Clinical audit of an artificial intelligence (AI) empowered smile simulation system: a prospective clinical trial.

Smile aesthetics is an important factor to consider during orthodontic treatment planning. The aim of the present study is to assess the predictability of Invisalign SmileView for digital AI smile simulation in comparison to actual smile treatment outcomes, using various smile assessment parameters. A total of 24 adult subjects (12 females and 12 males; mean age 22 ± 5.

Evaluation of the accuracy of full-arch impressions between three different intraoral scanners and conventional impressions: A prospective in vivo study.

Background: This in-vivo study evaluated the accuracy of full-arch digital impressions obtained through different intraoral scanning technologies regarding trueness and efficiency against the standard alginate impressions.

Methods: Alginate impressions were taken from 50 subjects, and the resulting stone casts were scanned using the Trios 3Shape desktop scanner. In-vivo scans were conducted on each participant using three intraoral scanners: Medit, CEREC Primescan, and 3Shape Trios.

Assessment of Frontal Sinus Volume and Cranial Base Length Based on Different Vertical Skeletal Patterns: A Cone Beam Computed Tomographic Study.

Introduction Evaluating craniofacial growth is an essential component of orthodontic treatment, and it is assessed by examining the cranial base. The anterior cranial base is regarded as a stable structure, and the frontal sinus is also recognised as a contributing component in the formation of the cranial base. The frontal sinus, a cavity present in the frontal bone, displays variation in both size and shape and has an impact on the overall structure of the skull and face.

Evaluation of Soft Tissue Compensations in Subjects With Facial Asymmetry Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): A Retrospective Study.

Introduction Facial asymmetry influences aesthetics and can involve either hard or soft tissues or both. Underlying skeletal asymmetry can be compensated by differential expression of soft tissue thickness on either side. Orthognathic surgical planning needs to take the interaction between the hard and soft tissues into account.

Distalization using efficient attachment protocol in clear aligner therapy-A case report.

To describe an esthetic orthodontic treatment using aligners in an adult patient with dental class II malocclusion associated with crowding. A 25-year-old female patient with skeletal class I, bilateral class II relation, increased overjet and overbite and crowding in both arches presented for orthodontic treatment. The patient refused conventional fixed multibracket treatment in favor of aligners.

Evaluation of Orthodontic Mini-Implant Placement in the Maxillary Anterior Alveolar Region in 15 Patients by Cone Beam Computed Tomography at a Single Center in South India.

BACKGROUND In this study, we aimed to evaluate orthodontic mini-implant placement in the maxillary anterior alveolar region by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in 15 patients at a single center in South India. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 15 CBCT scans of orthodontic patients after completion of leveling and aligning stage were included. The thickness of labial alveolar bone, labio-palatal bone, and inter-radicular distance between the maxillary central incisors (U1-U1), maxillary central and lateral incisor (U1-U2), and maxillary lateral incisor and canine (U2-U3) at vertical levels 4 mm, 6 mm, and 8 mm above the interdental cementoenamel junction were measured.

Bionic effects of nano hydroxyapatite dentifrice on demineralised surface of enamel post orthodontic debonding: in-vivo split mouth study.

Background: Orthodontic debonding procedure produces inevitable enamel surface alterations, sequelae to which are enamel demineralization, sensitivity and retention of pigments. Several agents have been employed to counterbalance the same. The purpose of this study was (1) To evaluate the hypothesis that no significant difference exists in the remineralising potential of nano hydroxyapatite (NanoHAP) dentifrice and fluoridated dentifrice after orthodontic debonding, (2) To estimate the enamel topographic parameters following use of nano HAP dentifrice, post orthodontic debonding.
