Filter by:This clinical trial evaluated the efficacy of micro osteoperforations in accelerating the retraction of maxillary incisors.
To evaluate the efficacy of twin arch brackets compared to conventional brackets in the control of orthodontic tooth movement.
The large body of evidence supports the chemotherapeutic potential of substances found in Olive Oil (OO), acting on different sides, such as inflammation, oxidative damage, and even epigenetic modulation. The consumption of OO should be suggested in a healthy diet instead of other types of oils. It looks worthy, to determine the effect of local application of Olive Oil in decreasing the friction between brackets and wires during orthodontic treatment.
The study compares the rate of en-masse retraction using 0.018-inch versus 0.022-inch slot orthodontic bracket systems in adult patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion.
This is a prospective, interventional, non-randomized, control, split-mouth, open-label, single centre, private practice study aimed to evaluate the effect of tooth movement during orthodontic treatment using a removeable thermoplastic orthodontic appliance. Intrusion and extrusion will be conducted using bilaterally equivalent elastomeric forces of 50 grams. A comparison of the rate of bilateral orthodontic tooth movement will be conducted using six (6) varied photobiomodulation interventions on the maxillary (upper) and mandibular (lower) arches. The OrthoPulse Gen 2 and OrthoPulse (commercially approved) devices are being used in this clinical investigation. Each subject enrolled will go through intrusion and extrusion. All subjects will be allocated to an OrthoPulse split-mouth intervention by the investigator.
The aims of this study will be to evaluate if a Lower Level Laser Therapy (LLLT): (1) enhances the levels of important pro-inflammatory chemokines involved in the bone remodeling process; (2) increases the rate of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) on human subjects.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of photobiomodulation therapies on root resorption compared with the placebo group. Materials and Methods: 30 patients, who were admitted to the …………. University Faculty of Dentistry Orthodontics Department for treatment, with an indication of upper right 1st premolar tooth extraction was included. Before the individuals' orthodontic treatment, 0.022 slot MBT brackets and tubes were placed on the maxillary 1st premolar and molar. A 150g buccal tipping force was applied to the 1st premolar. Individuals were then randomly divided into 3 groups. For the first group; laser application was performed with a 810 nm GaAlAs laser device at 0,3,7,14,21 and 28 days to 8 J/cm2. Second group; an LED application according to the manufacturer's instructions with a 850 nm wavelength and 20 mW/cm2 output power for 10 minutes per day during the experiment. Third group; a placebo therapy was completed whereby a laser device that did not make active pulses was used. At the end of four weeks, the amount of root surface resorption was compared using micro-CT imaging after the extraction of the teeth.
Increasing the speed of orthodontic treatment is an emerging clinical problem and therefore the evaluation of the effects of photobiomodulation applications and methods on orthodontic tooth movement is considered as an important factor. When literature studies are examined, different studies have been performed on Laser and LED applications, however, the lack of a study that evaluates and compares the effectiveness of these methods in terms of clinical and biochemical parameters. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of laser and LED applications on tooth movement speed and to investigate the effects of these applications on the gingival fluid IL-8, OPG, RANKL. Total of 24 patients with maxillary first-premolar extraction orthodontic treatment will be included in this study, and this study will consist of 3 groups, Laser, LED and placebo group. The laser will be applied on days 0,3,7,14,21,28,35, take impression of teeth and gingival fluid samples will be collected in these days. LED group will be given 10 minutes LED for 30 days, taken impression and DOS samples will be collected on specified days. In the placebo group, the non-active pulse laser light will be kept in the teeth and the patients will not know which group in they are. Thus, the psychological dimension of the applications will be eliminated. Sampling will be done for the placebo group on the days determined. The investigator's project proposal consists of a total of 5 work packages; Determination of patient groups in the 1st stage and obtaining consent forms, 2nd stage Photobiomodulation applications (laser, LED, placebo application), 3rd stage orthodontic measurement and evaluation of these measurements 3D environment, taking gingival fluid samples in the 4th stage and evaluating them biochemically. In the 5th stage, statistical analysis and evaluation of the results will be done. The data will be evaluated with SPSS 21.0.In this study, it is tried to reduce the time spent in the orthodontic treatment to close the extraction area. In this way, it will contribute to economy and time saving in terms of all orthodontic treatment physicians and physicians. It will illuminate the application of LED device which is more advantageous in terms of cost and space gain in clinical practice of physicians.
The aim of this randomized split-mouth study was to quantify simultaneously 30 analytes including cytokines, chemokines and growth factors in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in response to different magnitudes of forces during maxillary canine distalization. The upper right and left canines were distalized using a continuous force of 75 g or 150 g in 15 individuals who had Class II division I malocclusion requiring bilateral extraction of maxillary first premolars. GCF samples were obtained from the tension and the pressure side of each canine at appliance placement and after force application at 24 hours and 28 days. A multiplexed bead immunoassay was used to quantify 30 analytes simultaneously. The effect of force, side and time on the analyte levels were analyzed with Brunner-Langer method.
The study design of this research project involves orthodontic patients registered at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine who are deemed eligible to undergo orthodontic treatment and who have been provided with sufficient information to make informed consent to join the sleep study. These patients will be provided with the Medibyte sleep monitor and instructed on the proper manner in which it should be set up and worn for the one night study period. This process will be carried out twice throughout the course of the study, once before any orthodontic appliance has been cemented and once after the required amount of tooth movement has been attained with the orthodontic appliance still in place. The de-identified data from the Medibyte monitor will be downloaded using the Braebon software and analyzed.
