Bud MG, Pop OD, Cîmpean S. Benefits of using magnification in dental specialties - a narrative review. Med Pharm Rep 2023; 96:254-257. [PMID: 37577013 PMCID: PMC10419684 DOI: 10.15386/mpr-2556] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2022] [Revised: 09/03/2022] [Accepted: 08/04/2022] [Indexed: 08/15/2023] Open
Abstract
An increased number of clinicians are using magnification to facilitate their vision when carrying out dental examinations and treatments. The best instrument for this purpose is the microscope, which has proven to enhance quality, longevity and outcome of clinical work. Its use in some dental specialties (such as endodontics) is now well established, but there is also a role for this equipment in other branches of dentistry. To anticipate the contribution of magnification to dentistry in general, recent research and experimental data on the importance of magnification devices will be considered, from the perspectives of optical issues, diagnosing methods and treatment options. It will be shown that, while the microscope is vital to certain specialties (such as endodontics, periodontics, restorative dentistry and prosthodontics), it has little effect on others (orthodontics, for example). This synthesis of current researchattempts to shed light on the optimal magnification used in certain clinical situations, the distinctive benefits of loupes and microscopes for each dental branch, as well as their drawbacks.

Introducing and assessing the efficacy of a novel method to reduce enamel damage after orthodontic bracket removal using two herbal-based resin colouring agents: An in vitro study. Int Orthod 2023; 21:100744. [PMID: 36857845 DOI: 10.1016/j.ortho.2023.100744] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/09/2022] [Revised: 01/16/2023] [Accepted: 02/05/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE The differentiation of resin remnants from enamel is a critical factor to minimize enamel damage after bracket debonding. This study was conducted to produce, and ascertain the efficacy of two colouring agents in minimizing enamel loss, adhesive and bonding remnants, and surface roughness after debonding. METHODS Two dyes containing annatto (orange colour) and curcumin (yellow colour) were produced. Seventy-two maxillary premolars were divided into three groups. After bracket bonding and debonding, the adhesive remnant was removed with a fine diamond bur. In groups 1 and 2, the orange and yellow dyes were utilized during the removal process, respectively. In group 3 (control) adhesive was removed with no colouring agent. The buccolingual dimension of the teeth was measured at the occlusal, middle, and apical areas, before bonding and after clean-up. The adhesive remnant index (ARI) and bonding remnant index (BRI) scores were recorded and the surface roughness parameters were measured. Data were analysed by ANOVA, Tukey, and Fisher's exact tests (α=0.05). RESULTS Enamel loss was significantly lower in the groups cleaned by the use of colouring agents than that of the control group (P<0.05). No bonding agent was observed when the dyes were used, whereas 65% of teeth in the control group showed the remaining bonding material (P<0.001). There was no significant difference in ARI scores or surface roughness alterations among the study groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSION The two dyes produced in this study were effective in enhancing the visibility of residual resin materials and minimizing enamel loss during the clean-up process.

Bond Strength Survival of a Novel Calcium Phosphate-Enriched Orthodontic Self-Etching System after Various Ageing Protocols: An In Vitro Study. Int J Dent 2022; 2022:3960362. [PMID: 36624858 PMCID: PMC9825208 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3960362] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2022] [Revised: 12/07/2022] [Accepted: 12/25/2022] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to evaluate the orthodontic bond strength and enamel-preserving ability of a hydroxyapatite nanoparticles-containingself-etch system following exposure to various ageing methods. Materials and Methods Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHAp) were incorporated into an orthodontic self-etch primer (SEP, Transbond™ plus) in three different concentrations (5%, 7%, and 9% wt) and tested versus the plain SEP (control) for shear bond strength (SBS), adhesive remnant index (ARI) scores, and enamel damage in range-finding experiments using premolar teeth. The best-performing formulation was further exposed to the following four artificial ageing methods: initial debonding, 24 h water storage, one-month water storage, and one-month acid challenge. A field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) was used to examine the integrity of debonded enamel surfaces and calcium-phosphates (CaPs) reprecipitation. Results The best-performing formulation (7% nHAp-SEP) resulted in significantly lower SBS (p < 0.001) than the control SEP following the four artificial ageing methods. Nevertheless, it survived the ageing protocols and yielded clinically acceptable SBS with the advantages of leaving minimal adhesive residue, preserving enamel integrity and smoothness, and inducing CaP reprecipitation as confirmed by FE-SEM images. Conclusions A newly developed SEP produced adequate orthodontic bond strengths and left unblemished debonded enamel surfaces with minimal remnant adhesive and remineralisation potential, thereby suggesting simpler and safer bonding/debonding procedures.

