Quantum of incisal compensation in skeletal class III malocclusion: a cross-sectional study.

Objectives: Skeletal class III malocclusion presents either with maxillary retrognathism, mandibular excess, or a combination. Dentoalveolar compensations occur with maxillary incisor proclination and mandibular incisor retroclination. The aim of this study is to quantify the amount of incisal compensation in class III skeletal malocclusion and correlate it to the severity of the skeletal base.

Posttreatment Stability Following Facemask Therapy in Patients with Skeletal Class III Malocclusion: A Systematic Review.

Background: Skeletal class III malocclusion is a challenging condition that orthodontists frequently come across. The facemask (FM) is a device commonly used to treat this malocclusion. However, the stability of this orthopedic correction remains unclear, and collective documentation of the short-, mid-, and long-term stability after FM therapy is necessary.

Evaluation of pain intensity with prostaglandin E2 biomarker and visual analog scale during initiation of orthodontic treatment: A prospective study.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess subjectively and objectively, at which timepoint the patient undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment will have maximum pain during the initiation of orthodontic treatment.

Materials And Method: A total of 22 patients (21 ± 2.7 years, [15 female and 7 male]) requiring extraction of maxillary first premolar participated in the study.

A comparative evaluation of ion release from different commercially-available orthodontic mini-implants - an in-vitro study.

Background: Titanium alloy mini-implants have become popular in recent times and have been extensively used and studied. Although corrosion resistance of orthodontic materials has always been of concern, this property has been the least explored. The present study aimed to assess the composition, surface characterisation and corrosion resistance of five commercially available mini-implants by assaying ion release in artificial saliva.
