Aim and objective: The aim of this study was to compare the cephalometric measurements using Nemoceph software with manual tracings. Materials and methods: The sample consisted of 60 lateral Cephalometric radiographs of patients randomly selected from the existing records of patients of
Rotation correction is challenging in lingual orthodontics due to shorter interbracket distance. Smith's rotation tie is one of the means to derotate anterior teeth. Here, we have described a case report of a 22-year-old female, who was undertaking orthodontic treatment with lingual technique, in which canine was derotated using modified Smith's rotation tie.
Aims and objectives:The study was undertaken to estimate the availability of literature on PubMed-Medline by Indian orthodontists from 1990 to 2011 by using bibliometric analysis.
Materials and methods:Articles available on PubMed-Medline database in time span of 1st January 1990 to 31st December 2011, where authors' affiliation had the words 'Dental' and 'India' were selected. The information collected were: Name of the journal, year of publication, specialty of first author, number of authors, reach of the journal, status of the journal, , state of origin, and type of article. From this data, the performance of specialty of orthodontic was analyzed.Results: Out of total of 242 articles, 189 got published in international journals and 53 in Indian journals. 50 (20.6%) were published in Journal of Clinical Orthodontics followed by 37(15.2%) in American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. 102 (42.1%) were original research done by authors. 91(37.6%) articles were from institutes in Karnataka, followed by Tamil Nadu (12.8%), Delhi (11.1%) and Maharashtra(9.5%). There seems to be boom in the publication trend since 2006.
Conclusion:The results of this study could be used by various professional societies, individual scientists, scholarly institutions and funding organizations to frame essential policies regarding the improvement of the science of orthodontists and to the benefit of common Indians.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
