Abstract:

Background:

The purpose of the study is to qualitatively evaluate the ultramorphology, surface roughness, and clinical manifestations on dental health after various stripping, polishing, and postpolishing enamel protection methods which were followed by various researchers to sum up the more pragmatic and less pragmatic results through the research methodology of content analysis.

Objectives:

To qualitatively and inductively evaluate various stripping, polishing, and postpolishing enamel protection methods on ultramorphology and enamel surface roughness along with its clinical effects on dental health after thorough content analysis to provide a sound knowledge to the clinician to justify their decisions related to interproximal reduction (IPR), to make it an extremely useful space gaining tool if used with due caution.

Materials and Methods:

A comprehensive search of articles related to this study was collected from the past 25 years and a conceptual type of content analysis of all the selected articles was done. Inferences obtained through the analysis of the documented research data were then summed up in tabular form.

Results:

The results summated to the very important fact that all stripping methods microscopically leave a roughened enamel surface but clinically have no deleterious effects on dental health if performed judiciously followed by appropriate polishing and postpolishing protection methods.

Conclusion:

It can be determined that IPR should be carried out with greatest caution when using coarser stripping devices followed by prolonged polishing, but cautious use of finer stripping devices could be a better choice along with suitable polishing and protection methods.

Abstract:

Complex malformations manifest in jaws which pose a challenge to diagnose the malocclusion for its management. A thorough three-dimensional assessment of the dentofacial skeleton is necessary to identify the underlying malocclusion. Although there are numerous methods to investigate the same, recording in a way to easily register, communicate and replicate is not much worked upon. This article tries to introduce a simple tool to record maxillamandibular malformations.

Abstract

The main reason to seek Orthodontic treatment is esthetics. Black triangles after lower incisor extraction are one of the commonly occurring malocclusion which causes esthetic compromises. Relapse is unavoidable while treating such cases. This relapse can be controlled only when there is translatory root movement in the mesial direction. Very little literature is available for the correction of black triangles. In this article, a spring is fabricated by using 0.018 A J Wilcock stainless steel special plus wire containing three helices. This Trihelical spring is a simple, effective, esthetic, and biologically compatible device with excellent root control for the treatment of root divergence.

Abstract

Bimaxillary protrusion (BP) is one of the most prevalent dentofacial deformities in the Asian population. Facial esthetics is the primary concern of these patients. Typical orthodontic treatment includes retraction of maxillary and mandibular incisors after extraction of the four first premolars, but this might not yield desired esthetic changes in the patient. Thus, orthognathic surgery such as anterior subapical osteotomies and extraction of premolars can be looked upon as an option to correct sagittal excess of the jaw bones and associated dental anomalies. This case report describes the treatment of a middle-aged woman with complaints of lip protrusion and unfavorable esthetics due to present malocclusion with the help of anterior maxillary and mandibular osteotomy procedure which provides a stable and viable treatment option for desired esthetic results.

The prevalence of impacted maxillary canines is 2%–3%. The position of the canine germ should be evaluated between 9 and 11 years of age group. In addition to the clinical examination, radiographic evaluation of the canine site will aid in gathering additional data such as the position of the canine, its relationship with the adjacent teeth, and any oral pathology associated with the site. It becomes imperative to have an early diagnosis of the ectopically positioned canine. Orthodontic considerations which include orthodontic traction for the malpositioned canine tooth along with surgical exposure assume significance, if the permanent canine is deviating from its normal eruption pathway trajectory within its specified timeline of erupting into the dental arch. The objective of reporting the following two cases is to analyze a successful 1-year follow-up outcome of an interdisciplinary, evidence-based approach in managing impacted canines in two female patients in their second decades of life.

This study aimed to report a case of skeletal Class I adult with anterior open and transposed upper canines with premolars and lower right canine transposed with lateral incisor, retained upper deciduous C, B, and lower right C. With congenital missing upper right lateral incisor, upper spacing arch, and lower mild crowding arch, a patient complains about her smile esthetic. The case was treated using temporary anchorage devices and three-dimensional retraction loops designed primarily for upper canine transposition with an accepted esthetic reshaping of lower canine using composite restoration. The missing lateral had been implanted with smile makeover using microesthetic post-orthodontic treatment. After 16 months of treatment, it was possible to see a significant improvement of the patient's facial profile, with overcorrection in overjet and preservation of the tissues and integrity of dental roots.

Introduction: The gonial angle plays to be one of the significant indicators for the diagnosis of growth pattern of orthodontic patients. It is a known fact that lateral cephalograms are commonly used for the measurement of gonial angle, but panoramic radiographs (PRs) can display both the gonial angles simultaneously and as accurately as lateral cephalograms. The aim of this study is to develop an equation for the prediction of the skeletal pattern of nongrowing participants from gonial angle values on PR.

Materials and Methods: PRs and lateral cephalograms of 75 orthodontic patients were selected. The gonial angle was measured on PR and Sella Nasion-mandibular plane (SN-MP) angle was measured on lateral cephalograms. The values obtained were analyzed using paired Pearson's correlation test and regression analysis was done.

Results: The relationship between the gonial angle measurements obtained from each radiograph was represented as, “SN-MP angle (Skeletal pattern) = −44.297 + 0.6318 × Gonial angle (PR) in the linear function.”

Conclusion: Hence, PR could be used to determine the gonial angle as accurately as a lateral cephalogram and a useful tool for examining the skeletal pattern of patients.
