ABSTRACT

Our Objective was to treat a patient having proclined, protruded teeth along with a Class II Skeletal malocclusion. 0.022 × 0.028 inch MBT Brackets were placed, and leveling alignment was commenced. Individual canine retraction was carried out in both arches, followed by retraction of the incisors in the upper arch with a Burrstone's T Loop. E2Z Forsus fatigue resistance appliance was given for the correction of Class II malocclusion. Proclination, protrusion, and crowding were corrected along with Class II Skeletal base. Individual canine retraction along with frictionless mechanics and noncompliant functional correction has sufficient potential to prevent anchor loss and correct a Class II skeletal base.

ABSTRACT

bTi T-type loops are a frictionless, efficient alternative for extraction space closure. Changes in the upper horizontal portion of T-type loops to improve their mechanical behavior have been proposed, but differences in their biomechanical characteristics have not been well described. This stu dy analyzed the biomechanical differences among three T-type loops with differential bends in their upper horizontal portion. Ninety loops (0.017"x0.025" bTi) were bent and randomly divided in 3 groups according to the form of their upper horizontal portion (Tstraight, M convex, and C-loops concave), to evaluate force characteristics up to 6 mm of activation. Stiffness, maximum horizontal loads, total loop moments, and moment-to-force ratios were obtained. Nonparametric statistical analyses were used to test differences among groups. M-loops demonstrated lower force than T- and C-loops, and higher total loop moment than T-loops. A significant increase in M-loop moment-to-force ratio compared with T- or C-loops was obtained. C- and T-loops did not demonstrate significant differences in moment-to-force ratio between them. The convex upper bend in M-loops produced an increased total loop moment compared with T-loops. M-loops demonstrated moment-to-force values slightly higher than translation values, while the other loops reported only controlled inclination values at 6 mm of activation. M-loops are ideal when a higher control of root movement is indicated since the beginning of dental retraction in segmented arch mechanics.


Las ansas tipo T de bTi son una alternativa eficiente para el cierre de espacios de extracción. Cambios en la porción horizontal de las ansas tipo T se han propuesto para mejorar su comportamiento mecánico, pero sus diferencias con relación a las características biomecánicas no han sido bien descritas. Este estudio analizo las diferencias biomecánicas entre tres ansas tipo T con dobleces diferenciales en su porción horizontal superior. Noventa ansas (0,017"x0,025" bTi) fueron dobladas y divididas en tres grupos aleatoriamente, de acuerdo a la forma de su porción horizontal superior (ansas en T recta, M convexa, y C cóncava), para evaluar características de fuerza hasta 6 mm de activación. Rigidez, cargas horizontales máximas, momentos totales del ansa, y razones momento-fuerza fueron obtenidas. Análisis estadísticos no paramétricos se utilizaron para comprobar diferencias entre los grupos. Las ansas en M demostraron una menor fuerza que las ansas en T y C, y momentos totales del ansa mas altos que las ansas en T. Se obtuvo un incremento significativo en la razón momento-fuerza de las ansas en M comparado con las ansas en T o en C. Las ansas en C y T no demostraron diferencias significativas en la razón momento-fuerza entre si. El doblez convexo superior en las ansas en M produjo un momento del ansa total incrementado comparado con las ansas en T. Las ansas en M mostraron valores de momento-fuerza ligeramente mas altos que los valores para translación, mientras que las otras ansas solo reportaron valores para inclinación controlada a 6 mm de activación. Las ansas en M son ideales cuando un control alto de movimiento radicular esta indicado desde en comienzo de la retracción dental en mecánicas de arco segmentado.
