Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to investigate and compare early biofilm formation on biomaterials, which are being used in contemporary fixed orthodontic treatment.
Methods: This study comprised 10 healthy volunteers (5 females and 5 males) with a mean age of 27.3 +-3.
Objective: Orthodontic elastomeric chains are a main component in orthodontic therapy with fixed vestibular or lingual appliances. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of artificial aging on the mechanical properties of orthodontic elastomeric chains (power chains, PCs) without an intermodular link using a test setup according to DIN EN ISO 21606:2007.
Material And Methods: In this study, 11 types of PCs supplied by seven manufacturers were investigated.
Objective: The present prospective study aimed at evaluating the influence of orthognathic surgery on mucogingival tissues and the subgingival microflora.
Patients And Methods: Fifteen consecutively-treated patients with a mean age of 24.9±7.
Objective: To test the null hypothesis that stainless steel and ceramic brackets show no differences in biofilm adhesion.
Materials And Methods: Twenty adolescents (6 boys, 14 girls) who had received fixed orthodontic therapy for 18.9 ± 3.
Aim: Orthodontic elastomeric chains are a main component in orthodontic therapy employing labial or lingual appliances. The aim of this study was to investigate the tensile properties of orthodontic elastomeric chains with a test setup according to ISO 21606:2007.
Material And Methods: Orthodontic elastomeric chains of eight manufacturers with and without an intermodular link were obtained from commercially-available stock, yielding 23 groups with ten specimens each.