Fluorescence-Aided Identification Technique (FIT) Improves Tooth Surface Clean-Up after Debonding of Buccal and Lingual Orthodontic Appliances. J Clin Med 2021; 11:jcm11010213.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of fluorescence inducing light to aid the clean-up of tooth surfaces after bracket removal when using buccal or lingual orthodontic appliances. Two full sets of dental arches using extracted human teeth were assembled, with 14 teeth per arch. All teeth were bonded on their buccal and lingual surfaces. After debonding, a single blinded operator performed the tooth surface clean-up, as commonly performed in clinical practice; without the use of fluorescent light (non-FIT) and with two methods using fluorescent light to identify composite remnants on the tooth surfaces (FIT; OPAL and BRACE). Tooth surfaces were scanned before bonding and after clean-up, and the two scans were superimposed using the best-fit method. The results showed that the debonding method, type of tooth and type of tooth surface had a significant effect on the presence of composite remnants, enamel defects, and on debonding time. Contrary to the non-FIT method, there were no composite remnants after clean-up with the use of fluorescence inducing light. Clean-up time was significantly reduced on the buccal surfaces when using the FIT methods. On the lingual surfaces, the FIT methods resulted in larger enamel defects.

Vertical and Orovestibular Forces Generated by Beta-Titanium and Stainless-Steel Rectangular Wires in Labial and Fully Customized Lingual Bracket Systems. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2021; 14:5632.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the force values exerted from rectangular wires when combined with conventional labial and fully customized lingual appliances under predefined, idealized activation. Fully customized lingual brackets of two brands Incognito™ (3M Unitek, Monrovia, CA, USA) and WIN (DW Lingual Systems, Bad Essen, Germany) and labial brackets of another brand, discovery® MIM and discovery® smart systems (Dentaurum, Ispringen, Germany), were chosen. Stainless-steel and beta-titanium wires of 0.018" × 0.025" were examined. For IncognitoTM, 0.0182" × 0.025" beta-titanium wires were tested. Intrusion/extrusion and orovestibular movements were performed in a range of 0.2 mm, and the forces were recorded for each 0.1 mm of the movement. Mean values and standard deviations were calculated for all measurements, and ANOVA was performed for statistical analysis. Slight differences were observed between the forces generated from beta-titanium and stainless-steel wires. The same wire generated in some cases 5-53% higher forces with the lingual appliance due to the vertical orientation of the long walls during intrusion/extrusion and increased wire stiffness at the anterior region. Beta-titanium and stainless-steel 0.018" × 0.025" wires can generate similar force values during the final stages of the orthodontic therapy; thus, possibly only one of the two alloys could be used in each orthodontic wire sequence.

