ABSTRACT Objective: To investigate the long-term influence of fixed lingual retainers on development mandibular gingival recession and to compare prevalence with untreated individuals. Materials Methods: The material consisted 144 subjects: 96 orthodontically treated patients followed for 5 years after therapy 48 age-matched subjects. were divided in two groups: one receiving a retainer (n = 48) no form retention mandible 48). presence or absence calculus accumulation scored before treatment...

Forces generated in orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances create tension and compression zones the periodontal ligament resulting a painful experience for patients. In first phase of treatment, when leveling teeth is needed, nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwires can be completely engaged brackets, even cases extreme crowding, exerting small forces. There great individual variation pain perception related to application forces.The aim this study was investigate among patients dental crowding...

To determine factors associated with treatment duration in impacted maxillary canines (IMCs) using orthopantomography and cone beam computed tomography. Seventeen linear angular measurements were evaluated pretreatment radiographic images of 64 patients (83 IMCs). Treatment from surgical exposure until the canine appeared oral cavity achieving ideal alignment recorded months. Average appearance mouth was 14.61 ± 9.28 months 26.98 12.44 alignment. Buccally emerged 6.56 3.24 ideally aligned...

Introduction. Therapy with fixed orthodontic appliances starts bracket bonding and ends debonding of brackets, leaving enamel surface varied. Objective. The aim this pilot study was to examine before after brackets by the use scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Methods. Epoxy replicas four patients? premolars indicated for therapy were made bonded their teeth a different adhesives (Enlight, No-mix, Fuji Ortho LC Heliosit Orthodontic) (n=4). Two months later, on debonded amounts adhesive left...

This prospective two-center case series feasibility study aimed to investigate the potential of a novel maxillary protraction facemask customized patients' anatomy recorded with 3D face scanning and then produced by digital design additive manufacturing.

The need for bracket bonding to ceramic restorations is increasing. aim of this study was evaluate the effect universal adhesives on adhesion polished or glazed lithium disilicate (LDS) and monolithic zirconia (MZ) surfaces. One hundred twenty brackets (N = 10) were bonded either LDS (e.max CAD B32, Ivoclar Vivadent, Schaan, Liechtenstein) MZ (In-Ceram® YZ, VITA, Bad Sackingen, Germany) blocks using three different combined with Transbond™ XT Paste (3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA). Tested...

Introduction. Dentofacial deformity, a deviation from normal facial proportions and dental relationships, is corrected by jaw repositioning in all three spatial planes, which changes the position tension of surrounding tissues, bones muscles. These may also affect dimensions pharyngeal airways (PA). Objective. The aim this study was to evaluate compare three-dimensional PA patients treated combination mandibular set-back/maxillary advancement versus that had bimaxillary with genioplasty....

Background/Aim: This investigation aimed to evaluate the intensity of self-reported pain and frequency self-medication with analgesics during initial phase orthodontic treatment fixed appliances compare possible differences between maxillary mandibular teeth. Material Methods: In this observational clinical trial 68 patients had similar forces (the same bracket-slot prescription, archwire size material, plan) applied on The recorded use for first seven days treatment. Comparisons teeth...

During orthodontic treatment, pain is a subjective experience influenced by several factors. Orthodontic patients consume analgesics at different rates to alleviate this pain. Correlations between and analgesic consumption were analyzed. Predictive factors not statistically This study was conducted identify the predictive for after initiation of treatment with fixed appliances. Two hundred eighty-six involved in kept seven-day diary which they recorded intensity (using 0–10 numerical rating...

SUMMARY Class III malocclusion is orthodontic anomaly where mandibular arch in mesial position to maxillary arch. Reasons for can be found prognathism, maxillar retrognathism or combination of these two. In most cases it necessary postpone the treatment until growth ceases. However, if certain conditions are accomplished possible start early class improve occlusal relations and provide more favorable environment future growth. The aim this study was present two patients with maloclussion...

Introduction. Anthropological studies show craniofacial changes with a reduction in teeth size during evolution of the human population. Objective. The objective was to measure and compare sizes population Mesolithic-Neolithic sites Iron Gate Gorge from Early Bronze Age site Mokrin. Methods. study included without advanced wear near pulp. material divided according skeletal two groups. Group 1 comprised 107 Lepenski Vir Vlasac. 2 158 Mokrin graveyard dated Age. mesio-distal diameter measured...

Introduction/Objective. This study aimed to translate the original disease-specific Malocclusion Impact Questionnaire (MIQ) into Serbian and validate new version in cohort of young orthodontic patients. Methods. At university clinic, 154 patients filled out MIQ before start treatment; 112 participants same questionnaire four weeks later. The Index Orthodontic Treatment Need ? Dental Health Component (IOTN-DHC) Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) pretreatment scores were recorded. Descriptive...

Background/Aim. Good undergraduate education is necessary to overcome the reluctance of dentists use rubber dam (RD). The aim study was assess dental students? knowledge, training skills, attitudes, and opinions concerning RD in order isolate an operation field. Methods. A 34-item original questionnaire distributed 130 final-year students Faculty Dental Medicine, University Belgrade. questions were divided into four segments: general information, RD-related knowledge attitudes regarding RD,...

Introduction. Orthodontic treatment of Class II Division 1 (II/1) malocclusions in adults can be challenging since skeletal effects are limited. Possible options orthodontic camouflage or orthognatic surgery, severe cases. The aim this paper was to present a successful management malocclusion an adult patient using temporary anchorage devices (TADs). Case report. After detailed clinical examination, study models and cephalometric analysis, 26 years old diagnosed with malocclusion, overjet 12...

Background/Aim. An impacted tooth is a that could not erupt and take its place in the dental row. Impacted maxillary canines are very frequent problem orthodontic practices. They second most teeth, right after third molars. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate two-dimensional three-dimensional position make descriptive analysis possible indicators impaction difficulty risk factors for adjacent root resorption. Methods. In study, 94 subjects with 116 diagnosed canine were...

Introduction: In addition to well-established physical characteristics, Turner syndrome patients have distinct craniofacial morphology.Since short stature is the most typical characteristic, are commonly treated with growth hormone in orderto increase final height. At same time, treatment was found influence and morphologyin various groups of patients. Whereas characteristics well documented,comparatively little known morphology those who hormone.Aim: The aim this study investigate...

During extraction of the primary mandibular right second molar in an 11-year-old girl, unerupted premolar was accidentally extracted. Clinical and radiographic examination showed that immediately replanted immature not oriented positioned correctly. Four hours later, treatment consisted manual extrusion permanent tooth bud, rotation, gentle repositioning into its original position. Adequate replantation confirmed by a post-operative radiograph. After 2 years 4 months, clinical revealed...
