Surface Modifications Of Orthodontic Bone Screws - A Novel Approach, Sai Kalyan Menta Dr, Ravi M. S
Surface Modifications Of Orthodontic Bone Screws - A Novel Approach, Sai Kalyan Menta Dr, Ravi M. S
Annual Research Symposium
Anchorage control plays a key role in the correction of malocclusion. With the advent of orthodontic bone screws, attaining absolute anchorage control has become hassle free. They have the advantages of low cost, simple surgical placement, and ease of removal; therefore, they are convenient in the treatment of various malocclusions. Although the clinical stability of bone screws is exceptionally high, stability of the bone screws is compromised by factors such as microbial contamination and morphological defects. To overcome this, surface modifications are introduced to enhance the stability of the bone screws.
An Emg Study To Evaluate Chewing Efficiency And Maximum Voluntary Clenching (Mvc) For Different Malocclusion Groups Before And During Orthodontic Treatment, Vivek Reddy
Annual Research Symposium
The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of chewing and maximum voluntary clenching (MVC) of patients with different malocclusion types by measuring the EMG activity in the masseter and temporalis muscles before and during orthodontic treatment.

Festival of Communities: UG Symposium (Posters)
Our objective was to compare frictional resistance evident in aesthetic archwires to traditional (non-aesthetic) archwires. Methods: Archwires ligated with elasatics to fixed brackets were pulled through these brackets while frictional resistance (in lbf) was measured. Results: There were no confirmed significant differences between the frictional resistance of the aesthetic arch wires compared to the traditional non-coated wires for all wire sizes tested Conclusions: Our data suggests that a sacrifice of clinical performance with these aesthetic archwires as compared to traditional archwires is not likely
