done till 8mm of anterior displacement of maxillary
complex occurred.

Skeletal Anchorage system for Open bite correction
-Umemori , Sugawara etal (1999)
• Control of vertical dimension is
very important in correction of
anterior open bite
•‘L’ shaped titanium miniplates are used as a
Source of anchorage for intruding the molars.
Procedure for miniplate
insertion:-
Onplant & Ortho-Implant.
Onplant:-Block
&Hoffman.
It is a flat disk shaped
fixture available in 8 and
10mm in diameter
It has a HA coated surface
for integration with the
surrounding bone.
Ortho-Implant
- Celenza & Hochman
•Similar to onplant but it is an endosseous Implant.
•Its surface is sandblasted and etched to
increase the adhesion to the surrounding bone
Micro Implant
Dimension of micro implant
are 1.2mm in diameter &
6mm in length.

Introduction
Types of magnetic materials
Properties of magnets
Application of magnets in orthodontics.
In 1953, magnets were first used for denture
retention by BEHRAN & EGAN.

SMILEY.
PROPERTIES OF MAGNETS
Flux Density
In dentistry, ferromagnetic materials with
static field are used.
Magnetocrystalline Anisotropy.
Coercivity.
Coulombs law:-This law states that force between
two magnetic poles is directly proportional to
magnitude & inversely proportional to square of the
distance between them.
Curie point:-Pierre Curie(1859-1906)
High force to volume ratio.
Maximal force at shorter distances.
No interruption of magnetic
force lines by intermediate
media.
No friction in attractive force
configuration.
