Five thousand consecutive panoramic radiographs taken patients who attended Department Oral Diagnosis Radiology, Selcuk University, for routine examination between 2005 2007 were examined identify incidences teeth. Demographic information all recorded. Transmigrations categorized according classification Mupparapu. effect age, gender,...

The aim of this study was to identify the potential projection errors lateral, postero-anterior (PA) and submentovertex (SMV) cephalometric radiographs due head rotation in vertical z-axis. For investigation, a complete human dry skull an adult used. rotated from 0 +/-14 degrees at 2 degree intervals. A axis, z-axis, used as rotational axis expose 15 lateral PA radiographs. tilted on each side, again intervals, SMV films. series linear angular measurements carried out all cephalograms....

One of the most important components orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning is evaluation patient's soft tissue profile. The aim this study was to develop angular photogrammetric standards for Class I Anatolian Turkish males females. A random sample 100 individuals (46 54 females; ages 19–25 years) obtained. photographic set-up consisted a tripod that held 35 mm camera primary flash. used in its manual position records were taken subjects natural head posture. records, slide format,...

The aim of the present study was to assess whether use platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) decreased pain, swelling, and trismus levels postoperative third molar surgery.In a double-blinded, split-mouth randomized study, thirty patients (6 male/24 female, mean age 20.32 years) with bilateral symmetric impacted molars were enrolled in this receive surgery. PRF mass randomly placed one extraction sockets, whereas other socket left without treatment. outcome variables maximum mouth opening (trismus),...

Abstract – Orthodontic forced eruption may be a suitable approach without risking the esthetic appearance in tooth fracture below gingival attachment or alveolar bone crest. Extrusion of such teeth allows elevating line above epithelial and so proper finishing margins can prepared. Restoration after orthodontic present more conservative treatment choice young patients compared with prosthetic restoration extraction. This case describes multidisciplinary using facilitating composite fractured...

To evaluate the cytotoxic effects of five different light-cured orthodontic bonding composites.The composites Heliosit Orthodontic (Ivoclar), Transbond XT (3M Unitek), Bisco ORTHO (Bisco), Light Bond (Reliance), and Quick Cure (Reliance) were prepared, samples extracted in 3 mL BME (Basal Medium Eagle) with 10% newborn calf serum for 24 hours. The L929 cells plated (25,000 cells/mL) a 96-well dish maintained humidified incubator hours at 37 degrees C, 5% CO(2), 95% air. After incubation...

To determine the efficacy of topical applications 10% casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) paste in reverting white spot lesions (WSLs) after fixed orthodontic treatment. Forty one participants were randomly assigned to either test group or control (only fluoride toothpaste). All patients used regular fluoride-containing toothpaste. CPPACP fluoridated toothpaste was applied on tooth surfaces with WSLs twice a day during 36-month de-bonding. The labial/buccal teeth...

To determine the color alterations of natural teeth associated with different orthodontic composites used in comprehensive short-term treatment.Twenty-two patients were treated fixed appliances and 22 untreated subjects also evaluated. Lower incisors bonded composites: 42 Grengloo, 41 Light Bond, 31 Kurasper F, 32 Transbond XT. The parameters Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage (CIE) measured for each tooth a spectrophotometer. Color assessment relation to time, adhesive material, their...

This article evaluates the usage of distraction osteogenesis (DO) in treatment cleft alveoli. The procedure was carried out on eight alveolar clefts five patients between ages 17 and 25 years. Three had bilateral (BAC) two unilateral (UAC). DO to palatal segments for BAC lesser segment UAC patients. A custom-made tooth-borne distractor used. average amount mm (range, 5-11.5 mm). distal movement anchorage teeth 0.8 0-2 inclination changes transport 7.6 degrees 2-17.5 degrees) 3.3 0-9...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the long-term skeletal effects mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis (MSDO) with a tooth- and bone-borne device, analysed using metallic implant method. sample comprised 20 patients between 15.8 25 years age, mean age 20.01 +/- 2.25 at start treatment. In 12 subjects, titanium implants were inserted in mandible analyse changes short long term. A custom-made intraoral, distractor designed used. After latency period 7 days, activated twice...

The aim of this study was to evaluate microleakage under orthodontic ceramic brackets bonded with direct and different indirect bonding techniques adhesives using micro-computed tomography. A total 30 human maxillary premolars were randomly separated into five groups six teeth in each group. In group I, directly Transbond XT (3M Unitek). II, III, IV, V, through an technique Custom I.Q. (Reliance Orthodontic Products), Sondhi Rapid-Set Unitek), RMbond (RMO), IDB respectively, following the...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence a xylitol lozenge on dental plaque pH profile fixed orthodontic patients. Twelve volunteers participated in study. Before measurement pH, subjects were asked refrain from brushing their teeth for 48 hours and eating drinking two hours. subjects' baseline recorded using touch technique. It followed by one-minute rinse with 15 ml 10% solution sucrose, subsequent measurements carried out during next one hour. Xylitol lozenges taken five...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the application two antibacterial mouth rinses etched and unetched enamel affects shear bond strength (SBS) an orthodontic composite resin. Eighty-five lower human incisors were divided into five groups, ie, group 1: control group, no rinse used; groups 2 3: applied intact surface before etching; 4 5: enamel. A bonding agent a resin teeth surface. For testing, specimens mounted in universal testing machine, apparatus attached compression...
