Authors: REG.NO:II0222006
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Mandibular condylar positioning is integral to maintaining occlusal harmony and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) function, particularly in patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion associated with mandibular retrusion. Fixed functional appliances are widely used to stimulate mandibular growth and induce adaptive remodeling of the condyle within the glenoid fossa. Gelb’s grid, a diagnostic tool that segments the cranial base for precise evaluation of condylar positioning, offers a cost-effective and reliable means to assess these changes using lateral cephalograms.2025-01-01T00:00:00ZEffectiveness of low-level laser therapy in accelerating orthoontic tooth movement in maxillary anterior crowding- a randomized control trialREG.NO:II0222005http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/19812025-09-24T07:32:57Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Effectiveness of low-level laser therapy in accelerating orthoontic tooth movement in maxillary anterior crowding- a randomized control trial
Authors: REG.NO:II0222005
Abstract: Introduction: Orthodontic treatment plays a pivotal role in achieving functional and aesthetic dental alignment. However, prolonged treatment duration and associated discomfort remain significant concerns. Recent advancements in non-invasive techniques, particularly low-level laser therapy (LLLT), have shown promise in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). LLLT is believed to enhance cellular activity, stimulate osteoclastic and osteoblastic functions, and reduce treatment time. While previous research has examined LLLT's efficacy, variations in laser parameters and irradiation protocols necessitate further investigation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of LLLT in accelerating OTM during the initial levelling and alignment phase in patients with maxillary anterior crowding.2025-01-01T00:00:00ZEvaluation of the accuracy of dolphin imaging software in predicting soft tissue changes post fixed functional therapy – a retrospective observational studyREG.NO:II0222004http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/19802025-09-24T07:31:52Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Evaluation of the accuracy of dolphin imaging software in predicting soft tissue changes post fixed functional therapy – a retrospective observational study
Authors: REG.NO:II0222004
Abstract: Introduction: Improvement in facial esthetics is the most common motivation for seeking orthodontic treatment. To visually simulate and predict the orthodontic treatment outcomes, computerized profile and photograph prediction systems, such as Dolphin Imaging® can simulate the whole process of treatment by vivid, simple, and self-evident animations. The accuracy of computer-aided VTO prediction in soft tissue changes after orthodontic treatment using Dolphin Imaging software is still under debate.
Aim: To evaluate the accuracy of Dolphin VTO prediction in soft tissue changes after fixed functional therapy by comparing the changes between predicted and actual values of the soft tissue parameters.2025-01-01T00:00:00ZComparison of soft tissue nasal changes in unilateral cleft lip and palate with non cleft lip and palate infants using 3-dimensional imagingREG.NO:II0222002http://localhost:8080/xmlui/handle/123456789/19792025-09-24T07:29:25Z2025-01-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Comparison of soft tissue nasal changes in unilateral cleft lip and palate with non cleft lip and palate infants using 3-dimensional imaging
Authors: REG.NO:II0222002
Abstract: Introduction:
Unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) is a common craniofacial anomaly characterized by nasolabial asymmetry and soft tissue deformities that can affect aesthetics and vital functions. Traditionally, two-dimensional (2D) assessments have been used to evaluate nasal morphology; however, they lack accuracy and depth perception. With the advent of three-dimensional (3D) imaging, precise evaluation of soft tissue changes before and after surgical intervention has become possible. This study aims to evaluate and compare the 3D nasal soft tissue morphology in UCLP infants and non-cleft controls across multiple time points, thereby assessing the effectiveness of surgical intervention in restoring nasal symmetry2025-01-01T00:00:00Z
