Prediction of mandibular movement and its center of rotation for nonsurgical correction of anterior open bite via maxillary molar intrusion
The Angle Orthodontist Apr 27, 2018
Kim K, et al. - Researchers quantitatively assessed the association between molar intrusion (change [Δ] maxillary first molar [U6]-palatal plane [PP]) and changes in vertical and sagittal cephalometric parameters and to ascertain the center of mandibular autorotation. After maxillary molar intrusion, the mandible exhibited counterclockwise rotation. Findings suggested that the location of the center of mandibular autorotation was behind and below condylion with individual variations. OB was seen to increase by 2.6 mm with 1 mm maxillary molar intrusion, AFH decreased by 1.7 mm, pogonion moved forward by 2.3 mm, and SN-GoMe decreased by 2°.
