Dental arch dimensional changes in deep bite adults treated with orthodontic fixed appliances in conjunction with maxillary incisor vs. canine bite turbos during the levelling and aligning phase: a randomized clinical trial.

Introduction: This randomized clinical trial compared arch dimensional changes, dentoskeletal changes, and the rate of overbite correction in deep bite adults treated with fixed appliances and either maxillary incisor bite turbos (IBT) or canine bite turbos (CBT).

Materials And Methods: Forty-six deep bite subjects treated with fixed appliances were randomized into IBT (n = 23) and CBT (n = 23) groups. Changes in intercanine width (ICW), arch height (AH), and Little's Irregularity Index (LII) were analyzed from before treatment (T) to 3 months after aligning with 0.

Root resorption during maxillary molar intrusion with clear aligners: a randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: To compare changes in maxillary molar root resorption, intrusion amount, dentoskeletal measures, and maximum bite force (MBF) between clear aligners (CA) and fixed appliances with miniscrew (FM) during molar intrusion.

Materials And Methods: Forty adults with anterior open bite were randomized into either CA or FM groups. Lateral cephalograms, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), and MBF were collected at pretreatment (T0) and 6 months of treatment (T1).

Mandibular incisor root volume changes between anterior bite planes fabricated from acrylic resin and thermoplastic materials: a prospective randomized clinical trial.

Objectives: To compare mandibular incisor root volume change (RVC) after 6 months between an anterior bite plane fabricated from acrylic resin (ABP) and thermoplastic materials (TBP) in a group of growing patients.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-four deep bite patients (age: 11.57 ± 1.

Release of fluoride from orthodontic adhesives and penetration into enamel.

Objective: The purpose of this work was to compare fluoride release from three orthodontic adhesives and fluoride penetration into the enamel surface.

Materials And Methods: A total of 156 extracted human premolar teeth were randomly assigned to three experimental groups and one control group (without bonding) with 39 teeth per group. Brackets were bonded to teeth using Fuji Ortho LC, Illuminate, or Light Bond.

Factors influencing soft tissue profile changes following orthodontic treatment in patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion.

Background: Several studies have shown soft tissue profile changes after orthodontic treatment in Class II Division 1 patients. However, a few studies have described factors influencing the soft tissue changes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing the soft tissue profile changes following orthodontic treatment in Class II Division 1 patients.
