ABSTRACT
La ausencia de un diente puede originar sobre-erupción de su antagonista debido al movimiento fisiológico. Distintos métodos se han empleado para lograr la rehabilitación en espacios interoclusales reducidos, la mayoría implica un tallado del diente antagonista o incluso la extracción dental. La intrusión dental periodontalmente asistida (corticotomía), es una alternativa terapéutica en la que el tallado del diente extruido ya no es necesario, conservando su integridad coronaria. Reporte de caso: Paciente femenino de 56 años con ausencia del 4.7, además presenta sobre-erupción del 1.7, limitando el espacio interoclusal y su rehabilitación. Se realizó intrusión del 1.7 mediante corticotomía con el Piezoeléctrico (técnica Piezocision) así como la colocación de minitornillos de ortodoncia para anclaje. Obtenido dicho espacio interoclusal, se rehabilitó con un implante dental. Conclusiones: La intrusión de molares con el apoyo de mini-implantes y corticotomías es un procedimiento que tiene como beneficio la creación de un espacio interoclusal para su restauración en un periodo corto de tiempo, sin tallar la estructura dentaria.
The absence of a tooth can cause over-eruption of its antagonist due to a physiological movement. Different methods have been used to achieve rehabilitation in reduced interocclusal spaces. Most of them involve the wear of the opposing tooth or even dental extraction. Periodontal-assisted dental intrusion is a therapeutic alternative that does not require the reduction of the extruded tooth and preserves its structure. Case report: 56-year-old female patient with absence of tooth 4.7, also presenting an over-eruption of 1.7, limiting the interocclusal space and rehabilitation. Intrusion of tooth 1.7 was performed with corticotomy using the piezocision technique and placement of mini-screws followed by the placement of a dental implant. Conclusions: The intrusion of molars aided by orthodontic mini-screws and piezocision technique is an effective treatment, whose benefit is the creation of an ideal prosthetic space in a short period of time, avoiding the reduction of dental structure.
ABSTRACT
Background: Orthodontic anchorage is a technique used to avoid undesired tooth movement. The miniature screw (mini-screw) implant is an orthodontic innovation that was introduced to circumvent the limitations of conventional anchorage systems. Mini-screws, known as temporary anchorage devices (TADs), give clinicians good control over tooth movement in 3 dimensions and can assist orthodontists in anchorage-demanding cases.Methods: A questionnaire was distributed by online survey using SurveyMonkey and on paper during orthodontic meetings in Saudi Arabia. Collected data were analyzed using SPSS statistical software (version 23, IBM). A 2-way cross-tabulation and Fisher’s exact or Pearson chi-square tests were used to evaluate statistically significant differences. A P-value < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.Results: Of 133 respondents, 72 (54.1%) of practitioners worked in the governmental sector and 61 (45.9%) worked in the private sector. A total of (87.3%) of practitioners in the governmental sector and (80%) of practitioners in the private sector reported using mini-screws in clinical practice. Practitioners who reported that they did not use mini-screws in clinical practice listed the following reasons: “I don’t have enough information” (33.3%), “It’s a surgeon’s job” (11.1%), “Not available in the hospital” (29.6%), and “Other” (25.9%). A total of 60.2% of practitioners loaded mini-screws immediately, 8.3% loaded them 1 week after implantation, 11.3% loaded them 2-3 weeks after implantation, and 3.8% loaded them >3 weeks after implantation. Regarding the method of placement, 63.2% of practitioners used radiography for placement guidance/confirmation, 9.8% used a self-made guide, and 8.3% did not use a guide.Conclusions: Lack of education and training are major reasons that practitioners do not use orthodontic mini-screws in Saudi Arabia. Increased efforts to organize seminars and workshops may motivate practitioners to incorporate mini-screw usage into routine practice.
