Asymmetric Maxillary First Molar Distalization With The Transpalatal Arch, Serhat Eyüboğlu, Ali̇ Osman Bengi̇, Ari̇f Ümi̇t Gürton, Erol Akin

Turkish Journal of Medical Sciences

The purpose of this study was to determine the dentoalveolar and skeletal effects of a Goshgarian transpalatal arch (TPA) in unilateral maxillary first molar distalization. The treatment group consisted of 15 patients (6 females and 9 males) between 10.8 and 12.1 years of age. The maxillary first molars, which were in a dental Class I relationship (anchorage molars), were the anchorage units, while the molars in Class II relationship (distalized molars) were distalized using a TPA with 150 g. of force. Lateral head films, study models and clinical photographs of all the patients were taken before and after distalization. The …

Although bone healing around titanium implants has already been evaluated, the effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) during the period of bone maturation around titanium dental implants has not yet been investigated. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of PEMFs on bone formation following the insertion of titanium-dental implants in the rabbit mandibular model. Ti-6Al-4V (Sulzer Calcitek, California, USA) dental implants were inserted into the mandibulae of 28 New Zealand rabbits (6 weeks old). Fourteen were stimulated with PEMFs for 2 consecutive weeks, 4 h/day, at a magnetic intensity of 0.2 milli Tesla (mT), while the …
