    Comparison of short-term effects of mini-implant-supported maxillary expansion appliance with two conventional expansion protocols
    (2015) Yilmaz, Alev; Arman-Ozcirpici, Aya; Erken, Seda; Polat-Ozsoy, Omur; 25564504
    Objective: This study evaluates the dentoskeletal effects of a mini-implant-supported maxillary expansion (MISME) appliance in comparison with two types of conventional expansion methods. Methods: Records of 42 patients with bilateral or unilateral posterior crossbite were included in this study. The patients were divided into three groups. In group 1, four miniscrews were placed to the palatal region and an acrylic expansion device was bonded on these screws. A bonded maxillary expansion appliance was used in group 2, while a banded expansion appliance was used in group 3. Measurements from cephalometric, postero-anterior radiographs, and dental casts taken before and after expansion were evaluated statistically. Results: ANB angle increased significantly in group 1 and 3. MISME group also showed an increase of SNA angle. Measurements regarding the vertical dimension did not change with MISME but significant posterior rotation was found in group 2 and 3. Overbite value showed a significant decrease in group 2 and 3, but remained stable in group 1. The nasal, maxillary, maxillary intermolar widths showed significant increases in all groups. The difference between MISME group and other groups in maxillary width was significant indicating more skeletal expansion in MISME group. The maxillary molars showed significant buccal tipping in group 2 and 3, while lingual tipping of molars was found in MISME group. Conclusions: MISME can be a better alternative to bonded expansion particularly in patients with vertical growth patterns and lack of anchorage teeth.

    Efficiency of piezosurgery technique in miniscrew supported en-masse retraction: a single-centre, randomized controlled trial
    (2017) Tuncer, Nilufer Irem; Arman-Ozcirpici, Ayca; Oduncuoglu, Bahar Fusun; Gocmen, Julide Sedef; Kantarci, Alpdogan; 0000-0003-0647-9481; 0000-0002-9250-3689; 28402521; ABG-7526-2020; AAQ-4792-2020; AAF-7291-2021
    Piezoelectric surgery is a newly introduced technique for rapid tooth movement. However, the efficiency of this technique has not been investigated on en-masse retraction cases yet. To investigate the efficiency of piezosurgery technique in accelerating miniscrew supported en-masse retraction and study the biological tissue response. In addition, to show if this technique induces a difference in dental, skeletal and soft tissue changes on lateral cephalograms, and in canine and molar rotations, besides intercanine and intermolar widths on dental casts. We conducted a randomized, single-centred, parallel-group, controlled trial, requiring upper right and left first premolar extractions on 30 patients above the minimum age of 14 years at the beginning of retraction. Piezosurgery-assisted versus conventional en-masse retraction anchored from miniscrews placed between second premolars and first molars, bilaterally. The main outcome was the en-masse retraction rate. Secondary outcomes were gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) volume and GCF content of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa beta ligand (RANKL), changes regarding cephalometric and dental cast variables, and miniscrew success rates. Accomplished with opaque, sealed envelopes. Applicable for data assessment only. Commenced in February 2013 and ended in October 2014. Thirty-one patients were included in the study and divided into 2 groups of piezosurgery (n = 16) and control (n = 15). After 9.3 months of follow-up, no statistically significant difference was observed between groups for neither retraction rates (P = 0.958) nor GCF parameters (P > 0.05). Changes in lateral cephalometric and dental cast variables, and miniscrew success rates did not show significant differences either. Based on the results of this study, piezosurgery technique was found to be ineffective in accelerating en-masse retraction, and promoting a difference in the studied GCF parameters, skeletal and dental variables. The trial was not registered. The full protocol of this PhD thesis study can be accessed from tez.yok.gov.tr.
