Orthognathic surgery and Orthodontic camouflage with premolar extraction were not considered in the present case. The Mandibular Protraction Appliance (MPA type 2) was considered due to ease of fabrication, placing it simultaneously along with fixed mechanotherapy.

Recent developments in implantology now allows stationary anchorage without the use of extraoral appliances or complex biomechanical procedures. Miniimplants– enhanced anchorage has become a popular concept in orthodontics. Use of skeletal anchorage devices such as osseous dental implants, miniplates, miniscrews or microscrews offers clinicians’ reliable anchorage without patient compliance. Among these anchorage devices, miniscrew implants have increasingly been used for orthodontic anchorage because of their absolute anchorage, easy placement and removal, and cost effectiveness. Therefore, the skeletal anchorage system offers a nonsurgical orthodontic treatment option for skeletal (surgical) malocclusions, as well as a nonextraction treatment for malocclusions characterized by severe maxillary or mandibular protrusion, and/or anterior crowding. The purpose of the present article is to compare the mini- impl...

Orthodontic treatment observes resistance in areas of desired tooth movement and anchorage sites.... more Orthodontic treatment observes resistance in areas of desired tooth movement and anchorage sites. Hence, proper orthodontic anchorage preparation is important to ensure predictable tooth movement and negating insufficient reciprocal movement [1]. Understanding each patient’s anchorage requirements is of paramount importance which ensures high-quality care. Unexpected or unintended anchorage loss frequently results in a compromised finish [2]. Traditionally, high-anchorage situations require excellent patient compliance with extra oral traction devices. In recent years, orthodontic mini-implants were developed to ensure complete orthodontic anchorage. Among various intraosseous anchorage systems mini-screw implants have the advantage of simpler insertion and immediate loading. Mini-implants are frequently used in cases that require absolute anchorage, intrusion and/or distalization of molars [1].

Treatment modality aims to stimulate sagittal mandibular growth. Various appliances are available including removable and fixed functional. Fixed functional appliances (FFAs) are used as they have better patient compliance with similar effects. The present case series discuss the use of four different FFAs in late mixed dentition period during circumpubertal growth. The effects seen are similar to other appliances even though a lot of variations are seen with respect to the total treatment time.

This technique is also helpful in limiting the flow of the acid etchant used for etching and also limiting the flow of the adhesive on to the lingual surfaces of the teeth.

Hence, this study was undertaken to assess the microbial contamination of the orthodontic materials "as received" from the manufacturers and materials exposed to the clinical environment before using it in the patient. Materials & Method: Orthodontic materials obtained from 3 different manufacturers (3M, GAC, TP Orthodontics) were divided into 2 categories ("as received" from the manufacturers and "bench top" materials exposed to the clinical environment). Microbiological investigation was carried out using aerobic and anaerobic culture media. Identification of Bacterial species was done and colony forming units (CFU/ml) were measured. Result: The most commonly used orthodontic materials were found to be contaminated. The species identified were Klebsiella, Streptococci and Citrobacter from elastomeric chains, molar bands, buccal tubes and lingual sheaths. Conclusion: new packed materials are not always free from bacterial contamination and it is pivotal for manufacturers to state and the practitioners to ensure the sterility of materials before use.
