NON EXTRACTION TREATMENT PROTOCOL

INTRODUCTION

 The correction of many malocclusion require space inorder to move


teeth to more ideal location, the orthodontist is often faced with
dilema of how to obtain space required for these correction planning
space is an important aspect of treatment planning

Common instances of space requirement

1) To relieve crowding / impacted teeth

2) To correct proclination

3) To level the curve of spee

4) To intrude teeth

EXTRACTION DECISION MAKING WIGGLEGRAM

Wellington and Afonso JCO 2002

 The decision to extract teeth is one of the critical decision in


orthodontic treatment.
 The main reasons for extraction are well documented: crowding,
dentoalveolar protrusion, the need for facial profile alteration, and
mild anterioposterior maxillary discrepancies
 In borderline cases there can be considerable disagreement.
 According to Buchin, a case is borderline when extraction of
permanent teeth is required to reach a stable and functional
occlusion, but when the patient has good facial esthetics that could
be disturbed by extraction.

Wigglegram:

 18 factors have been selected from dental, cephalometric, facial and


growth variables

Dental Variables:5 variables


• Dental discrepancy:4-8 mm, 8mm> extraction

• Curve of Spee: 3-6 mm

• Bolton discrepancy: proximal stripping with discrepancy of 4 mm

• Peck and Peck Index: normal 88-95, above 95%-proximal stripping,


less than 88% - extraction

• Irregularity Index: normal-0, mild irregularity-3.5-6.5, greater than 6.5


indicates extraction

Cephalometric variables:7 variables:4 – vertical facial proportional; 3 –


lower incisor position

 Relationship of the horizontal planes: according to Sassouni, the


horizontal relationship of the supra-orbital, PP, occlusal, and
mandibular planes reflects the vertical proportionality of the
craniofacial skeleton. Highly divergent planes indicates a skeletal
open bite – extraction, parallel planes indicates – skeletal deep bite –
nonextraction.
 FMA: normal values - 20°-30°,
 SN-mandibular plane angle: normal- 30°-34°
 Jarabak ratio: proposed by Jarabak and Fizzel normal- 61%-69%,
less than 61% - skeletal open bite and more than 69% is skeletal
deep bite.
 IMPA: Margolis, 85°-95° is normal greater than 96° indicates for
extraction.
 FMIA: 60°-70° is normal, less than 60°indiacates proclination, and
more than 70° indicates retroclined incisors.

METHODS OF GAINING SPACE IN PERMANENT DENTITION

1) Selective/ therapeutic extractions

2) Arch expansion

3) Molar distalization
4) Derotation of posterior teeth

5) Inter-proximal reduction

6) Proclination of anterior teeth in some cases

Types of clinical cases in Orthodontics:

1) Definite extraction cases

2) Definite non-extraction cases

3) Borderline cases

ARCH EXPANSION

 Arch expansion was first introduced by Emerson.c.Angell in 1960


 The upper arch is well suited for expansion than its lower
counterpart.
 Usually done in narrow contracted upper arches with crossbites in the
premolar region.
 Important to distinguish between dental and skeletal crossbites
because the treatment approach differs.
 Dental crossbite – Slow expansion screws or expansion with the
archwire itself
 For skeletal crossbites, splitting the midpalatal suture becomes
mandatory.
 Done either by a RME screw in younger patient or by a surgical
procedure in adult patients.

bicuspids and the 1st molars
• Palate expansion Screw
• Acrylic Palate that rest on the lingual tissue of the
palate

QUAD HELIX

W ARCH

PROXIMAL STRIPPING

 This is usually done whenever the space required for correcting the
malalignment is minimal (3-4 mm).
 Can be done in either arch
 Can be done manually with abrasive strips or with an airotor
 Decision to do interproximal reduction is based on the model analysis
concerning the overall size discrepancy.
 It could also be added up with a Bolton analysis.

