Evaluation of the prototype of a new bracket-positioning gauge
Mota Júnior,Sergio Luiz; Campos,Marcio José da Silva; Schmitberger,Carina Abrantes; Vitral,Juliana de Andrade; Fraga,Marcelo ReisABSTRACT Objective: The purposes of this study were to present a prototype of a bracket-positioning gauge, which makes vertical inclination of the instrument difficult, allowing a reduction of vertical bracket positioning error, and to test its accuracy in bracket positioning by groups of individuals with different clinical experience and in specific groups of teeth. Methods: For the testing of the prototype, f...
Assessment of pain experience in adults and children after bracket bonding and ...
Campos,Marcio José da Silva; Fraga,Marcelo Reis; Raposo,Nádia Rezende Barbosa; Ferreira,Ana Paula; Vitral,Robert Willer FarinazzoINTRODUCTION: Ninety five percent of orthodontic patients routinely report pain, due to alterations in the periodontal ligament and surrounding soft tissues, with intensity and prevalence varying according to age. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess toothache and buccal mucosal pain in adults and children during two initial phases of the orthodontic treatment. METHODS: The intensity of toothache and buccal mu...
Clinical evaluation of dental alignment and leveling with three different types...
Gravina,Marco Abdo; Brunharo,Ione Helena Vieira Portella; Fraga,Marcelo Reis; Artese,Flavia; Campos,Marcio José da Silva; Vitral,Robert Willer FarinazzoINTRODUCTION: A wide variety of orthodontic wires made of different alloys is available to be used in orthodontic practice and may produce different clinical responses during tooth movement. OBJECTIVE: This research evaluated the alignment and leveling of lower dental arches after the use of three types of orthodontic wires. METHODS: A sample of 36 patients was randomly divided into 3 groups: stainless steel, m...
Prototype of a new tip developed to be coupled to dental light-curing units for...
Mota Júnior,Sergio Luiz; Campos,Márcio José da Silva; Gravina,Marco Abdo; Fraga,Marcelo Reis; Vitral,Robert Willer FarinazzoOBJECTIVE: development of a new device to be coupled to light-curing units for bonding orthodontic brackets and accessories, and test its efficacy in an in vitro mechanical trial. The inner surface of the device is mirrored and is based on physical concepts of light refraction and reflection. The main advantage of such device is the reduced clinical time needed for bonding and the low possibility of contaminati...
Efeito da amarração em Ortodontia, com ligaduras elastoméricas e de aço inoxidá...
Rodrigues,Clotilde Freitas; Sales,Lígia de Araújo Ramos; Vitral,Robert Willer Farinazzo; Fraga,Marcelo Reis; Quintão,Cátia Cardoso AbdoOBJETIVO: o presente estudo avaliou clinicamente as condições periodontais de um grupo teste e um grupo controle utilizando-se os seguintes três sistemas de indexação periodontal: índice de biofilme, índice de sangramento e profundidade de sondagem. MÉTODOS: o grupo teste foi composto por 20 indivíduos com média etária de 13,5 anos, submetido ao tratamento ortodôntico fixo, que recebeu duas formas de ligaduras:...
Avaliação do espaço adicional requerido no perímetro do arco inferior para o ni...
Campos,Marcio José da Silva; Quintão,Cátia Cardoso Abdo; Fraga,Marcelo Reis; Vitral,Robert Willer FarinazzoOBJETIVO: determinar o perímetro de arco adicional necessário para o nivelamento da curva de Spee através de uma técnica laboratorial em modelos de estudo. MÉTODOS: foram utilizados 70 modelos inferiores nos quais se mediu a profundidade da curva de Spee e o perímetro do arco (de segundo molar a segundo molar). Nos mesmos modelos, após a simulação do nivelamento da curva de Spee, o perímetro de arco foi novamen...
