Selbstligierende Twin-Brackets (Teil II) - Klinische Anwendung

Zusammenfassung

Seit Beginn der Entwicklung selbstligierender Brackets vor 70 Jahren entstanden mindestens vierzehn verschiedene Bracketdesigns, von denen sich zwei Hauptgruppen herauskristallisiert haben. Man unterscheidet aktive und passive Systeme. Bei den aktiven Systemen handelt es sich beispielsweise um IN-OVATION, SPEED oder TIME, zu den passiven Systemen zählt man DAMON und TWINLOCK. Die Behandlung mit aktiven Systemen basiert auf vier grundlegenden Prinzipien.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll anhand des aktiven IN-OVATION-Systems exemplarisch die klinische Anwendung selbstligierender Twin- Brackets mit ihren 4 Prinzipien erläutert werden.

Summary

More than fourteen different self-ligating appliances have been developed and scientifically investigated for approximately 70 years. These self-ligating appliances can be devided into two major groups. The IN-OVATION, SPEED or TIME systems are active, whereas the DAMON SL 2 and TWINLOCK are completely passive systems. In this article the treatment with the active IN-OVATION system and its four principles are explained.
