Evidence shows that the quality of reporting randomised controlled trials (RCTs) is not optimal. The lack transparent impedes readers from judging reliability and validity trial findings researchers extracting information for systematic reviews results in research waste. Consolidated Standards Reporting Trials (CONSORT) statement was developed to improve RCTs. Within person are used conditions can affect two or more body sites, a useful efficient tool because comparisons between...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the periodontal tissues patients with mandibular fixed retention for long or short periods time. A total 64 individuals were selected using following inclusion criteria: long-term lingual retention; identical type retainer bonded same materials; no cavities, restorations, fractures anterior teeth; absence habits and occlusal interferences; canine guidance bilaterally. resultant sample comprised 32 (mean age 25 years) who had been in a mean period...
The purpose of this research was to investigate the torque capacity active and passive self-ligating brackets compared with metallic, ceramic, polycarbonate edgewise brackets. Six types orthodontic were included in study: Speed Damon2, stainless steel (SS), Ultratrimm Discovery, ceramic bracket, Fascination 2, Brillant. All had a 0.022-inch slot size torqued 0.019 x 0.025-inch SS archwires. For purpose, labial crown an upper central incisor measured simulated intraoral clinical situation...
To assess the reporting quality of Cochrane and non-Cochrane systematic reviews (SR) in orthodontics to compare (PRISMA score) with methodological (AMSTAR criteria).Systematic (n = 109) published between January 2000 July 2011 five leading orthodontic journals were identified included. The included was assessed by two authors accordance PRISMA guidelines. Each article assigned a cumulative grade based on fulfillment applicable criteria, an overall percentage score assigned. Descriptive...
