Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / This investigation compared the spring characteristics of three space closing assemblies; the classic "Bull" loop and two new spring designs currently being used in the Department of Orthodontics at Indiana University. Using interbracket distance and the degree of gable preactivation as variables, a complete laboratory analysis was carried out on each spring design. A total of two hundred springs were tested. A statistical investigation was conducted to determine if the spring designs had significantly different load-deflection rates, moment to force ratios, and range of activation. The range of activation for all three spring designs was large enough to be of some minor importance in determining the difference in efficiency of each design. However, when the load-deflection rates and moment to force ratios of the "Bull" loop and the two new spring designs were compared, the new spring designs invariably proved to be superior. From this laboratory study, it was concluded that the two new spring designs have the potential of providing a more efficient method of orthodontic space closure.

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / It was the purpose of this study to discover if anteroposterior movement of the maxillary bones was possible. Seven cats were used as the experimental animals. An expansion device which produced a diagonal force from one maxillary cuspid to the opposite molar was inserted in five of the animals. Two animals were used as controls. The effects of the lateral and antero-posterior components of the force were studied by means of before and after models, oriented occlusal radiographs, and histologic sections. Antero-posterior movement did occur. The anterior movement was more evident than the posterior movement due to the response evoked in the premaxillary-maxillary and the maxillary-palatine sutures. The sutures which were compressed showed very little response when viewed in horizontal histologic sections as compared to the sutures which were under tension. The sutures under tension showed marked osteophytic production which generally grew parallel to the line of force application. This difference in response allowed one side to remain as an anchorage unit while the opposite side moved anteriorly. The lateral increase in width appeared to be stable. In one animal the force was removed for thirty six days prior to sacrifice. In this animal the stability of the antero-posterior movement was questionable.
