A Comparison of Arch Length, Intercanine Width, Intermolar Width, and Interalveolar Width in Patients With Angle's Class II Division I Malocclusion With Shallow and Deep Palates.

Background and objective Palatal depth is significant as it impacts the intra-arch dimensions in patients with Angle's Class II Division 1 malocclusion. Hence, understanding this relationship is crucial for developing targeted orthodontic treatment plans, to optimize dental alignment and overall facial aesthetics. This study aimed to compare the arch length, intercanine width, intermolar width, and interalveolar width in patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion with deep palates and those with shallow palates.

Correlation of Palatal Index With Pharyngeal Airway in Various Skeletal Patterns.

Introduction This retrospective study aimed to correlate palatal index with pharyngeal airway in class I, class II and class III skeletal patterns. Materials and methods A total of 30 individuals with a mean age of 17.5 years were included in the study.

Comparison of Alveolar Bone Thickness, Sagittal Root Positions, and Arch Forms in Class I, II, and III Malocclusions: A Cephalometric Study.

Objective: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the sagittal root position, arch shapes, and alveolar bone thickness in classes I, II, and III of skeletal patterns.

Material And Methods: Alveolar bone thickness, sagittal root placements, and arch morphologies in classes I, II, and III malocclusions were measured using 30 study models and 30 lateral cephalograms, both with a mean age of 16.5 years.

Space closure with loop mechanics for treatment of bimaxillary protrusion: a case report.

This case report intends to highlight the space closure with tear drop loop mechanics for bimaxillary protrusion. Loops can be fabricated in a sectional or full arch wire, and closing loops are usually used in loop mechanics for extraction space closure. The major advantage of loop mechanics is the lack of friction between the bracket and arch wire during space closure.

Effect of Self-etch Primer-adhesive and Conventional Adhesive Systems on the Shear Bond Strength and Bond Failure of Orthodontic Brackets: A Comparative Study.

Background: Prompt-L-Pop is a sixth generation bonding system contains methacrylated phosphoric acid esters that combine an acidic component for etching the enamel and a primer, is an all-in-one adhesive. This study was undertaken to compare the bonding strength of brackets to enamel with traditional bonding technique and the new Prompt-L-Pop system using the same composite resin.

Materials And Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, 60 human premolar teeth extracted for orthodontic treatment were collected.

Comparison of Bond Strength of Brackets with Foil Mesh and Laser Structure Base using Light Cure Composite Resin: An in vitro Study.

Background And Objectives: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the bond strength of the laser-etched base bracket, site of bond failure, and evaluate for enamel remnants on the bracket base after debonding, when compared to foil mesh base bracket.

Materials And Methods: Sixty noncarious, human premolar extracted for the orthodontic treatment were used for this study. The teeth were randomly divided into two groups containing 30 teeth each, which were bonded with laser-etched base bracket and mesh base bracket using light cure resin.

Comparison of reproducibility of natural head position using two methods.

Unlabelled: Lateral cephalometric radiographs have become virtually indispensable to orthodontists in the treatment of patients. They are important in orthodontic growth analysis, diagnosis, treatment planning, monitoring of therapy and evaluation of final treatment outcome.

Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the maximum reproducibility with minimum variation of natural head position using two methods, i.
