  2. 16. Dental and orthopedic effects of Bass and Herbst therapy for correction of severe class II division 1 malocclusions

    Author : Jane Ömblus; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Orthodontics Class 11 malocclusion; skeletal changes dental changes functionalappliance maturity treatment evaluation.;

    Abstract : Functional appliance therapy to correct Class II division I malocclusions has been a subject of debate throughout this century. The aims of this thesis, based on six publications, were to evaluate the dental and orthopedic effects of Bass appliance therapy in relation to treatment intensity, age, and somatic maturation, and to compare initial and post-treatment effects of Herbst and Bass therapy.

  4. 17. On various protocols for direct loading of implant-supported fixed prostheses

    Author : Pär-Olov Östman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : dental implants; immediate loading; clinical studies; radiography; implant stability; resonance frequency analysis;

    Abstract : Backgrund: Prosthetic rehabilitation of the edentulous patient with implant-supported bridges is today a routine and predictable treatment modality. The original protocol prescribed a healing period of 3 to 6 months prior to loading which means that the total treatment time can be extensive and that the patients often need to wear removable provisional prostheses during healing and treatment.

  5. 18. Functional appliance treatment and stability in Class II/1 malocclusion, and masticatory muscle characteristics

    Author : Gregory Antonarakis; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Class II malocclusion; functional appliances; masticatory muscles; stability; ultrasonography; bite force;

    Abstract : Aims: To evaluate the short-term antero-posterior effects on Class II division 1 malocclusion in growing children using functional appliances, and investigate whether the functional capacity of the masticatory musculature can be used as a predictive variable in determining the treatment and post-treatment effects following functional appliance treatment. Material and Methods: Firstly, a literature search was carried out identifying prospective clinical trials on the treatment of Class II malocclusion using functional appliances or/and headgear in growing children.

  7. 20. In Vivo Accuracy and Precision in Prosthodontics

    Author : Robert Nedelcu; Andreas Thor; Ingela Nyström; Pontus Olsson; Per Vult von Steyern; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; accuracy; precision; in vivo; digital impression; intraoral scanner; polyether impression; implant impression; framework misfit; fully edentulous; Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; Käkkirurgi; Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; Käkkirurgi;

    Abstract : Background: There has been a dramatic increase in commercially available intraoral scanners (IOS) in the last decade, offering to replace indirect digitization of models (MOD) fabricated from impressions (IMPR). IOS has benefits of less patient discomfort and a faster workflow to fabricate fixed dental prosthesis (FDP), and implant-supported prostheses (IFD). READ MORE
