A Simplified Technique for the Fabrication of Esthetic and Functional Space Maintainers in Pediatric Dentistry

Journal of Esthetic and Restorative Dentistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Premature loss of primary molars remains a frequent clinical problem in pediatric dentistry and may lead to space loss, occlusal disturbances, and the need for future orthodontic intervention. Conventional space maintainers, such as the band‐and‐loop appliance, are effective in preserving arch length but do not restore occlusal ...

Clear Aligners and Bruxism: A Systematic Review

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, EarlyView.
This study aimed to systematically evaluate the relationship between clear aligner therapy and bruxism, including both sleep and awake bruxism, to determine whether aligners act as a neutral factor, protective agent, or risk factor. The findings indicate that no definitive conclusion can be drawn, as the current evidence is limited and contradictory ...

The Effect of Preheating, Resin-Based Composite, and Wire Types of Orthodontic Lingual Fixed Retainers on the Load at Failure: A Comparative In-Vitro Study. [PDF]

J Esthet Restor Dent
ABSTRACT Background Preheating resin‐based composites (RBC) has been shown to enhance their mechanical and bonding properties. Nevertheless, the effect of preheating RBCs on the performance of orthodontic lingual fixed retainers has been scarcely reported.

Effect of Maxillary Expansion and Protraction in Class III Children on Quality of Life, Dentofacial and Upper Airway Characteristics: A Controlled Clinical Trial

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To explore the relationship between early dentofacial orthopaedic treatment, improvement in the width of oropharynx and nasopharynx, and quality of life. Materials and Methods Thirty‐three prepubertal children with skeletal Class III (median age 9 years; 56% females) received treatment with a maxillary expander and facemask.

Comparative Evaluation of Treatment Effectiveness in Skeletal Class III Malocclusion: Surgery‐First Approach Using Clear Aligners Versus Fixed Appliances

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to assess treatment outcomes, identify predictors of relapse in skeletal Class III patients treated with the surgery‐first approach (SFA), comparing fixed appliances (FA) with invisalign clear aligners (CA). Materials and Methods Forty adult patients treated with bimaxillary surgery and SFA were retrospectively ...

Applied materials engineering for orthodontic wires

Australasian Orthodontic Journal, 1989
Abstract In Australia, the history of materials engineering for orthodontic wires is generally related to the development of the Begg appliance. Therefore, until recently, it has helped in the search for light resilient forces produced by fine high-tensile stainless steel wires.

In Vitro Aligners Force Analysis in the Maxillary Arch During En‐Masse Retraction With Different Attachment Positions

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to analyse the three‐dimensional forces acting on maxillary teeth with aligners activation of en‐masse retraction based on the different attachment positions in vitro. Methods Three groups were designed for the same 0.25 mm en‐masse retraction forces with three different attachment positions.
