[Magnets and orthodontics. Biological-clinical study. 2].
The authors after preliminary remarks on new magnetic alloys, stress some biomechanic aspects related to distalization of upper molars. Radiologic examination of teeth during distalization shows a good rate of crown/tooth ratio movement. Where magnets were worn in combination with extraoral traction, they seemed to be more effective on the "test" sides rather than on the "control" sides where only extraoral forces acted.
