Assessment of interproximal enamel reduction planned by the digital set-up of a customized lingual orthodontic appliance: A comparison cohort study. Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Jean Francois Cuzin, Dominique Gaget, Petra Maes, Peter Bottenberg, Bart Vande Vannet, Karlien Asscherickx
Objectives
Interproximal enamel reduction (IER), commonly known as stripping, is a frequently used technique in orthodontic treatment to address issues related to arch length discrepancies and tooth size discrepancies (TSD). The use of digital set-up allows for precise prediction of the amount of IER required. TSD occurs when the sizes of maxillary and mandibular teeth are not in proportion to each other. This study aims to evaluate and ...

The effect of various adhesives, enamel etching, and base treatment on the failure frequency of customized lingual brackets: a randomized clinical trial Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Dimitrios Mavreas, Jean Francois Cuzin, Guillaume Boonen, Bart Vande Vannet
Objectives: The aim of this paper was to compare failure differences in precious metal customized lingual brackets bonded with three adhesive systems. Also, differences in failure of non-precious metal brackets with and without a silicatized base layer bonded with the same adhesive, as well as the influence of enamel etching prior to using a self-etching dual cure resin were explored. Materials/methods: Five different groups were defined in a ...

Secondary implant stability outcome of immediate versus late placed variable-thread implants in the maxilla. A retrospective cohort study. Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Nicolas Grognard, Gino Verleye, Bart Vande Vannet, Dimitrios Mavreas
BACKGROUND: The healing of xenograft augmentated intra-alveolar gaps following immediate implant placement (IMIP) after tooth extraction is likely to differ in time and density compared to the native bone part that directly contacts the implant. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Secondary implant stability (SIS) data recorded 2-3 months following a late implant placement protocol (LIP) (n= 43) and 6-8 months following an immediate implant placement protocol ...

Updated secondary implant stability data of two dental implant systems. Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Nicolas Grognard, Gino Verleye, Dimitrios Mavreas, Bart Vande Vannet
BACKGROUND: At present, updated secondary implant stability data generated by actual versions of resonance frequency analysis (RFA) and mobility measurement (MM) electronic devices of 2 different implant systems with actual manufactured surfaces seem to lack and/or are incomplete. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Secondary implant stability data based on both RFA and MM measurements were collected and analyzed from 44 formerly treated patients (24 f, ...

ISQ calculation evaluation of in vitro laser scanning vibrometry-captured resonance frequency Vrije Universiteit Brussel Ghent University KU Leuven

Stijn Debruyne, Nicolas Grognard, Gino Verleye, Korneel Van Massenhove, Dimitrios Mavreas, Bart Vande Vannet

BACKGROUND: Implant stability testing at various stages of implant therapy by means of resonance frequency analysis is extensively used. The overall measurement outcome is a function of the resulting stiffness of three entities: surrounding bone, bone-implant complex, and implant-Smartpeg complex. The influence of the latter on the overall measurement results is presently unknown. It can be investigated in vitro by use of imbedded implants ...

Klasse III-Management bei Erwachsenen Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Dimitrios Mavreas
Dr. Dimitrios Mavreas zeigt anhand eines klinischen Fallbeispiels, wie bei Einsatz des Damon®-Systems die Malokklusion korrigiert und die Ästhetik hinsichtlich makro-, mini- sowie mikroästhetischer Aspekte verbessert werden konnte.

How orthodontic records can influence torque choice decisions? Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Dimitrios Mavreas, Enya Kuppens, Ronald Buyl, Bart Vande Vannet

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the addition of records can influence intra- and inter-rated agreement on torque choices made to treat a group of patients with various malocclusions.

METHODS: Forty-eight patients were presented to five orthodontic specialists in three different occasions. During the first session, the participants were shown only the models and intraoral photos of the patients; extraoral ...

Treatment of Class II, 2 Malocclusion Using a New Herbst-Type Appliance (The Biobitecorrector®): A Case Report Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Dimitrios Mavreas, Enrico Pasin, Bart Vande Vannet
When correcting a Class II malocclusion, an orthodontist is often dependent on patients’
cooperation. If cooperation is bad, it is difficult to achieve the preset treatment goals. Appliances
have been developed to reduce the necessity of patient cooperation. Therapy with these kinds
of appliances is called non-compliance therapy. By using this kind of therapy, a greater control
over the treatment lies within the hands of the ...

Maxillary changes with bone-borne surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Karlien Asscherickx, Elke Govaerts, Johan Aerts, Bart Vande Vannet

INTRODUCTION: The aim of this prospective study was to analyze the postexpansion positional changes of the maxillary halves and their initial stability after transpalatal distraction with a bone-borne distractor and standard corticotomies of the anterior, lateral, and median bony supports of the maxilla without pterygomaxillary disjunction.

METHODS: The sample consisted of 21 patients (15 female, 6 male; mean age, 26 years 5 months). ...
