An efficient and noncompliant method for forced eruption with microimplants that is bracket free, and its long-term
Journal of the American Dental Association (1939)
|April 29, 2019
Summary
This study presents a bracket-free forced eruption technique using microimplants for anterior teeth. The method requires no patient compliance and showed minimal relapse after 1.5 years.
Area of Science:
- Orthodontics
- Dental Implantology
Background:
- Describes a novel bracket-free forced eruption technique.
- Utilizes microimplants for anchorage, eliminating the need for patient compliance.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate the efficacy and long-term stability of a bracket-free forced eruption technique using microimplants.
- To report on the relapse rates after a 1.5-year follow-up period.
Main Methods:
- Applied forced eruption to carious and fractured anterior tooth roots in two patients.
- Employed cantilever wires and microimplants (6-7 mm anchorage) for root extrusion.
- Monitored outcomes over a 1.5-year period.
Main Results:
- Achieved successful forced eruption of anterior tooth roots.
- Observed minimal relapse of approximately 0.5 mm in both cases at the 1.5-year follow-up.
Conclusions:
- The microimplant-assisted forced eruption technique is simple, requires no patient compliance, and allows precise tooth movement.
- Strategies like long retention, overcorrection, and delayed prosthetic crown cementation can manage potential relapse.

Protons and neutrons, collectively called nucleons, are packed together tightly in a nucleus. With a radius of about 10−15 meters, a nucleus is quite small compared to the radius of the entire atom, which is about 10−10 meters. Nuclei are extremely dense compared to bulk matter, averaging 1.8 × 1014 grams per cubic centimeter. If the earth’s density were equal to the average nuclear density, the earth’s radius would be only about 200 meters.

Electricity is generated by either electrons or ions flowing through a solution or a conducting medium. This flow of electrons or specifically electrical charge is defined as an electric current. When electrons move through a wire, they generate an electric current. It can be recalled that in a redox reaction, electrons are lost and gained. In the spontaneous redox reaction of zinc with copper, when zinc is immersed in a copper ion solution, a transfer of electrons from one substance to...

Intact DNA strands can be found in fossils, while scientists sometimes struggle to keep RNA intact under laboratory conditions. The structural variations between RNA and DNA underlie the differences in their stability and longevity. Because DNA is double-stranded, it is inherently more stable. The single-stranded structure of RNA is less stable but also more flexible and can form weak internal bonds. Additionally, most RNAs in the cell are relatively short, while DNA can be up to 250 million...

96.4K
Intermolecular forces (IMF) are electrostatic attractions arising from charge-charge interactions between molecules. The strength of the intermolecular force is influenced by the distance of separation between molecules. The forces significantly affect the interactions in solids and liquids, where the molecules are close together. In gases, IMFs become important only under high-pressure conditions (due to the proximity of gas molecules). Intermolecular forces dictate the physical properties of...

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

The time response of a linear time-invariant (LTI) system can be divided into transient and steady-state responses. The transient response represents the system's initial reaction to a change in input and diminishes to zero over time. In contrast, the steady-state response is the behavior that persists after the transient effects have faded.
The stability of an LTI system is determined by the roots of its characteristic equation, known as poles. A system is stable if it produces a bounded...
