2. Aims At the end of this lecture/presentation, we should be able to discuss about: • Definition • Component • Indication • Contraindication Of the following appliances, which are: • Bionator • ELSAA • ACCO

3. B I O N A T O R

4. Introduction Functional appliance - One that changes the posture of mandible, hold it open, or make it open and forward Graber and Neumann Classification • Those that displace the mandible to a moderate degree and are intended to stimulate muscle activity i.e. myodynamic - Bionator

5. Classification FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCE Fixed Removable Activator Bionator • Tooth borne passive appliance (activator, bionator) • Tooth borne active appliance • Tissue borne passive appliance - FR

6. Definition • Activator and Bionator are loosely fitting acrylic that work mainly to covers the occlusal portion of teeth of both arches and the palate. • The only difference between these appliances is, in Bionator, the palatal coverage is eliminated to increase patient comfort and is replaced by a metal bar. • The reduce bulkiness allow for more normal speech patterns compared to Activator appliance. • Additional component can be added in order to prevent oral habit

10. Bionator has three components: • Acrylic base • Palatal bar • Labial bow

11. Acrylic base / component

12. Palatal bar • 1.2 mm wire • Extend from a line connecting distal surface of 6 to middle of 4 • ~1mm away from palatal mucosa Fx -orients the tongue & mandible anteriorly by stimulating its dorsal surface with palatal bar

13. Labial bow • 0.9 mm wire • Begin above contact point between 3 and 4 – runs vertically • Labial portion of bow should be at a paper thickness away from incisor

14. Indications • Dental arches well aligned • Mandible in posterior position • Skeletal discrepancy not severe • Labial tipping of upper incisors evident • Class III where reverse bionator can be used • Open bite

15. Contraindications • Class II – if caused by max prognathism • Vertical growth pattern • Labial tipping of mandibular incisors

20. Adam’s clasp

21. Anterior bite plane reduce OB

22. Palatal springs activated as the apliance is expanded → procline and align incisor

23. Midline screw allow expansion to prevent posterior crossbite developing during sagittal correction

24. Indications • To align and procline the upper labial segment in class II cases prior to functional appliance therapy. • Creating an overjet when the upper incisors are either upright or retroclined, which usually only takes a few months and then allows good posture of the mandible to be achieved with a functional appliance.

28. Adam’s Clasps • generally placed on maxillary first premolars to provide additional retention and support

29. Finger springs • Provide the distal tipping force on the maxillary first molars

30. Labial bow • It contacts the labial aspect of the maxillary incisors and acts as a form of anterior anchorage.

31. Palatal acrylic • Aids in retention and serves as a framework for other components to attach.

32. Others… • Anterior bite plate • It functions to disclude the posterior dentition, allowing movement of the maxillary first molar to occur.

33. Others… • Headgear • Counteracts anterior forces of ACCO and translates the maxillary first molars distally.

34. Indications • In Class II cases • to distalize the maxillary first molars into a Class I position • to restrict the growth of the maxilla when it is prognathic or the mandible is retrognathic.

35. Contraindications • The ACCO should not be used when patient compliance is questionable. • Since the ACCO is a removable appliance, it requires the patient to wear it willingly while also maintaining proper oral hygiene. • dental and skeletal open bite cases with a high mandibular plane angle and in patients with increased lower face height • ACCO has a tendency to open the bite by allowing the molars to erupt. This is due to the anterior bite plate which discludes the posterior dentition
