Abstract

Radii for concave-convex vertical stripping instruments can be derived from measurements of the natural curvature morphology in the horizontal contact area of the mandibular dentition.

The concave-convex adjustment of contacts in the anterior dental arch with a newly developed set of concave-convex stripping instruments should enable orthodontic crowding problems to be alleviated biomechanically.

Zusammenfassung

Ausgehend von Messungen der natürlichen Krümmungsmorphologie im horizontalen Kontaktbereich der Unterkieferdentition lassen sich mit den gefundenen Werten Radien für vertikal arbeitende konkav-konvexe Strippinstrumente ableiten.

Durch die konkav-konvexe Umgestaltung der Kontakte im Frontzahnbogen mit einem neu entwickelten konkav-konvexen Strippinstrumentarium sollte es möglich sein, einen Beitrag zur Reduktion der Engstandproblematik in der Kieferorthopädie auf biomechanischem Weg zu leisten.
