The present case series demonstrates the efficacy of an 810 nm diode laser for the surgical management of oral soft tissues related to orthodontic treatment. Three orthodontic patients aged 16–23 years underwent operculectomy, ablation of soft-tissue overgrowth over orthodontic appliance and gingivectomy along with gingival recontouring procedures, respectively, using the 810 nm diode laser. In each case, an initiated laser fibre tip was utilised to ablate the tissue at the treatment site by making a light contact with the tissue (average power output = 1–1.6 W, continuous wave emission mode, fibre diameter = 400 µm, spot size = 0.0013 cm2, energy density = 124.9–199.9 J/cm2, irradiance = 796–1273 W/cm2, total energy dose = 300–480 J). The maximum total length of treatment was 300 s (5 min). None of the patients reported any instantaneous or delayed postoperative complications over six months. Utilisation of the 810 nm diode laser for surgical management of oral soft tissues related to orthodontic treatments can be considered safe, effective and justifiable over the conventional scalpel technique; however, it must be performed by trained and experienced clinicians only.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is the preferred imaging method for a comprehensive orthodontic examination. Thanks to the development of this technique, clinicians today can make most accurate measurements without fear of errors associated with projection distortion or localization of landmarks on radiographs. The quality of CBCT images gives to orthodontists the ability to analyze bone structures, teeth (even impacted teeth), and soft tissue in three dimensions. The accuracy of measurements of hard and soft tissues from CBCT images determines the accuracy of diagnosis and treatment planning. A fundamentally new approach has been proposed, which makes it possible to thoroughly study the bone tissue surrounding the tooth at the stages of planning orthodontic treatment. Аnalysis of radiation studies of patients with dentoalveolar anomalies was carried out to select the optimal treatment tactics and to control its effectiveness.

Lingual Retainer

One of the means of maintaining the incisor alignment after orthodontic treatment is by fixed lingual retainer. Over the decade’s various techniques have been advocated for bonding a lingual retainer wire. The most critical step to the orthodontist is stabilization of retainer wire in its stable position to prevent relapse. The purpose of this study is to introduce a custom-made device which is easy to fabricate and stabilizes the retainer wire to the contours of the palatal surface of the teeth without causing any iatrogenic damage to the adjacent soft tissues while bonding.

Introduction. Cleft lips and palates are the most common congenital orofacial anomaly. This type of clefts is the most severe from the orthodontic-surgical therapy aspect. Case report. A female newborn with a complete cleft of the primary and the secondary palate was admitted to the clinic, where a multiple-role orthodontic device was specially designed and applied to primarily manage the closure of the existing cleft and help to improve the suckling ability of the baby. Besides the fact that it allows breastfeeding, it has a significant orthodontic effect, too. Conclusion. Specificity of this device is the lack of extraoral fixation. What can easily be observed is a progressive reduction of the cleft between the separated segments and the premaxilla retrusion. It, thus, allows the creation of much better conditions for further surgical management of the said defect.
