinical convenience, associated with previous planning. One of the advan...

High-intensity laser application in Orthodontics
Conclusion: Despite the many applications for lasers in Orthodontics, they are still underused by Brazilian practitioners. However, it is quite likely that this demand will increase over the next years - following the trend in the USA, where laser therapies are more widely used.

Compensatory Class III malocclusion treatment associated with mandibular canine extractions
ABSTRACT Skeletal Class III malocclusions are ideally treated with orthodontic-surgical approaches. However, if there are no significant soft tissue implications and the patient does not want to undergo orthognatic surgery, other treatment options may be considered. The current case report describes a compensatory alternative for Class III malocclusion treatment, by means of mandibular canine extractions. This treatment alternative provided facial profile and occlusal improvement, which remains stable seven years posttreatment.RESUMO As m ás oclusões esqueléticas de Classe III são idealmente tratadas com intervenções...

Nonsurgical treatment for a severe anterior and lateral open bite and multiple congenitally missing teeth: a case report with 4-year follow-up
ABSTRACT This case report describes the treatment of a severe anterior and lateral open bite combined with multiple congenitally missing teeth. A 10-year-old girl presented with an open gonial angle, absence of lip sealing, and soft tissue pogonion retrusion. She had an open bite of 8.5 mm, agenesis of the upper right and left lateral incisors and the upper left first premolar, and transverse maxillary deficiency. Nonsurgical treatment was planned aiming at controlling the vertical pattern, establishing the correct overbite, and closing the spaces on the upper arch, to provide satisfactory occlusion and facial and dental e...
