The permanent canines are the foundation of an esthetic smile and functional occlusion. Factors that interfere with its development and eruption had serious consequences on esthetics, function and stability of stomatognathic system. The orthodontic treatment of impacted maxillary canine remains a challenge to today's clinicians. The treatment of this clinical entity usually involves surgical exposure of the impacted tooth, followed by orthodontic traction to guide and align it into the dental arch. Bone loss, root resorption, and gingival recession around the treated teeth are some of the...

Most of the craniofacial growth studies are cross-sectional in nature and provided a large number of cephalometric standards for males and females at different ages and for various ethnic groups. Variations in craniofacial Morphology exist between different ethnic and racial groups. The cephalometric standards developed for one ethnic group need not apply to other ethnic groups - the racial groups must be dealt according to their own characteristics. Limited number of longitudinal or semi-longitudinal studies has been reported for Indian population. A Rural residential Free school at Suttur,...

Cephalometric standards of one ethnic group need not apply to other ethnic groups. This study evaluated lateral cephalometric craniofacial changes between 7-10 years & differences between genders for children of Suttur. The linear increase in SNA & SNB from 7-10 years was significant. ANB, A-NPog, A: ss-n-pg there was linear decrease from 7-10 years. Mean basal vertical measurements of PFH, PFH/AFH, Jaw relation & N: Ans there was linear increase in measurement from 7-10 years. Mean values of Jaw relation, Maxillary Inclination & Mandibular Inclination decreased from 7-10 years. Jaw angle was...

Pentraxin-3 is Tumor necrotic factor (TNF)-stimulated gene 14 (TSG-14), elevated level of PTX-3 in plasma is seen in severe infections and some diseases. PTX-3 is considered as a marker of inflammation. Active tieback and NiTi coil spring are used for space closure after extraction of premolars. Active tieback is simple, economical and reliable. Nickel titanium coil springs have been shown to produce a constant force over varying lengths and duration, with no force decay. This book compares the levels of Pentraxin 3 (PTX-3) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) in orthodontic patients undergoing...
