Objectives: To report the prevalence of pulp stones (PSs) in molars of orthodontically treated patients, investigate the impact of orthodontic treatment (ORT) using clear aligners (CAs) and fixed appliances (FAs) on the development of PSs in molars, and investigate the association between the incidence of PSs during ORT and the studied variables.
Materials And Methods: Pretreatment orthopantomograms (OPGs) of 600 patients were assessed. Of those, posttreatment OPGs of 272 patients were available.
Objectives: To compare blood flow (BF) changes of teeth subjected to orthodontic forces during curve of Spee (COS) leveling using different archwires (AW).
Material And Methods: Thirty subjects with COS > 5 mm were randomly assigned (1:1:1) into three groups based on the AW used: group 1: 0.017 × 0.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare three different archwires used for leveling the curve of Spee in orthodontics, focusing on various factors such as effectiveness, pain experienced, and changes in the lower arch dimensions.
- A total of 53 subjects with a curve of Spee greater than 5 mm participated in a randomized clinical trial where they were assigned to one of three groups, each receiving a different type of archwire: stainless-steel and beta-titanium.
- Results indicated that all groups achieved a reduction in the curve of Spee, with significant differences in effectiveness between the groups, while lower incisors showed minimal external apical root resorption, and pain levels were notably higher among subjects using one specific archwire during the first day post
