Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

New ZeroExpander designs effectively treat hypomineralised teeth in children. These modified devices preserve tooth integrity and achieve programmed expansion, addressing challenges in orthodontic treatment for hypomineralisation of the first permanent molars (MIH) and second deciduous molars (HSPM).

Area of Science:

  • Paediatric Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Hypomineralisation of the first permanent molars (MIH) and second deciduous molars (HSPM) are prevalent in children.
  • Transverse palatal deficits often require early orthodontic intervention in this age group.
  • Hypomineralised teeth present challenges for conventional orthodontic appliance engagement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce three novel ZeroExpander designs tailored for orthodontic treatment of hypomineralised teeth.
  • To address the specific needs of patients with MIH and/or HSPM requiring palatal expansion.

Main Methods:

  • Customized ZeroExpanders were digitally designed and fabricated from technopolymer.
  • Devices incorporate overlay bands for hypomineralised teeth and bioactive cements for enamel remineralisation.
  • Light forces applied via a pre-programmed, automatic expansion framework.
  • Three designs presented: MIH & HSPM, MIH only, HSPM only; successful case of MIH treatment illustrated.

Main Results:

  • Modified ZeroExpanders successfully preserve the integrity of hypomineralised teeth, including those in the lower arch.
  • The digital workflow is efficient and effective.
  • Achieved programmed expansion comparable to standard ZeroExpanders.

Conclusions:

  • Modified ZeroExpanders offer a viable solution for orthodontic expansion in patients with hypomineralised teeth.
  • The devices facilitate enamel remineralisation and maintain tooth structure.
  • Effective and efficient treatment outcomes are achievable with these specialized appliances.
