Abstract

Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) with the appliance fixed at the crowns of the first premolars and molars leads not only to transversal expansion but also to tipping of the anchorage teeth and a risk of increased tooth mobility as well as of root and bone resorptions. These disadvantages were to be avoided by fixing the transversal screw directly to the hard palate. Following preliminary experimental work to determine the extent to which the hard palate could be loaded with orthodontic implants, two female patients were treated for extreme transverse maxillary deficiency using a Hyrax expansion screw fixed on one side with an implant with the following dimensions: length 4.0 mm, diameter 3.5 mm, abutment diameter 5.00 mm (EO implant, Straumann, Freiburg i. Br., Germany), and on the other side with a bone screw between the roots of the second premolars and the first molars. Presurgical osteotomy according to Glassmann was followed immediately by loading, i. e. by expansion through activation of the screw several times per day. Additional anterior guidance of the right and left maxilla was provided by crossed segmented archwires and a tension coil spring for space opening in the incisor region. After adequate expansion by 8.0 mm a...Continue Reading

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
