Objective: To evaluate the skeletal, dental, and soft tissue cephalometric changes produced by total arch distalization of maxilla using infrazygomatic crest bone screw as anchorage.
Methods: A prospective sample of 13 patients (5 females and 8 males) who underwent total maxillary arch distalization treatment with infrazygomatic crest bone screw as anchorage system. Lateral cephalograms were obtained at the beginning of Treatment (T0) and after class II molar correction (T1). To compare cephalometric changes, paired t-test was used. A significance level of 5% was used.
Results: Class I molar and class I canine relation was achieved in all patients. The IZC bone screw provided molar distalization of 4.17 mm and intrusion of 1.25 mm with distal tipping of 3.7°. Significant Maxillary incisor .. Read More»
