A Laser Holographic Interferometry Study on the Forward Traction of the Maxilla——The Study of Biomechanical Effects of Maxillary Protraction along the Sagittal Direction
Objective: To study the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and its receptors during mandible distraction osteogenesis(MDO) through establishing a distraction osteogenesis experimental model in rabbit.
Six rabbits were chosen as control group. Samples were sacrificed at 7th days of latency, 2nd, 4th, 7th day of distraction, and at 1st, 3rd, 6th, 8th week of consolidation. Expression of VEGF and its receptors, fms-like tyrosine kinase (FLT-1) and fetal liver kinase(FLK-1), were detected by immunohistochemistry.
Objective To study the expression of transformating growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) during mandible distraction osteogenesis(MDO) in a novel experimental model of rabbits.
Skeletal Crossbite of Anterior Teeth Treated by Improved Chincap With Lengthwise and Protraction Appliances-Attached Roentgenographic Cephalometric Analysis of 11 Cases
SNA、SNB、SN/MP、U1-FHP、U6-FHP and crowding degree were significantly larger in after treatment group. SNB、L1/NB1、L1/MP、U1/L1 were significantly smaller in after treatment group.
The model of helical motion [4] is used in this paper in considering the influence of the three-dimensional behavior of an adiabatic flow on the flow and traction characteristics of the nozzle.
The PT was shown to correlate with the children's motor activity (0.52), approaching a new subject (0.39), distraction (-0.34), and the age of entering a nursery (-0.35).
In all three cases the distraction lengthening of the fourth metatarsal was performed with an external fixateur system aided by an intramedullary K-wire without any supplemental bone graft.
When, however, the clinical picture is complicated by synostotic plagiocephaly, corrective surgery is necessary, though cervical traction and physiotherapy are essential to provide early and complete cure of the torticollis.
All patients suffering RA were treated by preoperative cervical traction for up to 28 days, and intraoperative traction, to try to restore the malalignment.
After radiologically guided placement in cervical traction with tongs that reduced the subluxation by approximately 50% the patient had spontaneous eye opening and was able to follow commands.
Patients with cleft lip and palate after operation may result in maxillo-facial and occlusial deformity which is a serious problem in the field of cleft lip and palate repair.The function of mastication and appearance are disturbed.The upper dental arch was pulled forward by an extra-oral appliance to prevent the insufficient developed upper jaw and-dental arch which had been fo med after operation of cleft lip.The upper dental arch was expanded by an appliance with expanded spring in order to prevent the n...
The laser holographic interferometry was employed to determine the 3-D minute dis-placement of the maxillary complex of a macerated girl skull with early permanent den-tition.It was pulled forward by a 300gm load at different angle to the occlusal planeas being used in the clinic.These results of biomechanical effects may be presented to the clinicians as guidelines.The results demonstrate that when the maxillary dentition is pulled forward alongthe occlusal plane and obliquely 15°above it,the maxillary is ...
In this article,prevention and early treatment of ten cases with complete cleft lip andpalate after operation using removable appliances are reported.The upper dental arch was expanded slowly using removable appliances with expansi-on spring in order to prevent narrowness of maxilla and dental arch after cleft lip and pal-ate being repaired.The width of both archs was kept harmony,the upper jaw and dentalarch were protracted,the upper anterior teeth were proclined,cross-bite which hadbeen formed after cleft...
