Objective: To evaluate and compare the effects of enamel microabrasion, casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP), and their combination on the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded to demineralized enamel surface.
Materials and Methods: One hundred human first premolar teeth were randomly allocated to one of five groups. Group I was considered as the control of other groups. For the remaining groups, demineralization was performed via solutions. In group II, brackets were directly bonded to the demineralized enamel surface. CPP-ACP was applied in group ...Daha fazlası
Objective: To evaluate the root resorption after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) via cone-beam
computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials and Methods: Records of 25 patients who had undergone RME with tooth-borne
banded expander were obtained from the archive of the orthodontic department. CBCT data were
reconstructed with surface and volume rendering, and the volumetric images were manipulated to
display the root surfaces from various orientations. On these three-dimensional images, permanent
first molars and first and second premolars were segmented, and their roots were isolated.

Objective
We evaluated the detachment force, amount of deformation, fracture mode, and pull-out force of 3 different wires used for bonded lingual retainer fabrication.
Methods
We tested 0.0215-inch five-stranded wire (PentaOne, Masel; group I), 0.016 × 0.022-inch dead-soft eight-braided wire (Bond-A-Braid, Reliance; group II), and 0.0195-inch dead-soft coaxial wire (Respond, Ormco; group III). To test detachment force, deformation, and fracture mode, we embedded 94 lower incisor teeth in acrylic blocks in pairs. Retainer wires were bonded to the teeth and vertically directed force was ap ...Daha fazlası
Objective: To evaluate the changes in cortical bone thickness, alveolar bone
height, and the incidence of dehiscence and fenestration in the surrounding
alveolar bone of posterior teeth after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) treatment
using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: The CBCT records of
20 subjects (9 boys, mean age: 13.97 ± 1.17 years; 11 girls, mean age: 13.53 ±
2.12 year) that underwent RME were selected from the archives. CBCT scans had
been taken before (T1) and after (T2) the RME. Moreover, 10 of the subjects had
6-month retention (T3) records. We used th ...Daha fazlası
Objective: To evaluate lower incisor position and bony support between
patients with Class II average- and high-angle malocclusions and compare
with the patients presenting Class I malocclusions. Methods: CBCT records of
79 patients were divided into 2 groups according to sagittal jaw relationships:
Class I and II. Each group was further divided into average- and high-angle
subgroups. Six angular and 6 linear measurements were performed. Independent
samples t-test, Kruskal–Wallis, and Dunn post-hoc tests were performed for
statistical comparisons. Results: Labial alveolar bone th ...Daha fazlası
