No dental decay was detected. Neither was bone/root resorption. From a periodontal perspective, the patient has quite satisfactory gingival health. He has a stable posterior occlusion after the orthodontic treatment (Figure 1). Whenever esthetic procedures are considered, emphasis must be put on gingival health. Thus, brushing technique had to be optimized. Periodontal treatment, including scal...

introduction: the current study investigated the pulp response to electric pulp testing (ept), before, upon initiation and one month after the start of orthodontic tooth movement. methods and materials: a total of 402 anterior teeth from 39 patients (mean age of 16.8±2.7 years) were examined in this non-controlled prospective study. the aligning forces were administered using initial niti archw...

Maxillary central incisors with short roots are occasionally encountered during orthodontic diagnosis. From an esthetic point of view, the central incisors occupy the most noticeable position in the maxillary and mandibular arches, and whether or not to extract them marks a major turning point in the planning of orthodontic treatment. In deciding a treatment strategy in this situation, there ar...

statement of the problem malocclusion is a developmental problem, which results in social, psychological and functional problems for patients purpose the aim of this study was to evaluate the need for orthodontic treatment using the index of orthodontic treatment need (iotn) among the 11‒14-year-old students of hamadan schools in 2010 and to find the correlation between dental health component ...

The combined treatment of severe dentofacial deformities normally consists of at least three steps: The preand post-operative orthodontic treatment and the treatment between surgical correction. The accuracy of the surgical planning and especially the surgery itself are crucial for the duration of the postoperative orthodontic treatment. Main reason for the segmentation of the jaws is the accel...

BACKGROUND Bisphosphonates are a common medication for the prevention and therapy of osteoporosis, but are also applied for tumor diseases. They affect bone metabolism, and therefore also orthodontic treatments, but how it does has yet not been definitively clarified. Therefore, the aim of this research was to evaluate and demonstrate the reported effects and the current state of scientific res...

In the mixed dentition, the goal of orthodontic treatment is to maintain or improve arch integrity for the eruption of the permanent teeth, and to prevent the development of a more complicated malocclusion. The importance of correct diagnosis prior to the treatment of mixed-dentition patients cannot be over emphasized. An understanding of the mixed dentition's normal development allows clinicia...
