[ 1 ] - The effect of fixed orthodontic treatment with first premolar extraction on mandibular third molars angulation and retromolar space

Introduction: In most orthodontic patients, mandibular 3rd molars are in early stages of calcification, and prediction of eruption status would be difficult during the course of orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of first premolar extraction with moderate anchorage on angular changes of third mandibular molar after orthodontic treatment. Materials & Methods...

[ 2 ] - Second Molar Uprighting with Temporary Anchorage Devices: A Finite Element Study

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Premature loss of mandibular first molar is a common problem in adults. Mesial tipping of second molar may occur in this situation. Various orthodontic mechanics have been proposed for molar uprighting. The aim of this study was to compare four methods of molar uprighting using Finite Element Analysis(FEM). METHODS: In first model of this finite element study, a 0.019...

[ 3 ] - Alcohol Induced Osteopenia Can Cause Accelerated Orthodontic Tooth Movement in Male Wistar Rats

Background and Aim: Considering the effect of alcohol on bones, consuming alcohol may have some consequences on orthodontic tooth movement. The present study was aimed to evaluate the effect of alcohol consumption on bone density and orthodontic tooth movement in rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, thirty rats were divided into three groups and underwent 3 weeks of diffe...