Efficient Design of a Clear Aligner Attachment to Induce Bodily Tooth Movement in Orthodontic Treatment Using Finite Element Analysis. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14174926. [PMID: 34501017 PMCID: PMC8433704 DOI: 10.3390/ma14174926] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2021] [Revised: 08/27/2021] [Accepted: 08/27/2021] [Indexed: 01/31/2023]
Abstract
Clear aligner technology has become the preferred choice of orthodontic treatment for malocclusions for most adult patients due to their esthetic appeal and comfortability. However, limitations exist for aligner technology, such as corrections involving complex force systems. Composite attachments on the tooth surface are intended to enable active control of tooth movements. However, unintended tooth movements still occur. In this study, we present an effective attachment design of an attachment that can efficiently induce tooth movement by comparing and analyzing the movement and rotation of teeth between a general attachment and an overhanging attachment. The 3D finite element modes were constructed from CBCT data and used to analyze the distal displacement of the central incisor using 0.5- and 0.75-mm-thick aligners without an attachment, and with general and overhanging attachments. The results show that the aligner with the overhanging attachment can effectively reduce crown tipping and prevent axial rotation for an intended distal displacement of the central incisor. In all models, an aligner with or without attachments was not capable of preventing the lingual inclination of the tooth.

Abstract
Background: The polishing of surface roughness is an important characteristic of composite resins and is directly related to the longevity of the restoration and patient comfort. Different polishing systems utilize different protocols, as reported in the literature. This systematic review (SR) aimed to synthesize and analyze the available scientific evidence about the effect of polishing systems on the surface roughness of nano-hybrid and nano-filling composite resins. Methods: The study protocol of this SR was registered at the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews -PROSPERO- (CRD4201705653). A search was conducted in PubMed-Medline, Scopus, LILACS, EMBASE, for the period 2007–2020. Quality appraisal and a descriptive analysis of the papers that met the inclusion criteria were conducted. Results: 18 records were included. Seven polishing systems (PS) of one step were found, seven PS of two steps, eight PS of three steps, three PS of four steps, and four PS of five steps. Polishing protocols (PP) varied, with application times ranging from 10 s to 60 s with speeds between 10,000 and 30,000 RPM. Regarding composition, the aluminum oxide was one of the most important components used to achieve a smooth surface. Conclusions: Multistep polishing systems were the most effective (i.e., Astropol and Sof-Lex Discs).

Comparative Analysis of Stress in the Periodontal Ligament and Center of Rotation in the Tooth after Orthodontic Treatment Depending on Clear Aligner Thickness-Finite Element Analysis Study. MATERIALS 2021; 14:ma14020324. [PMID: 33435457 PMCID: PMC7826543 DOI: 10.3390/ma14020324] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2020] [Revised: 01/05/2021] [Accepted: 01/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
Lately, in orthodontic treatments, the use of transparent aligners for the correction of malocclusions has become prominent owing to their intrinsic advantages such as esthetics, comfort, and minimal maintenance. Attempts at improving upon this technology by varying various parameters to investigate the effects on treatments have been carried out by several researchers. Here, we aimed to investigate the biomechanical and clinical effects of aligner thickness on stress distributions in the periodontal ligament and changes in the tooth's center of rotation. Dental finite element models comprising the cortical and cancellous bones, gingiva, teeth, and nonlinear viscoelastic periodontal ligaments were constructed, validated, and used together with aligner finite element models of different aligner thicknesses to achieve the goal of this study. The finite element analyses were conducted to simulate the actual orthodontic aligner treatment process for the correction of malocclusions by generating pre-stresses in the aligner and allowing the aligner stresses to relax to induce tooth movement. The results of the analyses showed that orthodontic treatment in lingual inclination and axial rotation with a 0.75 mm-thick aligner resulted in 6% and 0.03% higher principal stresses in the periodontal ligament than the same treatment using a 0.05 mm-thick aligner, respectively. Again, for both aligner thicknesses, the tooth's center of rotation moved lingually and towards the root direction in lingual inclination, and diagonally from the long axis of the tooth in axial rotation. Taken together, orthodontic treatment for simple malocclusions using transparent aligners of different thicknesses will produce a similar effect on the principal stresses in the periodontal ligament and similar changes in the tooth's center of rotation, as well as sufficient tooth movement. These findings provide orthodontists and researchers clinical and biomechanical evidence about the effect of transparent aligner thickness selection and its effect on orthodontic treatment.
