PURPOSE With the increasing prevalence of orthodontic treatment in adults, clear aligner treatments are becoming more popular. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of orthodontic treatment on periodontal tissue and to compare orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances (FA) to clear aligner treatment (CAT) in periodontitis patients. METHODS A total of 35 patients who underwent ort...

We present the case of a 69-year-old man with a rectal granular-type laterally spreading tumor (LST) of about 50mm in diameter who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) using a Hybrid knife I-type (Erbe, Tübingen, Germany) at our institute (●" Fig.1). The following day, the patient developed rectal bleeding, and endoscopy revealed a large post-ESD ulcer with clots at the base (●" Fig...

objectives : the present study was designed to evaluate the changes in saliva properties and oral microbial flora in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment. materials and methods: two important saliva properties namely the salivary flow rate and ph as well as oral microbial flora were assessed in 30 orthodontic patients before starting fixed orthodontic treatment and after six, 12 and ...

Surgical technique to accelerate the rate of orthodontic tooth movement has been recognized in many case reports. It is a clinically successful method used for mature patients, where time of orthodontic treatment may be important in preferred groups of patients. The alveolar bone remodeling and PDL are the significant factors in orthodontic tooth movement, and bone turnover is identified to enl...

Appearance does count at any age. Esthetic compromise repels adult patients from accepting traditional metallic look orthodontic treatment. Tooth colored brackets and wires gained popularity for a few decades but gradually declined owing to its own disadvantages. Lingual orthodontic appliances brought paradigm shift, but could not got prevalent because of tedious bracket positioning, insufficie...

Surgery on the dentoalveolar process combined with orthodontic treatment was emphasized as an alternative method for reducing the treatment time and improving the orthodontic treatment on post-adolescent and adult patients. This combined treatment facilitates and accelerates orthodontic tooth movement. This article reviews the clinical practice in surgery-assisted orthodontic treatment in relat...

Purpose. As documented in the literature, bony defects can be managed by an orthodontic approach. Methods.

The use of orthodontic treatment in adult patients is becoming more common and these patients have different requirements specially regarding duration of treatment and facial and dental aesthetics. Alveolar corticotomy is an effective means of accelerating orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic treatment time is reduced with this technique to one-third of that in conventional orthodontics. The most...

abstract statement of problem: the viscosity of orthodontics adhesive primers is crucial for stability and correct brackets ‘position during bond up. an excessive adhesive flow during brackets seating could change the brackets’ position. objectives: the main purpose of this study was to investigate the viscosity of four orthodontic adhesive primers in two different temperatures. materials and m...
