Effect of antibacterial monomer-containing adhesive on enamel demineralization around orthodontic brackets: An in-vivo study

TANCAN UYSAL

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

Dental and Alveolar Arch Widths in Normal Occlusion, Class II division 1 and Class II division 2

TANCAN UYSAL

The aim of this study was to compare the transverse dimensions of the dental arches and alveolar arches in the canine, premolar, and molar regions of Class II division 1 and Class II division 2 malocclusion groups with normal occlusion subjects. This study was performed using measurements on dental casts of 150 normal occlusion (mean age: 21.6 6 2.6 years), 106 Class II division 1 (mean age: 17.2 6 2.4 years), and 108 Class II division 2 (mean age: 18.5 6 2.9 years) malocclusion subjects. Independent-samples t-test was applied for comparisons of the groups. These findings indicate that t ...Daha fazlası
