Orthodontic management of ectopic canines is quite challenging and time consuming due to the presence of thin buccal cortical bone. Sectional mechanics provide distal and extrusive force on canine but without any torque control. So, palatal root torquing during canine retraction is needed to increase the buccal cortical bone thickness and to avoid bone dehiscence and gingival recession. This article describes an innovative spring which provides 3-dimensional control by simultaneous retraction, extrusion, and torquing of ectopic canine.

Osteoporosis is a major risk factor for fracture affects an enormous number of people of both genders worldwide. Objectives: To evaluate the shielding effect of omega-3 fatty acids on high salt induced histological findings in femur of rats. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial. Methodology: Female rats (n=30) were divided into three groups. Group A recieved high salt diet (8%NaCl) while group B recieved omega-3-treated salt loaded diet receiving 260 mg/kg body weight with 8% NaCl solution (8 weeks), control group received standard diet. Tissue from mid shaft and proximal end of femur was obtained to study the osteoblast number, mid cortical bone thickness and trabecular bone architecture. Statistical analysis: SPSS software, v 21 analyzed data. Results: Protective effects were seen in Omega-3 fatty acid supplemented experimental group B with increase in osteoblast number, mid cortical bone thickness and increase in microstructure of trabeculae. Conclusion: We concluded that dietary nutrient like omega-3 fatty acid is a helpful tool in eliminating adverse effects of salt on bones by enhancing osteoblastic activity thus reducing its remodeling. Keywords: Bone, Osteoblast, Omega-3 fatty acid, Salt and Trabeculae.

Abstract Background and aimThe aim of this study is to assess the cortical bone thickness and inter-radicular distance between posterior maxillary teeth using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).Methods and materialCone beam computed tomography records of 35 patients (70 quadrants) from maxilla were evaluated. The images were analyzed using NNT viewer Software (Version 23). The measurements were made on axial sections at 2, 4, 6 and 8 mm from the CEJ. The optimal sites were defined in terms of (a) mesiodistal palatal or buccal inter-radicular distance, (b) alveolar cortical bone thickness and (c) palatal or buccal safe depth of bone for mini-screw insertion. Descriptive statistics, paired T-test and repeated measure ANOVA were used to analyze the data.ResultsThe mean buccal inter-radicular distance was lowest between first and second molar (2.44 mm) and highest between first and second premolar (3.28 mm). The mean palatal inter-radicular distance was lowest between first and second premolar (3.64 mm) and highest between second premolar and first molar (5.30 mm).The mean buccal safe depth was lowest between canine and first premolar (1.96 mm) and highest between first and second molar (2.61 mm). The mean palatal safe depth was lowest between second premolar and first molar (3.35 mm) and highest between first and second molar (3.56 mm). The thinnest and thickest buccal cortical thickness was detected on canine and first molar (1.04 mm) and on the second premolar and second molar (1.56 mm). ConclusionThe quantity and quality of the maxillary alveolar process is an important factor to decide where to insert the orthodontic mini screws, necessitating careful preoperative evaluation.

Context: The labial cortical bone may influence the outcomes of several treatments including fresh socket implant placement and orthodontic treatments. A thin labial plate may contribute to increased risks of periodontal consequences during dental procedures. Acknowledgment of the average values may guide clinicians to take particular considerations in making treatment decisions. Therefore, this study aimed to systematically review the labial cortical bone thickness (LBT) in the anterior maxillary teeth. Objective: The primary purpose of this study was to review the LBT in the anterior maxillary teeth to present the range of average LBT in the global population. Evidence Acquisition: An electronic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, ProQuest, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. English studies that measured the LBT in the maxillary anterior teeth using CT or CBCT scans were deemed relevant. Only studies performed on adult patients with a lack of periodontal disease were included. Results: A total of 49 studies were included. Mean LBT ranged 0.13 - 3.08, 0.29 - 4.2, and 0.36 - 4.5 mm in maxillary central incisor, lateral incisor, and canine, respectively. Expectedly, LBT was affected by the vertical level of the measurement point and increased toward the apex. In total, the LBT in the anterior maxilla ranged from 0.13 to 4.5 mm. In comparison with other populations, a relatively thin labial plate was evidenced in the Iranian populations. Conclusions: This study showed a wide range of LBT in the esthetic zone. A thin plate in the esthetic area necessitates caution in orthodontic treatments, particularly when tooth expansion or proclination is required. Additionally, wide ranges of reported values which are mostly under 2 mm, highlight the importance of CBCT acquisition before any fresh socket implant placement.

