Abstract This within subject clinical experiment assessed oral health impacts before and after Invisalign orthodontic treatment their relationships with personality characteristics. 50 patients (26 females 24 males; mean age = 27.62 ± 8.25 years, SE 1.17, 95% CI 24.71–29.89 years) were treatment. Treatment success was evaluated according defined guidelines. Oral measured via the Health Impact Profile (OHIP). Personality features NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI). Probability of α .05...

To determine the influence of socioeconomic status (SES) on normative and perceived orthodontic treatment need, satisfaction with dental appearance, regularity attendance.The sample consisted 550 adolescents (232 boys, 318 girls) aged 13 to 17 years who were categorized according SES into three groups: low, middle, high SES. Normative need was assessed by using Index Orthodontic Treatment Need. Data collected clinical examination face-to-face interview. The χ(2) test logistic regression...

To compare the academic performance of 4th-year dental students randomly divided into three learning groups: live lecture, video recorded lecture and audio lecture. assess students' attitudes towards methods.4th-year undergraduate students, enrolled in Orthodontics Theory-1 course, were randomised groups receiving different teaching methods; Subjects asked to answer two open-ended questions. The first was a simple basic knowledge question which involved transcribing information from...

Abstract Background Ethnic background has been claimed to affect arch form. The purpose of this study was describe and elucidate the maxillary mandibular forms in Jordanian population develop a classification method for these which could be employed construct orthodontic archwires accordingly. Methods sample comprised casts five hundred twenty subjects (231 males 289 females with mean age 15.4 ± 1.02 years). All had permanent dentition normal occlusion. A mathematical associated polynomial...

Photo-elastic models replicating a lower arch with moderate degree of incisor crowding and palatally displaced maxillary canine were used to evaluate the stresses transmitted roots teeth by initial alignment archwires. Six archwires compared, two multi-strand stainless steel wires, non-super-elastic (stabilized martensitic form) nickel titanium stress-induced super-elastic (austenitic active) wires. Three specimens each archwire type tested. Analysis photo-elastic fringe patterns, in medium...

ABSTRACT Objectives To compare patient-reported pain, discomfort, and difficulty in maintaining proper brushing between nickel-titanium closed-coil springs (CS) elastomeric power chains (PC) when used for space closure. The secondary aims were to plaque control efficiency of closure these two force delivery systems. Materials Methods A total 48 patients who required extractions upper first premolars distal movement canines had the CS randomly allocated either right or left side. Blinding was...

To identify research articles related to cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) that generated the highest online attention.Altmetric Explorer was used 100 with Altmetric Attention Score (AAS). Descriptive and correlation statistics were performed study characteristics of these in relation their publication data, type domain, number Mendeley readers, dimensions citations. Citation counts extracted from Scopus Google Scholar.The median AAS for top outputs 22 (range 12 458). The mostly discussed on...

Optimal orthodontic force results in maximum rate of tooth movement without tissue damage. Even though starting treatment with a thicker archwire may shorten duration, the evidence on effect using 0.018-inch NiTi as first alignment pulpal blood flow (PBF) status is still scarce.to record PBF changes and pain scores associated during fixed treatment.Patients were selected from subjects attending postgraduate teaching clinics at Jordan University Science Technology. In total, forty healthy...

Background: Bone remodeling is a complex process that includes continuous resorption by osteoclast cells and bone formation osteoblast cells. fragility common health issue of the elderly population, particularly in postmenopausal women. It has been established steroidal hormones have an important role homeostasis. Therefore hormone replacement therapy could beneficial effects on as compared to other treatments. Objectives: An imbalance between rate leads bones. During current study, we aimed...
