Solução de tecnologia para planejamento e tratamento ortodôntico de dentes inclusos

Abstract

The Additive Manufacturing (MA), actually is used aiming the production of small proto- types, until a recent application in the field of dentistry, intended for the planning, simulation, testing and surgeries auditions and other dental procedures. Some orthodontic surgeries are endowed with levels of difficulty and require dexterity of the highest quality, due mainly to the lack of predictability in the treatment, not allowing a precise and direct plan for the case addressed. Among the most recurrent surgical procedures in this scenario, it is the canine tooth traction surgery included. A situation that occurs frequently during adolescence, requi r- ing a great deal of inference from the responsible professional, that if isn’t treated in time, may compromise the reorganization of other teeth and bring irremediable sequelae in long term. In this context, this research aimed at the development of a technology solution for o r- thodontic planning and treatment of included teeth, where clinical cases were used in which it was indicated the surgery of traction and subsequent alignment of canine teeth included. Free and recent software were analyzed that offered the potential to improve the planning process and subsequent treatment through the creation of a biomodel to serve as the basis of the deci- sions of the surgeon and orthodontists acting in the correction of the problem. In this way the present master's work presents a process of software use, which allows the end user to have a free manipulation on the images in the pre-prototyping phase, thus generating a biomodel that carries beyond the visual load obtained through the treatment of DICOM images, the traject o- ry traversed by the tooth during the surgery, allowing also a virtual simulation of the surgery.
