Resumen

MORENO VELIZ, Ania et al. The tripod in the unilateral distalization of superior molars: Occlusal changes . Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2008, vol.45, n.2. ISSN 0034-7507.

OBJECTIVE: to enhance the knowledge of the distalizing treatments, a study was conducted with a distalizing novel technique: the tripod. METHODS: the study included 6 patients with Angle class II due to mesogression of the superior molars and with clinical absence of the second superior molar. The modifications produced by the tripod at the dental level were evaluated. RESULTS: The first superior molars were distalized (3.36 mm). The molar also suffered a distal inclination, the second bicuspids followed the molar in its distal movement, whereas the first bicuspid of the side of the distalization was mesialized. The incisive were vestibularized and the cross-sectional width measured at the level of the first molars and the first bicuspids decreased, while in the second bicuspids increased. CONCLUSIONS: the changes caused by this apparatology at the dental level were the following: distalization of the first superior molars (3.36 mm); besides, the molar suffered a distal inclination; the second bicuspids followed the first molar in its distal movement, whereas the first bicuspid of the side of the distalization was mesialized; the incisives were vestibularized; the cross-sectional width measured at the level of the first molars and first bicuspids decreased, but in the second bicuspids it increased
