BACKGROUND: It is very important to explore an optimal loading force that can both allow effective intrusion and cause no damage to the teeth.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the optimal loading conditions, including loading force values and directions, in the intruding mechanics of maxillary anterior teeth.METHODS: A three-dimensional finite element model (3D FEM) of the maxillary anterior teeth was constructed to include the periodontal ligament (PDL), alveolar bone, and appliance (brackets and wire). The initial stress distribution and force of the maxillary anterior teeth were analyzed when the 3D FEM was loaded with different intruding force values and directions. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The optimal value of the intruding force for 6 anterior teeth fell within the range from 0.5 N to 1.0 N. The maximum stress was detected at the distal cervical level of the lateral incisor, and a relatively even distribution of initial stress was observed at 20° palatal deviation to the Y axis. The results suggest that using mini-screw implants at the labial region between the canine and lateral incisor and a combined 0.5-1.0 N intruding force with a distal force could be an optimal intrusion force system by which patients with normal occlusion could obtain a pure intrusion of anterior teeth.

Objective To explore the influence of nursing intervention on the social support and compliance of parents of severe β-Mediterranean anemia children. Methods A total of 100 cases of Mediterranean anemia children’s parents were surveyed with the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and self-made compliance questionnaires, the investigation was performed before the intervention,6 months, 1 year after the intervention. Results The scores of objective support, subjective support and supporting availability after the intervention were all higher than those before intervention (F=269.04, 125.12, 243.04, all P<0.01). In the pairwise comparison tests, the ranks of objective support score and subjective support score were:1 year after intervention>6 months after intervention>before intervention (P<0.01);the score of supporting availability was lower than the scores of 6 months and 1 year after intervention (P<0.01). The compliance of blood transfusion on time and taking deferoxamine on time before and after the interventions had statistical meanings (Hc=100.40,70.53, all P<0.01). In the pairwise comparison tests, the compliance score before intervention was lower than the score after intervention (P < 0.01). Conclusions Nursing intervention can improve the social support and compliance of the parents with severe Mediterranean anemia children.

BACKGROUND:Distraction osteogenesis applied in patient’s canine distal movement, can greatly improve the speed of tooth movement, and protect the molar anchorage. But the researches on the traction rate, canine pulp vitality, canine periodontal tissue remodeling and the biological mechanisms of the technology are rare recently. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the feasibility of rapid canine retraction through distraction osteogenesis of the periodontal ligament in adult patients and to monitor the pulp vitality, root resorption and periodontal remodeling of the canine. METHODS:Nine malocclusion patients were selected, and the bilateral maxil ary canine in adult patients were rapidly retracted and moved to the scheduled position using modified distraction devices. The canine distal movement distance, anchorage loss, root resorption and alveolar interval alterations were measured through intraoral radiographs, and lateral cephalograms. The pulp and periodontal of canine were mointrored. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The canines could be rapidly retracted to the schedualed position through distraction osteogenesis of the periodontal ligament in 12-16 days, the average amount of retraction was 7.18 mm and the canines tipped distal y (13.24±2.87)°. The anchorage loss was 0.5 mm. There was no obvious root resorption and periodontal tissue loss. The pulp vitality of the canines was decreased significantly right after distraction, but it recovered significantly after 3 months. The results indicated that periodontal ligament distraction osteogenesis can significantly accelerate canine movement speed, shorten treatment time, while protecting the molar anchorage;there was no significant adverse reaction of root resorption, loose teeth, pulp necrosis and loss of periodontal tissue. Indcating that distraction osteogenesis of periodontal ligament can move canines rapidly and effectively.
