Future Dental Journal

Abstract

Introduction: Cephalometric x-ray is considered as a crucial step in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. However, patients nowadays, especially those pursuing cosmetic goals, are concerned about radiation dosages as a result of increased understanding. Therefore, the aim of this study is to provide a simple reliable, affordable and reproducible way to evaluate the soft tissue measures for creating an orthodontic treatment plan.

Methods: Comparing standardized profile photographs and lateral cephalograms were obtained from twenty-eight patients with maxillary protrusion of the age group between 14 – 24 years before and after retraction. Evaluation and comparison were done for cephalometric x-ray …

Synthetic Elastomeric Chain– A Literature Review, Wan-Tin Lin, Hsin-Chung Cheng, Yung-Kang Shen, Yi-Jyun Chen, Chien-Feng Chen

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics

Elastomeric chains were introduced to the orthodontic profession in the 1960s’, and are now an integral part of every day practices. They are used to generate light continuous forces for correcting rotations, consolidating spaces, and retraction canines. They are inexpensive, easily applied, relatively hygienic and require little or no patient cooperation. Elastomeric chain, however, are nor without their disadvantages. When exposed to an oral environment, they absorb water and saliva, permanent stain, and suffer breakdown of internal binds leading to permanent deformation. They also experience rapid loss of force due to stress relaxation, resulting in a gradual loss of effectiveness. …

10-Minute Ebd: Preferred Analgesia For Orthodontic Tooth Movement: Acetaminophen Or Nsaids?, Ryan N. Mcgovern

The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association

This 10-Minute EBD column explores the choice between acetaminophen and NSAIDs for managing pain during orthodontic tooth movement. The author presents a scenario involving a patient's discomfort after archwire adjustment and delves into the impact of tooth movement on the periodontium. The PICO question focuses on the effectiveness of NSAIDs and acetaminophen in controlling discomfort without impeding tooth movement. The literature search reveals varying recommendations on analgesics, with some studies favoring acetaminophen. The evidence suggests that acetaminophen and short-term celecoxib are suitable choices for orthodontic analgesia. However, caution is advised in extrapolating findings from animal studies to human conditions.

10-Minute Ebd: Artificial Intelligence In Orthodontics, Jayne Kessel Dds

The Journal of the Michigan Dental Association

This Ten-Minute Evidence-Based Dentistry Article provides an example of the implementation of the EBD search process with trusted search engines for the identification of the best literature through critical appraisal to answer a clinical question. "For patients receiving orthodontic care, is an AI-generated treatment plan as likely to achieve acceptable outcomes?" Orthodontic treatment planning is a complex and time-consuming process that requires a high degree of expertise. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to assist orthodontists in this process by automating some of the tasks involved, such as cephalometric analysis, surgery decisions, extraction decisions, and anchorage decisions.

Erupted Compound Odontoma Associated With Missing Tooth: A Rare Case Report, Weeraya Tantanapornkul, Ruchadaporn Kaomongkolgit, Sirilawan Tohnak, Lalitkorn Promma, Soranan Chantarangsu

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Odontomas are one of the most frequently found odontogenic tumors that consist of dental tissues. Odontomas have been classified into two types: compound and complex odontomas. They are usually discovered on routine radiographic examination. In rare cases, the odontoma erupt into the oral cavity, called an erupted odontoma. The first case was published in 1980, and since then, there have been not more than 50 cases being reported in the literature. Most of the reported cases are erupted complex odontoma. This case report represents a rare case of an erupted compound odontoma in a young patient who came with the …

Microleakage - The Main Culprit In Bracket Bond Failure?, Ioana Roxana Bordea, Adina Sîrbu, Ondine Lucaciu, Aranka Ilea, Radu Septimiu Câmpian, Doina Adina Todea, Teodora Gabriela Alexescu, Maria Aluaș, Corina Budin, Andreea Simona Pop

Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences

Microleakage is the most common cause of bracket debonding. Moreover, different thermal expansion coefficients between the enamel, the adhesive, and the bracket bases will cause repeated expansion and contraction, adding more stress to the bonding strength. Debonding represents the failure of the adhesion between the brackets and the tooth enamel. The debonding of brackets from the enamel surface is the result of several factors, such as acid-etching and drying, adhesive application, and the time and type of photo activation. The under polymerization process of composite photo activation may lead to early bracket debonding. Objective. The aim of this research …
