Evaluation of Three-Dimensional Digital Models Formulated From Direct Intra-oral Scanning of Dental Arches in Comparison With Extra-oral Scanning of Poured Dental Models in Terms of Dimensional Accuracy and Reliability.

Background: The study's objective was to assess the dimensional accuracy and reliability of dental digital models prepared by direct intraoral scanning and indirect scanning of the plaster models compared to the plaster models as the gold standard.

Materials And Methods: This study included 20 patients. Nine had a class I malocclusion, seven had a class II malocclusion, and four had a class III malocclusion.

Treatment of Moderately Crowded Teeth Using Lingual Fixed Appliance Prepared by a Modified HIRO® Technique: A Case Report and Method Description.

There are various manual laboratory methods available for indirect positioning and bonding of lingual brackets. The manual setup has limitations because of its complicated laboratory procedures and requires time and specialized laboratory equipment. In addition, the manual method is also prone to human errors.

Evaluation of the Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) in Patients Undergoing Lingual Versus Labial Fixed Orthodontic Appliances: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial.

Background Wearing fixed orthodontic appliances may negatively impact oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) during treatment. This study aimed to compare the OHRQoL of patients treated with labial or lingual appliances. Methodology A total of 38 patients (23 females, 15 males; mean age: 21.

Effects of Treatment with Nociceptive Trigeminal Inhibition Splints on Electromyography in Temporomandibular Joint Disorder Patients.

Aim: This research aimed at evaluating the effects of the nociceptive trigeminal inhibition splint (NTIS) on electromyography (EMG) for masseter and temporalis muscles in patients with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs), and at detecting the discomfort degree originating from this splint.

Materials And Methods: The sample consisted of 15 patients having TMDs of muscular origin to be treated by NTIS. The activity degree of masseter and temporalis muscles was measured using the EMG two times: before the treatment and after 6 months.
