Introduction: The aims of this study were to evaluate the effect of an antibacterial monomer-containing selfetching
adhesive in reducing enamel demineralization around orthodontic brackets in vivo and to compare it
with the conventional adhesive system quantitatively. Methods: Fourteen orthodontic patients were randomly
divided into 2 equal groups; they received brackets fitted to all their teeth, bonded with either Clearfil Protect
Bond (Kuraray Medical, Okayama, Japan) (experimental group) or Transbond XT (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif)
(control group). Block randomization to obtain equal ...Daha fazlası
Objective: To identify the effect of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) procedure on dynamic
measurement of natural head position (NHP).
Materials and Methods: The treatment group comprised 23 patients, 12 girls and 11 boys (mean
age: 10.1 6 1.1 years), and the control group comprised 15 subjects, 8 girls and 7 boys (mean age:
9.7 6 1.4 years). The test subjects underwent RME treatment using full cap acrylic device, and the
mean amount of expansion was 5.48 mm. An inclinometer and a portable data logger were used to
collect the NHP data. Intragroup changes were evaluated by using nonparamet ...Daha fazlası
Objective –The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of local resveratrol
(RSVL) administration on bone formation in response to expansion of the interpremaxillary
suture, in rats.
Material and Methods – Twenty 50- to 60-day-old male Wistar rats were separated
into two equal groups. Both groups were subjected to expansion, and 30 cN of force
was applied to the maxillary incisors with helical-spring. Twenty-four hours after
appliance placement, single-dose 10 lmol ⁄ kg RSVL in the dimethylsulfoxide
(DMSO) was injected to the inter-premaxillary suture in the experimental group. In ...Daha fazlası
The aim of this follow-up study was to evaluate the effects of Pre-Orthodontic Trainer (POT) appliance on the anterior temporal, mental, orbicularis oris, and masseter muscles through electromyography (EMG) evaluations in subjects with Class II division 1 malocclusion and incompetent lips. Twenty patients (mean age: 9.8 ± 2.2 years) with a Class II division 1 malocclusion were treated with POT (Myofunctional Research Co., Queensland, Australia). A group of 15 subjects (mean age: 9.2 ± 0.9 years) with untreated Class II division 1 malocclusions was used as a control. EMG recordings of treatment ...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.

To evaluate the shear bond strength (SBS), fracture mode, wire pull out (WPO) resistance and microleakage between low-shrinking and conventional composites used as a lingual retainer adhesive. Methods: A total of 120 human mandibular incisor teeth, extracted for periodontal reasons, were collected. Sixty of them were separated into two groups. To determine the SBS, either Transbond-LR (3M-Unitek) or Silorane (3M-Espe) was applied to the lingual surface of the teeth by packing the material into standard cylindrical plastic matrices (Ultradent) to simulate the lingual retainer bonding area. To t ...Daha fazlası
