Material and method: 362 adolescents were included in the study; 180 boys between the age 11.5–15.5, 182 girls between the age 10.5–14.5. To assess teeth in OPG Demirjian’s classification was used. We assessed teeth 43, 44, 45 and 47 in the mandible, and 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18 in the maxilla. To assess radiographs of the hand and wrist Björk, Grave and Brown classification was applied. Results: The correlation of skeletal and dental age was proved. The highest correlation was found in lower permanent canine, both in girls and boys. S-stage in radiograph of the hand (the stage prior to the maximum growth spurt) corresponds to the stage of the lower canine root with parallel walls (G-stage according to Demirjian). Thus, in case OPG of lower permanent canine shows parallel walls of the root canal the maximum of growth spurt occurs within 0.5–1 year. The maximum growth spurt (MP3cap stage) and the following stages correspond to the situation when lower canine apex is closed (H-stage according to Demirjian). This can help us in the correct timing of orthodontic treatment.

The change was significantly bigger in the group with self-ligating brackets. The change in intercanine width between T2 and T1 was statistically significant only in the group with self-ligating brackets when measured on canine tips. Measurements at FA points (the most prominent point in the middle of longitudinal axis of the clinical crown) did not prove significant change. At WALA the change between T2 and T1 was significant only in the group with self-ligating brackets and only in first lower molars (clinically the change was small). The change in the distance WALA-FA in first lower molars on the left and on the right between T2 and T1 was statistically significant in both groups, however, it was significantly bigger in the group with self-ligating brackets.

We compared initial forces, and particularly the relationship between their force degradation over aɸperiod of time. Material and method: 500 latex elastics 3/16“ medium from Dentaurum, American Orthodontics, 3M, Ortho Organizers and G & H Orthodontics (100 of each) were tested. Force was measured with dynamometer at time 0, 2, 8, 24 and 48 hours. Elastics were stretched to triple of their original diameter and they were placed onto the plate manufactured by us. The plate was produced with 3D printer. Then everything was put into an incubator at the temperature of 37 °C and constant humidity. Shapiro-Wilk normality tests, ANOVA and Bonferroni’sɸpost-hoc tests were used for statistical evaluation. Individual manufacturers were asked whether they know in which plants exactly the elastic tractions are produced. Unfortunately, they did not answer the question. Results: The average initial force was between 1.109 N and 1.550 N; elastics made by Dentaurum were closest to the declared force of 1.255 N. The force decreased most during the first two hours. Between the individual producers the decrease of elastic tractions during 24 hours oscillated between 20 and 33%. The greatest drop in force was recorded for American Orthodontics products. The smallest decrease was recorded between 2nd and 8th hour for 3M, and between 24th and 48th hour for OrthoOrganizers products. Conclusion: Intermaxillary elastics of 3/16“ medium measured in vitro differ both in the amount of their initial force and in force degradation.

Material and method: From CBCTs of the patients treated between 2015 and 2020 at the Department of Orthodontics of St.Anne’s University Hospital 39 scans with unilateral impacted upper canine were selected. There were 25 palatally impacted canines, 14 vestibularly impacted canines. The parameters measurements were carried out with Invivo6 software after setting of the reference planes. Results: Factors associated with canines impaction were proved, such as shift of the midline towards the affected side (by 0.56–0.68 mm), higher incidence of peg shaped lateral incisor (I2) in palatally impacted canines, narrower palate on the side of impacted canine (by 1 mm in palatally and 2 mm in vestibularly impacted canine). In vestibularly impacted canines lateral incisors (I2) were significantly more distally inclined (by 10.3°), in palatally impacted canines lateral incisors (I2) were distorotated by 14.1°and retruded by 7.2°. In vestibularly impacted canines the roots of I2 were shortened by almost 2 mm, in palatally impacted canines by 1 mm. On the side of impacted canines we found higher incidence of bent roots (51.3%) and hooks (12.8%); I2 bent roots were more frequent on the side of palatally impacted canines (32%). Conclusion: The study findings could help in early diagnostics – either clinical or radiological – of impacted upper permanent canines, and in adopting the best strategy of treatment. Disturbed development of impacted canines (shorter length, bent root) calls for early detection and timely orthodontic treatment of the impaction.","PeriodicalId":471594,"journal":{"name":"Ortodoncie","volume":" 63","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135191789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We worked with the relevant databases and eventually selected the 94 most important studies and monographies. In case of vestibular impaction the literature more or less agrees on that the main cause is the lack of space in the dental arch. However, in case of palatal impaction the situation is not so clear. In etiology of palatal impaction there prevail two opinions: genetic theory and guidance theory. Genetic theory sees genetics as the only cause, while guidance theory says impacted canine is the result of deviations in the shape of upper lateral incisor – agenesis, microdontia, peg shaped crown. Thus, lateral incisor cannot take on the role of guiding crest along which canine erupts into the oral cavity. Other potential causes include local obstruction, pathologies, traumas. However, they appear in only a minimum of cases.","PeriodicalId":471594,"journal":{"name":"Ortodoncie","volume":" 67","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135191785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The models were scanned, and in these virtual models mesiodistal and buccolingual parameters of teeth anatomical crowns were measured. The models were divided into groups according to patients’ sex and skeletal class according to WITS. Results: Mesiodistal width was significantly bigger in first premolar (mean= 6.68 mm) than in the second one (mean = 6.43 mm). On the contrary, buccolingual dimension was statistically bigger in second premolars (mean value = 9.67 mm) that in the first one (mean value = 9.48 mm).

Pathological processes (e.g. inflammation or trauma) or even clearly identified causes may lead to blood coagulation in the periodontal fissure and subsequently to the formation of granulation tissue that can gradually ossify. In this way, the periodontal fissure is lost and the root surface fuses with the alveolar bone, i.e. ankylosis [1, 2] (Fig. 1).
