Orthodontic tooth movement involves application of orthodontic force using various appliances to bring about tooth movement for correction of malocclusion. The applied force causes a microtrauma in the underlying periodontal tissue in which there is a cellular response elicited. The cascade of cellular activity which includes mainly osteoclasts, os...

Introduction: Distraction osteogenesis (DO) has evolved in maxillofacial surgery and gained popularity due to the limitations of orthognathic surgery in gross asymmetry cases. Purpose: The primary aim of the paper was to determine if the use of DO for the management of severe deformities of the mandible secondary to temporomandibular joint ankyl...

Osteochondroma is one of the rare benign growing lesions arising from the surface of the bone 1]. These lesions are commonly seen in long bones and are rare in the craniofacial region[1]. The incidence in facial region is about 0.6% with mean patient peak age in fourth decade and male: female ratio of 1:1.2[2]. Osteochondromas arising from condyle...

Objectives: Biomarkers are by definition objective, quantifiable characteristics of biological processes. The analysis of Saliva/ Salivary fluid may be an accepted way to examine the ongoing biochemical processes associated with bone turnover during orthodontic tooth movement and fixed orthodontic treatment pain. Pain and discomfort are fundamental...

Introduction: The initial carious lesions are the so-called "white spot" lesions (WSLs), which implies that there is a subsurface area with most of the mineral loss beneath a relatively intact enamel surface. It is common in patients who are taking orthodontic treatment. Salivary reservoir of calcium and phosphorous counteracts the demineralizatio...

Objectives: Various fluoride varnishes have shown promising result in preventing enamel demineralization around orthodontic brackets as they do not depend on patient compliance. The objective of the study was to compare the effect of light-curable fluoride varnish (Clinpro XT) and conventional topical fluoride varnish (Fluoritop SR) in preventing e...

Objectives: To investigate pain intensity, interleukin-1β and prostaglandin E2 values in saliva during initial orthodontic treatment among varying age groups and their correlation between these mediators. Materials and methods: Twenty healthy patients distributed equally in age and gender groups were chosen. Unstimulated saliva was collected bef...

Class II skeletal base with vertical maxillary excess (VME) and skeletal mandibular deficiency presents a combination of several problems pertaining to function, psychology and esthetics. The optimal treatment plan generally includes a harmonised orthodontic-surgical approach through superior repositioning (Vertical maxillary impaction) by means of...

Aim Fixed functional appliance (FFA) used in the treatment of Class II malocclusion, lead to mandibular anterior teeth proclination, thus limiting the skeletal effects of the appliance. To counter this side effect, FFA is anchored in the lower anterior region of the mandible using the skeletal anchorage system. This pilot study was done to evaluate...

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of tea tree oil (TTO) mouthwash and chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwash on frictional resistance. Settings and Design: In vitro. Materials and Methods: In total, 60 extracted premolars were mounted on a custom-made acrylic fixture. These 60 premolars were randomly divided into 3 groups of 20 each,...

This study aimed to assess the reliability of the android smartphone-based app OneCeph by comparing it with computer cephalometric tracing program Dolphin Imaging software. 50 cephalometric radiographs were randomly selected. On each cephalogram 20 landmarks were marked. 15 parameters indicating skeletal, dental and soft tissue parameters were sele...

The loss of lower molars often leads to over-eruption of the opposing maxillary molars, combined with insufficient clearance for lower prosthetic restorations. The available treatment options are either a significant reduction of the maxillary teeth, often associated with endodontic treatment, or removable appliances such as headgear which depend o...

Introduction: The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of low-level laser therapy on interleukin-1β (IL-1β) levels in gingival crevicular fluid and its correlation with orthodontic tooth movement. Methods: A split-mouth design was used in 10 subjects (6 female, 4 male) aged 14 to 25 years, whose maxillary first premolars were ex...

To overcome the challenge of maintaining the perfect adaptation of the retainer wire to the lingual surfaces of an anterior tooth while bonding, we have designed a facile method which will aid in accurate and precise placement of lingual retainer wire to ensure longterm stability ofan orthodontic treatment result.

Background Superficial clinical examination of occlusion and just assessing the morphologic relationship of teeth at the finishing stages of orthodontic treatment may be insufficient. A case with a clinically satisfying occlusion may be functionally unbalanced. Evaluating occlusion both statically and functionally for uniform distribution of occlus...

This case report describes the application of fixed functional appliance in the treatment of an adult female having Class II division 2 malocclusion with retroclination of upper incisors. Fixed functional appliance was used to correct the overjet after the uprighting of upper incisors. Fixed functional appliance was fitted on a rigid rectangular ar...

Aim The prospective clinical study was undertaken to evaluate the amount of maxillary molar intrusion achieved during orthodontic treatment using mini-implants along with transpalatal arch bar. Materials and Methods The treated group consisted of 10 subjects having over-erupted maxillary molars with mean age of 20.75 years. Mini-implants of 8 mm l...

Class II malocclusions are one of the most common problems in orthodontic treatment. There are a variety of effective and simple treatments to correct them, such as headgear and functional appliances. Functional appliances are commonly used for the treatment of class II malocclusions with mandibular deficiency. The success of treatment with a funct...

Context The cranial base and variations in its morphology affect the anterior-posterior positioning of jaws causing changes in the glenoid fossa and condylar position. Aims To evaluate the condylar position in patients with different skeletal sagittal malocclusion patterns. Materials and Methods Pretreatment lateral cephalometric radiographs of 1...

Implants have become an inherent part of everyday orthodontic practice, but unlike prosthodontic implants, their placement and insertion into narrow interradicular spaces for orthodontic purposes remain a tricky and challenging part to most clinicians. An innovative and clinically useful method has been described here for safe and easy insertion of...

Introduction: Orthodontic treatment has been widely accepted among adults in the present years. It has been postulated that the tooth movement is faster in children when compared to the adults. This could be assessed more accurately by assessment of gene markers responsible for bone turnover in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF). The purpose of th...

The aim of this article is to derive an angle using panoramic radiographs which is as reliable as lateral cephalometric norms in determining the skeletal growth pattern. The sample size consisted of 60 OPGs of patients with normodivergent growth pattern evaluated from cephalometric radiographs. The mean Symphyseal Angle (SA) obtained was 134.1 ± 2....

Since many years, various bonding attachments have been used as a mode of traction for surgically exposed impacted teeth. It has always been a challenge to select an attachment considering predictability of the bonded attachment, mucogingival and periodontal conditions of the overlying tissues, and additional inventory requirement. A 0.010-in. stai...

Pain is among the most cited negative effects of orthodontic treatment. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs seem to be an effective option for minimizing this but can have adverse effects on tooth movement owing to their ability to block prostaglandin synthesis. Acetaminophen has been suggested as the analgesic of choice during orthodontic treatm...

This article provides an insight on detailed current advances in molecular understandings of periodontal ligament cells and the influence of orthodontic force on them in the light of recent advances in molecular and genetic sciences. It sequentially unfolds the cellular events beginning from the mechanical force initiated events of cellular respons...
