Abstract :
The aim of this paper is to illustrate the use
of a Posterior biteblock modified with TPA and Palatal
crib to obtain the vertical control of maxillary molars,
restrict tongue pressure as well as Intruding posterior
molars thereby autorotating mandible.
Case report Use of posterior biteblock modified with TPA
and Palatal crib for correcting Anterior Openbite in
growing individual is illustrated. Patient was successfully
treated, and the open bite was fully corrected thanks to
molar intrusion, following counter clockwise rotation of
the mandible and tongue correction. Finishing of
alignment was performed in phase II of the treatment
with conventional appliances.
Conclusion Posterior biteblock modified with TPA and
Palatal crib proved to be effective in controlling the
vertical position of maxillary molars promoting the
counter-clockwise rotation of the mandible and
stimulating a different tongue posture.
