COURSE TOPICS
Miniplates resist better high discontinuous forces than miniscrews do. Therefore they can be used for intermaxillary orthopedic traction. Class III elastics can be fixed between Bollard anchors on the buttress of the maxilla, and in the canine region of the mandible in young growing patients. Which biomechanical approach should be used, which loading protocol? What is the best timing? Can the growth of the maxilla and/or mandible be stimulated, restric- ted or redirected? The results of this continuous bone anchored traction will be discussed based on Cone-beam CTs at T1 and T2 registered on the anterior cranial base, also in cleft patients. The outcome will be compared with a control group and face mask orthope- dics with or without RPE.
