  • Quantitative assessment of interradicular bone density in the maxilla and mandible: implications in Clinical Orthodontics
    Progress in orthodontics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Tina Chugh, Sanjay V Ganeshkar, Ameet V. Revankar, Abhay Kumar Jain
    Abstract:

    Bone density at the interradicular area plays an important role during orthodontic treatment. In view of this fact, the study was designed to quantitatively evaluate the bone density at the interradicular areas of the alveolar and basal bones of maxilla and mandible by computed tomography. One hundred and nine computed tomographic images were randomly selected, and bone density was measured in Hounsfield units (HU) with bone mineral density software (Siemens VA20A_SP3A). The sample consisted of 78 males (mean age 29.5 years, range 20 to 40 years) and 31 females (mean age 27.6 years, range 20 to 40 years). Cortical and cancellous bone density was measured at the interradicular areas at the alveolar and basal bone levels of the maxilla and mandible, and the data was subjected to statistical analysis for comparisons. The highest cortical bone density was observed between the second premolar and first molar at the alveolar bone level and between the first and second molars at the basal bone level in the maxilla. Maxillary tuberosity showed the least bone density. The density of the cortical bone was greater in the mandible than in the maxilla and showed a progressive increase from the incisor to the retromolar area. The basal bone showed a higher density thanthe alveolar bone. Different qualities of the bone were found in the anatomic regions studied, which confirms the importance of knowledge of site-specific bone tissue density to correlate with various Clinical findings.

  • Mesiodistal crown dimensions of the permanent dentition of a North Indian population
    Indian Journal of Dentistry, 2011
    Co-Authors: Abhay Kumar Jain, Nishita Garg, Jaspal Singh, Akram Ansari, B Sangamesh
    Abstract:

    Abstract The purpose of this study was to establish the mesiodistal tooth width of permanent teeth in a North Indian population sample. The measurements were obtained from 150 pairs of randomly selected dental casts divided equally among sexes. The subjects' age ranged from 13 to 25 years. An electronic digital caliper was used for the measurements. Descriptive statistics were used for the analysis of the data. The results of this study present the mean values of the mesiodistal tooth width of permanent teeth in both arches and the comparison of the measurements among sexes. The results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in mesiodistal tooth width between males and females where the males showed higher mean values. The results obtained could be of help in Clinical Orthodontics for space assessment. Results are also of importance to anthropologists and may be used as a basis for future studies.

  • Psychological aspects of Orthodontics in Clinical practice. Part one: treatment-specific variables.
    Progress in orthodontics, 2011
    Co-Authors: Ali Ukra, Florence Bennani, Mauro Farella
    Abstract:

    The orthodontist-patient relationship may have a significant impact on treatment outcome and patient satisfaction, thus improving the overall quality of care. Effective communication is crucial and unfortunately, it is often underestimated in a busy Clinical practice. Aim of part one of this article is to review the psychological aspects that are relevant to a number of treatment variables in Clinical Orthodontics, including compliance with treatment, oral hygiene, management of orthodontic pain and discomfort, and oral habits. Due to the complex nature of the psychology of orthodontic treatment, it is difficult to determine the extent of the influence that the orthodontist-patient relationship may have on these variables, with effective communication and an awareness of the psychological issues playing an important role in enhancing the orthodontist-patient relationship.

  • Psychological aspects of Orthodontics in Clinical practice. Part two: general psychosocial wellbeing.
    Progress in orthodontics, 2011
    Co-Authors: Ali Ukra, Florence Bennani, Mauro Farella
    Abstract:

    Abstract Orthodontists tend to treat/see their patients on a systematic, recurrent basis, often during crucial stages of psychological development. Therefore, they have a pivotal role in identifying a number of psychological as well as of psychiatric disorders. Effective communication is crucial and unfortunately, it is often underestimated in a busy Clinical practice. Aim of part two of this article it to review the role Clinical Orthodontics and the orthodontist-patient relationship have on the patients’ psychosocial wellbeing, including effects on self-esteem, bullying and harassment by peers, and even several psychiatric disorders, such as anorexia/bulimia nervosa, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorders. Due to the complexity and importance of these issues, the orthodontist may play a dynamic role, not only in the management of dental malocclusions, but at times, as “psychologist” and a counselor to the patient.

  • Current status of Clinical Orthodontics in European and American countries
    APOS Trends in Orthodontics, 2020
    Co-Authors: Kazuo Tanne
    Abstract:

    Current status of Clinical Orthodontics in European and American countries was examined by means of a questionnaire survey through internet. In the European and American countries, most popular technique in daily orthodontic practice is preadjusted straight wire edgewise technique. In major developed countries in Europe and America, the treatment fee is considerably high, whereas the fee is relatively low in the countries under development and/or after economic crisis. Rate of non-extraction treatment among all the cases treated with multi-bracket appliances is significantly higher in Europe and America than in Asia except in a few countries. In the European and American countries, treatment system for jaw deformity patients is well developed with higher availability of the social health insurance than in Asia. The maximum CLP prevalence of 0.200 is found in Germany and Austria and the mean is around 0.140 or one to 700 births. In general, CLP treatment is covered by social health insurance in European and American countries. In Europe and America, lingual orthodontic technique has not become popular because patients never want to hide orthodontic appliance. Higher cost of lingual appliance and lack in information and technical skills may be the reasons of less frequent use of lingual appliance. Many interviewees replied that usage of TADs has not become so popular in USA and Canada as compared to that in Asia. In another word, the initial fascination with TADs wore off and are now used in selected patients as needed. This may be due to more harmonious maxillofacial structure with longer and wider dentitions in Caucasians which also results in higher rate of non-extraction treatment with multibracket appliances in European and American countries.

    Co-Authors: Akiko Sasaki, Eiji Tanaka, Yuiko Touma, Yoshihiro Ishino, Junko Aoyama, Kohichi Hanaoka, Mineo Watanabe, Kazuo Tanne
    Abstract:

    Mechanical sutural separation has been carried out in Clinical Orthodontics for controlling the growth of the craniofacial skeleton. This study was designed to evaluate the effects of linear polarized near-infrared ray irradiation on the sutural expansion of rat sagittal suture. Twenty 8-week-old Wistar strain male rats were equally divided into experimental and control groups. Suture expansion was carried out for 5 days for all animals using an expansion appliance. The experimental animals were subjected to linear polarized near-infrared irradiation. This study has demonstrated that linear polarized near-infrared irradiation stimulates sutural expansion without any pathological changes.

  • Integrated information-processing system in Clinical Orthodontics: an approach with use of a computer network system.
    American journal of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics : official publication of the American Association of Orthodontists its constituent socie, 1992
    Co-Authors: Mamoru Sakuda, Kazuo Tanne, Kenmi Yoshida, Hiroyuki Inoue, Hiroaki Ohmae, Masafumi Tsuchiya, Satoshi Adachi, Koichi Nakagawa, Yasuko Inoue
    Abstract:

    A computer network system has been developed in the Orthodontic Clinic, Osaka University Dental Hospital, to improve treatment efficiency and patient service. The system consists of a 32-bit host computer, its peripheral units, and personal computers connected to the host computer by data-transmission circuits, making up a local area network (LAN). It is possible in this system to integrate various types of data, such as the patient's basic information, treatment records, image data, and diagnostic analysis results to construct a relational database. It has been shown that the computer system developed in the orthodontic clinic has various Clinical advantages.
