SPACE.
INDIAN DENTAL ACADEMY
Leader in continuing dental education

Space required to



Move teeth into ideal locations.
Correction of crowding,
retraction,intrusion, leveling of curve of
Spee, derotation of anterior teeth,
correction of molar relation.


SPACE CAN BE GAINED
BY
Non extraction method
Expansion

Extraction method.

Interproximal
reduction.
Molar
distalization


When to employ the method of Non
extraction for gaining space?
Guide lines:
•8mm/less of crowding-mild to moderate space requirement.
•Severely mesially and lingually tipped posterior teeth-constricted
arches(no skeletal component of malocclusion).
•No need to alter the facial profile.
•Co-operative patient.
•Growing patients-afford more space.

Skeletal

Expansion:

Dentoalveolar
Fixed

Removable

Coffin springs

Slow expansion

RME

Quad helix W arch

Screws.

Jack screws used in removable – slow expansion
In fixed- quad helix, w arch can be used.


Arch Wire

Removable appliances:
Coffin spring
•Walter H. Coffin 1881
•Indications:
Slow dentoalveolar exp
Constricted upper arch
APPLIANCE CONSTRUCTION:
1.25mm hard round S.Steel wire.
U or Omega shaped wire.
Stands 1mm away from palate.
Retention from Adam’s clasps on
U6,U4 or E


Appliance activation.
Range of activation 2-4 mm before insertion.
Disadvantage:
Dislodgement of clasps from the teeth.
Heavy intermittent force.
Patient compliance.


Expansion Screws
Baseplate used as working part, divided and driven apart by screws.
•An equal division-create reciprocal anchorage for both parts.
•Unequal:larger-added anchorage for movement of smaller part/s.F/A more.
•90 degrees-plates move apart by 0.2mm.
•PDL-0.1mm on each side.
•Schwartz- first to use this type of plate.
•254types.but basic principles same.
Encased screws
Skeleton screws

• SIZES
Maxillary-broader
Mandibular-narrower


Encased screw.

Skeleton type.

Bertoni screw.

Schematic sagittal section:


Activation of the screws in removable
appliance:
•1mm/complete revolution.
•0.25mm of tooth movement/quarter turn.
•Rate of active movement not exceed
1mm/month
•Only twice a week-1mm bilateral movement.
•Turn screw with appliance in mouth.
•Don’t remove it for several hrs after activationbetter chance of fit.

Disadvantages of removable
appliances.







All split appliances – only tipping tooth movement(edge
of plate contacts each tooth at only one point) no
couple.
Activation of screw produces heavy intermittent force.
Initial high and rapid decay- potential of damaging the
tooth.
Limited indications .
USAGE WITH FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCES.

Lower Schwartz appliance:
Indications:
Mild to moderate lower ant crowding,
Lingual tipping of post teeth.
Activation:once/week
0.20 to 0.25mm of expn in midline.
3-4months; gain 4-5mm of arch length
anteriorly.
PURPOSE: orthodontic tipping,
uprighting.

Upper Vs Lower expansion stability:
Upper – more stable.
 Lower – before canine eruption.8- 9yrs.
Force elimination:
Frankel regulator.
Lip bumper.



Rapid Vs Slow Maxillary Expansion.
Rapid
Expansion across the suture
Slow
2 schools of thought - rate of palatal splitting:
1. Rapid expansion: 2-4weeks:min tipping & max skeletal displacement.
0.3-0.5mm/day. Force build up to 10-20pounds.
2. Slow expansion: 1mm/week for 2-6months. 2-4pounds of pressure –
optimum.

The ratio of skeletal to dental exp is 1:1 from the beginning .
More physiological response.

Rapid Maxillary Expansion:
•Skeletal expansion, separation of the mid-palatal suture
• Maxillary shelves away from each other.
HISTORY:
Emerson C. Angell 1860
E.N.T Surgeons.
Korhkaus and Andrew Haas in 1950’s


Indications:






Unilateral/bilateral discrepancies.
Skeletal/dental constriction.
Gain arch length in cases of moderate crowding.
AP discrepancies-class II div I, class III.
Inadequate nasal capacity- chronic respiratory
problems.


