Clear aligner treatment offers several advantages, but the available literature shows that some kind of tooth movements are unpredictable. In addition, majority studies focused on one clear system, while different characteristics various systems can provide outcomes. The aim present retrospective cohort study was to evaluate predictability Nuvola® system in achieving torque anterior teeth.Thirty-nine adult patients, who were consecutively treated with aligners, retrospectively selected, and...
We sought to determine whether myocarditis can be a major cause of acute electrical instability or clinical deterioration in HCM patients.A total 119 patients (69 M/50F, mean age 41 +/- 8), 42 with and 77 clinically stable, underwent cardiac catheterization left ventricular endomyocardial biopsy gene analysis sarcomeric proteins. Endomyocardial tissue was processed for histology, immunohistochemistry, polymerase chain reaction the most common cardiotropic viruses. Controls were surgical...
The aim of this study was to evaluate in vitro the effect variations size elastomeric ligatures on static frictional resistance generated by orthodontic sliding mechanics under dry condition. Frictional forces treated with a lubricating material (silicone) were analyzed as well. An Instron testing machine used assess 0.019 x 0.025-inch stainless steel rectangular wire that ligated molar convertible tube and three 0.022-inch pre-adjusted brackets different dimensions: small, medium, large....
Background: The purpose of this study was to examine surface electromyographic (sEMG) activity masticatory muscles before and after functional orthopaedic therapy with Sander appliance.Material Methods: Ten adolescents (5 girls, 5 boys) an Angle Class II, division I malocclusion, 9-13 years old, were submitted sEMG therapy.To verify the neuromuscular equilibrium, standardized EMG activities right left masseter anterior temporal recorded during maximum voluntary clench, analysed calculating:...
The aim of the present study was to evaluate relationship between insertion torque and stability miniscrews in terms resistance against dislocation, then comparing a self-tapping screw with self-drilling one. Insertion measured during placement 30 31 stainless steel (Leone SpA, Sesto Fiorentino, Italy) synthetic bone blocks. Then, an increasing pulling force applied at angle 90° 45°, displacement recorded. statistical analysis showed statistically significant difference mean Maximum Torque...
Background: To investigate the modifications induced by rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on electromyographic (EMG) activities of anterior temporal and superficial masseter muscles, in patients without pre-treatment EMG alterations.Material Methods: Twenty-one with unilateral posterior cross-bite selected from orthodontic department University L'Aquila (Italy), were enrolled.There was no control group this study since each subject acted as a her/himself.Two surface recordings taken: T0...
The loss of third-order information in pre-adjusted brackets due to torsional play is a problem clinical orthodontics. aim this study was evaluate the impact slot height, archwire width and edge bevel's radius on for three brackets/archwire systems.Ninety with 0.022 × 0.028 in. McLaughlin-Bennett-Trevisi prescription from different manufacturers were selected, slot's height depth measured using profile projector. Sixty stainless-steel rectangular archwires sectioned observed SEM measure...
To evaluate if changes in lower incisor position following orthodontic treatment are correlated with development of gingival recessions.Pre- and post-treatment digital models lateral cephalograms 22 subjects were collected retrospectively. The clinical crown length, scallop, papilla height the central measured along cephalometric incisor's inclination, distance from mandibular plane, between Infradentale Menton points. Statistical correlations variables studied. In addition, two groups...
The selection of appropriate sites for miniscrew insertion is critical clinical success.The aim the present study was to evaluate how interradicular spaces measured on panoramic radiograph compare with Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), and crowding can influence presence available space insertion, in order define a new "safe zones" map.A total 80 pre-treatment radiographs CBCT scans corresponding digital models were selected from archives department Dentistry, Aarhus University. Crowding...
The role of the ocular disorders (OD) in pathogenesis MMp is still a controversal issue. Ocular arc reflexes (OAR) may involve changes head and neck posture generate modifications contraction resulting muscle finally weakness. sEMG tests were performed on 28 patients (13 with masticatory muscles pain myopia/15 healthy) rest position eyes open closed. Patients group control (healthy patients) showed no significance difference record open/close test. In non healthy there great differences...
To define a map of interradicular spaces where miniscrew can be likely placed at level covered by attached gingiva, and to assess if correlation between crowding availability space exists.Panoramic radiographs digital models 40 patients were selected according the inclusion criteria. Interradicular measured on panoramic radiographs, while tooth size-arch length discrepancy was assessed models. Statistical analysis performed evaluate are influenced presence crowding.In mandible, most...
INTRODUCTION: Maxillary canine-first premolar transposition (Mx.C.P1) is an uncommon dental positional anomaly that may create many orthodontic problems from both esthetic and functional points of view. OBJECTIVE: In this report we show the management a case Mx.C.P1 associated with bilateral maxillary lateral incisor agenesis unilateral mandibular second METHODS: The patient was treated multibracket appliance extraction lower premolar. RESULTS: treatment completed without need for any...
The aim of the study was to evaluate sella and craniofacial morphological features in growing patients with palatally displaced canines compared controls.Twenty-two subjects were retrospectively selected 22 controls matched for age gender. Lateral cephalograms collected sagittal vertical cephalometric variables measured, together interclinoid distance, depth, diameter. independent samples T-test or Mann-Whitney U-test used compare all between two groups. A Pearson correlation computed that...
