Article Abstract
Background: The self-ligating bracket system and corticision are two methods for acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM).
Objectives: The current study aimed to assess the effect of a self-ligating bracket system combined with corticision on the rate of OTM.
Patients And Methods: The present study was conducted on 16 female patients divided into two groups: an experimental group of eight patients treated by self-ligating bracket systems used as fixed orthodontic appliances combined with a corticision as a minimally invasive surgical technique for accelerating OTM, and a control group of eight patients treated only by self-ligating bracket systems used as fixed orthodontic appliances. The primary outcome was the percentage of change in Little's Index of Irregularity (LII). The secondary outcome was the time taken to finish the leveling and alignment stage.
Results: In a comparison of the percentage of change in LII for the upper arch between the two groups, the experimental group recorded values that were significantly greater than those recorded in the control group at all time intervals T0-T7, except for T8-T10, which were similar. Both groups recorded (100 ± 0%), with no significant difference between groups ( = 1).
Conclusion: The combination of two methods for acceleration of OTM, a self-ligating bracket system combined with corticision, accelerates the rate of OTM more than in the case of using a self-ligating bracket system only.

Measurement-Based Analysis of a Novel Method for Orthodontic Mandibular Molar Protraction Using an Improved Superelastic Ni-Ti Alloy Wire.

Department of Orthodontic Science, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo, JPN.
Purpose Improved superelastic nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) alloy wires (ISWs) can be used not only for aligning but also for closing the extraction space. The objective of this study was to measure and compare the force and moment generated during mandibular molar protraction using an ISW combined with either short or long hooks under simulated crowded dentition conditions. Materials and methods Assuming crowded dentition following mandibular first premolar extraction, we designed a three-tooth model simulating the canine, the second premolar, and the first molar.

Objectives: To assess and compare treatment effects and treatment time in adolescents with crowded and displaced teeth during and after non-extraction treatments using a passive self-ligating bracket system (PSLB) and a conventional bracket system (CB).
Materials And Methods: Consecutive adolescents (12-17 years old) with crowded and displaced teeth were randomised through computer generated block randomisation in a two-arm parallel-group design, to non-extraction fixed appliance treatment with either PSLB (Damon Q, n = 62) or CB (Victory, n = 70) at four orthodontic clinics. Study models and cephalograms were collected at baseline, post-alignment and post-treatment.
Comparison of Frictional Resistance in Different Orthodontic Wire and Bracket Combination.

Background: For orthodontic tooth movement to be effective, frictional resistance is essential. Treatment results are affected by the frictional forces, which are greatly influenced by the kind of wire and bracket combination. To identify the best orthodontic wire and bracket combination for reducing friction, this research compares the frictional resistance of many combinations.
