Well‐controlled trials that utilize three‐dimensional segmentation to detect volumetric changes in tooth structure are required to assess the quantitative nature of root resorption.ObjectiveTo assess the severity of root resorption (RR) during retraction of maxillary anteriors with three different force vectors (with and without skeletal anchorage) via cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) superimpositions.Trial DesignThree‐arm parallel randomized clinical trial (RCT).Materials and MethodsForty‐two (16 males, 26 females) patients, (17–28 years), in permanent dentition with bimaxillary protrusion were randomly allocated to three groups of 14 patients each using block randomization (1:1:1 ratio) and allocation concealment. En‐masse anterior retraction post first premolar extractions was carried out with modified force vectors in the three groups base...

One of the earliest signs of dental caries is a white spot lesion, which is mostly missed, and only treated when the condition worsens. WSL are areas of demineralized enamel that occur due to a prolonged period of retained microbial biofilms most commonly associated in patients with poor oral hygiene and fixed orthodontic appliances. If caught early and intervened, WSLs can be reversed. Therefore, the diagnosis and treatment of WSL are of outmost importance, and this chapter will explain in detail various methods of diagnosing WSLs, its treatment protocol with the significance of remineralization of the same.

The treatment modalities include both removable and fixed appliances. The advantage of fixed functional appliances is that it is not dependent on patient compliance. Various fixed functional appliances are available such as rigid, flexible, and hybrid. The present case series discusses a hybrid type of fixed functional appliance, i.e. Twin Force Bite Corrector appliance in three cases: A 15‑year‑old female patient with Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrognathism, a 14‑year‑old male patient with Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrognathism, and a 14‑year‑old female patient with Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retrognathism. The effects produced by this appliance are similar to the conventional fixed functional appliances such as Forsus, Herbst, and also it has a distinct advantage of quick chair-side fabrication and simple d...

In order to reduce the bacterial proliferation, the surface coating of brackets using nano particles came into existence. Aim: The aim of this systematic review is to assess the different surface modifications using nano coating materials and evaluate the antibacterial properties of these nano coated orthodontic brackets. Materials and Methods: A systematic review was conducted in September 2021, analysing the microbial adhesion and antibacterial properties of orthodontic brackets after application of nano-coating against uncoated brackets was conducted from the available electronic database during January 2000 to June 2021, which included PubMed, Embase, Google Scholar. Because of the less number of in-vivo studies, in-vitro studies were also included. An analysis on the microbial adhesion and antibacteri...

Research paper thumbnail of Orthodontic-Periodontics: An Interdisciplinary Approach

Dentistry, 2021

Periodontal pathogenesis is a multi-factorial process and the orthodontist must recognize the cli... more Periodontal pathogenesis is a multi-factorial process and the orthodontist must recognize the clinical forms of inflammatory periodontal disease. Orthodontics is the most conservative and predictable treatment to improve numerous local etiological factors that contribute to periodontal disease including periodontal breakdown. Proper occlusal function and masticatory function are stimulatory to the gingival tissue and the attachment apparatus, while, conversely, a lack of function predisposes to disease that increases plaque retention and calculus formation along with gingival inflammation leading to increased loss of bony support. No matter how talented the orthodontist, a magnificent orthodontic correction can be destroyed by failure to recognize periodontal susceptibility. Therefore, identifying periodontally susceptible patients is critical for the outcome of the treatment. This chapter will highlight the importance of the short-term and long-term outcomes of orthodontic treatmen...

Recent epidemiologic studies show that destructive periodontitis is found in about 30% of the American population. Only careful clinical examination of the patient can detect periodontal disease at an early stage. Radiographs are necessary for showing hidden anatomical structures such as the alveolar bone. They expose the degree of interdental and interradicular bone loss, root length, crown-root ratio, periodontal ligament space, and any apical pathology in the tooth.

This was mainly due to the introduction of self-ligating bracket and temperature activated wires. Even though there are certain exceptions, the self-ligating bracket have evolved in orthodontics because of its advantages such as low friction, shorter treatment duration and increased efficacy. Damon’s self-ligating system has been in existence since 1930 but it has been well developed in the past 30 years with the introduction of newer systems. Damon’s self-ligating brackets have been designed to overcome the drawbacks of conventional bracket system and are often considered as the pinnacle of bracket technology. The main advantage of Damon’s system was low friction and shorter treatment duration. But the efficiency of the appliance is influenced by several factors such as Biomechanics, frequency of dental visits and patient comfort. The chapter will highlight the efficiency of th...

Here patient wears a series of customized clear, removable aligners that gradually move the teeth to the desired position. The clear aligner system is a modern adaptation of the systems described since the middle of the 20th century, therefore there were different devices and philosophies that have led to its creation and the system has evolved a lot over the decades. Clear aligner therapy has been a part of the orthodontic practice for years, but, popularity was increased since the introduction of Invisalign appliances (Align Technology) in 1998. There are almost 27 different clear aligner products currently on offer for orthodontic treatment. Nowadays, more people prefer clear aligner treatment because it is aesthetically superior to brackets and lingual orthodontics. The superiority of clear aligners lies in their aesthetics. The optical properties of the clear alig...

The objective of this systematic review was to analyse the factors affecting nickel release, the amount of nickel being released in commercially available NiTi wires and to also analyse the blood / periodontal evaluation after orthodontic treatment in conventional and nickel free brackets. METHODS For this systematic review, relevant articles were searched in PubMed, MedLine, Cochrane, EMBASE and Google Scholar databases, along with a complimentary manual search of all orthodontic journals from January 1980 till the year 2019 December. The study included in vitro and in vivo studies. 14 articles were included in this systematic review. RESULTS 160 articles were obtained initially. 41 were obtained by a manual search. 186 articles were excluded based on the inclusion criteria and 14 articles were found to be eligible. CONCLUSION This systematic review shows that nickel solution at a minimal conc...
