Tying twin brackets.

Abstract

To achieve orthodontic tooth movement, archwires must be tied to the bracket slots. Metal or elastic ligatures are used for this purpose, and the way they are tied affects tooth movement. Because of their design, twin brackets can be tied in a large variety of ways. Knowing how to use all the bracket's resources makes for better and faster treatment results.

New surgical obturator prosthesis for hemimaxillectomy patients.

Many materials have been used to make immediate and intermediate obturator prostheses for the hemimaxillectomy patient. The weight of the obturator prosthesis is a major hindrance. A new thermoplastic material, Polysar, is described to create a hollow obturator extension for immediate and intermediate lightweight obturator prostheses.
