Filter by:The present study aimed to investigate clinically the cleaning effectiveness of different treatment modalities, that is, oral irrigator or interdental brush usage addition to routine brushing and examine interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-10, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1, MMP-8 levels in gingival crevicular fluid of orthodontic patients. The null hypothesis was that oral irrigators would be effective compared to interdental brush in the oral care of individuals who are orthodontic patients.
This crossover, in-vivo study was carried out with 10 patients who have been started to be treated at Orthodontics Department. 3 elastomeric ligatures were examined in terms of microbiological and surface roughness.
Introduction The study aimed to investigate the effects of micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) on the changes in mandibular bone volume fraction (Bone Volume/Total Volume, BV/TV), in relation to the MOP effects on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement, using CBCT images. The other objective was to evaluate the effects of different frequency intervals (4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks) of MOPs on mandibular bone volume fraction (BV/TV), in relation to the rate of tooth movement. Methods In 24 participants, orthodontic force of 140-200 grams was applied for mandibular canine retraction. Three micro-osteoperforations (MOP's) were made according to the scheduled intervals of the three different groups (4, 8 and 12 weeks) directly at the mandibular buccal cortical bone of extracted first premolars sites. At the 12th week following MOP application, CBCT scans were performed. CT Analyser software was used to compute trabecular alveolar bone volume fraction (BV/TV).
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) on patients with chronic periodontitis during a post-orthodontic period for 12 months. Following aspects will be assessed: 1. Effects on tooth stability maintenance and bone remodeling. 2. Effects on periodontal inflammation status. 3. Effects on cervical dentin sensitivity and quality of life. The study design is a randomised controlled trail. To eliminate any bias, the investigator will initially hypothesis there is no significant difference in the aforementioned aspects between teeth retained with an adjunctive LLLT strategy and those retained in a conventional regimen.
Evaluation of the effects of the implementation of a new finishing protocol in orthodontics patients
The current study Is a split-mouth Randomized Controlled Trial that was performed to investigate three dimensionally, using digital models and Cone Beam Computed Tomography imaging, the effect of micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) on the rate of tooth movement in a canine retraction model.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the Aerodentis System for orthodontic tooth movement in an open label, two-arms, non-inferiority clinical study. This open-label, two-arm study will follow 45 patients for up to fifteen months. Thirty participants will wear the Aerodentis device, and fifteen participants will wear Invisalign, a commonly used clear appliance. Patients will be assigned to participate in the treatment group using the Aerodentis device at home for 10 hours daily or in the control group using clear correctors for the duration of up to 15 months. Outcome assessments will be performed every 4 weeks. Assessments will include tooth movement and quality of life assessments.
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate and compare stability after orthodontic treatment with an Essix retainer and a bonded cuspid-to-cuspid retainer (CTC), respectively in the mandibular arch and longitudinally follow these patients over time up to 5 years. The patients' perceptions of the two methods are also evaluated with questionnaires during the follow-up period. A further aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between diagnosis, treatment outcome, treatment time, age at start of treatment and stability with an Essix retainer in the maxilla. The null hypotheses are: - that there is no difference in retention capacity between Essix retainer and cuspid-to-cuspid retainer - that there is no difference in patients' perception between Essix retainer and cuspid-to-cuspid retainer - that there is no difference in retention capacity for Essix retainer in the maxilla concerning diagnosis before treatment, treatment outcomes, treatment time and age at start of treatment
A Randomized clinical trial comparing two different force magnitudes in maxillary posterior segment intrusion in adult patients with skeletal open bite malocclusion
Objective: Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics(PAOO) will minimize treatment time. The current study will be carried to evaluate the effectiveness of different bone grafts with a modified, less invasive corticotomy technique in the treatment of adult patients with moderate crowding. Subjects and Methods: Thirty orthodontic patients will be selected. Patients were randomly classified into three groups. Group I will be treated with a modified technique of corticotomy, whereas group II will be treated with the same technique combined with PAOO using bovine derived xenograft, and group III will be treated with the same technique combined with PAOO using with bioactive glass. The total duration of active orthodontic treatment will be estimated. Probing depth, bone density and root length will be also evaluated. The measurements will be recorded.
