Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness and oral hygiene maintenance of two types of lower canine-canine retainers: flexible spiral wire (FSW) and ceramic interlocking bonded.
- Conducted as a randomized controlled trial with 40 orthodontic patients, the research showed that while both retainers were effective, the FSW group had a significantly higher plaque index score.
- Although both retainers maintained treatment results well, the FSW retainer's tendency to accumulate more plaque indicates a need for stricter oral hygiene practices among users.
Objectives: To examine the effect of micro-osteoperforation (MOP) on the space closure rate using passive self-ligating or conventional brackets.
Materials And Methods: This was a two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial undertaken at the outpatient department of a dental college. There were 60 participants (30 women and 30 men) who fulfilled the inclusion criteria.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate, the change in the transverse maxillary arch dimensions, in patients requiring all first premolar extractions when using Active and Passive Self-ligating brackets, and comparing them with Conventional brackets.
Materials And Methods: This study was a non-blinded randomised clinical trial, which consisted of 42 patients (21 males and 21 females) within the age group of 16-25 years, having bimaxillary protrusion. They were divided into three groups with 14 patients each.

January 2019
Adult orthodontics has gained widespread acceptance recently with the introduction of more esthetic options for the patient. The major deterrent that remains is the prolonged treatment time associated with comprehensive orthodontic treatment. The objective of this paper is to present a review of techniques, which could be employed by the orthodontist in conjunction with a periodontist to enhance the rate of orthodontic tooth movement.
