Other interesting effects of alveolar corticotomies in orthodontics apart from the acceleration of tooth movement
The acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement due to alveolar corticotomies has been well documented in the literature. It is defined by a phenomenon of transient osteopenia named âthe regional acceleratory phenomenonâ by Frost. This biological mechanism has been described in studies on both humans and animals. However, other interesting effects in orthodontics are associated with alveolar corticotomies: higher amplitude of tooth movements, a decrease of the root resorptions and an increase of stability after orthodontic treatment
Au-delĂ de lâaccĂ©lĂ©ration du dĂ©placement dentaire : autres effets des corticotomies alvĂ©olaires dâintĂ©rĂȘt en pratique orthodontique quotidienne
LâaccĂ©lĂ©ration du dĂ©placement dentaire orthodontique par corticotomie alvĂ©olaire est bien dĂ©crite dans la littĂ©rature. Elle se traduit par un phĂ©nomĂšne dâostĂ©opĂ©nie transitoire, baptisĂ© « phĂ©nomĂšne dâaccĂ©lĂ©ration rĂ©gionale » par Frost. Ce mĂ©canisme biologique a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©crit via des Ă©tudes animales et humaines. Cependant, dâautres effets intĂ©ressants en pratique orthodontique sont associĂ©s aux corticotomies alvĂ©olaires : augmentation de lâamplitude des mouvements dentaires, diminution des rĂ©sorptions radiculaires et augmentation de stabilitĂ© post-traitement orthodontique
Orthodontics and oral mucosal lesions in children and teenagers
Children and teenagers with orthodontics may be affected by infectious, hereditary, traumatic, malignant, or idiopathic oral mucosa lesions. Orthodontists have to be able to detect, identify, and treat effectively or to address the patient to a specialist. Here we discuss this difference to make their diagnosis and management easier for the practitioner
Pratique orthodontique et pathologie de la muqueuse buccale chez lâenfant et lâadolescent
Les enfants et adolescents en cours de traitement orthodontique peuvent prĂ©senter des pathologies de la muqueuse orale dâorigine infectieuse, hĂ©rĂ©ditaire, maligne, traumatique ou idiopathique. Lâorthodontiste doit pouvoir dĂ©pister ces lĂ©sions, les reconnaĂźtre, afin dâinstaurer un traitement adaptĂ© et/ou dâadresser le patient Ă un spĂ©cialiste. Lâobjectif de cet article est de dĂ©crire ces diffĂ©rentes lĂ©sions pour un diagnostic et une prise en charge plus aisĂ©s

Molecular mapping of periodontal tissues using infrared microspectroscopy
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Chronic periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the supporting structures of the teeth. Infrared microspectroscopy has the potential to simultaneously monitor multiple disease markers, including cellular infiltration and collagen catabolism, and hence differentiate diseased and healthy tissues. Therefore, our aim was to establish an infrared microspectroscopy methodology with which to analyze and interpret molecular maps defining pathogenic processes in periodontal tissues.</p> <p>Methods</p> <p>Specific key cellular and connective tissue components were identified by infrared microspectroscopy and using a chemical imaging method.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>Higher densities of DNA, total protein and lipid were revealed in epithelial tissue, compared to the lower percentage of these components in connective tissue. Collagen-specific tissue mapping by infrared microspectroscopy revealed much higher levels of collagen deposition in the connective tissues compared to that in the epithelium, as would be expected. Thus inflammatory events such as cellular infiltration and collagen deposition and catabolism can be identified by infrared microspectroscopy.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>These results suggest that infrared microspectroscopy may represent a simple, reagent-free, multi-dimensional tool with which to examine periodontal disease etiology using entirely unprocessed tissue sections.</p
