Somatosensory, inflammatory and pain evaluation during orthodontic treatment

Experimental tooth movement has been shown to induce inflammation and release of chemical mediators. Inflammation can also alter nerve function that can be measured with Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST). Various authors have studied orthodontic pain and the different factors that modify it. But, to our...

Effect of low level laser therapy on local bone resorption during orthodontic treatment: a randomized controlled trial

The aim of this study was to assess whether the application of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) during the first stage of orthodontic treatment has an effect on local bone resorption and is detectable at the systemic level by measuring deoxypyridinoline levels (Pyrilinks) in urine. This was a randomized (1...

Verticalización de molares: una revisión de casos clínicos de los diferentes métodos utilizados

Rev. cient. odontol; 4 (2), 2016
Uno de los desafíos que enfrenta el ortodoncista es la mecánica de verticalización de molares, ya sea por la pérdida prematura de piezas posteriores, impactación de segundas, o terceras molares que servirían para reemplazar a sus antecesores. Existen diferentes estudios que muestran distintas forma...

Maxillary dentoalveolar assessment following retraction of maxillary incisors: a preliminary study

ABSTRACT Objective: The aim of this preliminary study was to assess changes in tooth length and alveolar thickness following retraction of maxillary incisors. Methods: A total of 11 patients presenting severe maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion revealed by initial (T1) cone-beam computed tomography (C...

Curve of spee: a literature review

The curve of Spee (COS) is an important characteristic of the dental arch that was described as an occlusal curvature seen in the sagittal plane. This natural phenomenon has clinical importance in orthodontics and restorative dentistry. This study aim to gather the current knowledge of COS in order to be...

Class II malocclusion associated with mandibular deficiency and maxillary and mandibular crowding: follow-up evaluation eight years after treatment completion

ABSTRACT This report describes the correction of a clinical case of malocclusion with anteroposterior discrepancy and transverse, sagittal and vertical deficiencies. A nonextraction technique was used to preserve space in the dental arches and control facial growth for the correction of the sagittal skel...
