Aim: This in vitro study investigates the limit of expansion forces and torque wrench developed by five skeletal bone expander designs (MICRO 2/4 expanders™) for clinical application. Material Methods: A total 30 expanders were placed artificial blocks mechanically tested, simulating maxillary expansion. Differences jackscrew (Dentaurum™ [D], Superscrew™ [S] Powerscrew™ [P]), number orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs; two or four) their placement inclinations (parallel 0° 10° inclination) form...
Abstract Introduction Bone-borne miniscrew assisted palatal expansion (MAPE) is a common technique to improve maxillary transverse deficiency in young adolescents. Adult patients usually present challenge, as they often require additional surgical (SARPE). There still no clear statement about non-surgical adult using this technique. The aim of study was evaluate the success and complication rate adults utilizing MAPE with novel force-controlled polycyclic protocol (FCPC). Methods This...
Background: Biodegradable implants have not been used on a large scale for internal fixation of mandibular fractures because presumed inferior mechanical properties. This prospective clinical trial was designed to elucidate the stability and biocompatibility self-reinforced poly-L/D-lactide plates screws stabilize variety mandible by open reduction fixation. Methods: Sixty-six consecutive patients (22 female, 44 male; mean age, 23.9 years) with total 89 at various sites were included in...
The aim was to test which component [wire arm, connecting abutment attachment, and orthodontic mini-implant (OMI)] of the force-transmitting system (FTS) in anterior palate three commonly used hybrid expanders (HEs; WILMES-HE, LUDWIG-HE, WINSAUER-HE) deforms under increasing load.Crude single double wire arms were tested individually. Non-opening maxillae halves simulated artificial bone blocks with FTS specimens. OMIs inserted 8mm underwent 6mm continuous static lateral loading. Deformation...
