Article Synopsis
- Different types of orthodontic retainers (like vacuum-formed retainers (VFRs), removable Hawley retainers (HRs), and fixed bonded retainers (FBRs)) have been studied for their effectiveness in maintaining tooth alignment and arch dimensions after treatment, but results have been inconsistent.* -
- A comprehensive literature review included 22 studies involving 1797 patients, assessing the comparative efficacy of VFRs, HRs, and FBRs on arch widths, arch length, and anterior alignment.* -
- The findings revealed that while VFRs were more effective than HRs in reducing irregularity in the maxilla, there were no significant differences in arch dimensions between VFRs and HRs
We present the case of a 29-year-old, G2P1+0 pregnant woman who was unbooked and presented to the emergency room at 36+5 weeks gestation with complaints of leaking liquor, labour pains, vaginal bleeding and raised blood pressure. Her history revealed previous vaginal delivery and index pregnancy complicated with obstetric cholestasis, pre-eclampsia, and fetal growth restriction. During her hospital course, the patient underwent an emergency cesarean section due to uncontrolled blood pressure and pathological cardiotocograph (CTG) revealing a deeply impacted fetal head intraoperatively and necessitating an inverted T incision on the uterus.
