DEWIMED’ SMART INNOVATION Orthodontic Skeletal Anchorage Screw

Mini Screws: The future of orthodontic anchorage implants is the mini titanium screw. In contrast to traditional treatment there is no need for anchorage teeth anymore, so teeth movement can be realized even if there are teeth missing. Thanks to mini screws extra oral equipment becomes unnecessary. They allow effective working without being dependent on cooperation of individual patients. Minimal size, as well as the complication-free use of mini screws opens an innovative clinical therapy spectrum. This means biomechanically creative solutions, a shorter treatment period and exact and effective...

...easy insertion Using DEWIMED mini implants since several years I can highly recommend them. Highlights for me are clearly the very easy insertion and the very good stability which led to a loss rate of nearly 0%! Also, as an experienced user of fixed lingual appliances, I am happy about the brandnew screw, especially designed for anchorage in lingual orthodontics and for palatally anchored distalization appliances. This mini implant is another milestone of the DEWIMED O.S.A.S. System. Dr. Martin Baxmann Germany ...fracture is virtually reduced to zero Dr. Eduardo Morzán Peru Working with DEWIMED...

As a solution of this problem, single mini implant is inserted in the palatal side of the maxillary, or multiple mini implants are used with plate. However, if there is the sufficient space in the second molar for retraction, and the cortical bone is hard enough,...

Clinical Cases A 18 years old, male patient has Protrusion of the upper and lower lips. With help of DEWIMED SLOT Screw on the labial sides of the maxilla and the mandible and an implantation on the palatal side of the maxilla the tooth could be moved in the wished position. The orthodontic treatment was done within 23 months. after Extraction of 3rd Molar, after 6 months

COMMENTS CLINICAL CASES SCREWS INSTRUMENTS RACKS Clinical Cases Class II 26 years old male patient (Fig. 1) Unfortunately at the beginning of its orthodontic treatment the extraction of mandibular right first molar was required by his condition (Fig. 2). At a patient having this bone characteristics is not easy to mesialize the second molar and take the third as option for restore posterior occlusion with traditional orthodontics. So it was necessary to place a Mini Implant (DEWIMED M.O.S.A.S. 8 mm) to support the mesialization additionally to its elastic class II (Fig.3 ) . After 11 months of...

Clinical Cases A 31 years old male patient needed lower incisor intrusion. Two mini implants (DEWIMED, 6 mm) were inserted distal to both lateral incisors to create a statically determined force system. 40g of force was vertically applied to each lateral incisor. In order to avoid vestibular inclination during intrusion a 0,018 x 0,025” stainless steel full arch wire was used. Periodontal health and teeth vitality were not compromised during intrusion. The complete treatment was finished after 4 months. A 23 years old female patient with multiple missing posterior teeth needed anterior teeth...

COMMENTS CLINICAL CASES SCREWS INSTRUMENTS RACKS Clinical Cases A 11 years old female patient needed unilateral Brodie bite correction. Intrusion and palatal inclination of the upper left first molar and second bicuspid was planned to harmonize the transverse discrepancy. Two mini implants (DEWIMED, MOSAS, 6 mm) were inserted 2 mm away from the midpalatal raphe between first and second bicuspids. The heads of the mini implants were joined to an acrylic button to create a bone anchorage unit. Two hooks were strategically placed into the acrylic and two lingual buttons were bonded on the palatal...

SMART INNOVATION Ideal requirements for cortical anchorage and advantages: •Biocompatibility •Small dimensions •Ease of placement and use •Primary stability •Immediate loading •Adequate resistance to orthodontic forces •Use with known orthodontic mechanical systems •Independent of patient cooperation •Clinically equal or better results compared to conventional anchorage variants •Easy to remove •Low costs •Meets aesthetic demands Self-drilling screw systems, such as the O.S.A.S. system, do not require any preparation of the bone. The thread works through the gingiva and cortex without pre-drilling...

COMMENTS CLINICAL CASES SCREWS INSTRUMENTS RACKS Direct or Indirect anchorage In principle, a direct or indirect strategy can be chosen. The direct variant is often easier technically and tooth movements are carried out directly supported by the stationary anchorage. Indirect anchorage means that a dental anchorage segment is formed that is stabilised through the screw, so that active tooth movements take place. Direct anchorage Indirect anchorage; the tooth to be moved is anchored to a tooth that is connected to the Mini screw. All of the familiar coupling elements used in orthodontics (round...

Material: DEWIMEDs´ Mini Screws are made of a titanium-based biocompatible alloy. Compared to pure titanium the alloy provides better mechanical parameters in the categories of strength, elastic behaviour, resistance to wear and surface qualities. The elastic limit is about twice as high so that partial structures such as the thread pitch can be filigree. Production: DEWIMED O.S.A.S. Screws are made of one piece titanium alloy and appear to be more stable mechanically due to their homogeneous material structure. The joint-free one-piece technology guarantees particular mechanical stability and...
