A thorough understanding of this impact is important for taking suitable precautions for successful dental rehabilitation. Aim: The objective of this study is to review the available literature regarding the impact of drilling speed on heat generation and other related parameters that influence the success of dental implants. Material and Methods: Suitable research papers relevant for study were identified through electronic database of available dental literature in PubMed and MEDLINE for all articles published till February, 2021. Peer-reviewed dental and PubMed indexed journals were selected. Search was done using certain relevant key words and terms. Results: The initial search revealed a total of 281 articles which were then screened and a total of 61 articles were selected based on the inclusion criteria. Focus was laid on the studies related to drilling speed and its impact on osseointegration, heat generation during osteotomy, drilling speed and bone viability, drilling speed and primary stability of implant and particle size of the bone collected. Heat generation during implant placement is affected by multiple factors with drilling speed being one of them. Conclusion: Researchers have reached contradictory conclusions regarding the impact of drilling speed on heat generation during osteotomy and other parameters. However, studies in the recent past are favoring low speed drilling owing to the advantage of perfect control of the drilling depth and the possibility of collection of a considerable amount of viable granular bone grafts during the procedure.","PeriodicalId":77222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pierre Fauchard Academy (Pierre Fauchard Academy.

Therefore, this study aims to systematically evaluate the efficiency of retention and periodontal effects of lingual bonded retainers in orthodontically treated patients. Materials and Methods: The PRISMA guidelines were followed. The databases of Cochrane Library, PubMed and Google Scholar were systematically searched. All human, original research studies in English evaluating the fixed lingual bonded retainers, in orthodontically treated patients, in single group or in comparison with different fixed lingual bonded retainers, with or without control were included. All articles were subjected to assessment of risk of bias. Results: A total of 17 studies were selected meeting the inclusion criteria. These were divided into two Group 1 - addressing the periodontal status; Group 2 - addressing the lower incisor stability. The 7 selected studies for group 1, reported that periodontal effects like gingival inflammation, plaque and calculus accumulation are associated with all kinds of lingual bonded retainers, but more in multistranded retainer. The lower incisor stability and alignment during retention phase was shown to be very efficient with multistranded retainers compared to others, in the 14 selected studies for group 2. From the 17 selected studies, 8 studies had a high risk of bias, 5 studies had a medium of bias and 4 studies had a low risk of bias. Conclusion: Even though newer types of retainers are being introduced to improve the survival rate, the multistranded retainers still prove to be a good choice with respect to maintenance of incisor alignment.","PeriodicalId":77222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pierre Fauchard Academy (Pierre Fauchard Academy.

Longevity of a restorations can be predicted to some extent based on bond strength of adhesives. There have been several discrepancies within the reported bond strengths of various materials. Bond strength of the adhesive system is affected by a large number of factors, which makes the comparison among studies difficult. Throughout the years, laboratory evaluations have been the basis for clinicians to choose the adhesive systems in their daily practice. However the validity of bond strength tests to predict clinical performance of dental adhesives is yet to be justified. The realization of an adequate and valid method for assessing bond strength is a difficult endeavor. Different types of test have been utilized to assess the strength of a bond, which has its own advantages and disadvantages. Bonding strength is the strength required to rupture a bond formed by an adhesive system and the adherent. Often, the test involves the measurement of the shear and flexural bond strength of the adhesive system. This review focuses on aspects associated to various bond strength test methods used to test the adhesion between tooth and the restorative materials and their mechanics.","PeriodicalId":77222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pierre Fauchard Academy (Pierre Fauchard Academy.

Present study aims at assessing nasal tip projection and nasal tip rotation among patients with different sagittal skeletal relations and vertical facial patterns in Maharashtrian population using photographic analysis. Materials and Methods: Records of 410 patients with age ranging from 17 to 25 yrs were selected from the institutional archives; to assess the nasal projection and rotation. Data obtained was divided into groups depending on the type of sagittal skeletal relation and vertical facial pattern and subjected to the statistical analyses. Results: Nasal tip projection was greater among patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion (mean 0.39) as compared to other malocclusion types, but did not differ significantly (P-value>0.05). Nasal tip rotation was clockwise among patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion and anticlockwise in Class I and Class II malocclusion patients, which was statistically significant (P-value<0.05). Amongst the patients with different vertical facial pattern, no statistically significant result could be obtained for nasal tip projection and rotation.

Material and Methods: This prospective observational study was planned with a sample size of 15 subjects (5 male & 10 female) diagnosed with mandibular hypoplasia as a cause of Class II malocclusion, requiring fixed functional therapy, with the inclusion criteria of age of 16-25 yrs with the ANB value range of 4°+2° with a non-extraction treatment plan. Pre-functional records were recorded once the leveling and alignment phase was complete and Forsus FRD attachments were placed. Treatment continued till the desired objectives were achieved. Post functional records were made at the end of functional therapy, after removal of Forsus FRD. Along with soft tissue analysis on lateral cephalogram, Acoustic Pharyngometry (AP) was recorded for each patient (Eccovision®†(sleep group solutions Florida, US) for airway changes before and after Forsus FRD. Results: Post functional treatment indicated statistically significant changes in nasolabial angle, upper lip position, upper lip strain, H angle and mento-labial sulcus. On evaluation of upper airway dimensions of the subjects by pharyngometry , there were statistically significant changes in mean upper airway volume and area. Conclusion: Study concluded that Forsus FRD is an effective method for correction of skeletal Class II malocclusion among adolescent patients, enhancing marked improvement in soft tissue profile of the patients, along with significant increase in volume and area of hypopharyngeal and oropharyngeal spaces, thus improving the upper airway patency.","PeriodicalId":77222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pierre Fauchard Academy (Pierre Fauchard Academy.

Materials and Methods: Forty four subjects were selected for the study requiring sectional maxillary canine retraction in first premolar extraction space during orthodontic treatment. The self ligating bracket (Smart Clip, 3M Unitek) on maxillary canine was compared to CV bracket (APC Victory series) on the contralateral side in a random split-mouth study design. Sectional canine retraction was done with a NiTi coil spring (150 gms force, 9 mm) on 0.016 × 0.022\" slot stainless steel wire. Results: The mean rate of distal movement of maxillary canine for the conventional (CV) bracket per 28 days was 1.048 mm and 1.027 mm for smart clip self ligating bracket (SCSL). Anchorage loss in molar was 0.586 mm and 0.652 mm for CV and SCSL bracket respectively. Conclusion: The rate of canine retraction for conventional bracket was faster than self ligating bracket, but not statistically significant (p>0.05). Comparatively, no major difference was found in terms of molar anchor loss between both bracket types. Therefore, this study indicates that conventional brackets are equally efficient as compared to self ligating brackets for segmental canine retraction mechanics.","PeriodicalId":77222,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pierre Fauchard Academy (Pierre Fauchard Academy.
