Sagittal correction of adolescent patients with modified palatal anchorage plate appliances

Abstract

The palate has been reported to be a suitable skeletal anchorage site in adolescents and adults. This article introduces new treatment modalities for correction of sagittal discrepancies by molar protraction and distalization with a modified palatal anchorage plate appliance. The effectiveness and versatility of this method are demonstrated in 2 adolescent patients.

A comparison of treatment effects of total arch distalization using modified C-palatal plate vs buccal miniscrews

“…[13][14][15] Recently, the use of the modified C-palatal plate (MCPP) for maxillary arch distalization was reported for Class II corrections in both adolescents and adults. 1,[16][17][18][19][20][21] The MCPP is a distalization appliance with a large range of action that can be easily placed without raising a flap. It also has been shown to have the capability of vertical control during distalization.…”

A three-dimensional finite element analysis of molar distalization with a palatal plate, pendulum, and headgear according to molar eruption stage

“…In our study, the fixed orthodontic appliance was placed on the teeth with the MPAP, since it was introduced in previous studies as a whole treatment entity. 18 19 35 36 37 Meanwhile, the headgear and the pendulum were applied without braces, because although several authors placed headgear and brackets simultaneously, 38 39 others placed the braces after the end of that headgear phase. 40 41 42 Moreover, several authors applied pendulums separately, and then followed with fixed orthodontic appliances.…”

Das Grazer Implantat Stabilisierte Pendulum (GISP) zur Distalisierung im Oberkiefer

“…Man kann nur die Federn nachaktivieren [21,50,51] und muss versuchen, einer eventuellen Bisshebung durch Distalisation mit einer leicht nach apikal-distal gerichteten Richtung des Führungsbogens entgegenzuwirken. Da die Kraftübertragung bei Distalisationsapparaturen mit Führungsdraht und Druckfedern Reibungsverluste bewirkt, wird mehr Kraft angewendet als beim GISP, nämlich bis zu 5 N beim Beneslider [35], 3,5 N beim Topjet [18] oder 500 cN bei dem MCPP, einem indirekten palatinalen Verankerungssystem, bei dem auch eine Platte mit 3 Schrauben auf der Gaumenmukosa verankert wird [23,52].…”
