Article Synopsis
- Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has high morbidity and mortality rates, and timely diagnosis is essential for better patient outcomes; however, diagnostic delays are a significant concern.
- A study with 226 OSCC patients examined demographic and socioeconomic factors contributing to these delays, finding that the average delay was 55.2 days, with a significant number of patients affected by delays over 40 days.
- Key factors linked to longer delays included older age, single marital status, lower education, and lower income, highlighting the need for targeted interventions to improve early detection and patient outcomes.
Background: The demand for orthodontic treatment among adults has witnessed a substantial rise in recent years. This study aims to explore the complexities of adult orthodontics, focusing on challenges faced, treatment outcomes, and the influence of factors such as age, gender, and education on patient compliance and satisfaction.
Methods: A multi-dimensional approach was employed, combining a review of clinical records with structured patient surveys.
Comparative evaluation and influence of new Optibond eXTRa self-etch Universal adhesive and conventional Transbond XT on shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets-An in vitro study.
J Orthod Sci
August 2022
Introduction: The demand by dental practitioners for adhesives led to the innovation of newer self-etched universal adhesive systems. The objectives were to evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS) of metal brackets bonded with Optibond eXTRa Universal self-etch adhesive and Transbond XT primer and also to assess the adhesive remnant index (ARI).
Materials And Methods: A total of 100 extracted human premolar tooth samples were divided into 2 groups (n = 50) according to the adhesive system employed: Transbond XT (3M Unitek) and Optibond eXTRa Universal (KaVo Kerr).
Biomechanical considerations in mandibular incisor extraction cases.
Int J Orthod Milwaukee
May 2015
Mandibular incisor extraction can be regarded as a valuable treatment option in certain malocclusions to obtain excellence in orthodontic results in terms of function, aesthetics and stability. This treatment alternative is indicated in clinical situations like mild to moderate class III malocclusion, mild anterior mandibular tooth size excess, periodontally compromised teeth, ectopic eruption of mandibular incisor and minimal openbite tendencies. Unlike in premolar extraction cases, space closure in mandibular incisor extraction cases is unique in which the extraction space will be in the middle of the arch.

The conventional methods described in the literature include banding of second molars, transpalatal arches and headgears that involve additional teeth or wire components. With the introduction of temporary anchorage devices, anchorage can be ideally planned to treat a case successfully.
