Correction of Class II malocclusion and soft tissue profile in an adult patient

Contemporary Clinical Dentistry, 2016
Treatment of Class II malocclusion in nongrowing individuals is a challenging situation for the clinician. Class II malocclusion with bialveolar protrusion often dictates premolar extractions with maximum anchorage. The present article describes the case

Use of a Kirschner wire for skeletal anchorage

British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2008
A 17-year-old girl was diagnosed with a Class II malocclusion. Titanium screws were inserted into the maxilla for skeletal anchorage, but they loosened and the mucosa became inflamed during the orthodontic treatment because of the poor quality of the maxillary bone. The insertion of a metal plate failed to improve the anchorage for the same reason.

Spider Screw: skeletal anchorage system.

Progress in orthodontics, 2005
The stability of the anchorage unit plays a very important role in orthodontic control. Controlled orthodontic movements such as retraction and/or protraction of teeth and intrusion of overerupted teeth are very difficult to achieve without patient cooperation and without causing undesirable reciprocal movement in the anchorage unit.

Cholesterol‐DNA Origami Nanostructures for Synthetic Lipid Rafts Induce Early T Cell Activation Signals

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Here, we present a nanotechnology approach to construct synthetic lipid rafts on the live T cell membrane, leveraging a versatile DNA origami‐enabled platform named as the “cholesterol nano‐patch” (CNP). Our investigation highlights the effectiveness of DNA nanotechnology in exploring the impact of nanoscale arrangement of cholesterols on the ...
