Accuracy Of Dolphin Imaging Software Vs Quickceph Studio In Prediction Of The Extraction Treatment Outcomes Of Class Ii Malocclusion In Adult Patients: A Retrospective Study, Mostafa Ahmad Hashem, Hala Munir Abdel Majeed, Sameh Mohamed Talaat

Future Dental Journal

This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of Dolphin Imaging Software and QuickCeph Studio in predicting the soft tissue profile following extraction treatment of Class II malocclusion. The study included 32 Class II patients aged 14 to 30 years who had previously undergone orthodontic treatment with extraction of first premolars. The accuracy of both software applications was evaluated using preoperative and postoperative lateral cephalometric X-rays and extra-oral photographs to compare the predicted outcomes with the actual post-treatment outcomes. Results: there was no significant difference between posttreatment and predicted regarding dolphin software while there was only a significant difference between posttreatment …

Three-Dimensional Analysis Of Dental Arch Form In Relation To The Vertical Facial Pattern In Class I Patients: A Cross-Sectional Study, Ahmad Ghassan Droubi, Islam Gad, Aly Osman

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Introduction: Understanding the relationship between dental arch form and vertical facial pattern is crucial in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Variations in vertical facial morphology can influence dental arch form, which in turn impacts the effectiveness and stability of orthodontic interventions.

Objectives: The study explores the associations between dental arch form with the different vertical facial patterns, including hyperdivergent, normodivergent, and hypodivergent patterns in skeletal Class I patients.

Methods: A cross-sectional observational design was employed to examine a sample of 48 patients with skeletal Class I seeking orthodontic treatment; of which 24 males and 24 females. Each …

Reliability Of Diagnosis Using The Andrews Six Elements Treatment Philosophy, Jenna M. Schneider

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

ABSTRACT

Inter/Intra Reliability of Diagnosis using the Andrews Six Elements Treatment Philosophy

Jenna M. Schneider, D.D.S., Khaled Alsharif, B.D.S, M.S., Peter Ngan, D.M.D., Guoqiang Guan, D.D.S., Ph.D., Will A. Andrews, D.D.S.

Background and Objectives: In order to diagnose and treatment plan orthodontic cases, orthodontists employ many different treatment philosophies and disciplines, and practice with their own understanding and adaptation of such philosophies. Andrews-trained orthodontics incorporate the defined six elements: the dental arch and its supporting tissues/structures, anteroposterior jaw relations and positions, buccal-lingual jaw relations and positions, jaw heights, chin prominence, and the occlusion [ideal characteristics described in the Six …

Skeletal And Dental Effects Of The Carriere Motion Appliance™ In Non-Growing Class Ii Patients: A Cephalometric Study, Anna Cathlyn Giles

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Background and Objectives: Dental and skeletal Class II discrepancies are commonly associated with orofacial disharmony, and therefore appear in orthodontic clinics frequently. Class II correction for adults is generally limited to camouflage treatment with extractions, Class II elastics, Class II correctors, distalization, or orthognathic surgery in severe cases. The orthodontic field is constantly innovating to find efficient and effective means to correct class II malocclusions. The Carriere Motion Appliance TM was introduced in 2004 as an effective “distalizing” appliance to be used as a non-extraction approach to Class II correction for adolescent and adult patients. Recent clinical evidence suggests that …

A Comparative Study On The Accuracy And Reliability Of Artificial Intelligent Lateral Cephalogram Tracing Programs, Stuart Mills

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports (ETD)

Objective: To compare the accuracy and reliability of two commercially available Artificial Intelligent (AI) cephalogram tracing software programs to doctor traced cephalograms.

Materials and Methods: A sample of 100 pretreatment cephalograms were analyzed with AI based software programs, Angel Aligner iCeph and WebCeph, then compared to images traced by an orthodontist using Dolphin Imaging. Of the 100 samples, 50 were skeletally Class I and 50 were skeletally Class II. For each cephalogram produced, the American Board of Orthodontics 11 measurements were acquired from each of the three tracing programs. One way analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey’s HSD test …

The Effect Of Premolar Extractions On The Change Of Angulation And Eruption Space Of The Mandibular Third Molars After Orthodontic Treatment, Asmae Benkaddour, Khaoula M’Rabt, Loubna Bahije, Fatima Zaoui, Asmae Bahoum

International Arab Journal of Dentistry

Objectives: Our study was designed to analyze the effect of lower premolar extraction on the evolution space of the lower third molars, as well as their position and angulation during orthodontic treatment.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional, retrospective, descriptive and analytical study comparing two groups of patients: the first group includes 20 patients treated without premolar extraction, and the second group, 27 patients treated with premolar extraction. Linear and angular measurements were performed on panoramic radiographs and lateral cephalograms of orthodontic pre- and post-treatment.

Results: The eruption space and the horizontal position of the lower third molars, …

Enhancing Orthodontic Retraction: A Randomized Controlled Trial On Injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin's Impact On Tooth Movement, Gabriel Eisenhuth, Sebastian Eisenhuth

Annual Research Symposium

Introduction: Accelerated orthodontics aims to shorten treatment duration while improving patient comfort. Injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) has been proposed to enhance orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by stimulating bone remodeling. This study evaluates the effect of i-PRF on space closure rates, anchor loss, and salivary biomarkers (ALP, AST, and LDH) during orthodontic retraction.

Materials and Methods: Twenty-four participants requiring extractions and space closure were divided into two groups (n = 12 each). Group A (experimental) received i-PRF, while Group B (control) did not. Space closure, anchor loss, and salivary enzyme activity were measured at T0 (baseline), T1 (3 weeks), T2 (6 …

Development Of A Streptococcus Mutans Biofilm Model On A Typodont Platform To Investigate Its Dynamics In Orthodontics, Hibah Chughtai

Theses & Dissertations

Introduction: Biofilm formation plays a significant role in dental health, resulting in plaque accumulation, which can lead to caries and oral diseases. Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is a key bacterium involved in this process. The goal of this study was to establish a protocol for the development of an S. mutans biofilm on dental typodont teeth to analyze the effects of orthodontic brackets on biofilm formation. Understanding these dynamics is critical for developing strategies to mitigate biofilm accumulation during orthodontic treatment. Methods: S. mutans biofilms were cultivated under three conditions: 96-well tissue culture plates, S. mutans inoculated non-bracketed …

Journal of Dentistry Indonesia

Objective: This study determined the effects of vibrational forces on bone formation in the retention period of an expanded mid-palatal, histomorphometric suture in a rat model. Methods: Twenty-four 7–8- to 8-week-old male Wistar rats weighing 190.25 ± 15.35 g were separated into groups: only expansion (G1), expansion and 30 Hz vibration application (G2), and expansion and 111 Hz vibration application (G3). After 5 days of expansion, there were 12 days of retention. All animals were sacrificed, and their premaxilla were dissected. A histological examination evaluated the number of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and capillaries, the amount of mineralized area, and …
