This book was released on 2013 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marketing strategies for self-ligating brackets have focused on less need for extractions and faster treatment. Recent meta-analyses have not found these claims to be well supported, but they point out limitations of the current evidence. These meta-analyses also conclude that additional, well-designed studies are indicated to improve our evidence base. The purpose of this retrospective cohort study is to assess the effects and efficiency of treatment with self-ligating brackets compared to conventional brackets. A secondary purpose is to identify any pretreatment malocclusion characteristics associated with choice of either self-ligating or conventional brackets. Patients treated in the private offices of two practitioners who simultaneously used both self-ligating and conventional brackets were selected for this study. The self-ligating subjects were selected first, and for each subject, an age and gender matched subject was chosen from the respective office. The self-ligation subjects were consecutively treated adolescents and young adults (11-25 years-old) who completed comprehensive fixed appliance therapy between January 1, 2011 and April 31, 2012. Patients with craniofacial anomalies, surgical treatment, treatment with arch expansion using expanders, interdisciplinary treatment, and incomplete records were excluded. The outcome measures were changes in the intercanine width, intermolar width, and arch length for both arches, change in mandibular incisor inclination, final PAR score, percent PAR reduction, overall treatment time, total number of visits, number of emergencies, number of broken brackets, and other emergencies such as a wire sliding to one side or the loss of ligation. All measurements were performed on digital models or digital lateral cephalograms in a blinded manner. PAR scores were measured by two calibrated assessors and the average of the two scores were used. Data were analyzed using the independent sample t-test, chi-square or fisher exact test and linear regression analysis. The final sample comprised 74 patients from Clinician 1, and 34 patients from Clinician 2. The two clinicians exhibited significant differences in treatment duration, as well as in treatment strategies, such as the use of the SureSmile technique. Therefore, the decision was made not to pool the data from the two offices. For Clinician 1, no significant differences were observed between self-ligating and conventional brackets for the outcomes described above, other than increased arch length in both arches in the self-ligating group. The self-ligation patients treated by Clinician 2 demonstrated a significant increase in transverse dimension, less percent reduction in PAR score, less treatment time, fewer visits, and more wire sliding emergencies compared to the conventional bracket group. While some significant findings were observed, the small sample and lack of consistent findings between the two clinicians makes it difficult to draw strong conclusions.

Burton and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study evaluates the anterior-posterior dental control of orthodontic patients treated with the Damon2 passive self-ligating bracket system. These patients were compared to patients treated with a conventional twin .022 (MBT prescription) bracket system. The Damon2 group (n=30) and the MBT group (n=33) consisted of patients who presented with mild to moderate dental crowding (measured by irregularity index). All patients had full complements of teeth, first molar to first molar, in both maxillary and mandibular arches. They were skeletal and dental Class I and all were orthodontically treated non-extraction. The measurements collected were U1-SN angle, Interincisal angle, IMPA and SN-GoGn. Measurements were taken from pre and post treatment lateral cephalometric head films. Measurements were repeated and paired samples t-tests were used to compare consistency of repeated measures. The t-test was used to compare the treatment change for the above measurements and also to compare the post-treatment results for the measurements. The IMPA treatment changes was also tested for high and low MPA patients in the two treatment groups. Data indicates that there was no significant difference between the two bracket systems with regard to treatment changes for incisor position. A comparison of the post-treatment measurements also shows no significant difference. Finally, no difference was found between the bracket systems for treatment of high and low MPA patients.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Introduction: Self ligating brackets (SLB) manufacturers claim that expansion of arches and alveolar bone building is facilitated by their bracket design. The objective of this study was to determine whether SLB brackets have a different effect on buccal bone changes compared with conventional brackets (NSLB) during orthodontic treatment. Methods: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were obtained before and after treatment of 45 patients (26 treated with conventional brackets (NSLB) and 19 with SLB). The CBCT images were compared between groups for buccal bone height and thickness at the maxillary first molars, maxillary second and first premolars using imaging software. The intermolar distance and buccolingual angulation were assessed for the maxillary first molars as potentially confounding factors. Differences for each variable measured before and after treatment were compared between the two groups. Results: Initial and final thickness and height of buccal bone were significantly different between the teeth (p 0.001). The buccal bone height (p 0.001) and thickness (p= 0.018) significantly decreased after treatment for both groups. The mean changes of buccal bone height and thickness measured were not significantly different between SLB and NSLB groups (p0.05). The intermolar distance and molar angulation changes were not significantly different between the 2 groups (p0.05). The change in bone height depended on the initial bone thickness where the greater the initial bone thickness, the less the decrease in bone height (p
Download or read book Characterization of the Oral Microbiome in Orthodontic Patients written by Edward Viloria and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are approximately 700 bacterial species present in the oral cavity that exist in a complex, delicately balanced ecosystem. Orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances has been shown to disrupt this balance leading to an increased risk of white spot lesions, caries and periodontal disease. With the advent of clear aligners, orthodontic patients are now able to remove their appliances and perform oral hygiene more efficiently. Previous studies have examined the effects of fixed and removable orthodontic appliances on periodontal health with varying results. We examined patients at the UCLA Orthodontics Clinic with fixed appliances (n=12) and clear aligners (n=12) through the first six months of treatment. Periodontal status was evaluated using the Turesky et al. Modified Quigley-Hein Plaque Index (PI) and the L e and Silness Gingival Index (GI). Plaque was collected from anterior teeth, posterior teeth and from the inner surface of the clear aligner trays. DNA from the plaque samples was extracted and subjected to next generation sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. There was a significant increase in PI and GI in the fixed appliance group over the first six months of treatment. In the clear aligner group, there was no significant increase in PI, but there was a significant, yet transient increase in GI that eventually returned to baseline levels. Distinct, patient-specific shifts in the microbial communities were observed in both groups upon starting treatment. The microbial community inside the clear aligners is unique and less diverse than those found on teeth, but the overall composition of tooth-associated biofilm was similar between both groups. Patients treated with fixed appliances experienced significantly more plaque accumulation on the surfaces of the teeth compared to patients treated with clear aligners. This increase in plaque accumulation in the fixed appliance group was associated with a significant increase in gingival inflammation, which was localized to the posterior teeth. The inner surfaces of the clear aligner trays harbor a unique microbial community that is less diverse than those found in tooth-associated biofilms.
