Abstract
It is difficult to treat the molar tooth‘s occlusal guidance, so a simple and easy treatment is desired. Thus, the authors conducted the treatment of the molar tooth's occlusal guidance, by using such simple equipments like a power chain, and sectional wire.The first case was mesial inclination of the mandibular left first molar because of the submergence of the second primary molar, and treated by using, “Simple Molar Controller” which consisted of the lingual arch and the sectional wire.The second case was ectopic eruption of the mandibular both sides second molar, because of lack of eruption space, and we carried out denture guidance by using the crimpable hook and the sectional wire. The right side of the equipment was to utilize elasticity of the elastic and the wire, and the left side was to utilize elasticity of the wire. These two treatment cases showed the results as follows ;1.Because the structure of the equipment in both cases was simple, the adjustment could be completed in a short time, and the chair time of the treatment was short.2.The period of fitting equipment was 3−7 months which was comparatively short. The affected patients did not show pain or discomfort during the fitting period.The results suggest that these methods are technically easy, place little burden on the patient, and bring high treatment efficiency.
