Treatment of Enamel Demineralization Following Orthodontic Therapy
… finding on teeth in patients who have received orthodontic treatment. Recently, a calciumphosphate (Ca-P) treatment was developed to enhance remineralization of white spot lesions. We hypothesized that a rinse containing the Ca-P would promote greater remineralization of demineralized enamel in …

Clinical and radiographic observation of the periodontium in patients undergoing orthodontic therapy: first twenty-seven months
… 12-14 years of age were selected prior to active orthodontic therapy at Boston University School of Graduate Dentistry's Departmant of Orthodontics. These patients were projected to undergo full-banded orthodontic treatnent. The objective of this investigation was designed as a long tenn project …

Evaluation of Alveolar and Soft Tissue Changes after Muscular Release Surgery in Patients Undergoing Fixed Orthodontic Therapy
… changes in patients undergoing fixed orthodontic therapy who have had muscular release surgery. The alveolar and soft tissue changes in the mandible of 128 subjects from a private practice in Northern Italy (74 females and 54 males) were analyzed. In addition, comparisons were made of …

The Effect of Corticision on The Rate of Orthodontic Tooth Movement in Rats
<p>Minimal treatment time is a primary goal for orthodontic therapy. Reducing treatment time decreases risk of caries, periodontal disease, root resorption, and increases patient satisfaction. Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is a result of bone resorption and apposition; factors influencing the …

The Prevalence of the Need for Esthetic Crown Lengthening in Post Orthodontically Treated Subjects
… on excessive gingival display in post-orthodontic patients is limited. By studying one aspect, namely the size relationship of the clinical crowns of teeth, in an orthodontic population, we can begin to quantify their need for periodontal plastic surgery. In this two part study, 200 …

Oropharyngeal Airway Volume Following Orthodontic Treatment: Premolar Extraction Versus Non-Extraction
<p>Orthodontic correction of tooth size versus arch size discrepancy (TSASD) can be achieved with two distinct methods of treatment. The first involves the extraction of teeth to gain the space needed for tooth alignment. The second relies on arch expansion to gain the space needed for correction. …

Treatment Effects of the Mandibular Anterior Repositioning Appliance (MARA) and Conventional Orthodontic Mechanics on Temporomandibular Joint Morphology: A Comparison Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
<p>Introduction: An ongoing debate exists in orthodontics about the amount of condylefossa remodeling and growth seen in Class II patients using functional appliance therapy. Some clinicians and researchers have found that that the use of functional appliances increases the amount of condylar …

Clear aligner attachment removal techniques – an in vitro comparison of removal time residual composite, enamel surface characteristics, enamel loss, and material cost
… Introduction: At the completion of traditional orthodontic therapy, the brackets and residual adhesive must be removed. The adhesive removal is not only a time-consuming procedure but can also produce iatrogenic effects to the enamel. Bracket adhesive removal has been thoroughly studied in the …
