An Audit On Waiting Period For Alveolar Bone Graft (ABG) After Pre-ABG Orthodontic Treatment In Abdul Samad Orthodontic Clinic

Alveolar Bone Remodeling and Development after Immediate Orthodontic Root Movement

Orthodontic treatment of the adult patient has grown substantially in recent years primarily due to the longevity of natural dentition, an increased awareness of functional benefits of orthodontics and increasing esthetic demands [1]. Compared to the younger patient and in addition to possible malalignment of teeth and jaws, the adult patient will more likely present with a compromised dentitio...

Does Orthodontic Treatment Affect the Alveolar Bone Density?

Few studies involving human participants have been conducted to investigate the effect of orthodontic treatment on alveolar bone density around the teeth. Our previous study revealed that patients who received 6 months of active orthodontic treatment exhibited an ∼24% decrease in alveolar bone density around the teeth. However, after an extensive retention period following orthodontic treatment...

An asymptomatic orthodontic bracket in the mandibular alveolar bone region.

To cite: Chandra RV, Anumala N, Vikrant V. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013009866 DESCRIPTION Orthodontic appliances have a propensity towards loosening, dislodgement or displacement into the surrounding hard and soft tissues. Ingestion or aspiration of orthodontic materials such as brackets, archwires, elastic separators and parts of complex o...

Three-D imaging of dental alveolar bone change after fixed orthodontic treatment in patients with periodontitis.

OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to radiographically quantify bone height and bone density in patients with periodontitis after fixed orthodontic treatment using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 81 patients including 40 patients with chronic periodontitis (group 1) and 41 patients with normal periodontal tissues (group 2) were selected. CBCT sca...
