Article Synopsis
  • - The study compared the effectiveness of Er,Cr:YSGG lasers and adhesive-removing pliers in removing residual adhesive from the enamel of premolars, involving 54 teeth split into two groups of 27.
  • - Results showed no significant difference in shear bond strength across both removal methods or debonding sequences, but there were notable differences in enamel surface roughness after each removal procedure.
  • - Microscopic examination indicated effective removal of adhesive and primer using lasers, while some adhesive remnants were still present after using pliers, suggesting lasers are more effective for bracket rebonding on enamel surfaces.

This study was conducted to assess the usefulness of thermography for quantifying facial temperature before and after orthognathic surgery and intermaxillary fixation, and the effects of these orthognathic procedures on facial temperature. Facial thermograms of 10 patients who underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO, one-jaw group) and another 10 patients who underwent Le Fort I osteotomy and bilateral SSRO (two-jaw group) were taken 1 day before orthognathic surgery (T1) and at release of intermaxillary fixation 7 days later (T2). Two thermograms taken 30 s (TG1) and 3 min (TG2) after the start of recording at T1 and T2 were used.
