Evaluation of Shear Bond Strength of Orthodontic Brackets Bonded with Different Adhesives.

Background: There is necessary of dry operating field for bonding of orthodontic brackets. The presence of moisture can alter the bond strength. Hence, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets with different adhesives.

Systemic Assessment of Patients Undergoing Dental Implant Surgeries: A Trans- and Post-operative Analysis.

Background: Procedure-related and patient-related factors influence the prognosis of dental implants to a major extent. Hence, we aimed to evaluate and analyze various systemic factors in patients receiving dental implants.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-one patients were included in the study, in which a total of 110 dental implants were placed.

Forces in initial archwires during leveling and aligning: An study.

Aim: This study measured the force deflection behavior of selected initial alignment archwires by conducting three-point bending tests under controlled tests. The study tested three wire designs, namely, co-axial multistranded stainless steel wires, nickel-titanium, and copper-nickel-titanium archwires.

Materials And Methods: The archwires were ligated to a specially designed metal jig, simulating the arch.

A case of perianal and gluteal scrofulodefma.

A 47-year-old male presented with multiple perianal and gluteal pus discharging sinuses. On examination, undermined sinus edges, thick and hyperpigmented surrounding skin, sacral tenderness and a lax anal sphincter were noted. Based on clinical, radiological and histopathological evaluations, patient was diagnosed to have sacral tuberculosis with perianal and gluteal scrofuloderma and he was started on anti-tuberculosis treatment.
