Background: Peri-implant biofilm formation due to local bacterial colonization is one of the important factors for the instability of temporary anchorage devices (TADs).
Aim: The aim of this study was to quantify and compare the colonization of on ultraviolet (UV) treated and untreated titanium TADs.
Materials And Methods: This prospective, study included 20 subjects requiring orthodontic treatment with first premolar extraction, followed by retraction of the anterior teeth with absolute anchorage using TADs.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how mandibular advancement affects gene expression in young rats' mandibular condylar cartilage, focusing on Sdf1 and Foxc1 during a recovery phase.
- Four groups of Wistar rats were used, including a control and experimental group, with methods involving real-time RT-PCR and histological analysis to assess changes during and after the use of the dental appliance.
- Results showed significant changes in genetic expression and cartilage layers, indicating that the mandibular advancement appliances stimulate growth in the cartilage, with persistent changes in gene expression even after removal of the appliances.
Treatment effects of "PowerScope" fixed functional appliance - a clinical study.

Aim: To study the skeletal, dental effects and evaluate the soft tissue changes with PowerScope-fixed functional appliance in class II malocclusion.
Materials And Methods: This clinical study was carried out where a total of 10 growing (CVMS 3 and 4) Class II Division 1 malocclusion patients, indicated for treatment with fixed functional appliance were allocated based on specific inclusion criteria. PowerScope (American Orthodontics) was used as the fixed functional appliance.
Implant stability plays a critical role for successful osseointegration. Successful osseointegration is a prerequisite for functional dental implants. Continuous monitoring in an objective and qualitative manner is important to determine the status of implant stability.
