Among CBCT scans, 30 were with class I pattern, II III pattern. extract module Romexis software 6.2.1 used segmentation...

BACKGROUND: The demand for orthodontic treatment among adults has witnessed a substantial rise in recent years. This study aims to explore the complexities of adult orthodontics, focusing on challenges faced, outcomes, and influence factors such as age, gender, education patient compliance satisfaction. METHODS: A multi-dimensional approach was employed, combining review clinical records with structured surveys. Descriptive statistics summarized demographic characteristics, duration,...

Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a condition characterized by complete/partial obstruction of the upper airway that disrupts normal pattern. It has become highly prevalent and negatively affects quality life. Reports show ≥4% men ≥2% women, mostly, obese individuals are affected OSA. OSA independently associated with an increased likelihood hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diminished Hence, it becomes prime concern for health-care personnel to diagnose at earliest. A...

Class III malocclusion is one of the most difficult problems to treat in mixed dentition. It has a multifactorial etiology involving both genetic and environmental causes. The dental skeletal effects maxillary protraction with facemask are well documented several studies. Although treatment late or early permanent dentition can be successful, results generally better deciduous following case shows young patient severe sagittal transverse discrepancy maxilla mandible, using facemask.

A BSTRACT Background: The search for an ideal anchorage during orthodontic treatment resulted in the invention of Orthodontic Mini Implants (OMIs) that do not require patient’s cooperation. In spite their common use orthodontics, there is a lack studies regarding patients’ perceptions OMIs after immediate and delayed loading. Aim: aim this study was to compare pain discomfort experienced by patients following placement mini-implants loading with loading, evaluate success rate formulate...

Patients with class II malocclusion generally seek orthodontic treatment for esthetic concern. Various myo-functionl appliances can be used the of skeletal as well dental in a growing patient. Among various functional appliances, twin block appliance is most commonly due to better patient compliances. It redirects mandibular growth correct maxillomandibular relationship, enhancing facial esthet ics. This article presents modified design which less bulky, more esthetic, concurrently fixed...

Introduction: Bond strength is an important property and determines the amount of force delivered treatment duration in orthodontics. Many light-cured bonding materials are being used; but it required to determine most efficient one withdesired bond strength.
 Objective: To compare shear three visible composites (Transbond XT, Heliositand Enlight) two self-cured (Rely-a-bond Concise).
 Materials & Method: 100 extracted premolars were collected randomly divided into 5 test...

This study evaluates the fracture strength of pulpotomized primary molars restored with amalgam, miracle mix, cermet, resin-modified glass ionomer cement, and nanocomposites.Fifty first second were collected for this study. All teeth randomly divided into five groups (n = 10). Standard pulpotomy cavities prepared. Teeth air dried canal orifices capped a layer zinc oxide eugenol. A lining calcium hydroxide was placed over it. Amalgam, nanocomposite in I, II, III, IV, V, respectively. samples...

As the teeth are in an inherently unstable position after completion of orthodontic treatment, a little pressure even from soft tissues may create relapse tendency. So there is always need for retention period until gingival and periodontal reorganization completed around new tooth. Removable appliances can be used effectively purpose which Begg's wrap retainers most commonly used. This article presents modification design appliance will help us to use retainer more efficiently.

Roentgen in 1895 discovered X-rays. Then, Radiographic Cephalometry came into existence which combined principles of both Craniometry and anthropometry. But this did not happen a day various other things were tried tested before all over the world. Thus, history radiography is described article, periodically. This also includes contributions many scientists towards evolution cephalometric principles, situations where cephalometrics can be applied hint change that yet to implemented practice.

Objective: To establish soft tissue facial profile norms for Coastal Andhra population by means of angular measurements and toevaluate the difference between male & female groups.Materials Method: 90 individuals (45 males, 45 females) age group 18-25 years native coastal Pradesh, withacceptable pleasing profile, normal Class I occlusion having ideal anterior bite were selected study. Standard profilephotographs taken photogrammetric analysis was carried out through AutoCAD...

The mechanical characteristics of orthodontic wires are crucial since they have a significant impact on the effectiveness therapy, and patients undergoing treatment becoming more picky about their aesthetic preferences. goal current investigation was to assess hardness various wires. Three types were employed in this study: nickel titanium (NiTi, USA), beta-titanium (TMA, stainless steel (SS, Germany). For upper left canine investigation, we utilized an edgewise bracket with slot size...

This retrospective study aimed to investigate the association between orthodontic treatment and development of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in pediatric patients.

A BSTRACT Introduction: Dental caries is a multifactorial disease caused by combined effect of host, environment, and microorganism. Mutans Streptococci (MS) the main microorganism in causing progression dental caries. Advances science technology led to attempt managing targeting its initiation delaying progress. Immunoglobulin Y has proven efficacy reducing colonisation S. affecting adhesion. Aim: Thus present study was undertaken evaluate passive immunisation on S.Mutans levels active...

A BSTRACT Introduction: Detection and quantification of dental plaque is crucial in both clinical dentistry research. Established indices used to measure have limitations. The aim the study was evaluate reliability validity using a fluorescent camera (QScan Plus). Materials Methods: Double doubleblind carried out on 20 children age ranging from 9 14 yrs. Plaque measurement performed by two examiners total 160 incisors at base, 24, 36, 48, 96 hrs. Images were captured camera, digitally...
