Fifty all-ceramic crowns were fabricated using 50 standardized dies divided into five groups, each group representing one impression system. Each crown was cemented onto its respective model and sectioned into four segments. The marginal and internal fit were measured at 8 predefined points. A total of 1567 measurements were made, statis- tically analyzed and compared with crowns fabricated using the five systems. The following was found: (1) No significant difference was found with regard to mar- ginal gap when comparing the control group to any of the digital systems. (2) Lava™ had smaller marginal gaps than CEREC® and iTero®, (3) CEREC and Lava had smaller gaps in the chamfer compared to iTero and the control, (4) E4D® showed smaller gaps than CE- REC at measuring points 4-8 and CEREC a smaller gap at point 2, (5) Lava showed smaller

Nagda1, Dr. Uma B. Dixit2 1Post-graduate student, Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, DY Patil University – School of Dentistry, Navi Mumbai, India 2Professor and Head,Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, DY Patil University – School of Dentistry, Navi Mumbai, India Corresponding Author: Dr. Shreya C. Nagda Abstract:Malocclusion poses a great burden worldwide. Persistent oral habits bring about alteration in the activity of orofacial muscles. Non-nutritive sucking habits are shown to cause anterior open bite and posterior crossbite. Abnormal tongue posture and tongue thrust swallow result in proclination of maxillary anterior teeth and openbite. Mouth breathing causes incompetence of lips, lowered position of tongue and clockwise rotation of the mandible. Early diagnosis and treatment of the orofacial myofunctional disorders render great benefits by minimizing related malocclusion and reducing possibility of relapse after orthodontic treatment. Myofunctional appliances or pre orthodontic trainers are new types of prefabricated removable functional appliances claimed to train the orofacial musculature; thereby correcting malocclusion. This review aimed to search literature for studies and case reports on effectiveness of pre-orthodontic trainers on early correction of developing malocclusion. Current literature renders sufficient evidence that these appliances are successful in treating Class II malocclusions especially those due to mandibular retrusion. Case reports on Class I malocclusion have reported alleviation of anterior crowding, alignment of incisors and correction of deep bite with pre-orthodontic trainers.

  • Early Transverse Treatment Steven D
    Early Transverse Treatment Steven D. Marshall, Karin A. Southard, and Thomas E. Southard Expansion of the maxillary arch to improve transverse inter-arch relationships during the primary or mixed dentition stage is considered early transverse treatment as part of a two-phase treatment protocol. Traditionally, early expansion has been used to correct posterior crossbite. More recently, it has been suggested that early transverse treatment may be beneficial, in the absence of posterior crossbite, to improve arch length deficiency, and to facilitate correction of skeletal class II malocclusions. In this article, the rationale for early transverse treatment in the presence and absence of posterior crossbite is reviewed. Semin Orthod 11:130–139 © 2005 Elsevier Inc.

Eight patients with Class 11 skeletal open bite were treated with the high-pull activator appliance and compared to reasonably matched controls to determine the effects of the appliance. The high-pull activator was found to reduce forward growth of the maxilla and increase mandibular alveolar height, transforming the Class II molar relationship into a Class ! molar relationship. The overjet atid open bite were decreased, and, in addition, the appliance reduced the amount of forward and downward movement of the maxillary molars, providing vertical control of the maxilla during Class II ortho- pedic correction. These results demonstrated that open bite complicated by a Class 11 vertical growth pattern can be treated during the mixed dentition with favorable results by a combination of a removable functional appliance and high-pull headgear, (Quintessence Int 1992,-23:323-333.)

  • Treatment Effects of the Bionator and High-Pull Facebow Combination Followed by fixed Appliances in Patients with Increased Vertical Dimensions
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Treatment effects of the bionator and high-pull facebow combination followed by fixed appliances in patients with increased vertical dimensions Christopher S. Freeman,a James A. McNamara, Jr,b Tiziano Baccetti,c Lorenzo Franchi,d and Theodore W. Graffe Ann Arbor, Mich, Fort Lauderdale, Fla, Florence, Italy, and Endicott, NY Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a first phase of bionator and high-pull facebow treatment followed by a second phase of fixed appliance therapy in growing subjects with increased vertical dimensions. Methods: The records of 24 subjects with high-angle skeletal relationships (mean MPA value ϳ30°) treated consecutively with this protocol were examined. Cephalometric measure- ments were compared with those obtained from 23 sets of records of an untreated group matched according to age, gender, vertical skeletal relationships, and time intervals between records. The matched group of patients was from the University of Michigan Elementary and Secondary School Growth Study. Lateral cephalograms were analyzed prior to the start of treatment (T1, mean age 9.1 years), at the start of phase 2 treatment (T2, mean age 11.9 years), and after phase 2 treatment (T3, mean age 14.7 years). The total treatment duration (phase 1, retention, and phase 2) for the treated group was 5.5 years, whereas the control group total time interval averaged 5.6 years. Results: As to sagittal relationships, no significant differences were found between treated subjects and controls at the end of the 2-phase treatment for all measurements. Counterintuitively, the bionator and high-pull headgear combination worsened the hyperdivergent facial pattern at a clinically significant level, as shown by analysis of final facial forms.

D. Dental College and Hospital, Mathura, India1,2,3 [email protected] Abstract: Malocclusion Functional appliances or myofunctional appliances are referred to appliances that depend upon the oro facial musculature for their action. These appliances transmit, eliminate or guide the natural forces of the musculature and are used to alter the mandibular position in the Sagittal, Vertical and Transverse plane resulting in Orthopedic and Orthodontic change. They are designed to alter the activity of various muscle groups that influence the function and position of the mandible in order to transmit forces to the dentition and the basal bone. Functional appliances are given in the management of skeletal class II malocclusion and Class III malocclusion in growing children. They are also called “GROWTH MODIFYING APPLIANCES” and “INTERCEPTIVE APPLIANCES. They are used for growth modification procedures that are aimed at intercepting and treat in jaw discrepancies by increase or decrease in jaw size, change in spatial relationship of the jaws, change in direction of growth of the jaws and acceleration of desirable growth. A new pattern of function dictated by the appliance leads to development of corresponding new morphologic pattern. The new morphologic pattern includes a different arrangement of the teeth within the jaws, an improvement of the occlusion and an altered relation of jaws.
