OBJECTIVE To compare the anchorage effects of the implants and the headgear for patients with anterior teeth retraction in terms of incisor retraction, anchorage loss, inclination of maxillary incisors, positional change of maxillary basal bone, and treatment duration. MATERIALS AND METHODS An electronic search for relative randomized controlled trials (RCTs) prospective and retrospective con...

We have developed methodology to identify the block to anchorage-independent growth and position it within the fibroblast cell cycle. Results with NRK fibroblasts show that mitogen stimulation of the G0/G1 transition and G1-associated increases in cell size are minimally affected by loss of cell anchorage. In contrast, the induction of G1/S cell cycle genes and DNA synthesis is markedly inhibit...

Aims and Objectives The aim of this article is to re-evaluate anchorage coefficient values in orthodontics and their influence in the treatment decision through the usage of three-dimensional (3D) scanner. Materials and Methods A sample of 80 patients was analyzed with the 3D scanner using the C2000 and Cepha 3DT softwares (CIRAD Montpellier, France). Tooth anatomy parameters (linear measurem...

INTRODUCTION The goal of this retrospective cephalometric study was to compare orthodontic outcomes in patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion malocclusion treated with extraoral headgear or mini-implants for maximum anchorage. MATERIALS Forty-seven subjects with Angle Class II malocclusion or Class I bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion were treated by retracting the maxillary dento...

The aim of this study was to review the literature and evaluate failure rates factors that affect stability success temporary anchorage devices (TADs) used as orthodontic anchorage. Data collected from electronic databases: MEDLINE database Google Scholar. Four combinations term were keywords: “micro-implant”, “mini-implant”, “mini-screw”, “orthodontics”. following selection criteria select app...

One of the most important phases of oral health is the form and function of the oral mechanism. Recently, pediatric dentists are concerned with the obvious esthetic disabilities and the pathologic implications of the malposed teeth. Interceptive and functional orthodontic treatment is playing a major role in these discrepancies. Anchorage is an important consideration in orthodontics, particula...

this paper presented a multimodal discourse analysis of some visual images in the political rally discourse of 2011 electioneering campaigns in southwestern nigeria. the data comprised purposively selected political visual artefacts from political rallies across the six southwestern states in nigeria (osun, oyo, ondo, ekiti, ogun, and lagos). the data were analyzed using halliday’s (1985) syste...
