Article Synopsis
- Advances in orthodontics now allow adult patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion to benefit from non-surgical treatments using temporary anchorage devices (TADs), specifically maxillary molar distalization, instead of relying solely on surgery.
- This case report details the treatment of a 50-year-old female with Class II malocclusion who utilized an infra-zygomatic crest (IZC) bone screw for effective tooth movement without unwanted side effects.
- The use of bone screws enhances anchorage, minimizes reciprocal effects, and lessens the need for patient compliance, ultimately improving both dental alignment and facial aesthetics in adult orthodontic patients.
Objectives: White spot lesions are the most common iatrogenic effect observed during orthodontic treatment. This study aimed to compare the surface characteristics and antibacterial action of uncoated and coated orthodontic brackets.
Materials And Methods: Sixty commercially available stainless steel brackets were coated with TiO nanotubes and methacryloyloxyethylphosphorylcholine.
Background: This study compared the accuracy and speed of cephalometric analysis using an artificial intelligence web-based method and a smartphone app-based system with manual cephalometric analysis as the reference standard.
Material And Methods: In this cross-sectional study, the lateral cephalograms were analysed using four methods: manual tracing, smartphone app tracing, artificial intelligence web-based automated tracing without manual landmark identification correction and artificial intelligence web-based automated tracing with manual landmark identification correction. The principal investigator obtained linear and angular cephalometric measurements to compare the accuracies of the four methods being assessed.
Introduction: Primary cleft lip repair techniques do not address the nasal deformity adequately resulting in nasal asymmetry. Maneuvers employed to minimize this have varying degrees of success.
Aim: To assess the outcome of different treatment modalities employed to establish nasal symmetry in unilateral cleft lip.
The purpose behind the innovation of modified nasoalveolar moulding appliance was to achieve simultaneous anteroposterior and transverse correction in bilateral cleft cases with minimal vomeroid bending. This paper presents a 3D Versascrew appliance that has been used for presurgical nasoalveolar moulding in a 15-day-old neonate with bilateral cleft. Treatment was initiated at 30 days and continued for 90 days following which mild expansion of posterior maxilla with establishment of arch continuity and concomitant improvement in nasal morphology was achieved towards the end.
