Filter by:The aim of this study is to evaluate in a prospective, randomized, controlled clinical trail the effectiveness of preorthodontic piezotomy combined with a buccal bone augmentation (in other name periodontlly accelerated osteogenic orthodontics: PAOO)in the prevention of gingival recession, and in the acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM).
The aim of this study was to evaluate the tooth movement with and without piezocision with regard to the levels of osteocalcin and cross-linked C-terminal telopeptides of type I collagen in the gingival crevicular fluid.
PRP from 5 ml blood was prepared and 60 units were injected into the buccal vestibule of patient before initiating canine retraction using NiTi coil spring. Pre and post cervical, incisal and mid distances were measured using Vernier calliper.
This study investigates the efficiency of orthodontic aesthetic archwires which are coated with tooth-colored materials and the durability of the coatings after being used. Theoretically, the coatings provide excellent aesthetics throughout treatment and faster tooth alignment. However, from our clinical experience, these claims are the opposite. Cracks and ruptures as well as archwire fractures have been noted. Therefore, it is presumed that the aesthetic archwires may not be any different from the conventional uncoated archwires.
Gingival Crevicular Fluid samples will be collected using periopapers after accelerated tooth movement technique, results will be assessed with biomarkers levels done using ELISA Assays
The AcceleDent® device has been introduced to the specialty of orthodontics in order to reduce treatment time. The theory behind AcceleDent® is that high frequency vibratory forces (30Hz) delivered to the teeth will stimulate the bone remodeling that is necessary for tooth movement to occur more quickly. Additionally, one claim of the AcceleDent® product is that it may reduce pain and discomfort during orthodontic treatment. This study will be a parallel group, triple-blind randomized clinical trial comparing two groups of subjects with 12 participants in each group. Subjects will be randomized to receive one of two vibrational units, which will differ in frequency and/or amplitude of vibration. The subjects will be asked to change their aligners every week instead of every 2 weeks, which is common with Invisalign.
Currently, orthodontic treatment typically lasts approximately 2 years. There are a number of advantages for reducing the duration of treatment, including reducing the potential risk of caries, root resorption and for minimizing patient "burn out" from prolonged treatment. While some evidence does exist that vibration may accelerate the speed of tooth movement, the biological mechanism is still unknown. Identification of specific factors involved in tooth movement that are further stimulated by vibration would help to understand the mechanisms involved as well as discover possible biologic targets which could be utilized or modified to maximize the benefits of vibration treatment. The purpose of this study is to identify novel biological factors that are expressed in patients undergoing orthodontic tooth movement in conjunction with vibration appliance therapy.
In orthodontics, conventional fixed appliances, usually consisting of prefabricated components, require step-by-step adjustment in order to move teeth in the planned direction. May treatment be improved with customized archwires? Study hypotheses: - By using CAD/CAM in planning and fabrication of customized archwires, unnecessary tooth movements can be avoided and teeth can be moved on their direct path to the intended position. - The application of CAD/CAM improves reproducibility, efficiency, and quality of orthodontic treatment.
