Lower incisor position in different malocclusions and facial patterns

Introduction: The position of lower incisor has been of considerable concern when planning an orthodontic treatment, having been recognized as one of diagnostic keys, Very important in the development of malocclusion and facial pattern. Objectives: In this study we claim to determine the importance of the position and inclination of lower incisor in the different malocclusions and facial patterns, and to base which of the cephalometric measurement parametersare the mostreliable. Material and Methods: Ninety lateral radiographies were taken, and they were classified by skeletal malocclusion and facial pattern. These teleradiographies have been performed cephalometric analysis, which include lower incisorposition belong the following analysis: Ricketts, Riolo, Tweed, McHorris, Jarabak-MSE and Holdaway. Study Design: Cross-sectional study where we perform statistical analysis Anova test, Pearson correlations and Bonferroni analysis. Results: The analyzed measurements present a statistically significant differentiation in lower incisor inclination respect to the anterior cranial base, McHorris angle, angulation of lower incisor respect to occlusal plane and mandibular plane. Conclusions: There are statistically significant differentiation in lower incisor position and inclination respect the malocclusion and individual facial pattern (AU)

The segmented arch approach: a method for orthodontic treatment of a severe Class III open-bite malocclusion.

An open bite is a common malocclusion, and it is generally associated with several linked etiologic factors. When establishing the treatment plan, it is essential to consider every aspect of the various etiologic causes and their evolution; this will help to correct it. This article reports the case of a girl aged 10.7 years with a skeletal Class III malocclusion and an open bite. The treatment mechanics were based on compensatory dental changes performed to close the bite and correct the skeletal Class III malocclusion. The patient had a deep maxillary deficiency, and the lower facial third was severely enlarged. In this article, we aimed to describe a simple mechanical approach that will close the bite through changes in the occlusal plane (segmentation of arches). It is an extremely simple method that is easily tolerated by the patient. It not only closes the bite effectively but also helps to correct the unilateral or bilateral lack of occlusal interdigitation between the dental arches. A Class III patient with an anterior open bite is shown in this article to illustrate the effectiveness of these treatment mechanics.

La mordida abierta es una entidad muy frecuente asociada a una etiología multifactorial. De ahí que en el tratamiento haya que considerar todo el recorrido en su aparición, intentando llegar hasta los procesos etiológicos que permitan la corrección de la misma. En este trabajo, presentamos una mecánica sencilla que nos permite, mediante modificaciones en el plano oclusal (segmentación de los arcos), conseguir el cierre de la misma; este método resulta de extrema sencillez y fácilmente tolerable por el paciente. No sólo aporta un sistema eficaz en el cierre, sino una ayuda en la mecánica habitual para corregir situaciones de falta de oclusión parcial, uni o bilateral de las arcadas dentarias (AU)

Open bite is a highly common entity that is associated with a multifactorial etiology. Hence, all the steps involved in its development should be considered in its treatment, attempting to identify the etiological processes that allow this entity to be corrected. in this article, we present a simple mechanism that allows closure to be achieved through changes in the occlusal plane (arch segmentation). This method is extremely simple, and is easily tolerated by the patient. Moreover, this mechanism not only provides an effective system for closure, but also helps to correct situations of uni- or bilateral malocclusion of the dental arches (AU)
