Teeth

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

Anchoring Junctions

Anchoring Junctions

Anchoring junctions are multiprotein complexes that help cells connect to other cells and the extracellular matrix. Anchoring junctions are present on the lateral and basal surfaces of cells, providing strong and flexible connections. Focal adhesions are often formed due to cell interactions with the ECM substrata, which initiate signal transduction via kinase cascades and other mechanisms. Together, they provide stability and tissue integrity. There are three types of anchoring junctions:...

Area of Science:

Orthodontics
Biomaterials Science
Translational Medicine

Background:

Mini-screw implants (MIs) are increasingly utilized as skeletal anchorage in orthodontics.
Understanding the clinical and laboratory aspects of MI use is crucial for optimizing treatment outcomes.
Potential iatrogenic effects associated with MI placement require thorough investigation and mitigation strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

To elucidate the clinical and laboratory findings of mini-screw implant research in orthodontic applications.
To demonstrate the efficacy of MIs as skeletal anchorage for Class II bimaxillary correction.
To investigate potential side-effects of MI placement using a translational animal model.

Main Methods:

Review of clinical and laboratory data from MI research at Baylor College of Dentistry.
Application of a consistent MI type and placement protocol for Class II malocclusion correction.
Utilization of a translational animal model to assess MI placement-related side-effects.

Main Results:

Successful and consistent clinical outcomes were achieved with the use of MIs for skeletal anchorage.
A translational research model provided data to develop a placement protocol mitigating iatrogenic trauma.
Absolute skeletal anchorage with MIs facilitates successful correction of Class II bimaxillary protrusion to Class I occlusion.

Conclusions:

Mini-screw implants are a viable option for achieving absolute skeletal anchorage in orthodontic treatment.
Meticulous treatment planning and precise placement protocols are essential to prevent significant damage and ensure healing.
The developed placement protocol effectively minimizes risks associated with MI insertion, leading to successful orthodontic results.