Contra indications:





Single tooth cross bite
Vertical growers-steep mandibular plane angle.
Pre school children.(fig)
Non compliant patients.


Fig:


Principle:

Rapid heavy force to teeth- no sufficient time for teeth to
respond.
Transferred to the suture, which opens.
While teeth move minimally relative to their supporting
bone.


Sutural patency.
•Vital to RME.
•when and how quickly synostosis takes place?
•Studies.
•Earliest – 15yr girl. Oldest unossified-27yr woman.
•In general, bony spicules : 15-19yrs.
•Greater obliteration posteriorly.
•On avg, 5% closed by age of 25 yrs.
•Optimal age-before 13-15yrs. Later unpredictable.
•OCCLUSAL RADIOGRAPH.

Effects of RME
On the maxilla.


Krebs (1964) : 2 halves of maxilla rotate in
Sagittal
Coronal
Coronal plane: 2 halves move away from each other.
Fulcrum of rotation around the fronto-maxillary suture.
Sagittal plane: rotate in downward and forward direction.
Final position: unpredictable. Partially/complete relapse.

RME in deciduous and mixed dentition produces, downward and forward
rotation of the palatal plane. Increase in the upper anterior facial height

(N to ANS)

Point A is also moved anteriorly.

Triangular split of maxilla.
A. Transverse view

B. Frontal view


Coronal Section at the level of 1st molars

The mid palatal suture opens with an inverted V shape ,the
maxillae separate, the alveolar ridges tip and bend
buccally,the teeth move bodily and also tip within the
alveoli,and the mucoperiosteum of the palate stretches.


Greater opening

The typical triangular opening of the
median palatal suture confirms the
separation of the maxillary process
during the RME.similar opening-in
superio-inferior direction.Max-oral
side,less on nasal side.
The median palatine suture is
repaired totally after 90 days of active
phase of expansion.


Evident splitting of the maxilla
Represents the so called Orthopedic
effect.

Nasal cavity widened. Floor and
lateral walls by maxillary process.

Effects on:
Maxillary anterior teeth: diastema. ½ the distance the screw
has opened.By 3-4months closes.
Maxillary posterior teeth:fig

Mandible: swing downwards and backwards.(disagree)


Changes in angle of tooth
inclination
1st during active RME
2nd after RME during controlled relapse.

.’. Need to overcorrect to compensate for the

subsequent up righting of the teeth.


Effects On Nasal Air Flow:
Anatomically:Increase in width of nasal cavity at the
floor,outer walls of the nasal cavity move laterally.
Air flow resistance reduced by 45% thereby improving nasal
breathing.
Total Effect: Increase in the inter nasal capacity.
Wertz(1968): opening the palatal suture for purpose of increasing
the nasal airway, cannot be justified unless the obstruction is in
the lower anterior portion of the cavity accompanied by a
relative maxillary width deficiency.

 High caries index.
Bolton’s excess.
 Poor oral hygiene.
Aid in retention.
 Enamel hypoplasia.
Maintain the profile.
Maintain Class I canine and
molar relation.
Carey’s analysis:0-2.5mm
Advantages:

•Borderline to non Extraction.
•A favorable overjet and bite can be estbl.(match the U
and L tooth material)
•More stable results –contact area broadened.

Disadvantages:



Roughened proximal surface- plaque. Ledges, grooves.
Excess tooth material reduction.
Increased caries susceptibility
Sensitivity.



John J. Sheridan in 1985.
Removal in buccal segments (enamel thickest)
3-8mm of space requirement.
More space than conventional.
1mm per contact point.
No risk of cutting gingival tissue.


Diagrammatic representation of ARS technique


Polishing.

Topical fluoride application

Useful therapeutic tool if done judiciously.
Excessive enamel reduction is irreparable;
Proximal surfaces must be shaped as naturally as
possible.
Polishing.
Done properly- no effects on interproximal tissue and
bone.
