The placement of bonded retainers can be daunting to the inexperienced clinician. The aim of the present article was to share a simple means of using everyday intermaxillay elastics to effortlessly secure the wire, allowing the clinician to easily complete placement of the bonded retainer. The challenge of manipulating the wire, etch, bond and composite simultaneously is thus alleviated! A step-by-step explanation is provided.

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.
Immediate and delayed micro shear bond strength evaluation of two glass ionomer cements to composite resin by using different bonding techniques-an in vitro study.

Department of Restorative Dental Science, College of Dentistry, Taibah University, Madinah, Saudi Arabia.
Objective: Evaluating immediate and delayed micro shear bond strength (µSBS) between composite resin and glass ionomer cements using different adhesive systems and mechanical surface treatment.
Materials And Methods: A total of 240 specimens of glass ionomer restorative materials were divided into two groups: Resin Modified Glass Ionomer Cement (RMGIC) namely Riva Light Cure and Conventional Glass Ionomer Cement (CGIC) namely Riva Self Cure. These were subdivided into immediate (24 h) and delayed (3 months) storage and further divided into smooth, medium, and rough surface treatment with either total etch (TE) or self-etch (SE) adhesive strategies.

Background: To evaluate 4 different composite resins in terms of aligner attachment accuracy and surface roughness.
Material And Methods: 160 premolars were divided into 4 groups (n=40): Group 1: GC Aligner Connect™; 2: GC Ortho Connect™; 3: 3M ESPE Filtek™ Z350 XT flowable; 4: 3M ESPE Filtek™ Z350 XT Universal. Each group was divided into 2 equal subgroups regarding curing irradiances (Power of 1000 mW/cm in subgroup A for 10s, and 3200 mW/cmin B for 3s, VALO™ Cordless-LED Curing Light).
