    (E H ANGLE EDUCATION RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC, 2010) Gürel, Hakan Gürcan; Memili, Badel; Erkan, Mustafa; Sukurica, Yusuf
    Objective: To evaluate the long-term changes in maxillary arch widths, overjet, and overbite in patients who were treated with rapid maxillary expansion (RME) followed by edgewise appliances. Materials and Methods: The material for the study consisted of study casts taken from 41 patients (19 males, 22 females) on four different occasions (before treatment, T1; after RME, T2; after treatment, T3; and during follow-up period, T4). The upper intercanine, interpremolar, and intermolar widths and overjet and overbite were measured on each set of study casts. Mean age of the subjects was 13.2 +/- 1.3 years (range, 11.2-16.9 years) at T1, 13.3 +/- 1.3 years (range, 11.3-17 years) at T2, 15.5 +/- 1.4 years (range, 13.1-18.8 years) at T3, and 20.4 +/- 1.6 years (range, 17.9-24.8 years) at T4. Results: The net increase in intercanine width, interpremolar width, intermolar width, overjet, and overbite was 1.4 +/- 2.4 mm, 4.6 +/- 2.6 mm, 4.3 +/- 2.5 mm, 0.1 +/- 0.6 mm, and 0.2 +/- 0.6 mm, respectively, and the relapse rates were 37% for intercanine width, 19% for interpremolar width, and 17% for intermolar width at the end of the follow-up period. Conclusions: A significant amount of relapse occurred in maxillary arch widths at the postretention assessment, the greatest being in intercanine width. RIME significantly decreased overbite and increased overjet, and a statistically significant decrease was observed in both overbite and overjet at the postretention assessment.

    Rapid canine distalization through segmental alveolar distraction osteogenesis
    (E H ANGLE EDUCATION RESEARCH FOUNDATION, INC, 2007) Sukurica, Yusuf; Karaman, Ali; Gurel, Hakan Gurcan; Dolanmaz, Dogan
    Objective: The objectives of this study were to achieve rapid canine distalization by segmental alveolar distraction method in first premolar extraction cases, to examine the changes in the periodontal tissues surrounding canines, to evaluate the displacement of the canine and first molar teeth, to assess the effects of the procedure on the pulpal vitality of the canines, and to determine the amount of root resorption in retracted canines. Materials and Methods: The sample of the study consisted of 20 teeth in eight patients (four females and four males, mean age 18.5 years). Pre- and posttreatment dental casts, panoramic radiographs, and standard periapical radiographs were taken from all patients. An electrical vitality test was applied before and after the distraction procedure and during the follow-up period (6 months after the completion of the procedure). In addition, six periodontal indices were used to examine the health of the periodontal tissues. Results: The distraction procedure was completed in 12 to 28 days (mean 14.65 +/- 3.49). The anchorage loss ranged from 0 to 3 mm (mean 1.2 +/- 0.83). The distal displacement of the canines ranged from 3 to 8 mm (mean 5.35 +/- 1.22). The canines showed a mean of 9.1 degrees distal tipping, whereas there was no statistically significant change in the axial inclinations of first molars after distraction. Conclusion: We believe that rapid canine distalization by segmental distraction osteogenesis will become a routine protocol and a popular method among orthodontic applications.