ABSTRACT
En todos los tratamientos ortodónticos, el primer objetivo a cumplir es alinear y nivelar las piezas dentales. Para tal fin, deberíamos generar espacio dentro del arco dentario. Existen tres procedimientos diferentes para lograr este objetivo, según el grado de apiñamiento dental o Índice de nance, que son los siguientes: a) stripping o desgaste interproximal, b) exodoncia de piezas dentales y c) distalamiento. La distalización de los molares es una de las técnicas más antiguas de la terapéutica ortodóntica y se han empleado distintos recursos terapéuticos para tal fin, como pendulum, jig de jans, first class, entre otros; cada uno con sus ventajas y desventajas. La introducción de los mini-implantes dentro de nuestra especialidad ha revolucionado en forma drástica los conceptos de anclaje, brindándonos movimientos dentarios sin generar efectos colaterales indeseables. El objetivo de este caso clínico, es mostrar la utilización de un Orthorama modificado y mini-implantes como distaladores de los molares superiores (AU)

Los microimplantes son pequeños pines de titanio o de aleación de titanio de 1,2 mm de diámetro y 6 mm de longitud. Están diseñados con una superficie suave para que no se oseointegren. Son utilizados en Ortodoncia como anclaje temporal. Han sido usados como anclaje esqueletal, también para distalizar y protraer molares, intruir molares e incisivos, para el cierre de espacios edéntulos extensos que con los métodos convencionales en ortodoncia habría sido imposible. Los microimplantes son removidos con relativa facilidad una vez efectuado el procedimiento. Como toda técnica nueva, es importante que los clínicos sepan elegir bien en qué casos van a utilizar los micro implantes y los sitios de su colocación.
The miniimplants are small devices of 1,2 mm of wide and 6 mm of length. Manufactured with a smooth machined surface that is not designed to osseointegrate. In orthodontics they are used as temporary anchorage for molar distalization, protraction and intrusion of molars and incisors. Also for closing wide edentulous spaces once considered impossible with conventional orthodontics.. The miniimplants are easily removed. As with any new technique clinicians should be aware in which cases use this devices and the sites of placing them.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the thickness distribution palatal bone in adolescents and provide a clinical reference for implanting mini-screws.Methods:Cone-beam CT head scan data of palate of 20 adolescent orthodontic patients were measured with NNT Viewer software.60 points of the palate bone on one side were designed as 1 -10 in sagittal direction and as A -F in transvers direction with incisive foramen as the point of A and 0,the distance between each 2 adjacent points was 2 mm.The bone thickness of the 60 points were measured and statistically analyzed.Results:There were no significant differences among B2,B3,C2,C3,D3,E3,E4,F4 and F5(P >0.05).Statistically significant difference was found between F3 and B2 or B3,C2,C3,D3,E3,E4,F4 and F5(P ＜0.05).There was significant difference between D3 and D4(P ＜0.05).Conclusion:The appropriate areas for implanting mini-screws in palate may be about 2 -4 mm near the palatal suture and 4 -6 mm behind incisor canal,and 8 -10 mm near the palatal su-ture,6 -8 mm behind incisor canal.Those regions are safe for implanting mini-screws and can provide about 6 mm bone tissue sup-port.
ABSTRACT
Los mini-implantes son en la actualidad una herramienta ideal para obtener un anclaje máximo y solucionar un sinfín de problemas clínicos ortodóncicos. Son dispositivos fabricados con titanio grado V (Ti-6AI-4V), que los vuelve más resistentes a la fractura y menos propensos a la oseointegración. El siguiente trabajo tuvo como objetivo reunir diversos estudios de la literatura actual sobre los mini-implantes, para facilitar el entendimiento del asunto al ortodoncista clínico y odontólogos interesados en conocer este dispositivo. Este trabajo reunió estudios en relación a los aspectos clínicos y estructurales de los mini-implantes. Se hizo hincapié en los aspectos estructurales de los mini-implantes, ya que la literatura es escasa en este sentido. Se concluyó que los mini-implantes son dispositivos de anclaje temporario muy útiles en el tratamiento ortodóncico. Siguiendo las orientaciones establecidas y confeccionados de materiales estandarizados internacionalmente, los mini-implantes pueden ser usados en forma segura en seres humanos
