Canine Retraction Rate And Angulation With 0.017”X0.025” Versus 0.016”X0.022” Stainless Steel Arch Wire With A Power Arm, Amr R. El-Beialy, Fouad A. El Sharaby, Hend S. Elsayed
Canine Retraction Rate And Angulation With 0.017”X0.025” Versus 0.016”X0.022” Stainless Steel Arch Wire With A Power Arm, Amr R. El-Beialy, Fouad A. El Sharaby, Hend S. Elsayed

Background: The dimensions of the arch wire affect its stiffness and the play between the wire and bracket. Canine retraction over stiffer arch wires limits the degree of canine tipping. However, the greater the wire dimensions, the greater the resistance to sliding. Frictional resistance is known to delay tooth movement. Aim: The aim of this controlled clinical trial was to compare canine retraction rate and angulation with 0.017”X0.025” versus 0.016”X0.022” stainless steel arch wire with a power arm. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four Class II malocclusion patients (age 13.8± 2.6 years) participated in this study. The teeth were leveled and aligned. …
Assessment Of Association Between Pain And Root Resorption During Canine Retraction: An Exploratory Study, Hend S. Elsayed
Assessment Of Association Between Pain And Root Resorption During Canine Retraction: An Exploratory Study, Hend S. Elsayed
Future Dental Journal
Background: Pain and root resorption are common adverse events reported in the orthodontic literature. Both are side effects of the sterile inflammatory tissue reaction related to the application of orthodontic force. Aim: The aim of this exploratory study was to assess the association between pain and root resorption during canine retraction. Materials and Methods: Twenty-four patients indicated for first premolar extraction and canine retraction were recruited. All patients were treated with 0.022” X 0.028” Roth prescription brackets. After leveling and alignment, canines were retracted over 0.017” X 0.025” stainless steel arch wires. Canines were retracted with elastomeric chains applying 150g …
