Facial soft tissue esthetics is a priority in orthodontic treatment, and emerging of the digital technologies can offer new methods to help orthodontist toward an esthetic outcome. This prospective study aimed assess changes face after six months retention following Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME). The sample consisted 25 patients (13 females, 12 males, mean age: 11.6 years) who presented with ...

This research was intended for researchers to analyze strategic components in 21st century learning, namely Realitic Mathematics Education (RME) and digital-based mathematics learning which is manifested the Learning Implementation Plan at SMAN 03 Pontianak SMA Kristen Immanuel Pontianak. The method used this qualitative. analysis carried out using an assessment rubric criteria were constructed...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of systemic thymoquinone (TQ) in a rat rapid maxillary expansion (RME) study. DESIGN Thirty-two Wistar albino rats were divided into 4 equal groups: only-expansion (OE), expansion plus TQ (TQ1 group, TQ given to the rats during their nursery phase and during the expansion and retention period), expansion plus TQ (TQ2 group, TQ given t...

BACKGROUND The etiology of nocturnal enuresis (NE) is multifactorial and has not been fully explained yet. New ways of treatment are constantly being investigated, including the rapid maxillary expansion (RME). METHODS A total of 41 patients diagnosed with NE were divided into two experimental groups: A and B. Group A included 16 children who have been treated with RME. Group B comprised 25 c...

Although nickel is the most common cause of contact allergy, nickel-containing orthodontic appliances seldom cause adverse reactions that result in discontinuation of treatment. We report on an eruption of dermatitis in the face and neck of an adult female patient after placement of a rapid maxillary expansion appliance (RME). Because the patient suspected nickel allergy, her tolerance to the a...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the long-term changes in maxillary arch widths, overjet, and overbite in patients who were treated with rapid maxillary expansion (RME) followed by edgewise appliances. MATERIALS AND METHODS The material for the study consisted of study casts taken from 41 patients (19 males, 22 females) on four different occasions (before treatment, T1; after RME, T2; after treatment, T...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this cephalometric study was to analyze the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and facemask (FM), or FM combined with bite block (BB), on the sagittal pharyngeal dimensions in subjects with Class III malocclusion when compared with an untreated Class III control group. METHODS Thirty-nine subjects (22 girls, 17 boys) were divided into 2 groups: the FM/BB group ...

Preventing oxidative deterioration of fish oil is a significant challenge for the food industry. Natural antioxidants are widely incorporated into foods to prevent oxidation and extend shelf life. Vine tea (Ampelopsis grossedentata) extract has been shown to have antioxidant activity in vegetable oils, but the efficacy in fish oil is unknown. The goal of our study was to test the antioxidant ac...

The activity of surface receptors is location specific, dependent upon the dynamic membrane trafficking network and receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME). Therefore, the spatio-temporal dynamics of RME are critical to receptor function. The plasma membrane receptor flagellin sensing2 (FLS2) confers immunity against bacterial infection through perception of flagellin (flg22). Following elicitation...
