Disease relevance of Orthodontic Appliances

• This study aimed to investigate two dose regimens of xylitol-containing tablets on the ecology of dental plaque and saliva during treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances [1].
• In conclusion, the present study did not reveal any beneficial cffects of the triclosan-containing gel regimen on mild gingivitis in adolescents with fixed orthodontic appliances [2].
• The aim of the present study was to assess the efficiency of a 1% chlorhexidine-containing varnish (Cervitec, Vivadent, Liechtenstein) on the levels of Streptococcus mutans in saliva of patients with fixed orthodontic appliances using the Dentocult-SM (Vivadent, Liechtenstein) technique for the microbiological investigation [3].

High impact information on Orthodontic Appliances

• The study indicates that chlorhexidine varnish therapy was acceptable to the children and was effective in suppressing oral mutans streptococcal levels for long periods, even when used prior to the placement of fixed orthodontic appliances [4].
• In fissures and around orthodontic appliances, conventional fluoride agents appear to have only a small effect [5].
• Bovine enamel chips, coated with streptococci, mounted on modified orthodontic appliances and placed in the mouths of three volunteers, facilitated the measurement of interbacterial adherence in vivo of streptomycin-resistant strains of H. parainfluenzae (HP-28R or HP-42R) [6].
• An evaluation of beta titanium alloys for use in orthodontic appliances [7].
• Neither the crude essential oil nor the purified linalool fraction is toxic to mammalian cells, which suggests that the essential oil or its purified components may be useful to control the microbial population in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances [8].

Chemical compound and disease context of Orthodontic Appliances

• The results show that the chlorhexidine-containing varnish effectively reduced the number of SM in dental plaque around fixed orthodontic appliances [9].

Anatomical context of Orthodontic Appliances

• This study aimed to assess mandibular mobility and the prevalence of functional occlusal contacts in subjects treated to a Class 1 incisor relationship by fixed orthodontic appliance therapy [10].
• This procedure is effective for obviating or lessening the long duration of use of orthodontic appliances in the mixed dentition period of 7 to 14 years of hemifacial microsomia [11].
• Effect of a triclosan-containing dental gel on the levels of prostaglandin I2 and interleukin-1beta in gingival crevicular fluid from adolescents with fixed orthodontic appliances [2].
• A fixed orthodontic appliance consisting of closed-coil nickel-titanium springs were ligated between the maxillary incisors and maxillary first molars [12].

Associations of Orthodontic Appliances with chemical compounds

• We assayed the release of metal ions from one orthodontic appliance which included two 304 and 316 steel molar bands, ten 316 steel brackets, one nickel-titanium archwire and a brazing alloy to connect the elements of molar bands and brackets [13].
• Effect of xylitol on mutans streptococci and lactic acid formation in saliva and plaque from adolescents and young adults with fixed orthodontic appliances [1].
• METHODS: The orthodontic appliance was dipped in both inorganic (pH 3.5-6.5) and organic acid solutions (w/v 1% each of tartaric, citric and ascorbic acid at pH 2.2 or 1.5% each of lactic and acetic acid at pH 2.5) [13].
• Treatment includes the use of orthodontic appliances and materials to correct the occlusal relationship [14].
• The effect of xylitol gum and rinses on plaque acidogenesis in patients with fixed orthodontic appliances [15].

Gene context of Orthodontic Appliances

• The MARS appliance is a fixed functional device which is attached to the arch wires of a multibanded orthodontic appliance [16].
• This study confirms that fitting an orthodontic appliance results in plaque accumulation and increased gingival inflammation, and that GCF volume is the most sensitive indicator of that inflammation [17].
• Orthodontic appliances and enamel demineralization. Part 1. Lesion development [18].
• An orthodontic appliance used in management of lingual focal dystonia [19].
• DESIGN: To correct problems affecting craniofacial development of these patients, occurring during puberty, an orthodontic appliance was employed, which helps maintain parallelism of the facial planes, in particular the mandibular plane [20].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Orthodontic Appliances

• Assessing treatment effectiveness of removable and fixed orthodontic appliances with the occlusal index [21].
• To obviate or lessen the long period of use of orthodontic appliances after distraction for hemifacial microsomia in the mixed dentition patients, simultaneous maxillo-mandibular distraction osteogenesis has been performed in 10 patients aged 7 to 12 years with hemifacial microsomia [11].
