Unilateral posterior crossbite typically presents as a narrow maxillary arch and a broad mandibular arch on the side of the crossbite. Unwanted overexpansion and iatrogenic crossbite may develop as side effects if conventional rapid maxillary expansion is done in such cases. Thus, unilateral expansion of the maxilla with unilateral posterior crossbite can help us avoid these side effects and improve the transverse relationship between the maxillary and mandibular posterior dentition on the affec ...[more]

Project description:We aimed to report an update of the systematic review by Petrén et al. (2003). The objective was to evaluate how orthodontic treatments can affect unilateral posterior crossbite (UPXB) in primary and early mixed dentition. Several databases were consulted, and articles published between January 2002 and March 2020 were selected. This review examines the following studies: randomized clinical trials, prospective and retrospective studies with concurrent untreated or normal control groups, and clinical trials comparing at least two treatment strategies. Among the 1581 articles retrieved from the searches, 11 studies were included. Quad-helix (QH) and expansion plate (EP) appliances were compared in three studies. One study compared rapid maxillary expansion (RME) treatment anchored on primary dentition otherwise on permanent molars. One study compared RME and a modified RME with arms extended until deciduous canine and EP. Four studies evaluated the effects of expansion appliances compared with a control group. Compared with the previous review, the quality of the included studies is higher. However, heterogeneity of treatments, different strategies in measurements, lack of a similar follow-up length, and absence of a cost-effectiveness analysis preclude the possibility of providing reliable scientific evidence on the most effective UPXB treatment in primary and early mixed dentition.

Project description:ObjectiveThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to critically appraise the available evidence of the effectiveness of early intervention of functional unilateral posterior crossbites (FPXB) between the ages of 6 and 12 years.Materials and methodsElectronic search in four databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Google Scholar) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled clinical trials (CCTs) was performed between 1st January 1990 and 31st October 2021. Methodological index for non-randomized studies (MINORS) for CCTs and Cochrane's risk of bias tool for RCTs were applied. The certainty of the evidence was evaluated according to the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) approach.ResultsNine studies (6 RCTs and 3 CCTs) were included in this review, and six of them were appropriate for quantitative synthesis. The meta-analysis revealed that the quad-helix (QH) was more effective than expansion plates (EP) in increasing the intermolar width (WMD = 1.25; 95% CI 0.75, 1.75; P < 0.001), and decreasing treatment time (WMD = - 3.36; 95% CI - 4.97, - 1.75; P < 0.001). The relapse rate at 5.6 years post-treatment was greater in the QH group than in the EP group (RR = 3.00); however, the difference was statistically insignificant. There was no significant difference between the QH and the EP in other outcome measures. When assessing the rapid maxillary expansion (RME), only one RCT compared the RME with an untreated control group and reported a significant increase in the maxillary intermolar and intercanine width (P < 0.001, P = 0.002, respectively) and a significant decrease in lower midline deviation (P < 0.001).ConclusionThere is weak to moderate evidence that the treatment of functional posterior crossbite (FPXB) by the QH increased the maxillary intermolar width and the success rate and decreased the treatment duration compared to the EP. The relapse percentage was greater in the QH group. There is very weak evidence that the mandibular midline correction rate did not differ significantly between the QH and the EP modalities. The RME using the Hyrax appliance corrected the FPXB successfully; however, the strength of evidence in this regard is very low. As the quality of evidence ranged from very low to moderate in this review, we confirm the need for more RCTs with different expansion appliances in the early treatment of FPXB.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Correcting posterior crossbite in adult patients using nonsurgical methods may involve buccolingual tooth movement. Knowing the extent of the pretreatment alveolar bony dehiscences and fenestrations in the posterior area will aid orthodontists in planning posterior crossbite patients accordingly to minimize posttreatment bony defects. Before the advent of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), observing buccal and lingual bony defects was not possible unless other treatment needs allowed for an open-flap procedure. With CBCT technology, we can now detect posterior defects with some accuracy. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence of posterior alveolar bony dehiscence and fenestration in adults with posterior crossbite compared with noncrossbite adults. METHODS:The study group consisted of pretreatment CBCTs of 28 samples with at least one or more teeth in posterior crossbite or edgebite. The comparison group consisted of pretreatment CBCTs of 28 samples with no posterior crossbite or edgebite. All buccal and lingual sides of the upper and lower posterior segments were measured for the presence of dehiscence, fenestration, and combined total bony defects. RESULTS:The prevalence of total bony defects was higher in the study group (61.6%) than in the comparison group (52.1%) (p < 0.05). While there was no difference in prevalence between crossbite teeth in the study group and noncrossbite teeth in the comparison group, the noncrossbite teeth in the study group showed a higher prevalence of total bony defects, dehiscence, and fenestration than the noncrossbite teeth in the comparison group (p < 0.05). The prevalence of dehiscence was higher in the study group (41.2%) than in the comparison group (33.3%) (p < 0.05). Neither the prevalence of fenestration nor the mean bony defect size showed statistical significance between the two groups. First premolars showed a higher prevalence of dehiscence than other posterior teeth, and maxillary posterior teeth had a higher prevalence of fenestration than mandibular posterior teeth. Among the maxillary posterior teeth, second premolars had the least amount of fenestration. CONCLUSIONS:Adult subjects with posterior crossbite had a higher prevalence of total bony defects and dehiscence, especially buccal dehiscence, in the posterior region than subjects with no posterior crossbite. This was due to the high prevalence observed in the noncrossbite teeth in posterior crossbite subjects.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate whether mechanical stress induces mineral deposits that contribute to matrix degradation at the onset of osteoarthritis (OA) in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) cartilage.DesignFemale Spraguee-Dawley rats were subjected to an unilateral anterior crossbite (UAC) procedure. Histology, electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were used to examine cartilage matrix structures and composition of mineral deposit in the affected TMJ cartilage. Protein and/or RNA expression of phenotypic markers and mineralization modulators and matrix degradation was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and/or real-time PCR. Synthetic basic calcium phosphate (BCP) and calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate (CPPD) crystals were used to stimulate ATDC5 cells for their impact on cell differentiation and gene expression.ResultsFragmented and disorganized collagen fibers, expanded fibrous spaces, and enhancement of matrix vesicle production and mineral deposition were observed in matrices surrounding hypertrophic chondrocytes in cartilage as early as 2-weeks post-UAC and exacerbated with time. The mineral deposits in TMJ cartilage at 12- and 20-weeks post-UAC had Ca/P ratios of 1.42 and 1.44, which are similar to the ratios for BCP. The expression of mineralization inhibitors, NPP1, ANK, CD73, and Matrix gla protein (MGP) was decreased from 2 to 8 weeks post-UAC, so were the chondrogenic markers, Col-2, Col-X and aggrecan. In contrast, the expression of tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) and MMP13 was increased 4-weeks post-UAC. Treating ADTC5 cells with BCP crystals increased MMPs and ADAMTS5 expression, but reduced matrix production in a time-dependent manner.ConclusionUAC induces deposition of BCP-like minerals in osteoarthritic cartilage, which can stimulate matrix degradation by promoting the expression of cartilage-degrading enzymes to facilitate OA progression.

