“…Increased duration of treatment is one of the major concerns of patients who need orthodontic treatment (DiBiase et al, 2011, Moresca, 2018, Attri et al, 2018). Infact, a huge number of orthodontic patients do not go ahead with orthodontic treatment due to length treatment time.…”

ObjectiveTo evaluate the rate of canine retraction, mesial movement of molar and pain perception in maxillary first premolar extraction patients with or without flapless cortical perforations (FCPs).MethodsThirty adult patients with class II div I malocclusion were randomly allocated with the help of SPSS software to either perforation or conventional group for carrying out this randomized parallel group-controlled trial in 1:1 ratio. Maxillary first premolars were extracted and after canine retraction, distance between the tip of the canine and midpoint of incisal edge and the distance between the cervical midpoints on the height of contour of respective cinguli was measured. Also, mesial movement of molar and pain perception were assessed in both groups. Three bilateral cortical FCP of 1.5 mm diameter were made in the perforation group. Data were analyzed with the help of SPSS software with an intention-to-treat the FCP approach.ResultsSignificant canine retraction in patients with FCP (mean retraction of 6.68 ± 0.60 [measured at crown tip level] and 5.97 ± 0.71 mm [measured at mid cervical level]) was revealed, while patients with conventional mechanics had mean retraction of 2.54 ± 0.49 and 2.33 ± 0.46 mm. Mesial movement of molar also showed significant difference (FCP = 0.48 ± 0.11 mm and Conventional = 0.65 ± 0.19 mm). Pain perception in control group was significantly lower in day 1 and 2.ConclusionFCPs are an effective method of accelerating the rate of canine retractions by 2–3 fold of tooth movement, however, pain perception was high in day 1 and 2.

“…Whereas 21% felt that their treatment can go wrong leading to an increased treatment duration. Previous studies (Moresca, 2018;Beckwith et al, 1999) have evaluated the factors affecting longer treatment time and found that patient compliance was one important factor associated with treatment duration. Patient compliance related factors include missing appointments, poor oral hygiene, appliance breakage which leads to increase treatment time.…”

As the COVID-19 pandemic is steadily rising, there is an increase in psychological distress among the orthodontic patients regarding their ongoing treatment. Thus aim of the study was to assess the anxiety and perceptions among orthodontic patients regarding the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on orthodontic treatment. A closed end online questionnaire was sent as Google forms to 300 adult patients’ currently undergoing orthodontic treatment at a tertiary care center. 266 patients answered the survey with a response rate of 88.7%. Online consent was taken before participation in the study and the survey was anonymized and did not contain any identifying information. The descriptive data included the participants' responses using frequency and proportions. The difference in the distribution of responses were compared using Chi-square goodness of fit test and the level of significance was fixed at p < 0.05. Level of anxiety between males and females was compared using independent t-test. Among the respondents, 126 were males and 140 were females. The mean level of anxiety level among males was 4.28 ± 2.28 whereas for females it was 5.85 ± 2.48. The differences in the distribution of responses by the participants were statistically significant. The COVID-19 pandemic showed to have a greater impact on orthodontic appointments and anxiety levels of patients. Females showed greater anxiety than males for visiting the dental clinics. The greatest concern that patients reported was the increase in their treatment duration and they also recognized the importance of monthly orthodontic reviews.

“…Recently, Ni free brackets like titanium brackets and ceramic brackets can be used effectively for nickel sensitive patients. 9 Among the archwires ion-implanted NiTi can be used instead of untreated NiTi wires. Besides that, further studies should be designed to measure the nickel content in oral tissues and its possible adverse cellular interactions.…”

Objective: The aim of this experiment showed the difference of corrosion resistance between Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) archwire and NiTi archwire with additional cooper (NiTi-Cu) in artificial saliva. Material and Methods: This research was conducted in these laboratory experiments, immersed the NiTi archwires and NiTi-Cu archwires on artificial saliva at pH= 7 and incubated on 37°C, with the ratio of the archwire and the saliva was 0.02 gr: 1 ml during 1 day, 33 days and 66 days.Results: Corrosion resistances reviewed by average saliva artificial contained ion Ni after immersed 1 day of NiTi archwires and NiTi-Cu were 0.033 ± 0.000, and after immersed 33 days were 0.053 ± 0.022 and 0.101 ± 0.050, and after 66 days immersed were 0.101 ± 0.050 and 8.052 ± 3.4667. Conclusion:Based on research conducted, NiTi archwire more resistant to corrosion than NiTi-Cu, ion Ni released shown higher concentration in NiTi-Cu than NiTi.
