Three-Dimensional Assessment of the Condylar Position in Different Malocclusions Using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Introduction The role of the condylar position in the correct functioning of the stomatognathic system has been the center of the study. Using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), this study looked at the three-dimensional (3D) position of the condylar bone in patients from Class I, Class II, Division 1, and Division 2. Materials and methods This cross-sectional, retrospective study was conducted using 102 CBCT records, with 34 records allocated to each category of malocclusion classification, such as dentoskeletal Class I, skeletal Class II, and dental Class II, Division 1 and 2.

The Role of Faculty Development in Improving the Quality of Multiple-Choice Questions in Dental Education.

Valid and reliable assessment of students' knowledge and skills is integral to dental education. However, most faculty members receive no formal training on student assessment techniques. The aim of this study was to quantify the value of a professional development program designed to improve the test item-writing skills of dental faculty members.

Evaluation of Bond Failure Rate of Orthodontic Brackets Bonded with Green Gloo-Two Way Color Changes Adhesive: A Clinical Study.

Background: Bonding is an important step in fixed orthodontic mechanotherapy. Many new materials introduced an adhesive for bonding. This study was designed to evaluate the clinical bond failure rate of orthodontic brackets bonded with green glue: two way color changes adhesive and transbond XT adhesive paste.

A Retrospective Analysis of Pulp Stones in Patients following Orthodontic Treatment.

Aim: The present study aimed to find prevalence of pulp stones in known South Indian orthodontic patients and to find correlation between pulp stones and patients who underwent orthodontic treatment as well as to reveal any differences due to gender, tooth type, and dental arches.

Materials And Methods: The present retrospective study was carried out among 200 patients who underwent nonextraction orthodontic treatment. Maxillary and mandibular first and second premolar and molar teeth were selected for the purpose of the study using panoramic radiographs.

Alteration in Taste Perception among Young Children during the use of Removable Orthodontic Appliance Therapy.

Background: The sense of smell is very influential in the taste of foods. If the smell pleases us, we anticipate the taste of the food with a great deal of relish. If our sense of smell is impaired, so is our taste.

Assessment of the Effect of Orthodontic Treatment on the Periodontal Health of Endodontically Restored Tooth.

Unlabelled: Intorduction: Patients usually undergo orthodontic treatment for achieving ideal interocclusal relationship between the dental tissue and bony tissue along with improving the speech, mastication, and facial esthetic appearance. Literature quotes paucity in the studies evaluating the effect of orthodontic treatment on the periodontal health of endodontically treated teeth. Hence, we planned the present study to assess the effect of orthodontic treatment on the periodontal health of endodonti-cally restored tooth.

Effect of cleft lip palate repair on craniofacial growth.

Objective: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to compare craniofacial growth among operated and unoperated unilateral cleft lip and palate non-syndromic subjects.

Materials And Methods: A sample of 180 subjects of Indian origin was selected. Of them, 90 were operated, and 90 were unoperated complete unilateral cleft lip and palate individuals.

Changes in the morphology of the labial alveolar bone of protruded permanent maxillary incisors secondary to orthodontic alignment.

Aim: Treatment of protruded maxillary incisors involves retraction. Lingual positioning of protruded incisors improves the width of the attached gingiva. This study was conducted to document changes in the buccal alveolar bone upon retraction of protruded permanent maxillary central incisors.
