Evaluation and comparison of the efficacy of autologous fibrin glue with 4-0 silk sutures in periodontal flap closure and wound healing - A split mouth randomized controlled trial.

Background: Fibrin glue has shown to be a pioneering remedy to overcome the inconvenience of suturing. Autologous products reduce the risk of contamination and immunological responses compared to commercial fibrin glue. Hence using autologous fibrin glue (AFG) as a tissue sealant in periodontal flap closure would be of added value for a predictable outcome.

Comparative study of effect of different lever arm positions and lengths on transverse and vertical bowing in lingual orthodontics - An FEM study.

Objective: To assess the influence of changing the size and position of lever arm on transverse and vertical bowing effects during retraction in lingual biomechanics.

Methods: A three dimensional 3D finite element method was used to simulate en masse anterior teeth retraction using lingual appliance with sliding mechanics. Two groups were made, 1st group had lever arm mesial to canine while 2nd group had distal to canine.

Correction of an adult Class II division 2 individual using fixed functional appliance: A noncompliance approach.

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 arch wire.

Quick and easy placement of coil spring.

A tooth displaced palatally in an arch often demands placement of an open coil spring for gaining space. Ligation of an archwire with compressed coil spring is a cumbersome process. We have made use of 0.

Crouzon syndrome--A case report.

Crouzon syndrome is a genetic disorder also known as branchial arch syndrome. Specifically, this syndrome affects the first branchial (or pharyngeal) arch, the precursor of the maxilla and mandible. Since the branchial arches are important developmental features in a growing embryo, disturbances in their development create lasting and widespread effects.
