Preclinical evaluation of 3D-Printed orthodontic aligners using an electro-typodont model Open
Objectives The use of 3D printing in orthodontic aligner production addresses several limitations of conventional thermoforming. However, existing experimental techniques for evaluating aligner efficacy remain restricted. This study aims t…
A Novel Electro-Typodont for Measuring the Efficacy of 3D-Printed Orthodontic Aligners Open
Objectives: To introduce a novel method—an electric typodont model—to evaluate the efficacy of 3D-printed orthodontic aligners in correcting rotations of the upper right central incisor (Tooth 11). Materials and Methods: An electric typodo…
A Comparative Assessment of the Bonding Characteristics of Three-Dimensional Custom-Printed Polycrystalline Alumina Brackets and Conventional Brackets Open
Objective: The objective was to compare the shear bond strength (SBS) and the adhesive remnant index (ARI) amongst six orthodontic bracket groups. Materials and Methods: Three-dimensional printed polycrystalline alumina brackets (3DBs), ce…
Alternative conservative approach for tooth build-up in patients with special healthcare needs Open
Purpose: The success of an artificial crown mainly depends on the biomechanical factors such as bonding capacity of cement between the crown and abutment tooth, and root strength of the abutment tooth. In this case series, we aim to provid…

Use of Laser in Sleep Disorders: A Review on Low Laser Uvulopalatoplasty Open
Study Objective. The objective of this study is to find the effectiveness of the low laser therapy on uvulopalatoplasty/soft palate in sleep apnea patients and snoring. Also, this study aims to touch base on the effectiveness of the Er:YAG…
Optimal Use of a Panoramic Radiograph as a Screening Tool for Condylar Resorption in Patients Undergoing Active Orthodontic Treatment: A Case Series Open
Condylar resorption of temporomandibular joint findings in the panoramic radiographs is an indication of bone resorption suggesting possible degenerative joint disease that warrants early screen and subsequent referral to a dedicated speci…
Diagnosing mandibular asymmetry using posteroanterior cephalograms in patients with unilateral and bilateral degenerative joint disease Open
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the possible differences in facial asymmetry between bilateral degenerative joint disease (BDJD) and unilateral degenerative joint disease (UDJD) when compared to asymptomatic controls.…
Prevalence of airway obstruction: A cross-racial comparison Open
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of airway obstruction visible on lateral cephalometric radiographs among patients of different racial groups who presented to the Eastman Institute for Oral Health (EIOH) for …
A retrospective comparison of dental and skeletal ages between African American, Caucasian, and Hispanic subjects Open
Dental and skeletal maturation are fairly similar among AA, C and H subjects (aged 9 to 15 years).
Radiographic features associated with temporomandibular joint disorders among African, White, Chinese, Hispanic, and Indian racial groups Open
Chinese patients presented with more radiographic features suggestive of TMD, whereas the Indians showed the least, compared with subjects from the White, Black, and Hispanic racial groups.
