Even though I am but one orthodontist, I feel that I can speak for many.

We have missed the weekly or monthly dialogue offered by your creation.

Somehow, I feel less alone knowing that I have the ability to ask questions of my peers and receive (relatively) unbiases answers.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,

Dr.M. Jayaram, Cyanoacrylates have been used for many years. Most people know it as super glue. Emergency rooms use it in place of sutures. It is called Derma Bond marketed by Johnson and Johnson. http://www.dermabond.com/ They also market liquid Band Aid http://www.jnj.com/innovations/new_features/BANDAID_Brand_Liquid_Bandage.htm The stuff is actually produced by Closure Medical Corporation which in 2000 entered into agreement with Colgate Palmolive for Colgate to market Orabase Soothe-N-Seal. Soothe-N-Seal is the first cyanoacrylate medical device approved by the FDA for the over-the-counter consumer market for canker sores. http://www.closuremed.com/PressReleases/pr_12-21-00.htm http://www.colgate.com/cp/global.class/showcasetool/templates/displayProduct.jsp?id=44 Glustitch is also another company that manufactures cyanoacrylates for medical/dental use. http://www.glustitch.com/ Here is some literature on the use of in dentistry. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=9812430&dopt=Abstract http://www.dent.ucla.edu/pic/members/litreview/dressing/lr_dressing01.html http://www.dent.ucla.edu/pic/members/litreview/dressing/lr_dressing10.html Jonathon Lee, DDS Private Practice Foster City, CA USA

Dear all

I want just want to know if any one had ever used extra-oral appliances on adults.

I used them on four cases as a retentive appliances on the last phases of treatments, I instructed patients to use them in the night for about eight hours and with forces less than 400g. per side.

The cases "I used such procedures on" had been open bite cases of adults with ages between eighteen and twenty-five, who previously had been treated by fixed appliances and had a patent predispositions for recurrence.

The consequences had been so enthusiastic with no recurrence or side-effects registration,however, according to what I read I didn't find ever such an indication among those of chin-cup, as I remember.

If anyone had any opinion please notify me.

Thanks to all.

Dear Group,
Does anyone has experience with lower implants for closing missing first molar spaces? I have used palatal implants for anchorage, but I have not used lower non-dental anchorage. I have many patients with missing lower first molars that would rather close the space than restore it. Any experience you can share?
Thanks,
SK
