The Effects of Different Bracket Types on Orthodontic Treatment Evaluated with the Objective Grading System

Background: Standard edgewise and preadjusted Roth are two bracket types widely used for orthodontic treatment. Whether one of these bracket types offers better treatment results than the other requires further evaluation. The Objective Grading System created by the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) is one of the most reliable indices used to evaluate treatment outcomes. Objectives: To determine the effects of using two different bracket types on treatment outcomes by using the Objective Grading System. Methods: The sample for this study consisted of 64 randomly selected post-treatment dental casts and panoramic radiographs. Of these samples, 32 were treated with a standard edgewise bracket, and the others were treated with a preadjusted Roth bracket. Patient samples were included if they had non-extraction Class I malocclusion (minor crowding 0.05). The highest score was found for the buccolingual inclination parameter, and the lowest score was for interproximal contacts. Conclusion: According to the Objective Grading System, there are no statistically significant differences between the orthodontic treatment outcomes obtained using a standard edgewise or a preadjusted Roth bracket

Current status of industrial accident learning in Malaysia

The accident rate in Malaysia is decreasing; however, statistically it is still high if compared with other developing nations. One of the reasons why accidents keep on happening is due to poor learning from accidents. This paper discusses the level of accident learning from accident reports submitted to the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) Malaysia and the Society Security Organization (SOCSO) Malaysia involving 1,291 accident cases. Based on the quality and completeness of accident reports, their levels of learning were classified into five accident causation levels which are no, limited, fair, good and excellent learning

Histological analyses of orthodontic force in Cavia porcellus: Comparison between immunohistochemistry and hematoxylin-eosin.

Context: Histological quantification of osteoclasts and osteoblasts can evaluate biological responses to orthodontic tooth movement. Histological analysis of bone samples can be technically challenging. Aims: To evaluate the differences between hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining and immunohistochemistry (IHC) in quantifying osteoblast and osteoclast cells following the application of static orthodontic force. Methods: Orthodontic force was applied using a rubber separator around the maxilla incisor of Cavia porcellus. Tooth samples were taken at 0, 4, 8, 14, 21, and 28 days after applying orthodontic force. HE and IHC staining quantify osteoblast and osteoclast cells in the alveolar bone. IHC staining, i.e., Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining, was used to identify osteoclasts, and osteocalcin (OCN) staining was used to identify osteoblasts. Results: Significantly higher numbers of osteoclasts and osteoblasts were observed with IHC compared to HE staining (p<0.05). Significant positive linear correlations in the numbers of osteoclasts (r = 0.757) and osteoblasts (r = 0.622) identified were observed between IHC and HE staining. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate HE staining may represent an acceptable alternative method of quantifying osteoclasts and osteoblasts in the preliminary research of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM)

PERAWATAN ORTODONTI DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN SISTEM DAMON: ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT WITH DAMON SYSTEM

Self- ligating bracket systems are currently one of the famous topics in orthodontics. There are many of these systems i n the market. However, the Damon bracket system is mostly the best known and widely used. The Damon system is a passive self- ligati ng method in correcting malocclusions. The Damon bracket system does not require o- rings to hold the wire in place, the Damon system uses small sliding doors. The absence of using o- rings, the wire freely slides through the slot without friction, which necessitates new mechanics to complete the treatment faster and more optimal. In conclusion, treatment procedures with Damon system become simpler and faster compared to conventional brackets
