Treatment outcome and efficacy of an aligner technique – regarding incisor torque, premolar derotation and molar distalization

Incisor torque, premolar derotation and molar distalization can be performed using Invisalign® aligners and the staging and the total amount of planned movement have a significant impact on treatment efficacy.

Surface roughness of orthodontic wires via atomic force microscopy, laser specular reflectance, and profilometry.

Using the non-destructive techniques of atomic force microscopy (AFM) and of laser specular reflectance, the surface roughness of 11 nickel-titanium orthodontic wires, a stainless steel and a beta-Titanium wire was measured.

Application of Bone Remodeling Theories in the Simulation of Orthodontic Tooth Movements

The model simulating the bone remodeling on the basis of the loading of the periodontal ligament delivers results that are in very good accordance with the biomechanical assumptions of the position of the center of resistance, however, the results are strongly dependent on the model assumptions.

The Frictional Behavior of Coated Guiding Archwires

An unequivocal correlation between the surface roughness and frictional forces of the wires could not be verified by scanning electron microscopy and indicated that all coatings can reduce frictional losses compared with an uncoated reference wire by the same manufacturer.

Determination of the centre of resistance in an upper human canine and idealized tooth model.

The purpose of this investigation was to analyse the influence of geometric and material parameters of a human canine on initial tooth mobility, and the stress and strain profiles in the periodontal ligament, and results differed significantly showing that it is very difficult to achieve a pure translation with the realistic canine model.

Torque expression of self-ligating brackets compared with conventional metallic, ceramic, and plastic brackets.

The ceramic bracket (Fascination 2) presented the highest torquing moment and, together with a SS bracket, the lowest torque loss (4.6 degrees), and self-ligating, polycarbonate, and selective metallic brackets demonstrated almost a 7-fold decreased moment developed during insertion of a 0.019 x 0.022-inch slot and a 100 per cent increase in loss.
