As a repercussion of this stipulation, invisible orthodontic treatment has expanded its horizon. Efforts of using aesthetic brackets, wires, and lingual techniques to meet the expectations of adult patients have been practised. Though these techniques seemed to be promising in the initial days, soon decreased in popularity due to drawbacks associated with them. Clear aligners were offered as a newer and superior aesthetic alternative to overcome the difficulties associated with prior aesthetic approaches. These aligners are made up of different thermoplastic materials intended to move the malpositioned teeth in the desired corrected position following push mechanics. This article deals with new generation orthodontic treatment using aligners. It deals with history, generations, different materials used, and the distances yet to be travelled to become the benchmark and replace the existing conventional braces. This paper also gives a bird’s eye view of the method of aligner fabrication and the significant differences between the regular braces and aligners used in orthodontics.","PeriodicalId":132317,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Dental Materials","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124633667","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Though this treatment modality provides a high level of patient satisfaction and success, it cannot be performed in all cases. Implant use is also restricted when the quality and quantity of bone at the edentulous site is limited, in addition to medically impaired patients. Among the conditions are remaining ridges with reduced interdental spacing, atrophic edentulous maxillary and mandibular ridges, and narrow ridges such as the mandibular incisor and maxillary lateral incisor area. A proper augmentation method for the placement of a regular diameter implant (3.75 to 7 mm) can improve the height and width of bone at such sites. However, bone augmentation and bone grafting procedures are rarely undertaken due to financial constraints, the risk of subjecting the patient to additional surgical procedures, the added time factor, or the guarded prognosis of the grafted site. In such cases, mini-implants are the choice of treatment. Mini-implants have the potential to be a viable alternative to standard-diameter implants in some circumstances. Benefits of mini-implants can be gained by replacing a single missing tooth, or preferably they must be used in multiples to retain fixed dental prostheses and might serve as an inexpensive, and efficient solution for retaining overdentures in selected cases.","PeriodicalId":132317,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Dental Materials","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115742362","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Depending on the coronal tooth structure remaining and the technique used (direct or indirect), endodontic anchorage can involve either a cast post and core or a prefabricated post.\u0000Aim: This study aimed to investigate the effect of different custom angulated, i.e.,0°,5°,10°,15° elastic glass fibre post (Everstick post) on fracture resistance of maxillary central incisors.\u0000Materials and methods:  A total of forty-eight single-rooted maxillary central incisors were selected. All the samples were decoronated 2mm above the CEJ and endodontically treated. Post-space preparation was done for all the samples using peesoreamers ranging in size from 1-3.  The samples were then randomly divided into four groups (n=12) based on the different angulations, i.e., the angle between the core and the long axis of the root, with 0°, 5°, 10°, and 15° angulations, respectively. The fit of each post in the root canal was verified. Before cementation, the coronal part of each post was bent according to their respective groups. Dual-cure resin cement was used for luting the posts and cured subsequently. The fracture resistance of all the samples was evaluated using the universal testing machine after they were mounted in self-cure acrylic resin blocks. The data were analysed using One- way ANOVA and Tukey’s post-hoc test.\u0000Results: Group I exhibited the highest mean fracture resistance compared to other groups. However, One-way ANOVA showed no significant differences (p=0.161) between the four groups.\u0000Conclusion: Everstick fibre posts are a preferable alternative for maxillary central incisors with core angulations up to 15° between coronal and radicular segments as they provide better fracture resistance with a more favourable stress distribution.","PeriodicalId":132317,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Dental Materials","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129244072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This was followed by characterisation of the samples after immersion using 31P magic angle - nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MAS-NMR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and dentine treated with the material using scanning electron microscopy (SEM).\u0000Results: 31P MAS-NMR and XRD analyses revealed that samples immersed in TRIS buffer solution formed hydroxyapatite within approximately 6 hours of immersion. This change was observed at around 12 hours for samples soaked in AS.  The pH of the immersion media increased with increasing immersion time.

Keeping in mind about the routes of transmission of COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease-19), dental practitioners are at higher risk of exposure and disease spread. Hence, this review article emphasizes the routes of transmission, risk factors, prophylactic and preventive measures.

FRCs are a combination of two materials: the reinforcing phase in the form of fibers, which are embedded into the other material, called the matrix phase. Factors influencing the properties of FRCs include fibre properties versus polymer matrix properties, impregnation of fibres in the resin, adhesion of fibres to the polymer matrix, quantity and direction of fibres, and location of the fibre-rich phase in construction. The most commonly used applications of FRCs are in removable dentures, minimally invasive fixed dental prostheses, periodontal splints, root canal posts, and orthodontic retainers. This article discusses in detail the applications of FRCs in endodontics, including root canal posts, reinforcement of restorative composites in restorations and core build-ups and splinting of teeth in dental trauma.","PeriodicalId":132317,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Dental Materials","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129577396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
