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.

Comparing Program Compatibility For Dental Operators Between Different In-Office Clear Aligners Software, Karim Ibrahim Hammam, Essam Nassef, Mostafa Al Dawltaly

Future Dental Journal

Aim: The aim of the present study was to compare program compatibility for dental operators between different in office clear aligners software: (3D Maestro,3shape, BlueSky bio, Plainmeca). Materials and methods: 4 in office clear aligners software: (3D Maestro,3shape, BlueSky bio, Plainmeca) were used. Ten orthodontists were recruited for the evaluation process, A total of 48 casts were used including upper and lower arches for each case. Each orthodontist made a check mark on each option in the pre-made scoring template.A check mark with YES was given a One point, and a check mark with NO was given Zero point. Results: …

Assessment Of External Apical Root Resorption Following En-Masse And Two Steps Retraction In Maxillary Protrusion Cases: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial, Aya Ahmed El Ashwal, Heba Mohamed Dehis, Faten Eid

Future Dental Journal

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the degree of external apical root resorption (EARR) following En-masse retraction (EM) and compared it to two steps retraction technique (TS) using friction mechanics.

Materials and Methods: Thirty adult female with maxillary protrusion were randomly allocated by a computer sequence generator with 1:1 allocation ratio. EM group (mean age = 17.7 ± 1.89 years) and TS group (mean age = 17.7 ± 1.77 years). Mini-screws were inserted followed by first premolars extraction then randomization was accomplished. Patients received treatment with either EM procedure or TS to close the extraction spaces after …
