Author(s) | Country | Age | Sex | Teeth | SRR | Mechanics | Active force system used | Radiographic view | Conclusion |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cacciafesta (2001) [17] | Denmark | 25 | F | 2(27,28) | type-3 | segment; multibracket | coil spring | panoramic; periapical film | Teeth can be moved into anatomical sites lacking periodontium provided that the orthodontist uses an appliance that generates both constant forces and constant moment to force ratios. |
Re (2001) [22] | Italy | 24 | F | 1(25) | type-4 | segment | T-loop | panoramic; periapical film | The clinical findings of this study indicate that with a proper orthodontic force system, a tooth can be displaced through the sinus area, and the sinus lift surgical augmentation procedure can be avoided. |
Yao (2004) [19] | Taiwan | 31 | F | 2(26,27) | type-3 | segment; miniplate, miniscrew | elastic power chain | panoramic; periapical film 3D digitizer | The biological responses of teeth and the surrounding bony structures to intrusion appeared normal and acceptable. Furthermore, the periodontal health and vitality of the teeth were sufficiently maintained even after a 1-year follow-up. |
Kravitz (2006)Â [18] | USA | 44 | F | 1(16) | type-3 | miniscrew | elastic power chain; coil spring | panoramic | A supraerupted maxillary molar can be successfully intruded within the maxillary sinus cortical floor using two orthodontic miniscrews. Short-term molar intrusion can be achieved without clinically detectable apical root resorption. |
Oh (2014) [16] | USA | 41 | F | 4(15,17,25,28) | type-2:15,25,28 type-4:17 | multibracket | elastic power chain; coil spring; tip-back bend; double helical loop | panoramic; periapical film; CBCT | Successful tooth movement through the maxillary sinus can be achieved without noticeable side effects. New bone formation along the course of tooth movement and changes in the size and shape of the maxillary sinus were observed. Maintaining light continuous forces and moving teeth at a slow rate were key in accomplishing bodily movement and direct bone resorption. |
Park (2014) [15] | Japan | 31 | M | 4(14,16,24,26) | type-2:14,24 type-3:16,26 | multibracket; TAD | T-loop; Intrusion archwires; TAD | panoramic; CBCT | Spaces from tooth extractions can be closed by bodily movement through anatomic barriers such as the maxillary sinus, but in view of the proximity of the maxillary sinus floor and maxillary root tips, orthodontists must be particularly cautious when doing this. |
Saglam (2014) [21] | Turkey | 54 | M | 1(25) | type-3 | multibracket | coil spring | panoramic; periapical film; | Modification of the sinus floor by orthodontic treatment may be an alternative treatment strategy for patients requiring a sinus lifting procedure due to pneumatization of maxillary sinus. |
Carvalho (2014) [20] | Brazil | 38 | M | 1(15) | type-3 | multibracket | unknown | periapical film | Orthodontic movement is a safe and predictable procedure and may replace sinus lift and graft procedures for patients who smoke or for individuals with a history of sinusitis. The procedure also allows implant placement in an area of mature bone rather than in grafted bone, which may be a favorable factor for osseointegration. |
Kuroda (2016) [14] | Japan | 29 | F | 9(14,15,16,17,23,24,25,26,27) | type-2:14 type-3:15,16,17,23,24,25,26,27 | multibracket; TAD | coil spring | panoramic | Interradicular miniscrews are useful for distalizing the maxillary dentition to correct class II malocclusion. With this new strategy, group distalization with miniscrews enables a simpler treatment with greater predictability. |
