The position of the mandibular foramen in relation to the anterior and posterior borders of the mandibular ramus, inferior border of the mandible, sigmoid notch and occlusal plane was determined in each panoramic radiograph. Results: Thepositionof themandibularforamenrelativetotheocclusalplaneandthesigmoidnotchsignificantlydifferedamong the three skeletal groups; however, no significant difference existed among the skeletal classes with regard to the position of the mandibular foramen in relation to the anterior and posterior borders of the ramus and the inferior border of the mandible. Conclusions: The position of the mandibular foramen tends to be lower in skeletal class II patients; therefore, it seems that lower injection heights in these patients could result in better outcomes.","PeriodicalId":320129,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Orthodontics","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124874221","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}

Titanium oxide (TiO2) is a compound that possesses clinically significant anti-microbial action especially against lactobacillus and streptococci. However the safety of the TiO2 coated wires has still not been tested. In this study, we evaluated the cytotoxic effects of TiO2 coated stainless steel orthodontic wires. To assess the same, we used A549 cells as experimental cell line. Cells were categorized into 4 groups (n=6/group): cellular control group, represented by the cell growth; negative control group (stainless steel wire) positive control group (hydrogen peroxide), experimental group (titanium oxide coated stainless steel wires). The cultures were carried out either on 6 well plates or 96 well plates and pictures were captured using a microscope or assessed by MTT assay. \u0000Results: MTT assay revealed no cytotoxic effect by TiO2 coated wires as compared to control. Similarly, structural assessment of cellular morphology and nuclear membrane structure further showed no change in toxic effects of TiO2 coated SS wires on the cells. \u0000Conclusion: Despite the limitations of this study, we demonstrated that titanium oxide coated wires had no cytotoxic effects like uncoated stainless steel wires and that there is a strong demand for long-term studies of TiO2 coated wires and brackets, with a strong focus on the cytotoxic properties, concentrations and exposure times, to make the desired applications for TiO2 coated wires safe and suitable for orthodontic use.","PeriodicalId":320129,"journal":{"name":"Iranian Journal of Orthodontics","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126866028","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 models were loaded with 187 N force on the incisal edges of two incisors. Results: Stress on canine was 0.45 MPa in normal bone height and increased to 0.60 MPa in five millimeters of anterior teeth bone loss. Labial displacement was less in normal alveolar bone height while it was increased in all those teeth with five millimeter of bone loss.
