ChiTuBox

-
  I wanted to share a quick demo video showcasing how easy it is to import 3D objects into  ChiTuBox  and highlight some of its user-friendly features. The video demonstrates: Simple drag-and-drop importing  of 3D models (STL, OBJ, etc.) Intuitive interface  for positioning, scaling, and preparing models Efficient slicing  with customizable settings for optimal print quality ChiTuBox streamlines the workflow, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced users. Let me know if you’d like any additional details or a walkthrough of specific features—I’d be happy to help!

1. Periodontal disease and orthodontic treatment :

Periodontal disease includes gingivitis, alveolar bone loss (periodontitis), and loss of attached gingival support.

The periodontal reaction toward orthodontic appliances depends on multiple
factors, such as:
- Host resistance
- The presence of systemic conditions
- The amount and composition of dental plaque.
- Lifestyle factors, including smoking, can also compromise periodontal support and the negative effects of uncontrolled diabetes on periodontal support. 

Bacteria present in dental plaque are the primary causative agent of periodontal disease .


Orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances is known to induce an increase in the volume of dental plaque. However, fixed orthodontic appliances cause a shift in the type of bacteria .

Therefore, fixed orthodontic treatment may result in localized gingivitis, which rarely progresses to periodontitis.

Orthodontic treatment of patients with active periodontal disease is contraindicated as the risk for further periodontal breakdown is markedly increased (Zachrisson and Alnaes, 1973; Cardaropoli and Gaveglio, 2007)


Complete evaluation of the periodontal status, especially in adult patients, is required and control of the periodontal status is necessary prior to initiation of orthodontic treatment.


Careful examination of the level of attached gingival prior to comprehensive orthodontic treatment is necessary.


The level of attached gingival is measured from the free gingival margin to the mucogingival junction minus the depth of the gingival sulcus.

Dental movement in the labio-lingual direction can be performed within the envelope of the periodontium without harmful effects on the level of attached gingiva.

If an inadequate level of attached gingiva is present prior to orthodontic treatment, a periodontic consultation should be performed, especially if labial movement of the teeth is anticipated.

Some adults develop black triangular spaces between anterior teeth. Open gingival embrasures could occur as a complication in about one third of all adult patients due to the gingival and papillary recession as a process of aging.

It should be discussed with patients before initiating ortho treatment since this may pose esthetics concerns to the patient after removal of appliances.

Understanding Orthodontic Case Complexity for Aligner Treatment Success

    if you are intersted in this article please follow for more readings https://myorthodonticsblogg.blogspot.com/     👈🏻 Assessing the complexity of orthodontic cases is a critical step in ensuring successful aligner treatments. By identifying potential challenges early, dentists can set realistic expectations, minimize refinements, and improve patient satisfaction. This blog explores a systematic approach to evaluating case complexity, treatment predictability, and contraindications for clear aligners. Why Assess Case Complexity? Aligners excel in certain orthodontic corrections but are less predictable for complex movements. A thorough assessment helps: Identify refinement potential  – Plan for additional aligner sets if needed. Optimize treatment plans  – Overengineer movements prone to undercorrection. Avoid unpredictable outcomes  – Modify plans to prioritize achievable results. Enhance patient communication  – Align expectations with...

One of the major components of fixed orthodontic therapy is the choice of wires. Orthodontic wires are defined as devices comprising a wire conforming to the alveolar or dental arch, which is used as an anchorage for correcting irregularities in the position of teeth . Therefore, the aim of the this assignment   was to focus on the differences in the features of wires as well a...