Project description:PurposeThe aim of this study was to compare the dental effects, impact on quality of life, and pain perception of adolescents wearing Mini Hyrax and Hyrax expanders in rapid palatal expansion.MethodsThirty-four adolescents aged 11 to 16 years, with maxillary transverse deficiency (unilateral or bilateral posterior crossbite), were randomly allocated into two groups, Mini Hyrax group and Hyrax group (1:1 ratio). Dental effects were evaluated by digitally superimposed pretreatment and postretention three-dimensional intraoral scans on the palatal rugaes using the software 3DSlicer. Impact on quality of life was assessed with the OHIP-14 questionnaire applied in the pretreatment, posttreatment and postretention. Visual analog scale was applied 24, 48, and 72 h and 7 days after the first activation of the expander.ResultsThirty of the 34 adolescents recruited completed the study. There were no statistically significant differences in dentoalveolar effects between groups. OHIP-14 scores across time among Mini Hyrax wearers were similar to those of the Hyrax wearers. The inter-group comparisons showed no difference between groups with respect to the OHIP-14 scores in posttreatment and postretention (p > 0.05). There were no differences in pain perception between groups. Considering intra-group comparison, the reduction in pain perception among adolescents in the Mini Hyrax group was gradual. Among adolescents in the Hyrax group, a statistically significant reduction between 48 and 72 h was observed.ConclusionThere were no significant differences in dental effects, impact on quality of life and pain perception between adolescents wearing Mini Hyrax and Hyrax expanders in rapid palatal expansion.

Project description:Increased tibial slope can be a cause of recurrent instability after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. This article presents a technique for an anterior closing-wedge osteotomy for slope correction. The indications for this procedure are patients with recurrent instability after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with a neutral leg axis or slightly varus deformity and a posterior slope of more than 12°. The exposure of the anterior aspect of the tibia is best made through an anterior approach approximately 1 to 2 cm medial to the tibial tuberosity. Hohmann retractors are placed from the medial and lateral sides behind the proximal tibia. The osteotomy lines are marked with 2 converging Kirschner wires with the use of an image intensifier. The entry point of the first Kirschner wire is just below the most inferior fibers of the patellar tendon. The hinge of the osteotomy should be just below the tibial insertion of the posterior cruciate ligament. The osteotomy is performed with an oscillating saw. The posterior cortex of the tibia should be left intact. After removal of the anterior base wedge, the osteotomy is closed by manual pressure. Osteosynthesis is performed with a lag screw from the tibial tuberosity to the distal tibia and an angular stable plate fixator.

