Background: Blood-derived materials have been used recently to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, but there are conflicting reports on their effectiveness.
Objective: To evaluate the potential effect of local injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement.
Trial Design: A single-center, three-arm, parallel-group randomized controlled trial.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the levels of pain, discomfort, and functional impairment associated with the en-masse retraction of the upper anterior teeth when treating Class II division 1 malocclusion patients using traditional corticotomy or flapless corticotomy. In addition, an assessment of patients' satisfaction with the selected surgical intervention was undertaken at one-month post-operatively.
Materials And Methods: The study sample comprised 40 patients with Class II division 1 malocclusion, randomly assigned to either the traditional corticotomy group (n=20) or the flapless corticotomy group (n=20).
Introduction: The traditional methods of deboning metal brackets exert excessive force, resulting in enamel scratches, fractures, and patient discomfort. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of using two intensity levels of a diode laser for debonding metallic orthodontic brackets as an alternative to the conventional debonding method.
Materials And Methods: Sixty intact, extracted human premolar teeth were used in this study, and metal orthodontic brackets were bonded to the buccal surface of these teeth.
