Download or read book A Prospective Clinical Study Evaluating the Efficacy of Tooth Movement with Invisalign written by Neal David Kravitz and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction. The purpose of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate the efficacy of tooth movement with Invisalign. Methods. 401 anterior teeth were measured from the virtual models of 37 participants treated with Anterior Invisalign. The virtual model of the predicted-tooth position was superimposed over the virtual model of the achieved-tooth position. Results. The mean accuracy of tooth movement with Invisalign was 41%. The most accurate movement was lingual constriction (47.1%), and the least accurate movement was extrusion (29.6%). The accuracy of canine rotation was significantly lower than the rotation of all other teeth, with the exception of the upper lateral. Lingual crown tip was significantly more accurate than labial crown tip, particularly for the upper central and lateral incisors. Conclusion. We still have much to learn regarding the biomechanics and efficacy of the Invisalign system.
Download or read book Controversies in Clear Aligner Therapy written by Anderson T. Huang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-09 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first evidence-based evaluation of the present limitations and controversies in clear aligner therapy. It discusses problems in software, mechanotherapy, attachment optimization, interceptive treatment, the mandibular advancement appliance, complex movements, interproximal reduction, extraction therapy, deep bite/open bite correction, finishing, and overcorrection. Unlike current available texts on clear aligner therapy, this book features a nonpartisan, critical analysis of the problems of the technique and demonstrates their clinical implications. Unique solutions to the current limitations of clear aligner therapy are presented, and systematic strategies and protocols for addressing a vast range and complexity of malocclusions commonly confronted by practitioners are introduced. The book helps orthodontists, dentists, dental students, dental educators, technicians, and bioengineers to investigate prevailing misconceptions, and to address significant controversies and dilemmas in clear aligner therapy.
Download or read book Treatment Effectiveness of the Invisalign System written by Aileen Sehee Kim and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the investigation was to search the current literature (from April 2005 to December 2012) and determine the effectiveness of orthodontic tooth movement using the Invisalign system. With changes in attachments implemented within the past few years, a more recent appraisal of the available literature is of value. It is expected that this systematic review will provide a more up-to-date understanding of the treatment effects (efficacy in tooth movement and stability) of the Invisalign system. Additionally, an evaluation of the indications and case selection using Invisalign will be conducted A computerized search was conducted using PubMed, Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) Reviews Database (Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews), Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Science Direct, and Thomsen's ISI Web of Science. Inclusion criteria that were to be satisfied by the literature search results were publications in English and human clinical trials. Studies not pertaining to the question of clinical effectiveness of Invisalign were selected for exclusion. Case reports, book chapters, and review papers were considered separately for analysis and contribution to the general information gathering in the systematic review. Book chapters were excluded. Quality assessment was performed on the studies that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The quality and design of the study was considered. Of the studies that passed the quality assessment stage, a thorough evaluation was completed. Summaries of the included articles were prepared and information regarding study design, subjects, treatment times, and outcomes were organized in tabulated form. Appraisal of the included studies was performed using the 2010 CONSORT statement and 2009 ADA Clinical Recommendations Handbook. Overall, of the 271 studies reviewed (Stage I), 23 were selected for further review (Stage II). Ultimately, 10 studies were included in the systematic review (Stage III). In summary, after thorough analysis of the studies, it has been shown that Invisalign is an effective appliance for minor space closure, lingual constriction, and correction of anterior rotations and marginal ridge height discrepancies. However, Invisalign lacks the ability to correct anteroposterior discrepancies, occlusal contacts, extrusion, and rotations greater than 15 degrees. While the achieved and predicted tooth movement discrepancy was very minimal, it was found that overbite must be overcorrected.

Download or read book Evidence Based Orthodontics written by Greg J. Huang and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-03-16 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence-Based Orthodontics satisfies the educational demands of orthodontics, which demands the integration of the best research evidence with the clinician’s expertise and the patient’s unique values and circumstances. This land-mark text is the first to be devoted to the methodology, principles and practice of evidence-based practice in orthodontics. It aims to serve as a reference for those wishing to understand the principles of evidence-based practice including the foundation for clinical study design, epidemiology and the statistical inferences from data. The ability to define a search strategy from established databases and to identify relevant clinical and translational research in the scientific published literature requires a new approach in orthodontic education. Evidence-Based Orthodontics provides a contemporary approach to those strategies in clinical orthodontic practice. The growing ability to translate critical appraisals of evidence into clinical practice and evaluate clinical evidence for its validity and potential usefulness requires an understanding of basic elements in epidemiology and biostatistics. Evidence-Based Orthodontics provides its readers with a cogent, clear resource with which to navigate and understand this important subject area. It provides students and practitioners of orthodontics with an indispensible guide to this vital tenet of education, research, and clinical practice.

Download or read book 3D Diagnosis and Treatment Planning in Orthodontics written by Jean-Marc Retrouvey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book is a wide-ranging guide to modern diagnostics and treatment planning in orthodontics, which are mandatory prior to the initiation of any type of comprehensive treatment. The importance of three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques has been increasingly recognized owing to the shortcomings of conventional two-dimensional imaging in some patients, such as those requiring complex adult treatment and those with temporomandibular joint dysfunctions or sleep disturbances. In the first part of this book, readers will find clear description and illustration of the diagnostic role of the latest 3D imaging techniques, including cone beam computed tomography, intra-oral scanning, and magnetic resonance imaging. The second part explains in detail the application of 3D techniques in treatment planning for orthodontic and orthognathic surgery. Guidance is also provided on the use of image fusion software for the purposes of accurate diagnosis and precise design of the most appropriate biomechanical approach in patients with malocclusions.
