Some believe braces are “for children only” but the truth is that there is a higher uptake of orthodontic treatment among adults than ever before! Tooth movement is based on biological and physical manipulation of the teeth and their supporting structures. The movement is a basic healing cycle which is replicated several times during the orthodontic process and is identical in children and adults. For this cyclical healing process to be effective the teeth, the gums and their supporting bones must be healthy. It is never too late to have orthodontic treatment. Whether you are 7 or 70 years old, you can still have a wonderful smile. THE BENEFITS OF HAVING ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT INCLUDE: 4 Good appearance and a great smile. 4 Improved self confidence and psycho-social advantages. > 4 Several options to resolve problems such as crowded or spaced teeth.

  • Disclosing Agents in Periodontics: an Update
    REVIEW ARTICLE DISCLOSING AGENTS IN PERIODONTICS: AN UPDATE Zoya Chowdhary1, Ranjana Mohan2, Vandana Sharma3, Rohit Rai4, Aruna Das5 1.Post graduate student, Department of Periodontology, Teerthankar Mahaveer Dental College & Research Center, Moradabad. 2.Professor and Head, Department of Periodontology, Teerthankar Mahaveer Dental College & Research Center, Moradabad. 3.Assistant Professor, Department of Periodontology, Vyas Dental College, Jodhpur. 4.Assistant Professor, Department of Periodontology,Dental College, Azamgarh. 5.Professor & Head,Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology,Dental College,Azamgarh ABSTRACT Dental plaque, colonies of harmful bacteria which form on tooth surfaces and restorations, cannot be flushed away by simply rinsing with water. Active brushing of the teeth is required to remove the plaque which adheres to tooth surfaces. It is a well-accepted fact that dental plaque, when allowed to accumulate on tooth surfaces, can eventually lead to gingivitis, periodontal disease, caries and calculus. Thus, it is apparent that effective removal of deposits of dental plaque is absolutely essential for oral health. Accordingly, proper oral hygiene practices which may be carried out by an individual on his or her own teeth or by a dentist would be facilitated by readily available means of identification and location of plaque deposits in the oral cavity.

Due to a growing interest in attaining better teeth esthetics, there are more adults seeking Invisalign treatment. Ten percent carbamide peroxide (CP) breaks down to 6.5% urea and 3.5% hydrogen peroxide, which elevates oral pH, removes stains, and diminishes caries by inhibiting plaque for- mation. The aim of this study is to investigate whether 10% CP use during Invisalign treatment can enhance tooth shade esthetics while decreasing plaque levels and improving gingival health indices. Twenty-eight patients at Western University dental center undergoing Invisalign were assigned to two groups where the experimental group applied daily bleaching material (10% CP, Ultradent Inc., South Jordan, UT, USA), while the control group did not for 4 weeks. Tooth shade, plaque index Citation: Seleem, D.; Dadjoo, S.; Ha, (PI), and gingival index (GI) were assessed at baseline and in 2-week intervals for 6 weeks.