MOLAR DISTALIZATION

 The upper arch is better suited for distalization than the lower; the
reason being the nature of the bone in the mandible
Effects of molar distalization:

1. Proclination of anteriors

2. Opening up of the mandibular plane angle

INDICATIONS

 Good soft tissue profile


 Borderline cases
 Mild to moderate space discrepancy with missing 3 rd molars/2nd
molars not yet erupted
 End on molar relationship with mild to moderate space requirement
 Cases with less than a full cusp class II molar relationship

Distalization using Headgears

 Very efficient
 Reciprocal forces are not transmitted to other teeth
 Molar movements depends on direction of force in relation to the
Centre of Res of the molar & magnitude of force

Cervical Headgear

 Short face Class II maxillary protrusive cases with low MPA &
Deepbite
 Extrusive & distalizing effect
 Lower anterior facial height is less

High pull Headgear

 Produces intrusive & Posterior direction of pull


 Long face class II patients with high MPA
 Force through C Res – Intrusion & distal movement of molar

High pull Headgear

 Produces intrusive & Posterior direction of pull


 Long face class II patients with high MPA
 Force through C Res – Intrusion & distal movement of molar

Straight pull headgear

 Class II Malocclusion with no vertical problems


 Prevent anterior migration of maxillary teeth, translate them
posteriorly

 K-loop – forces - .017 x .025 TMA


 Nance button – anchorage
 8mm long , 1.5 mm wide
 Legs- 20 degree bend
 Inserted into molar and first premolar tube

VARIOUS APPLIANCES FOR MOLAR DISTALIZATION

 Headgears
 Wilson Bimetric arch design
 Molar distalization with magnets
 Use of Super elastic NiTi
 Jones Jig
 The Pendulum appliance
 The K-loop appliance
 The distal jet
 Using Implants

DEROTATION OF POSTERIORS

The posterior teeth when rotated,occupy a larger space than when they are
normally placed.

Derotation helps in achieving a good occlusion as well as in converting a


borderline case into a non-extraction case, when combined with one of the
earlier methods.

Six Keys To Non Extraction

 In recent years there has been an increase in percentage of non-


extraction cases in the average orthodontic practice. The reasons
may be
 Mid arch extractions can compromise facial esthetics – concave
profiles – Bishara et al AJO 1995
 Patients preference for a broader smile
 Expanding the maxillary arch then provides more space for the
dentition, and there is no need for overjet reduction
 Patients prefer not to extract the healthy teeth

First key: lee way space

 Leeway space – 7mm in the lower and 5mm in the upper becomes
available
 To capture this space – fit an lip bumper, lingual arch or an palatal
bar
 Dugoni et al (AO – 1995) – has shown that stable results can be
achieved by using leeway space than by extracting premolars

Second key: mesial molar rotation

 70% of all malocclusions have mesial molar rotations which are


responsible for a high percentage of class II molar relationships –
Cetlin et al JCO 1983
 Rotated 1st molar may occupy 12mm of mesiodistal width, compared
to 10mm for a properly oriented first molar.
 Correcting the molar rotations not only increases the available space,
but also changes the archform from a tapered “V” shape to a “U”
shape, providing extra space for overjet reduction

Third key: passive uprighting

 Passive uprighting occurs when constrictive forces are removed


 4mm increase in arch width can be achieved with lip bumpers or
Frankel appliance – during late mixed dentition (Nevant et al, Osborn
et al, Frankel et al, Hime et al)

Fourth key: active uprighting

 After teeth are locked into established malocclusion, an expander


may be used for uprighting.
 To avoid relapse – teeth should not be tipped excessively.

Fifth key: distal movement

 Distal movement of 1st molars achieved easily before eruption of


second molars
 Distalization with headgear along with a removable appliance ACCO
should be worn for continuous force

Sixth key: skeletal modification

 Proper use of functional appliances reduces the need for extractions


 Alternatively orthognathic surgery that brings the lower jaw forward to
correct the overjet and improve the facial profile is a common non
extraction strategy in most orthodontic practices.
