  • Engaging Adolescents in Treatment
    Engaging Adolescents in Treatment “Assisting adolescents to reflect on their current situation and experiences and helping them to envision a positive future may promote motivation to change, especially among those who have ‘been there, done that’ and are willing to look ahead.” Janet C. Titus, Susan H. Godley, and Michelle K. White A Post-Treatment Examination of Adolescents’ Reasons for Starting, Quitting, and Continuing the Use of Drugs and Alcohol To successfully identify and treat adolescents with traumatic stress and substance abuse, clinicians must continually explore better ways to encourage their participation in treatment. This is particularly important in mental health and substance abuse service systems, where these teens present a unique set of challenges. Adolescents with both traumatic stress and substance abuse often have complex histories and numerous additional problems that make them particularly difficult to treat. Although empirically-based treatment interventions offer adolescents a good chance of success in overcoming a variety of psychological problems, many youth fail to obtain treatment, and those who enter treatment often terminate prematurely. Clinicians who work with adolescents encounter a series of challenges when trying to engage youth who have histories of traumatic stress and substance abuse. Most adolescents do not enter treatment voluntarily and are often apprehensive about the process. Furthermore, substance abusing adolescents, much like their adult counterparts, often have a hard time making positive changes in their use patterns. To provide effective services, these challenges and barriers must be addressed. Identifying and Encouraging Youth to Seek Help Teens tend not to seek out professional help for a variety of reasons.

  • Friction Produced by Types of Elastomeric Ligatures in Treatment Mechanics with the Preadjusted Appliance
    Angle Orthodontist, Vol 76, 211 No 2, 2006 Original Article Friction Produced by Types of Elastomeric Ligatures in Treatment Mechanics with the Preadjusted Appliance Tiziano Baccettia,b; Lorenzo Franchic,d ABSTRACT The objective was to compare the frictional forces generated by new nonconventional passive elastomeric ligatures (NCL) and conventional elastomeric ligatures (CL) under dry conditions. An experimental model reproducing the right buccal segment of the upper arch and consisting of five stainless steel 0.022-inch preadjusted brackets (from the second premolar through the central incisor) was used to assess both static and kinetic frictional forces produced by NCL and CL. The frictional forces generated by the 0.019 X 0.025–inch stainless steel wire with the two types of elastomeric ligatures were recorded by sliding the wire into the aligned brackets. The friction produced by the 0.014-inch superelastic nickel titanium wire was evaluated both in the presence of aligned brackets and of three-mm misaligned canine bracket. The amount of both static and kinetic frictions were minimal (<10 g) in the NCL group in the presence of aligned brackets with both types of wires, whereas it ranged from a minimum of 95.6 g for the 0.014-inch superelastic nickel titanium wire to a maximum of 590.7 g for the 0.019 X 0.025–inch stainless steel wire when using CL. The amount of both static and kinetic frictions in the presence of a misaligned canine bracket in the NCL group were less than half of that shown by the CL group. A recently developed passive ligature system is able to produce significantly lower levels of frictional forces in vitro when compared with conventional elastomeric modules.
