Introduction: This 2-arm parallel trial aimed to assess the number of failures of mandibular fixed retainers bonded with direct and indirect bonding methods at a 5-year follow-up and investigate the stability of intercanine and interpremolar distances.
Methods: Consecutive patients from the clinic of the University of Geneva (Switzerland) were randomly allocated to either direct or indirect bonding of a mandibular fixed retainer at the end of orthodontic treatment. Inclusion criteria included the presence of all mandibular incisors and canines; and the absence of active caries, restorations, fractures, or periodontal disease of these teeth.
Aim: The aim of this study was to describe the longitudinal changes in facial morphology, dental arch alterations and oral functional capacities that occur in growing patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in order to identify the effects of the progression of the disease.
Subjects And Methods: Twelve DMD patients (6.5-17.
Introduction: The objectives of this 2-arm parallel trial were to compare the numbers of failures of mandibular fixed retainers bonded with indirect and direct methods and to investigate the posttreatment changes 2 years after placement.
Methods: Sixty-four consecutive patients from the postgraduate orthodontic clinic of the University of Geneva in Switzerland were randomly allocated to either an indirect or a traditional direct bonding procedure of a mandibular fixed retainer at the end of their orthodontic treatment (T0). Eligibility criteria were the presence of the 4 mandibular incisors and the 2 mandibular canines, and no active caries, restorations, fractures, or periodontal disease of these teeth.
