Teeth

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...

Fractures: Bone Repair

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the...

Area of Science:

Orthodontics
Dental Surgery

Background:

Orthodontic treatment duration is a significant patient concern.
Accelerated techniques aim to reduce overall treatment time.

Purpose of the Study:

Investigate trends in fixed appliance and accelerated orthodontics for reducing treatment duration.
Assess the impact of demographic factors on treatment modality choices.

Main Methods:

Cross-sectional, questionnaire-based online survey of 265 orthodontists.
Data analyzed using Chi-square test based on gender, education, and experience.
Response rate of 85.2%.

Main Results:

Biomechanical (66.8%) and surgical (27.4%) approaches are favored for reducing treatment time.
Sliding mechanics (69.4%) and one-step retraction (66.3%) are common.
MBT (51.7%) and Roth (41.1%) bracket prescriptions prevail; conventional brackets preferred over self-ligating.

Conclusions:

Orthodontists prioritize biomechanical and surgical strategies to shorten treatment duration.
Gender and clinical experience influence treatment choices.
