Novel Unilateral Dental Expander Appliance (UDEX): A Compound Innovative Materials

Abstract

True unilateral posterior crossbite in adults is a challenging malocclusion to treat, especially when we need to correct cross-arch segments with unwanted effects on non-cross segments. Conventional expansion methods are expected to have some shortcomings; the Unilateral dental expander appliance used to restore unilateral cross bite dental arch is an uncommon appliance; for this, a designed new device is needed. This paper aimed to invite a new unilateral dental expander appliance (UDEX) to treat unilateral dental posterior crossbite in adults using available dental material, easy to use and handle, well tolerated by the patient, and biocompatible with oral structure. It could find that in all dental markets and dental clinics-an eighteen-year-old female with bilateral crossbite and upper and lower dental arch crowding. During active orthodontic treatment, a quad-helix expander had broken from one side at soldering between band and wire attachment. The patient did not show up to the clinic for a while due to COVID 19 pandemic lockdown, leading to a true unilateral crossbite at the dental arch's upper left side, especially at the molar premolars area. This unilateral cross bite was treated using a new specially designed expanded appliance as a unilateral posterior cross bite dental maxillary expander. As a result of this study, orthodontic treatment was finished within (15) months, much less than expected. We obtained Class I molar and canine relationships with uncrossed dental arches in both upper arch sides, proper overbite and overjet with well-leveled and aligned teeth as it confirmed by clinical examination and radiographic images (OPG (Orthopantomogram) and cephalometric radiograph (WebCeph analysis digitalized computer program). Conclude from that, the newly designed unilateral dental expander (UDEX) is proven to be useful for treating real unilateral posterior crossbites as single molar or premolar tooth and multiple joint unilateral crossed posterior teeth. Also, it could easily modify it for future unilateral crossed purposes. This appliance was fabricated using readily available dental

“…The BC is a spread ledger capable of ongoing a transactions immutable log occurring in a system. Nowadays (Alhayani and Abdallah 2020; Alhayani and llha 2021;Al-Hayani and Ilhan 2020), BC has engrossed substantial interest in research regions outside the financial sector such as IoT using its characteristics of decentralization, security, and auditability though, despite the attempts there seems to be a lacking relation towards constructing a actually reorganized (Kwekha- Rashid et al 2021;Hasan and Alhayani 2021;Yahya et al 2021), unworthy and protected environment for the IoT (Sathiyanathan et al 2020;Dorri et al 2016). The IoT devices arrayed with their existing username password combination for the authentication purpose (Abu-Rumman 2021; Abu-Rumman et al 2021).…”

“…Therefore, it becomes vulnerable to attack and can be controlled. By use of the Peer-to-peer topology, the data were stored in the public ledger and managed automatically (Kwekha- Rashid et al 2021;Hasan and Alhayani 2021). In BC technology, transactions are in the block form among IoT nodes.…”

Whole Genome Sequence Analysis of SARS-COV-2 Isolated from COVID-19 Patients in Duhok Province, Iraq

“…The virus's virulence and pathogenicity in addition the evolutionary connections between hosts and viruses could also be studied via genome sequencing (4). Rapid country-to-country transmission of SARS-CoV-2 has raised questions regarding whether virus mutations are to reason for the spreading (5,6,7). Random mutations occur because SARS-CoV-2, an RNA virus, lacks a "proofreading" mechanism as it multiplies.…”

The success rate of mini‐screws for incisors intrusion and patient age, gender, and insertion angle in the maxilla using CBCT and implant‐guided surgery. A split‐mouth, randomized control trail

“…In the last three decades, digital technologies reshaped the aspects of dentomaxillofacial diagnostic and functioning tools that have significantly improved the clinical approach used for patients in need of surgery including dental implantology 6–10 . The innovations of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) have allowed for the preoperative evaluation of volumetric data on hard tissue (jaw bones and teeth), as well as for the identification of important anatomical structures that could influence the placement of the dental implant.…”
