Our recent study published on selecting the correct shade. It's the key to success for any prosthesis, especially in the aesthetic zone. Variations of shade in a single tooth or the polychromatic nature of a tooth can impose greater challenges in shade matching. Therefore, it would be best if it is taught during the undergraduate course in dental schools. #Prosthodontics #Research #DentalStudents Manav Rachna Dental College

Your eyes are a precious tool: we really need them! I need your help. Just 3 minutes, not more... Sometimes, orthodontic fixed retainers go really wild: -They initiate tooth movement even if they should do the opposite: avoid it! -They slowly and silently create a complex malocclusion. -Complex orthodontic retreatment is often needed. -Costly additional dental procedures might need to be applied. This unwanted secondary effect takes time to be noticeable. We are conducting a research at the University of Geneva. We aim at studying detection of visual threshold in torque changes. We need to increase the number of participants in the study. If you are a dentist, an orthodontist or a hygienist, please give us a hand! Victoire BASTIDE, the student that performs the study will be grateful. We like your "likes" but we love your 3 minutes answers even more!

What is Brava & Why Brava Orthodontics?? Brava by Brius, is a discreet and advanced orthodontic solution designed to correct dental misalignments while keeping your smile’s appearance virtually unchanged. Unlike traditional braces, which are attached to the front of your teeth, brava is placed on the inner surface of your teeth, hidden from view. And unlike clear aligners (e.g. Invisalign), studies have shown more accurate finishes. What sets them apart from traditional braces is their discreet placement on the inner or lingual surface of the teeth, facing the tongue. This positioning makes them virtually invisible from the outside, providing a more aesthetically pleasing option for individuals who wish to undergo orthodontic treatment without the visible appearance of braces on the front of their teeth. Whats exciting is in addition to the Invisibility feature, it achieves excellet torque and yet relatively faster than Aligners! much faster yet perfect torque control! just incredible! Finally theres a favorite in the Orthodontic market for both the Orthodontist & the patient ! Vinay Sharma Bimal A Desai

-A century of Retention Treatment Our concerns about the stability of orthodontic treatment still seem to be the same as those expressed by Calvin Case in 1920: "If there is one part of orthodontia more than another that is absolutely indispensable to the success of this specialty and its establishment upon a firm foundation as one of the arts and sciences, it is the permanent retention of regulated teeth.. what does this temporary pleasure and satisfaction to ourselves and our patients amount to, if we find in a few years that the very cases which create in us the greatest pride, are going back to their former malpositions and disharmonies, in spite of everything we have been able to do with retaining appliances."(1) The most dominant, dynamic, and influential figure in the specialty of orthodontics was Edward Hawley Angle (1855-1930). He is regarded as the "Father of Modern Orthodontics." Through his leadership, orthodontics was separated from the other branches of dentistry (e.g., crown and bridge, prosthetics), and the result was the specialty of orthodontics. He was the first to limit his practice to orthodontics. Hawley said: "If anyone would take my cases when they are finished, retain them and be responsible for them afterward, I would gladly give him half the fee."(2). #permatter #permanentsmile #PermaMatter #digitalretainer #digitalorthodontics #digitalfixedretainer #orthodontics #orthocadcam #fixedretainer #orthodonticretainer #california #newyork #florida #americanassociationoforthodontists #americanortho
