Dental Tribune Middle East & Africa Edition | 1/2017 ORTHO TRIBUNE E4 Perfect Orthodontic Performance ByLeoneS.p.A. The innovative and biomechanical orthodontic expansion screw POP is made of stainless steel and biomedi- cal techno polymer. The male screw is not in contact with the orthodon- tic acrylic resin; the function of the screw will not be influenced by the quality of the technical procedure andanon-compliantcuringtime. Continuous expansion movement: the high pressure injection of the polymer allows the perfect copy of the male thread of the screw, thus ensuring a steady expansion trans- mission without the risk of unde- sired turning back in the mouth. The self-centring rectangular guides en- sure a biomechanical and absolutely controlled symmetrical expansion. Theflatshapeoftheguidesandtheir flexibility allow the gradual release of the expansion with a physiologi- calorthodonticmovement.Theflex- ibility of the screw allows the adjust- ments of any dental regress due to inconsistent use of the appliance by the patient, thus being very effec- tive with holding devices following a rapidexpansiontreatment. The high adaptability of the appli- ance enables a comfortable applica- tion in the mouth in the days fol- lowing reactivation. Two embossed arrows on the body indicate the direction of opening. When using a colour of acrylic resin similar to the polymer body, a white arrow pro- vided with the plastic placement tab may be easily applied to make the directionofactivationvisible. The placement plastic tab, made of two pieces combined with a unique geometry, allows perfect protection of the holes from the acrylic resin during the packing procedure and facilitates the removal after the cur- ing cycle. The screw body is available infivecolours.
