Among the evaluated measurements, their effects differed from each other only for the measurements Ss—y, Ss—E, and Si—E and nasolabial angle. The most pronounced effects of both appliances were forward movement of mandibular soft and hard tissue landmarks. Values defining the differences between T0 and T1 Table 3 were subject to a large range of values, demonstrating a large variation in individual response.
Longitudinal studies are required to evaluate the stability of the observed soft tissue changes. Google Scholar. Google Preview. Oxford University Press is a department of the University of Oxford.

Haupl According to haupl et al tissue forming stimuli originate from the activity of the tongue,lips ,facial and masticatory muscles. These stimuli are transmitted to the teeth ,paradental tissue, alveolar bone and mandibular joint through a passive ,loose fitting appliance inserted between the teeth,the result being that the transmitted stimuli induce desired changes in the tissues affected.
Force in orthopedic procedures Forces employed in orthodontic and orthopedic procedures are Compressive Tensile Shearing Mechanical appliances use compressive forces and pressure strain Functional appliances use tensile forces causing stress and strain www.
Forces are 1. External forces primary 2. Internal forces secondary External forces are i. Occlusal forces on the dentition ii. Muscle forces from the tongue, lips and cheeks. Internal forces Reaction of tissues to primary forces Internal forces strain the contiguous tissue leading to deformation and bracing of the alveolar process www. Two treatment principles in the use of forces in functional jaw orthopaedics Force elimination Here abnormal and restrictive forces and environmental influences are eliminated ,allowing optimal development Eg, lip bumper and frankel buccal shield Force application In this compressive stress and strain act on the structures involved resulting in secondary adaptation to function.
The bionator is worn continuously except during mealtimes and sports. If the induced strain is to great ,patient will have difficulty wearing the appliance.
Forces generated by the muscles are 1. Passive forces—due to the muscle tonus which is continous but very light 2. Active forces- due to muscle activity which is always www. Mode of action of various functional appliances —the causal chain 1. Increased contractile activity of the lateral pterygoid muscle 2.
Intensification of the repetitive activity of the retrodiscal pad 3. Reduction of local regulators Additional subperiosteal ossification 5.
Supplementary lengthening of the mandible www. Evolution of the bionator The bionator was introduced by Balter in germany in The bionator is a modification of the activatior It is the skeleton of the activator because it has more of metal components. Bionator differs from the activator in 1.
It is less bulky than the activator. It lacks the part covering the anterior section of the palate. Therefore children are able to speak normally Bionator can be worn at day and night except mealtimes. Based on the works of Robin, Andresen,and Haupl 2. The early function and form concepts of Van der Klaaw and the functional matrix theory of Moss The Functional matrix theory According to van der klauw Functional matrix means the non osseous structures of the craniofacial skeleton.
They function in the form of a matrix by stimulating and holding things together. The soft tissue unit is the functional matrix The skeletal unit is the functional cranial component www. Principles of bionator therapy…. The functional matrix theory ….. There are two types of functional matrix 1. Periosteal functional matrix Which comprises of the muscles, blood vessels, nerves and glands. The capsular matrix Which consists of the cerebral matrix and the facial matrix eg. Also the functional matrix theory states that two factors are responsible for growth The intrinsic factor genomic factor The extrinsic factor epigenetic factor The epigenetic factor which are the extraskeletal factors and processes are the primary cause of adaptive and secondary changes.
Principles of bionator therapy … To quote balter , The equilibirium between the tongue and the circumoral muscles especially between the tongue and the lips in the hieght , breath and width in a oral space of maximum size and optimal limits providing functional space for the tongue is essential for natural health of the dental arches and their relation to each other. Every disturbance will deform the dentition and during growth that may be impeded too. The tongue is the essential factor for the development of the dentition.
It is the center of reflex cavity in the oral cavity. Balters treatment objectives 1. To accomplish lip closure and bring the back of the tongue into contact with the soft palate. To enlarge the oral space and to train its function 3. To bring the incisors into edge to edge relationship 4. To achieve an elongation of the mandible which will enlarge the oral space and make improved tongue position possible 5. To achieve an improved relationship of the jaw , tongue and dentition as well as the surrounding tissues.
Role of tongue in bionator therapy The tongue is the most important factor in treatment using the bionator A discoordination of the function could lead to abnormal growth and actual deformation The purpose of the bionator is to establish good functional coordination and eliminate these deforming and growth restricting aberrations www. According to Balter a class II malocclusion is due to a backward positioning of the tongue ,disturbing the cervical region.
Respiratory function in the region of the larynx is impeded and there is faulty deglutition associated with mouthbreathing. Abnormal tongue development can be secondary ,adaptive or compensatory because of skeletal maldevelopment.
Eliminating abnormal and potentially deforming environmental factor www. The dental arches are well aligned originally. The mandible is in functional retrusion. The skeletal discrepancy is not to severe. A labial tipping of the upper incisors is evident.
Contraindications to bionator therapy The bionator is not indicated in the following conditions 1. The class II relationship is caused by maxillary prognathism. A vertical growth pattern is present. Labial tipping of the lower incisors is evident. Anterior posturing of the mandible with simultaneous up righting of the lower incisors cannot be performed with the bionator. Children with neuromuscular diseases such as poliomyelitis and cerebral palsy cannot be successfully treated with functional appliances because functional appliance therapy depends on neuromuscular response www.
Types of Bionator There are three basic types 1. Standard bionator for class II division malocclusion 2. Openbite bionator 3. Reversed or Class III bionator www. Standard Bionator Uses of a standard bionator 1. In the treatment of class II division I malocclusion in order to correct the backward position of the tongue and its consequences. For the treatment of narrow dental arches of class I malocclusion Components parts 1.
Labial bow 2. Palatal bar 3. Construction bite or acrylic portion www. Standard Bionator…. The vestibular wire or labial bow It is made of 0. It emerges from the acrylic below the contact point between the upper canine and the premolar. From there it at a sharp angle it extends obliquely upwards towards the upper canine , bends to a level line at approximately the incisal third of the incisors and extends to the canine of the opposite side.
The labial surface of the bow should be away from the incisors by approximately the thickness of writing paper www. Function of labial bow in standard bionator 1. To guide the posture and function of the lips and cheeks 2. The posterior portion of the labial bow are designed as buccinator loops They keep the soft tissue away of the cheeks which is normally drawn into the interocclusal space.
They actually move the surface of the orobuccal capsule laterally ,. Function of labial bow in standard bionator………… 3. The position of the wire provides a negative pressure supporting lip closure. Graber TM, Neuman B.
