Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess and compare the effect of two appliances (Hybrid-Hyrax expander/ Bonded rapid maxillary expander (RME)) supported by different anchorage units and two different expansion procedures (routine rapid maxillary expansion protocol (routine)/ alternative rapid expansion and constriction protocol (alt-RAMEC)) on maxillary protraction during face mask (FM) treatment.
The goal of this controlled clinical trial is to compare the effects of two distalization methods supported by inter-radicular mini-screw for maxillary molars distalization in 20 adult patients with skeletal class I or moderate skeletal class II malocclusion, dental class II molar relationship, and full permanent dentition. The participants were randomly selected according to inclusion / exclusion criteria from the outpatient clinic of the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Faculty of dentistry, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. Selectees age was ranging from 18 to 25 years old. An informed consent has been signed by each patient before his / her enrollment in this study, where the aim , methodology, and possible complications were been clearly described in details. This research has been thoroughly reviewed by the Research Ethics Committee of the Faculty of dentistry, Ain Shams University.
Background: Jawline improvement is nowadays a strong patients' demand. Among patients undergoing orthognathic surgery, it remains sometimes a challenge to manage angle definition due to the classic mandibular osteotomy trait which mostly allows sagittal mandibular movements but can't modify the ramus height. A few types of osteotomies can be used to improve jawline's shape while correcting malocclusion, but they remain technically difficult and often imply the necessity for bone grafting and/or the use of a specific saw and screwdriver. The advent of computer-assisted surgical planning and computer-aided design/ computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) techniques for patient-specific implant (PSI) fabrication has enabled new methods for managing the jawline in orthognathic surgery. The aim of this study was to assess jawline improvement with patient-specific angle implants in patients undergoing orthognathic surgery with standard osteotomies.Methods: A virtual simulation of a Le Fort I osteotomy (if needed), a sagittal split ramus osteotomy with patient-specific titanium angle implants, and a genioplasty (if needed) was conducted on a preoperative three-dimensional (3D) model of each patient's skull using ProPlan CMF software (Materialise, Leuven, Belgium). Computer-assisted osteotomy saw-and-drill guides and patient-specific implants (PSIs, titanium plates and angle implants) were produced and used during the surgery. The investigators chose to focus on jawline improvement by comparing the preoperative and the post-operative 3D-photographs using the VECTRA H2 3D imagine system (Canfield Scientific, **).
The goal of this clinical trial is to show the effect of patient specific lateral nasal wall osteotomy to the pterygomaxillary separation during Le Fort I down-fracture. Participants will be divided into two treatment groups. In study group, surgery planned according to the patients' indivudial anatomy and in the conventional group, surgery planned according to mean anatomical datas. Researchers will compare patient specific lateral nasal wall osteotomy to see if it affects the pterygomaxillary junction seperation during le fort I downfracture.
This clinical trial aimed to compare the effect of immediate light short Class II elastics versus conventional Class II elastics on the skeletal, dental and soft tissues in patients with Class II malocclusion. Participants with class II malocclusion divided into 2 groups; early group wore immediate light short Class II elastics and conventional group wore conventional Class II elastics on rigid stainless steel arch wires.
The primary aim of the study is to compare the perception of pain and discomfort with two different protocols of attachments' placement during clear aligner therapy: the conventional protocol (CP), when attachments' placement is performed are placed at the delivery of the first aligner; the delayed protocol (DP), when the attachments' placement is performed at the delivery of the third aligner. The rationale of this study is to evaluate whether dividing the two phases most associated with the onset of pain and discomfort, namely the initiation of aligner therapy and the placement of attachments, can improve patients' quality of life during clear aligner treatment. Patients' discomfort will be evaluated with a questionnaire adapted by OHIP-14 (Oral Health Impact Profile 14).
use new hybrid aesthetic functional appliance for treatment of class II div 1 malocclusion.
: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the dento-skeletal effects of the mini-implant supported Twin Block versus the incisal capped appliance in the treatment of skeletal class II patients with mandibular retrognathism. Methods: Twenty patients with skeletal class II mandibular retrusion were included in the study. They were recruited with a random and equal allocation into 2 groups. The first group was treated with incisal capped TB without skeletal anchorage. The second group were treated with mini-implant supported TB. The mini-implants were inserted in the inter-radicular region between the mandibular second premolar and first molar. Intra-oral elastics were attached from the mini-implant to the wire hook in the canine region of the lower part of the TB and they were changed every 24 hrs. 100 to 150 gm of force was applied. Cephalometric radiographs were acquired at the beginning (T1) and end of treatment (T2). The paired-samples and independent-samples t-tests were used to evaluate and compare the changes within groups and between groups, respectively.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare the effect of LLLT in adolescent patient with class II malocclusion. The main question it aims to answer is: • is there a difference in the amount of distalization between laser and control groups? Participants will received bony supported distal jet. Researchers will compare laser group with control group to see if there is a difference in amount of distalization between groups.
The goal of this prospective, single-arm clinical trial is to evaluate the speech performance of children with anterior dental crossbite before and after correction. Also, to assess the impact of early interceptive orthodontic treatment in the mixed dentition stage to correct the anterior dental crossbite on the quality of life of children. Fifty children of both sexes aged from 8 to 10 years were enrolled and evaluated using the study's inclusion & exclusion criteria. before beginning interceptive orthodontic treatment, each child underwent full mouth treatment. then, using a removable anterior expansion screw along with posterior bite planes to treat the anterior crossbite. All children were subjected to the Protocol of speech evaluation before appliance insertion and after complete correction of anterior crossbite. Also, the Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ 8-10) in the Brazilian version was used to gauge how the anterior crossbite affected the children's oral health-related quality of life.
