“…1 Retention is achieved by placing appliances, called retainers, on the teeth; by undertaking additional or adjunctive procedures; or by applying combination of these techniques. 2 These adjunctive procedures include interproximal stripping or circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy (CSF), which are applied to the teeth or surrounding periodontium to aid the retention process. 1 The conventional CSF technique consists of inserting a surgical blade into the gingival sulcus and severing the epithelial attachment surrounding the involved teeth.…”

Objective: To evaluate and compare the root surface morphological changes after 980-nm diode laser-aided circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy (CSF) on fluorosed and non-fluorosed teeth. Materials and Methods: The sample comprised 27 orthodontic patients (14 males and 13 females; mean age 5 17.3 years) with and without fluorosis, from whom 40 fluorosed and 40 nonfluorosed premolar teeth were extracted for orthodontic reasons. Conventional (control group) and laser-aided (experimental group) CSF was performed on fluorosed and non-fluorosed teeth indicated for orthodontic extraction, using a scalpel and a 980-nm diode laser at 2.5 W power, respectively. Subsequently, teeth were extracted, sectioned, and examined by scanning electron microscope to assess the ultrastructural changes. Results: There were differences in surface morphology among fluorosed and non-fluorosed roots in the control group. The root specimens of both fluorosed and non-fluorosed teeth irradiated by diode laser exhibited no evidence of smear layer, laser-induced pitting or cavitation, linear cuts/ markings, carbonization of surface, and heat-induced surface cracking. However, a glazed or slightly melted appearance was observed in root specimens of fluorosed teeth after diode laser irradiation. Conclusions: These findings suggest that the diode laser-aided CSF procedure is free from thermal hazard on non-fluorosed root surfaces but may provoke some thermal changes on fluorosed root surfaces.

ABSTRACT. Introduction: the objective of this study was to evaluate the periodontal effects of fixed retainers in the long term. Methods: a search in electronic databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Embase, ProQuest, Ebsco, Biomed Central, Medline, Lilacs, and Google Scholar) and a manual search with no language restrictions. The inclusion criteria were: randomized clinical trials and meta-analysis, prospective and retrospective studies, studies in humans, clinical and radiographical studies evaluating the periodontium, performed during the 1987-2014 period, up

“…The literature (1,2) suggests that there is insufficient clinical data on which retention protocols can be based. Although there is an urgent need for high quality randomized controlled trials, the entire recurrence potential of different malocclusions cannot be determined due to ethical reasons.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to identify general retention protocols practiced by Turkish orthodontist and to compare the results obtained with those of similar studies in Western countries. Methods:The Web-based survey consisted of 29 questions: 3 to identify the demographic characteristics of the participants and 26 to examine how orthodontists manage the retention phase. Data was interpreted by descriptive statistical methods such as the median test, the Mann-Whitney U-test and logistic regression analysis. Results:The survey return rate was 73.8%. Pretreatment malocclusion status (87%), oral hygiene status (78%), and presence of third molars (63%) were reported to be the most important factors in determining the type of retainer. Bonded retainers, either alone (29% in maxilla and 34% in mandible) or supplemented with vacuum-formed retainers (27% in maxilla and 32% in mandible) were the most commonly used type of retainer. The preference for lifelong retention varied from 7% to 19%. Female orthodontists scheduled the first appointment after debonding sooner than male orthodontists (p<0.05). Orthodontists working in universities scheduled first appointments later than orthodontists working in private practices (p<0.05). Conclusion:Turkish orthodontists still give importance to the third molars in their retention protocols, contrary to what is suggested in the current literature, and lifetime retention is rarely preferred as compared to other countries. Keywords: Orthodontics, retention protocol INTRODUCTIONOver the years, lots of vital interventions which were not possible earlier have been introduced into the orthodontic realm. These include absolute anchorage and distraction of atrophied alveolar processes. However, retaining the achieved results even after a simple crowding treatment is still a challenge for orthodontists no matter how the fundamental finishing is fulfilled.The literature (1,2) suggests that there is insufficient clinical data on which retention protocols can be based. Although there is an urgent need for high quality randomized controlled trials, the entire recurrence potential of different malocclusions cannot be determined due to ethical reasons. Therefore, attention is redirected towards prevailing approaches, revealed by questionnaires, with the assumption that commonly adopted and deep-seated protocols could be the most beneficial. This being said, widespread approaches use Hawley retainers when the arches are expanded (3-5), and use bonded retainers for non-extraction cases (5-8), alongside an increasing trend towards lifetime retention (5,6,(8)(9)(10)) with bonded and vacuum-formed retainers (VFR), which are gaining popularity among consultants (5-8,10). However, some parameters such as duration of retention (6,8,11), follow-up protocol (9,11), and number of hours a day that removable retainers should be worn (6,8) still vary greatly among clinicians.Hence, the purpose of this first comprehensive survey on retention protocols among Turkish orthodontists was to id...
