Background: To evaluate the closure of midline diastema using the Neodymium-Iron-Boron magnets and to compare the treatment duration of midline diastemas with the use of magnets compared to regular orthodontic treatment.
Material And Methods: Thirty patients with age group 12 to 30 years with the midline diastema ranging from 0.5 to 3mm were selected.
Article Synopsis
- Orthodontists often need to address loose or mispositioned brackets, and one option is to recycle them, but this may cause physical changes affecting their performance.
- The study compared the dimensions and frictional resistance of reconditioned brackets to new ones, finding significant increases in slot width and depth for the reconditioned brackets.
- Despite these changes, the static frictional forces of reconditioned brackets were similar to new ones, suggesting that reconditioning does not significantly impact their performance in treatment.
Objective: The purpose of this prospective observational study was to evaluate the relationship between nasal morphology and maxillary skeletal pattern. The clinical significance was to emphasize the importance of role of nasal pattern in diagnosis and treatment planning.
Materials And Methods: The sample included the pre-treatment lateral cephalometric radiographs of 180 South Indian adults (94 women, 86 men), aged 18 to 28 years.
Background And Objectives: In orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, assessment of anteroposterior discrepancy is of importance to the orthodontist. Both angular and linear measurements have been incorporated into various cephalometric analyses to help the clinician diagnose anteroposterior discrepancies and establish the most appropriate treatment plan. Hence the present study is designed to establish the norms of Beta angle to assess the sagittal discrepancy for Nellore district population.
