Oral Bacteria Database, Crowding and Orthodontic Anchorage
Are you still Struggling with Reinforcing Orthodontic Anchorage ?
If you please read this excellent study(AJODO Volume 133, Issue 3, March 2008, Pages 339.e19-339.e28) which clearly shows that there is anchorage loss with Head Gear, and Palatal Arches are virtually of very poor anchorage value. But Orthodontics implants (microimplants) provide you stable anchorage and hence are of great value in maximum anchorage cases. See Details HERE
Results: The maxillary molars were stable during the leveling/aligning in the Onplant, Orthosystem implant, and headgear groups, but the transpalatal bar group had anchorage loss (mean, 1.0 mm; P <.001). During the space-closure phase, the molars were still stable in the Onplant and Orthosystem groups, whereas the headgear and transpalatal bar groups had anchorage loss (means, 1.6 and 1.0 mm, respectively; P <.001). Thus, the Onplant and the Orthosystem implant groups had significantly higher success rates for anchorage than did the headgear and transpalatal bar groups. Compared with the Orthosystem implant, there were more technical problems with the Onplant. Conclusions: If maximum anchorage is required, the Orthosystem implant is the system of choice.

First Comprehensive Database Of Human Oral Microbiome Launched By Scientists
This is an excellent resource for those interested to learn more on oral microbes. The free online compendium is called the Human Oral Microbiome Database (HOMD). The database has gone live as the digital equivalent of an Oxford dictionary of oral microorganisms, providing detailed biological entries for each species and an extensive catalogue of the thousands of genes that these microbes express. The site is located at http://www.homd.org and is overseen by scientists at The Forsyth Institute in Boston and King's College London in England. Full news release of this topic HERE.
Are you the Culprit for post treatment relapse of incisor crowding ?
The development of mandibular incisor crowding appears to be a continuous process throughout life, but more evidence is needed to understand why changes occur, points a latest quality research published in AJODO in March 08 issue by Susan Eslambolchi etal.
Results: There were no statistically significant (P >.01) differences between the sexes for the variables measured. Little’s irregularity index continued to increase in all groups (P <.01), although this rate appeared to be lower in the parent group. Intercanine and interfirst premolar widths and arch lengths continued to decrease with age. Conclusions: These results underline the importance of studies showing that untreated dentitions change over time. Orthodontic patient education is imperative about retention protocols and late developmental crowding. Full abstract HERE
