Junji talks through his experiences of pre- Skeletal Anchorage Systems (SAS) / bone plates and what has changed with SAS focusing on class 3 cases

 

  • Without Skeletal anchorage
    • Camouflage: Required extractions
    • Use of MEAW for control – technically challenging
    • Pre surgical preparation: Time consuming

 

  • SAS for camouflage lower arch distalisation
    • SAS positioned buccal to lower molars.
    • Indirect ligation to premolar with ligature
    • Distalisation with pushcoil from premolar to molar

 

  • SAS for camouflage upper arch protraction
    • SAS ‘I’ design (2 eyelets) positioned upper arch premolar region
    • Indirect ligation to molar with ligature
    • Mesialisation with pushcoil from molar to premolar

 

  • SAS for upper molar distalisation
    • SAS ‘Y’ design positioned on zygomatric buttress
    • Indirect ligation canine with ligature
    • Distalisation with pushcoil from canine to molar

 

  • SAS for surgery first
    • Placed same time as orthognathic surgery
    • Class 3 case, allows for distalisation post op – to decompensate upper incisors as described previously
    • Predictable final position of upper incisors
    • Treatment time less than 1 year
