[The biomechanics of space closure and its dependence on the periodontal attachment].

The biomechanics of space closure in adult patients with loss of periodontal attachment is described. In order to achieve an even force distribution in the periodontium, force was reduced and the moment to force relationship was increased. beta-TMA-T Loops of 0.016 inch x 0.022 inch and 0.017 inch x 0.025 inch cross sections were investigated. With an automatic testing device force and moment values were determined.

[Long-lasting treatment technic in the periodontally reduced dentition].

A precondition for satisfactory (long-lasting) prosthetic results is a good occlusion. This can sometimes only be achieved with the aid of orthodontics. This article concludes that orthodontics can be carried out in patients with reduced periodontal support provided thorough periodontal treatment is carried out initially and treatment goals and biomechanics are carefully considered.

[Comparative studies of fiberglass and metal brackets].

The demand by patients considered for better esthetics during treatment should be seriously considered. With the introduction of fiberglass brackets one has tried to solve that problem. The purpose of this investigation was: 1. a microscopic examination of the slots of these fiberglass brackets after various periods of wearing; 2. an in vitro investigation of the adhesion of the fiberglass brackets in comparison to metal brackets; The following results were obtained: 1. There are remarkable differences in the slot dimensions between new fiberglass brackets and those which have been in the mouth for varying periods of time. 2. Ligating wires into fiberglass brackets may be difficult because of wing fractures. 3. There are significant differences regarding the adhesion of fiberglass brackets compared with metal brackets. Results of tests carried out under defined conditions (bonding, storage, time-factor) concluded that metal brackets behaved much more favourably; the adhesion of metal brackets was nearly ten times greater than that for fiberglass brackets.

Space closure in adult patients using the segmented arch technique.

Periodontally compromised adult patients may benefit from modified appliance designs for space closure. TMA T-loops of .016" x .022" and .017" x .025" cross sections, with angulations incorporated via concentrated bends and gradual curvature bends are presented. The force systems these appliances produce are measured, and their clinical performances discussed. Templates for these T-loops are presented. By producing lower forces and higher moment to force ratios, this type of T-loop may benefit patients with bony loss.

[Free mucosal grafting--clinical experiences].

Free mucosal grafting is a simple, safe and predictable procedure. It is indicated in the treatment of progressive recessions in patients with reduced attached gingiva, in recurrent traumatic marginal lesions inspite of correct tooth brushing, in refractory dental neck hypersensitivity and for cosmetic reasons in patients with recessions. In these situations advancement grafting is done as a secondary procedure. To prevent the potential occurrence of recessions free mucosal grafting may also be indicated prophylactically before orthodontic or prosthetic management. The management concept in patients with recessions as well as the indications of the procedure, the technique used at our department and aspects of planning surgery are discussed.

[The use of modern ceramics for inlays and onlays].

If ceramic inlays and onlays are considered in restorative work, some operations which, more than in other areas of dental engineering, decide upon the success or failure should be given special attention. During the preparation of ceramic inlays care should be taken to produce well rounded rather than rectangular edges approximally. In the case of onlays there should ideally be a smooth circular step rounded axially with a sharp-edged near-rectangular interface with the non-ground tooth. Ceramic inlays and onlays are best inserted with the adhesive technique, which provides for an improved strength of the ceramic material, an adequate marginal adaptation and a satisfactory cosmetic appearance. As long-term results are not yet available, the use of ceramic inlays and onlays is still experimental.
