Effect of Displacement of Bracket Position after Initial Placement on Shear Bond Strength: An Study.

Context: Displacement of bracket after initial placement on tooth surface in the precure phase of bonding influences the shear bond strength.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of bracket displacement during the precure phase after initial placement on the tooth surface on shear bond strength of chemical cure and light cure composites.

Settings And Design: experimental study.

Effect of Adhesion Boosters on the Shear Bond Strength of New Brackets Bonded to a Debonded Tooth Surface - An Study.

Context: Effect of adhesion boosters on shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets.

Aim: The aim is to evaluate the shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index (ARI) score of new brackets bonded to a debonded tooth surface with and without the use of adhesion boosters.

Settings And Designs: comparative study.

Evaluation of Biomechanical Properties of Four Loops at Different Activation: A Finite Element Method Study.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the force, moment, and moment/force ratio (M/F) generated by activating T loop, Kalra Simultaneous Intrusion and Retraction (KSIR) loop, Omega loop, and Teardrop loop made of titanium molybdenum alloy (TMA) wire with different preactivation bends at 1, 2, and 4 mm activation.

Materials And Methods: Finite element method (FEM) models of the four loops were created and different preactivation bends were placed. The loops were then activated and analyzed for force, moment, and M/F ratio using ANSYS software.

Platelets and Their Pathways in Dentistry: Systematic Review.

Advancing research in medicine and technology has benefitted the mankind immensely with its contribution toward an improved life quality and increased life expectancy. The inability of a human body to autoregenerate has resulted in an increased demand for newer and healthier tissues and organs. Therefore, the restoration of naturally replicated tissue components has become a subject of interest for the scientific community lately.