Project description:BackgroundMargin Reflex Distance 1(MRD 1) only describes the central height of upper eyelid and relies on the examiner's experience and disregards eyelid contour abnormalities. Therefore MRD 1 may not be sufficient for an acceptable result to evaluate the outcomes of ptosis surgery. The primary purpose of this study was to assess outcomes of unilateral ptosis correction based on parameters including degree of symmetry, MRD 1, peak height of the upper lid, temporal and nasal ocular surface area, and temporal/nasal area ratio with an objective, quantitative, and repeatable method.MethodsThis study was designed as a retrospective non-randomized case-control study. Medical records of the patients with unilateral ptosis between October 2015 and December 2020 were reviewed. Patients with unilateral ptosis who underwent surgical correction and levator function of 5 mm or greater were included in the study. Two groups were defined; ptotic eye was case group and contralateral eye was control group. Data analysis was performed Image J and Matlab softwares.ResultsThirty-four patients were included in the study. Mean age of patients was 58.8 ± 12.7 years (range 15-75 years). Mean follow-up time was 19.5 ± 7.3 months (range 8-40 months). Four patients were diagnosed with congenital ptosis and 30 patients aponeurotic ptosis. Mean preoperative degree of symmetry for overall eyelid contour was 36.6 ± 27.5% (range 1-92%). Mean postoperative degree of symmetry for overall eyelid contour was 72.4 ± 16.5% (range 55-92%). Temporal/Nasal (T/N) area ratios for contralateral normal eye was 1.19 pre-postoperative, and it was 1.11 preoperatively, 1.15 postoperatively for operated ptotic eye.ConclusionsThis study primarily demonstrated a quantitative, objective, and repeatable method to investigate the degree of symmetry after eyelid surgeries. Secondly, this study suggested that T/N ratio may not be a reliable parameter to evaluate the eyelid symmetry.

Project description:Neurons in posterior parietal cortex contribute to the execution of goal-directed navigation and other decision-making tasks. Although molecular studies have catalogued over fifty cortical cell types, it remains unknown what distinct functions they serve during goal-directed navigation. Here, we identified a molecularly defined subset of somatostatin (Sst) inhibitory neurons that, in mouse posterior parietal cortex, carry a novel cell type-specific error correction signal for navigation. We obtained repeatable experimental access to these cells using an adeno-associated virus (AAV) in which gene expression is driven by an enhancer that functions specifically in a subset of Sst cells. We found that during goal-directed navigation in a virtual environment, this subset of Sst neurons activates in a synchronous pattern that is distinct from the activity of surrounding neurons, including other Sst neurons. Using in vivo two-photon photostimulation and ex vivo paired patch clamp recordings, we show that nearby cells of this Sst subtype excite each other through gap junctions, revealing a self-excitation circuit motif that contributes to the synchronous activity of this cell type. Remarkably, these cells selectively activate as mice execute course corrections for deviations in their virtual heading during navigation toward a reward location, both for self- and experimentally-induced deviations. We propose that this subtype of Sst neurons provides a self-reinforcing and cell type-specific error-correction signal in posterior parietal cortex that may aid the execution and learning of accurate goal-directed navigation trajectories.

Project description:IntroductionChildren born very preterm have an immature sucking reflex at birth and are exposed to neonatal care that can impede proper palate growth.ObjectivesWe aimed to describe the frequency of high-arched palate and posterior crossbite at the age of 5 in children born very preterm and to identify their respective risk factors.MethodsOur study was based on the data from EPIPAGE-2, a French national prospective cohort study, and included 2,594 children born between 24- and 31-week gestation. Outcomes were high-arched palate and posterior crossbite. Multivariable models estimated by generalized estimation equations with multiple imputation were used to study the association between the potential risk factors studied and each outcome.ResultsOverall, 8% of children born very preterm had a high-arched palate and 15% posterior crossbite. The odds of high-arched palate were increased for children with low gestational age (24-29 vs. 30-31 weeks of gestation) [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.76, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.17, 2.66], thumb-sucking habits at the age of 2 (aOR 1.53, 95% CI 1.03, 2.28), and cerebral palsy (aOR 2.18, 95% CI 1.28, 3.69). The odds of posterior crossbite were increased for children with pacifier-sucking habits at the age of 2 (aOR 1.75, 95% CI 1.30, 2.36).ConclusionsAmong very preterm children, low gestational age and cerebral palsy are the specific risk factors for a high-arched palate. High-arched palate and posterior crossbite share non-nutritive sucking habits as a common risk factor. The oro-facial growth of these children should be monitored.

Project description:The purpose of this case report is to add another means of treatment for the anterior crossbite malocclusion in early mixed dentition. The selected functional device is an eruption guidance appliance (EGA). The analysed patient had a functional anterior crossbite, a mandibular protrusion tendency, and a normodivergent growth pattern. The early treatment was suggested to correct the malocclusion and avoid unfavourable occlusal conditions that could end in a class III malocclusion growth pattern. After 18 months of treatment, with night-time use, the malocclusion was completely resolved. This therapy strategy allowed the correction of the sagittal jaws' relationship and maximum control of the vertical dimension. After 2 years of follow-up, the results were preserved. The peculiarity of this kind of intraoral orthodontic tools is the use of the erupting forces rather than the active forces. This early treatment of anterior crossbites with EGA may be considered an effective treatment approach for achieving good functional and aesthetic results.