BackgroundBone parameters derived from HR-pQCT have been investigated on a parameter-by-parameter basis for different clinical conditions. However, little is known regarding the interrelationships of bone parameters and the spatial distribution of these interrelationships. In this work: 1) we investigate compartmental interrelationships of bone parameters; 2) assess the spatial distribution of interrelationships of bone parameters; and 3) compare interrelationships of bone parameters between postmenopausal women with and without a recent Colles’ fracture.MethodsImages from the unaffected radius in fracture cases (n=84), and from the non-dominant radius of controls (n=98) were obtained using HR-pQCT. Trabecular voxel-based maps of local bone volume fraction (L.Tb.BV/TV), homogenized volumetric bone mineral density (H.Tb.BMD), homogenized μFEA-derived strain energy density (H.Tb.SED), and homogenized inter-trabecular distances (H.Tb.1/N) were generated; as well as surface-based maps of apparent cortical bone thickness (Surf.app.Ct.Th), porosity-weighted cortical bone thickness (Surf.Ct.SIT), mean cortical BMD (Surf.Ct.BMD), and mean cortical SED (Surf.Ct.SED). Anatomical correspondences across the parametric maps in the study were established via spatial normalization to a common template. Mean values of the parametric maps before spatial normalization were used to assess compartmental Spearman’s rank partial correlations of bone parameters (e.g., between H.Tb.BMD and L.Tb.BV/TV or between Surf.Ct.BMD and Surf.app.Ct.Th). Spearman’s rank partial correlations were also assessed for each voxel and vertex of the spatially normalized parametric maps, thus generating maps of Spearman’s rank partial correlation coefficients. Correlations were performed independently within each group, and compared between groups using the Fisher’s Z transformation.ResultsAll within-group global trabecular and cortical Spearman’s rank partial correlations were significant; and the correlations of H.Tb.BMD–L.Tb.BV/TV, H.Tb.BMD–H.Tb.1/N, L.Tb.BV/TV–H.Tb.1/N, Surf.Ct.BMD–Surf.Ct.SED and Surf.Ct.SIT–Surf.Ct.SED were significantly different between controls and fracture cases. The spatial analyses revealed significant heterogeneous voxel- and surface-based correlation coefficient maps across the distal radius for both groups; and the correlation maps of H.Tb.BMD–L.Tb.BV/TV, H.Tb.BMD–H.Tb.1/N, L.Tb.BV/TV–H.Tb.1/N, H.Tb.1/N–H.Tb.SED and Surf.app.Ct.Th - Surf.Ct.SIT yielded small clusters of significant correlation differences between groups.DiscussionThe heterogeneous spatial distribution of interrelationships of bone parameters assessing density, microstructure, geometry and biomechanics, along with their global and local differences between controls and fracture cases, may help us further understand different bone mechanisms of bone fracture.

Background: To determine the optimal implantation site of orthodontic micro-screws based on cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis in the mandibular anterior tooth region, provide a theoretical basis for orthodontic implant placement and improve post-implantation stability.Methods: Forty patients who underwent CBCT scanning were selected for this study. CBCT scanning was applied to measure the interradicular distance, buccolingual dimension, labial cortical bone thickness and lingual cortical bone thickness between mandibular anterior teeth at planes 2, 4, 6, and 8 mm below the alveolar ridge crest. The data were measured and collected to obtain a comprehensive evaluation of the specific site conditions of the alveolar bone.Results: The interradicular distance, buccolingual dimension and labial cortical bone thickness between the mandibular anterior teeth were positively correlated with the distance below the alveolar ridge crest (below 8 mm). The interradicular distance, buccolingual dimension, labial cortical bone thickness, and lingual cortical bone thickness were all greater than those in other areas between the lateral incisor root and canine incisor root 4, 6, and 8 mm below the alveolar ridge crest.Conclusion: The area between the lateral incisor root and the canine incisor root in planes 4, 6, and 8 mm from the alveolar ridge crest can be used as safe sites for implantation, while 8 mm below the alveolar ridge crest can be the optimal implantation site. An optimal implantation site can be 8 mm below the alveolar ridge crest between the lateral incisor root and the canine incisor root.
