Effect of 850 nm LED irradiation on the alignment of crowded mandibular anterior teeth: a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Clin Oral Investig
December 2024
Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Kurdistan University of Medical Sciences, Sanandaj, Iran.
Introduction: This study aims to determine if intraoral 850 nm LED irradiation could reduce the duration of lower anterior crowding alignment.
Methods: In a parallel-designed, randomized controlled clinical trial 60 patients with 2 to 6 mm of lower incisor crowding who need non-extraction treatment, were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups by block randomization (36 females, 24 males, mean age: 19.93 ± 3.
Comparison of Microleakage and Bond Strength in Metal and Ceramic Brackets Cured by Conventional and Transillumination Methods: An Evaluation.
Int J Clin Pediatr Dent
September 2024
Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Chettinad Dental College & Research Institute, Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, India.
Background: The study explores the impact of microleakage on bracket (metal/ceramic) debonding and the occurrence of white spot lesions during orthodontic treatment. Various curing techniques are employed to assess shear bond strength (SBS) and microleakage in both metal and ceramic brackets.
Materials And Methods: A total of 120 samples were divided into six groups, each consisting of 20 samples.

To evaluate the SBS, DC, and rheological valuation of experimental 1 wt % Cur-loaded-HNPs orthodontic adhesive to bond bracket to enamel surface treated with PA; Nd: YAG, and Er: Cr, YSGG lasers. Two adhesives were prepared experimental adhesive (EA) and EA loaded with 1-wt % Cur-HNP. Surface characterization of Cur-loaded HNP was performed under SEM along with EDS.

Medicine (Baltimore)
December 2024
Private Practice, Viet Anh Orthodontic Clinic, Hanoi, Vietnam.
Rationale: Current literature describes only 2 cases combining miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) with lingual appliances. These cases require 2 impressions, 1 before and 1 after palatal expansion, to ensure accurate lingual appliance placement, potentially increasing treatment time and cost. This case report aimed to demonstrate a modified workflow of combining MARPE and lingual appliances in managing an adult patient with anteroposterior and transversal discrepancies, requiring only a single digital impression for both fabrication and positioning.
