Ceramic brackets were bonded to the zirconia discs using Transbond XT. Following thermocycling (500 cycles, 5° - 55° C), SBS, failure mode and Adhesive Remnant Index were assessed.RESULTS:Group C showed the highest SBS followed by Group B with no statistically significant difference. Most of the specimens in Group C showed an adhesive failure between the bracket base and the adhesive, whereas Group B presented mainly a mixed cohesive adhesive failure. SBS in Group A was significantly lower than either groups showing an adhesive failure at the zirconia- adhesive interface.CONCLUSIONS: Both Assure Plus + Silane and the classical ceramic bonding protocol achieved clinically acceptable SBS of ceramic brackets bonded to glazed zirconia. However, Assure Plus + Silane achieved better debonding characteristics.","PeriodicalId":305086,"journal":{"name":"Egyptian Orthodontic Journal","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117185145","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}

The maxilla was divided into two for a split mouth design.The following parameters were obtained: The mesiodistal width of each tooth, the crown /root ratio of each tooth, and the volume of the impacted canine compared to the contralateral normally erupting canine, angulation and morphology of the root, Interpremolar and intermolar width of the upper arch and the arch perimeter.The measures were compared between the 2 sides. The data obtained in this study was subjected to Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, McNemar test and Paired t-test at P ≤0.05.

Material and Methods: The study was conducted on 300 patients with age range 18-30 years. Intraoral dental and Orthodontic classification was performed alongside a questionnaire. Patients’ occlusions were classified based on Angle’s Classification. Results: Among the sample group, it was found that Class I malocclusion was the most prevalent malocclusion with 74% , Class II division 1 was 12% and Class II division 2 was 11% and the least was Class III with 3% with significant difference between males and females. For different ethnic groups included in the study the same pattern of prevalence applied (Class I followed by Class II, Class III came last) except for Caucasians and Far Eastern, where Class II division 2 surpassed division 1 with a significant difference between all Classes of malocclusion except for Class I. As for oral habits, nail biting was the most prevalent oral habit showing 20.7%, followed by teeth grinding 11%, thumb sucking 10%. Tongue Thrust was the least prevalent habit with a significantly higher prevalence in Class II malocclusion of the studied sample. CONCLUSION: Class I malocclusion was the most prevalent malocclusion, followed by Class II division 1, Class II division 2, and the least was Class III. All ethnic groups showed the same pattern of distribution except for Caucasians, Far Eastern, and South Asian. The pattern of distribution was the same for both males and females; however, a difference in the percentage existed between genders. The most prevalent oral habit was nail biting.

Methods:This retrospective study was conducted on 102 untreated Class III malocclusion patients. They were divided into group 1 (overjet<0mm, n=51) and group 2 (overjet ≥ 0mm, n=51). Twenty-six cephlometric readings were compared between the two groups. Correlation analysis was performed between the overjet with skeletal and dental measurements and Regression analysis was performed to determine the overjet. Results: The results showed a significantly higher SNB, S-N-Pg, gonial angle and L1-NB mm in the negative overjet group. While, the ANB angle, angle of convexity, Wits appraisal, bony chin and U1- A-Pg mm were significantly higher in the positive overjet group. However, no statistically significant difference was found in the rest of the readings. Correlational analyses showed that the overjet has significant negative correlation with SNB, S-N-Pg, L1-Frankfort, gonialangles. On the other hand, it had significant positivecorrelation with ANB angle, angle of convexity, Wits appraisal, bony chin, L1-MP angle and U1-A-Pg mm. Nine regression equations for the overjet were calculated with the highest coeffcient of determination of 0.33. Conclusion: Dentoalveolar compensation was seen in Class III cases with less skeletal discrepancy, lower mandibular prominence, larger bony chin, greater angle of convexity and smaller gonial angle.
