Efficiency of compensatory orthodontic treatment of mild Class III malocclusion with two different bracket systems
Conclusions: Orthodontic brackets designed for compensation of mild Class III malocclusions appear to be more efficient than non-compensated straight-wire prescription brackets. Treatment time for Class III patients treated with brackets designed for compensation was shorter than with Roth prescription and no difference in the quality of the occlusal outcome was observed. A prospective randomized study is suggested to provide a deeper look into this subject.RESUMO Objetivo: o objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar a efici ência do tratamento ortodôntico compensatório de pacientes com má oclusão de Classe III suave usando...

Plaque index and gingival index during rapid maxillary expansion of patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate
Conclusions: Since a single difference between groups was encountered, the results of this study indicated that PI and GI during maxillary expansion were similar between HX and IMHX, sexes and the analyzed age groups. Therefore, orthodontists can use these RME in UCLP patients according to the patient ’ s necessity or their preferences.RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar, durante a expans ão rápida da maxila (ERM), o índice de placa dentária (IP) e o índice gengival (IG) de pacientes com fissura labiopalatina unilateral (FLPU), usando o aparelho disjuntor Hyrax (HX) ou o mini-Hyrax invertido (MHXI), considerando-se também o...

Comparison of airway dimensions in skeletal Class I malocclusion subjects with different vertical facial patterns
Conclusion: It was concluded that nasopharyngeal linear anteroposterior widths in Class I malocclusion brachyfacial are larger than in mesofacial and dolichofacial individuals. The Vert index only explained 25% of the total variability. No correlation was found for the oropharyngeal widths.RESUMO Objetivo: o objetivo desse estudo foi comparar as dimens ões das vias aéreas superiores em indivíduos portadores de má oclusão de Classe I esquelética com diferentes padrões faciais verticais. Métodos: a amostra consistiu de 99 cefalogramas laterais de indivíduos na pós-puberdade (18,19 ± 1,76 anos). O padrão facial...

“Maxillary lateral incisor partial anodontia sequence”: a clinical entity with epigenetic origin
ABSTRACT The relationship between maxillary lateral incisor anodontia and the palatal displacement of unerupted maxillary canines cannot be considered as a multiple tooth abnormality with defined genetic etiology in order to be regarded as a “ syndrome ” . Neither were the involved genes identified and located in the human genome, nor was it presumed on which chromosome the responsible gene would be located. The palatal maxillary canine displacement in cases of partial anodontia of the maxillary lateral incisor is potentially associated with environmental changes caused by its absence in its place of formation and erup...

Writing scientific manuscripts: most common mistakes
ABSTRACT I have had the privilege of serving as editor-in-chief for 11 years of two scientific journals: The Dental Press Journal of Orthodontics and the Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists. I had the opportunity to read and correct thousands of manuscripts. This experience was greatly enriching, because reading a text professionally completely differs from the perspective of readers in general. The routine practice of correcting manuscripts has made me realize that some errors recur frequently. To help authors to improve their manuscripts before submission, these problems are discussed here in the order that ...

Angle’s Class II division 1 associated to mandibular retrusion and skeletal open bite: a 5-year post-orthodontic/orthopedic treatment follow-up
ABSTRACT Obtaining long term stability allied to functional and aesthetic balance is the main goal of any orthodontic-orthopedic therapy. This case report describes the orthodontic therapy applied to a 7-year-9-month old child, who presented a Class II, division 1 malocclusion associated to skeletal open bite. Functional and skeletal corrections (sagittally and vertically) were obtained by means of mandible advancement achieved with a closed Balter ’ s bionator appliance followed by a fixed appliance. This approach showed to be efficient in accomplishing both functional and aesthetic goals, that were kept stable five yea...

Average interradicular sites for miniscrew insertion: should dental crowding be considered?
Conclusions: The average interradicular sites map hereby proposed can be used as a general guide for miniscrew insertion at the very beginning of orthodontic treatment planning. Then, the clinician should consider the amount of crowding: if this is large, the actual interradicular space in some areas might be significantly different from what reported on average. Individualized radiographs for every patient are still recommended.RESUMO Objetivo: elaborar um mapa dos espa ços inter-radiculares nos quais os mini-implantes podem ser inseridos, em um nível coberto por gengiva inserida; e avaliar se existe correlação entr...

Distribution of stress on TMJ disc induced by use of chincup therapy: assessment by the finite element method
Conclusions: stress induced by the chincup therapy is mainly located on the inferior surface of the model. Loads at greater angles to the mandibular plane produced distribution of stresses with lower intensity and a concentration of compressive stresses in the middle region. The simplified three-dimensional model proved useful for assessing the distribution of stresses on the TMJ disc induced by the chincup therapy.RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar, por meio do m étodo dos elementos finitos, a distribuição das tensões no disco articular produzidas pela mentoneira ortopédica. Métodos: um modelo tridimensional simplificado ...

Influence of the cranial base flexion on Class I, II and III malocclusions: a systematic review
Conclusions: A more obtuse angle at the skull base, in association or not with a greater anterior length of the cranial base, can contribute to the development of Class II division 1 malocclusions. On the other hand, a more acute angle at the skull base can contribute to a more anterior positioning of the mandible and to the development of Class III malocclusions.RESUMO Objetivo: o objetivo desse estudo foi realizar uma revis ão sistemática sobre as características morfológicas da base do crânio (flexão, comprimento anterior e comprimento posterior) e o desenvolvimento concomitante da má oclusão, comparando as di...
