Filter by:Stability of the orthodontic miniscrews placed in the mandible is still considered to bare higher risk of failure compared to other intraoral locations. The aim of our study was to determine the influence of the miniscrew size on their long-term stability, occurrence of oral mucosa inflammation and pain lasting over 48 hours after implantation.
54 patients who need extraction-based treatment of the maxillary first premolars with subsequent retraction of the maxillary canines will be divided randomly into three groups in this trial. The prolonged duration of the treatment period can cause many side effects such as white spots, caries, periodontal diseases, and pain and discomfort. So many efforts have been made to reduce the treatment time. Many procedures have been introduced to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, which can category as surgical or non-surgical. Piezocision is a minimally invasive surgical method for accelerating orthodontic tooth movement and shortening treatment time. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is one of the physical acceleration methods that have contributed to decreasing treatment time. There are three groups: The first group (control group): the canine retraction in this group will be performed in conventional method. The second group (Experimental group): the canine retraction in this group will be performed in association with piezocision. The third group (Experimental group): the canine retraction in this group will be performed in association with low-level laser therapy.
The duration of orthodontic treatment is one of the exacerbation causes of orthodontic pain. Several methods have been suggested to reduce the duration of orthodontic treatment classified to surgical and non-surgical methods. Researches used minimally invasive surgical methods like corticision, piezocesion, disicion, micro-osteoperforation, and piezopuncture indicated that most of these methods can accelerate dental movement by 20 - 40% without causing additional pain as a result of using those methods. Applying corticision on the lower anterior teeth using a surgical blade and a hammer may accelerate tooth alignment during orthodontic treatment. This study consists of two groups, patients will be randomly assigned to one of these two groups.
Sixty patients need extraction-based treatment of the maxillary first premolars with subsequent retraction of the maxillary canines will be divided randomly into three groups: piezocision group, low-level laser therapy group, and control group. In each group, the canine retraction will be started after completion of the leveling and alignment phase via closed nickel-titanium coil springs applying 150 g of force per side. For anchorage, a soldered trans-palatal arch will be used. Pre- and post distalization dental casts will be assessed to study the rate of canine retraction, as well as, canine rotation and anchorage loss over a follow-up period until a class I canine relationship is achieved.
There are situations where orthodontic treatment cannot provide long-term benefits. The proposed orthotropic theory proposes that environmental factors cause malocclusion and genes decide its pattern. The primary aim of this project is to increase the success, aesthetics and permanence of the treatment result by providing the best facial change of the pediatric patients in the MP3cap period, and that myofunctional exercises can be used in addition to orthodontic treatments during the treatment process of the patients.
It is crucial to maintain the anatomic condylar positions during orthognathic surgery. Condylar positions are affected directly under general anesthesia because of joint and muscle relaxation. Possible unwanted changes in the joint position may cause incorrect positioning of the jawbones. This could affect the success of the surgery in terms of function and facial aesthetics causing the need for a second surgery. Our aim is to evaluate whether the use of MR Splint has a statistically significant effect on muscle relaxation-induced condyle position deviations under general anesthesia in Class III Laterognathia patients.
The "sagittal first" approach to Class II correction in orthodontic treatment involves correcting the antero-posterior (AP) relationship of the maxillary and mandibular dentition prior to the leveling and aligning phase of orthodontic treatment. The Carriere Motion Appliance (CMA) was made to provide sagittal correction prior to orthodontic treatment with minimal secondary tooth movements that are typically seen with Class II correction. The aim in this study is to explore the efficacy and efficiency of Class II molar correction in adolescent patients using the sagittal first approach with either a sectional, in-office fabricated appliance or the CMA, by measuring total treatment duration (in months) as well as comparing dental and skeletal measurements taken from lateral cephalometric radiographs obtained prior to Class II correction (T0) and immediately after removal of the appliance (T1). The investigators will also be comparing secondary molar and canine rotational movements after Class II correction by comparing digital dental casts obtained at T0 and T1.
in this study i will use to different designs of t maxillary hybrid expanders that consists of HYREX supported with tow miniscrews to treat the collapsed maxilla in Yonge adolescents
study will be directed to evaluate two approaches of micro-osteoperforations during maxillary molar distalization.
This clinical study will be directed to compare the effect of presence or absence of third molar on distalization of the upper posterior segment by using carriere motion appliance
