Discomfort associated with the use of fixed orthodontic appliances may have a negative influence on patient's oral health-related quality life (OHRQoL). In general, OHRQoL assessments potential to provide information need improve overall care. This study aims assess impact Saudi population and explore gender age perceived treatment.This cross-sectional used generic measure Arabic version Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14), which is responsive changes in health conditions. Data were...

Nano restorative composites have been successfully used in dentistry and high strength wear resistance. Conventional orthodontic adhesives also possess optimal to withstand occlusal forces. This study was done compare the shear bond (SBS) of bracket after bonding with nanorestorative composite adhesives.This in-vitro experimental sixty extracted teeth (divided into two groups). In Group A (n = 30), brackets were bonded Filtek Z350 (3M/Unitek, Monrovia, California, USA), a nano ceramic...

Objective: To identify the insights of dentistry students towards a new 3/1 problem-based learning (PBL) and team-based (TBL) blended package approach.Study Design: Mixed method triangulation design, using validating quantitative data model.

Hyoid bone plays a vital role in the craniofacial dynamics. From maintenance of pharyngeal airway to phonation, deglutition, and mandibular movements, it has multifactorial roles fulfill. The hyoid spatial relationship with cranial base, mandible, cervical vertebrae. This study was performed determine position different anteroposterior growth patterns.75 lateral cephalograms belonging all three sagittal skeletal patterns were evaluated study. angular linear measurements using 10 variables...

The objective of our audit was to assess the quality lateral cephalometric radiographs by investigating percentage radiographic images that satisfied good standards.The standard-based retrospective conducted at Riphah International University, Pakistan, from April September 2018. sample size 50 were randomly selected taken over one year. graded according standards set National Radiation Protection Board two evaluators after necessary calibration. Moreover, percentages met criteria Royal...

Objectives: The objective of the present study was to evaluate and compare bond strength orthodontic brackets bonded permanent teeth with a conventional acid-etching self-etching primer systems. Also, aims mode failure after debonding brackets. Materials Methods: It an experimental study. Fifty extracted premolars were collected, checked, cleaned. Teeth split equally into two groups, group A B. Orthodontic using systems for B, respectively. Shear (SBS) measured universal testing machine,...

The aim of this study was to assess the morphological changes oral mucosa epithelial cells in contact with fixed orthodontic appliances using exfoliated cytology.This conducted on 100 individuals that were divided into two groups (50 each).Buccal cytological smears collected from control group and case at 3 6 months after application appliances.Slides stained papanicolaou stain analysed a light microscope.In group, 43 out 50 patients (86%) exhibited which included variable degrees atrophy...
