3D functional appliances and mandibular advancement with Invisalign are commonly used to correct Class II malocclusion in young children before the peak growth spurt. This report presents 2 cases of using the Carriere Motion 3D Appliance (CMA) to correct Class II malocclusion with satisfactory results.
The purpose of this report is to present a 30 months experience in using a high torque bi-directional bone cutting implant in a private oral & maxillofacial surgery practice since March 2020. Promising clinical outcome in complex sites including fresh extraction socket for immediate implant placement by this newly evolved implant was evidenced by follow up x-ray and Cone Beam CT monitoring. In this cohort of patients, thorough analyze the pattern of the complex sites & immediate implant to fresh extraction sockets to elucidate the sophistication of the implant design & its biomechanical innovations.
In the last issue of the Dental Diaries we introduced the concept of “Overload” and discussed how it has been related to of complications and failures since the early days of implant dentistry. We focused in discussing problems with bone and peri-implant tissue, but we also concluded that problems due to loading are manifested more frequently on the mechanical implant components. In particular, what we see as “overloading” failures are often connected with some design flaws or deficiencies. Today Drs. Mattheos and Janda will focus the discussion managing technical problems which can occur as results of adverse loading. More importantly, we will discuss the important underlying design principles which will help us prevent problems and reduce complications with the components, frameworks and veneering of implant prostheses.
