The Prophylactic Orthodontic Treatment with Removable Appliances in Children

Abstract

Childhood and adolescence include periods of growth in which the pediatrician meets multiple challenges in terms of cooperation, compliance with treatment, and the patient�s family, thus constituting the pedodontic triangle. The importance of long-term patient monitoring should not be neglected, especially for those in the stage of growth and development of temporary or permanent dentition, when a real cascade of bad events can be triggered. Mobile dental appliances with the indication to be worn both day and night, less during meals and when tooth cleaning is taking place. They are used for a relatively short period as part of a wider treatment plan. The efficiency of an orthodontic appliance is appreciated by the possibilities it offers to reach the desired result in a minimum treatment time, without affecting the biological integrity of the substrate on which it operates. Ortodontic mobilisable devices used to correct dento-maxillary abnormalities, requires plates with orthodontic force, retention and anchoring. If these are used as contention devices, is needed only retention. Study group regards the selection, examination and orthodontic treatment of 46 cases at the Orthodontic Clinic of the University of Medicine and Pharmacy T�rgu Mure� between 2014-2016.The study deals with the theoretical aspects regarding biomechanics and the principles of orthodontic treatment and at the same time represents a synthetic exposure characteristics of the orthodontic devices, considering the development of new techniques. Orthodontic treatment begins in childhood, around the age of 6 years old or when the child has 4-6 milk teeth, when we already can see problems in growing of jaw and permanent teeth.

Antimicrobial and Mechanical Properties of Orthodontic Acrylic Resin Containing Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles Supported on 4A Zeolite

“…The present study evaluated the incorporation of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide nanoparticles supported on the 4A zeolite to cold-curing PMMA and investigated the antibacterial and mechanical properties following characterization. Orthodontic treatments with the diagnosis and treatment of maxillofacial abnormalities play an essential role in creating the esthetic, function, and morphology of the craniofacial area in children and adults [ 19 , 20 ]. Removable orthodontic appliances are widely used to treat dental and skeletal problems in the ages of 6 to 12 years, which coincides with the mixed dental ages.…”

Assessment of Oral Hygiene Status by Using Disclosing Agents to Schoolchildren from Rural Areas

“…We have not included within the study children with orthodontic treatment because both the removable appliances ( made of thermoplastic and thermo set resins) as well as fixed appliance and auxiliary elements (hyrax, distaliser, myofunctional trainer) favorizes additional retention of bacterial plaque. Also, the component elements of orthodontic appliances on the vestibular surface of the teeth make it impossible to determine the OHI-S Index [21][22][23].…”

The Use of Diacrylic Resins in Dental Restorations

“…Of utmost importance are the quality of the polymerization process and the shrinkage of the outlet, two issues that are currently unresolved in the treatment of odontal lesions with DCR [18][19][20][21][22][23]. The objective of the research is to evaluate the marginal microinfiltrations in composite resin restorations, depending on different restorative techniques at the level of the class II cavities.…”
