Rate of intrusion of maxillary incisors in Class II Div 1 malocclusion using skeletal anchorage device and Connecticut intrusion arch
Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2017, Vol 73, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Nonsurgical correction of deep bite involves either extrusion of posterior teeth, intrusion of incisors, or combination of both. The introduction of skeletal anchorage device with microimplant provides near absolute anchorage without producing any untoward effects on anchor unit. Connecticut Intrusion Arch (CIA) provided an efficient system of intruding anterior segment without producing much adverse affects on anchor teeth. Methods: The study comprised of 30 patients of Class II Div 1 malocclusion with overbite of >6 mmand required therapeutic extractions of all first premolars, randomly distributed into two groups. Group 1 was treated using orthodontic microimplants, while Group 2 treated with CIA. Lateral cephalograms were taken pre-intrusion (T1) and post-intrusion at the end of six months (T2). Results: The rate of intrusion was 0.51 and 0.34 mm/month for Group 1 and Group 2 respectively. The average amount of change in centroid point to PP distance and U1-SN angle was significantly higher in Group 1 compared to Group 2 (P < 0.001). The average amount of change in U6 to PP distance did not differ significantly between two study groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: The amount of intrusion is significantly higher in SAD group. Although vertical molar positional change was higher in CIA group than the SAD group, it was not changed significantly in both treatment modalities. SAD group overall had better results and was easier in handling during intrusion.

Study of pain response in neonates during venipuncture with a view to analyse utility of topical anaesthetic agent for alleviating pain
Background: Neonates being nonverbal are unable to express their pain leading to underestimation of their pain and hence insufficient pain relief. Neonatal pain is assessed by pain scales based on the behavioural and phy...
