: Current Orthodontic diagnosis and treatment plan is based on the arrangement of the soft tissue complex. This makes the execution of treatment plan very challenging as beauty is a subjective factor leading to different facial evaluations. This study aims at comparing and evaluating the perception of facial attractiveness of different antero-poste...

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the stress along the root surfaces of anterior maxillary dentition during retraction in labial and lingual mechanics with varying level of bone support. Materials and methods Eight 3D finite element models (FEM) having 340,215 nodes and 211,543 elements were created with normal periodonti...

Abstract Background Recently, Vacuum formed retainers (VFRs) are preferred as an Orthodontic retention appliance over conventional Begg’s retainers. Very few studies have been conducted between VFRs and Begg’s retainers. Hence, this study aims at assessing the effectiveness, oral hygiene and acceptability between VFRs and Begg’s retainers with a fo...

The Digital revolution has led to a paradigm shift in industries including health care. Difficulty to clean between the teeth, lack of motivation and dietary factors are significantly associated with dental caries in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. This study assessed the effectiveness of mobile phone applications in improving oral hygie...

Non-metric Dental Crown Traits are a principal source of information in forensic dentistry. However, inadequate data on the prevalence of these traits prompted this study to determine the frequency, sexual dimorphism and degree of inter-trait association in two different populations of India. Dichotomized data on the existence of non-metric feature...

Childhood obesity is a significant concern in many countries and is a condition of systemic inflammation to an impaired immunity. It is usually characterized by a low-grade inflammation depending mostly on the release of cytokines, adipokines and reactive oxygen. There is a vast difference of craniofacial morphology in obese and normal adolescents....

The article emphasizes on the need for amalgamation of orthodontic and periodontic treatment. The need arises when we need to respect the integrity of the periodontal apparatus enhancing the importance of oral health. The beauty of orthodontics in the long run is envisaged by the surrounding sound environment of gingiva. Orthodontic treatment is ca...

Achieving biocompatibility in a material requires an interdisciplinary approach that involves a sound knowledge of materials science, bioengineering, and biotechnology. The host microbial-material response is also critical. Endodontic treatment is a delicate procedure that must be planned and executed properly. Despite major advances in endodontic...

Class III malocclusion is one of the most difficult problems to treat in the mixed dentition. It has a multifactorial etiology involving both genetic and environmental causes. The dental and skeletal effects of maxillary protraction with a facemask are well documented in several studies. Although treatment in the late mixed or early permanent denti...

Anterior teeth relapse after comprehensive orthodontic treatment due to partial breakage of a lingual retainer, which may go unnoticed by the patient until spaces reappear and the tooth gets protruded or extruded or even rotated. Most patients are unwilling to have brackets rebonded in such situations. A simple and effective technique for dealing s...

Background: Alveolar osteitis (AO) is an important postoperative problem with an incidence of 20% to 35% especially prevalent after the removal of mandibular molars. Fibrinolysis with subsequent loss of blood clotting is believed to be the general cause of AO. Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of tranexamic acid, an antifibrinoly...

Glass ionomer/composite bite blocks are used routinely for unraveling the interferences caused by occlusion/as splints. They are used during the initial phases of treatment and their removal requires the use of a diamond bur in a high-speed handpiece. Here, a technique is developed which involves easier removal of these blocks.

A ligature wire tie was proposed as being the source of pain, discomfort that progressed to huge swelling in a healthy adolescent patient during the course of orthodontic treatment. On clinical examination, the patient had actual swelling associated with extraoral swelling. Radiographic examination of an IOPA revealed a cut piece of ligature tie li...

Aims: To assess the effect of herbal antimicrobial agents on Streptococcus mutans count in biofilm formations during orthodontic treatment. Materials and methods: We calculated the growth inhibition of oral bacteria in the orthodontic appliances after herbal antibacterial agents were placed in culture media. The Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations...

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate bond strength, bracket tooth interface of Orthodontic brackets that are bonded for fixed Orthodontic treatment procedure on pretreatment with CPPACP, Fluor Protector and Phosflur.
