A retrospective study analyzing the differences in orthodontic measurements ¬between active orthodontic treatments with transpalatal arches, and those with molar anchorages
Journal Title: Medicine in Evolution - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
Aim and objectives: to compare mesial movement of the upper first molars after orthodontic extraction with two types of anchorage methods; namely, the transpalatal arch (TPA), and molar anchorage. Material and methods: 16 patients were included in the study (8 with TPA, 8 with molar anchorage). Data was collected from 2 cephalograms and 2 casts for each patient, one set was taken before and another one after the treatment. On the casts the measurements were: the first inter-molar distance; the anterior dental arch length; the distance between the first molars (left and right) in the sagittal plane; the angle between the mesiobuccal cusp of the upper first molars, and the median. The cephalograms were processed using Ricketts analysis. Results: The only difference between the parameters of the two groups was showed in the angles between the mesiobuccal cusps of the upper first molars and the medians (p=0.038). Conclusions: No important differences were demonstrated between the two types of anchorages.
