Sliding is in the manner of tipping and uprighting with increasing angle between bracket and wire. Recently, wire coating with the different nanoparticles has been proposed to decrease the frictional forces. The present study was done to coat the stainless steel wires with the ZnO nanoparticles and determine the effect of this coating on friction reduction during different angle between the wires and brackets.
<strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> Eighty pieces of 0.016 stainless steel wires with and without zinc oxide nanoparticles were used in 80 pieces of orthodontic brackets (0.018). The coated wires analyzed by the SEM and XRD observations. Friction between the wires and orthodontic brackets at 0,5,10 degree angle were calculated using universal testing machine. Two and three group comparisons were done by means of Student t and one-way ANOVA respectively and Tukey post hoc test was used to assess the paired comparisons. <br /><strong>Results:</strong> Frictional values were significantly increased with the increased angles between the wire and bracket. The increased friction force from 0 to 10 degree in uncoated wires were Statistically more significant than increased friction force from 0 to 10 degree in coated wires (p<0.005).<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> considering the positive effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles coating in decreasing frictional forces, they might offer a novel opportunity to significantly reduce friction during sliding and consequent better anchorage control, reduced risk of root resorption.https://www.ijorth.com/article_247737_d0704ef931daddf69762e88012de7b8d.pdfIranian Association of OrthodontistsIranian Journal of Orthodontics1735-50876120110601Oral appliances treatment for obstructive sleep apnea81424774710.22034/ijo.2011.247747ENTahere Hossein Zadeh NikProfessor, Tehran Medical University, Dentistry FacultyFariba Esmaeilnia ShirvaniPost graduate student, Orthodontics department, Tehran Medical

It is caused by the repeated collapse or narrowing of the pharyngeal walls due to <br />partial or complete obstruction of the upper airway. Treatment for sleep apnea include weight loss, <br />keeping off alcohol, positional therapy, oral appliances, continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Oral <br />appliances have proven to be useful, noninvasive and easy to use. Patients prefer oral appliances and <br />mandibular advancement appliances to CPAP.

Tehran, IranJournal Article20211204<strong>Aim:</strong> the prevalence of maxillary missing lateral incisor (MMLI) is 1-2% which is responsible for 20% of all missing teeth. Increased knowledge of causes and clinical manifestations of cases with this situation can be helpful in their diagnosis and treatment planning. The aim of the present study was to determine dental and skeletal features of patients with missing of maxillary lateral incisors. <br /><strong>Materials and methods:</strong> The material consisted of pre-treatment dental casts and cephalograms of 26 patients (14 females and 12 males with average age of 17.5) with unilateral or bilateral MMLI. The following parameters were measured on the dental casts: the maxillary and mandibular intercanine width (ICW) and intermolar width (IMW), overjet, overbite, missing or anomalous of other teeth. Parameters that were measured on cephalogram including: SNA, SNB and ANB angle and Wits. The parameters were finally compared to a control group with normal occlusion by means of paired t-test. <br /><strong>Results:</strong> Eight subjects out of 26 patients with MMLI had bilateral missing and from 18 subjects with unilateral missing, 66.67% (12 subjects) had lateral missing on the right side. MMLI was associated with other anomalous or congenital tooth absence in 12 subjects. In comparison with control group, the overjet was significantly lesser (p<0.05) and upper and lower ICW were smaller. Both ANB angle and Wits were significantly decreased in lateral missing group ((p<0.05).
<strong>Conclusion:</strong> Missing of maxillary lateral incisor was highly correlated with other tooth anomalies. Most of patient with this situation had skeletal and dental Class III tendency.https://www.ijorth.com/article_247749_0b55498c58df1e09c78744910feaa90f.pdfIranian Association of OrthodontistsIranian Journal of Orthodontics1735-50876120110601Estimation of nasal cavity volume by coordinates222624775010.22034/ijo.2011.247750ENShahriar ShahabAssistant Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial radiology ,

<strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> Ten CBCT images were studied in the coronal plane and the 4-mm thick sections were selected between Anterior and Posterior Nasal Spine. Real estimation of nasal cavity volume was computed using Cavalieri principle in conjunction with planimetry method. The outline of each slice was digitized and the resulted surface area was computed by AutoCAD software. In alternative method, a surface area estimate was measured by multiplying maximum width and maximum height in each slice. The sum of slices area in each method was named as Total Nasal Cavity Area (TNCA). Nasal cavity volume = TNCA × thickness of tomography slice. TNCA1 based on planimetry method, was compared with TNCA2 using to coordinates with linear regression analysis.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> Regression analysis showed a powerful correlation between two methods measurements (r = 0.951). The following formula was proposed for volume estimation using the coordinate method: TNCA1 = 85.6±1.53 TNCA2.
<strong>Conclusions:</strong> In this pilot study, we substituted successfully two linear measurements instead of planimetry to estimate nasal cavity volume. This may help investigators to overcome inherent problems appearing in measurements of nasal cavity volume. https://www.ijorth.com/article_247750_1c1f84ff7f9a01c09a4b7b6f4b781b05.pdfIranian Association of OrthodontistsIranian Journal of Orthodontics1735-50876120110601Anterior teeth torque and posterior anchorage need in anterior retraction: 3D analysis using finite element method273124775110.22034/ijo.2011.247751ENAllahyar GeramyProfessor, Dental Research center, Tehran University of Medical

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of anterior teeth labiolingual inclination on the amount of anchorage loss and distance of anterior retraction.<br /><strong>Methods and Materials:</strong> Six 3D computer models of an upper anterior segment were designed in SolidWorks 2006 (SolidWorks, Concord, Massachusetts, USA).The models contained supporting structure, upper central and lateral incisors, their PDLs, the brackets and an anterior retraction arch wire with two vertical open loops. The models were the same except for the torque of anterior teeth which were 0, 5, 10, 15, 22, and 35 degrees consequently. ANSYS Workbench Version 12.1 (ANSYS Inc., Southpointe, Canonsburg, PA, USA) was selected for the analysis. At each analysis, the end points of the arch wire were displaced distally simulating the anterior retraction arch wire activation. The displacement produced in the labio-mesio-incisal point angle and the mesializing force applied to the terminal molar was assessed.<br /><strong>Results:</strong> Torque degree of 0 to 22 exerting almost equal force on anchorage unit during retraction while 35 degrees of torque causing more reciprocal force. Ten degrees of anterior torque resulted in maximum displacement of anterior segment.<br /><strong>Conclusions:</strong> To have maximum anchorage and faster anterior teeth movement during retraction degree of torque suggested to be about average and neither too protruded nor uprighted.https://www.ijorth.com/article_247751_12b88bf0fd1ab9613248b4e400d36224.pdfIranian Association of OrthodontistsIranian Journal of Orthodontics1735-50876120110601Efficacy of three Disinfectants on Alginate Impressions323624775210.22034/ijo.2011.247752ENAbdolreza JamilianAssociate professor, Fellow of Orthognathic surgery, Department

This might be used for repair of human periodontal defects in future.<br /><strong>Method:</strong> periodontal tissues were obtained from periodontium of patients who were candidate for periodontal surgery. They were 25-45 years old and had no systemic diseases, no smoking, and no drug treatment. Tissues were cultured in DMEM medium. Cells were by subsequently expanded by passages. 3 passages were done. Then cells were evaluated by inverted microscope and flowcytometry. We stained PDLstem cells with these markers: CD44, CD90 CD166,CD13, CD34,CD45 .<br /><strong>Finding:</strong> PDL stem cells expressed MCSCs markers as shown in flowcytometry. The cells were negative by CD34 and CD45 markers and were positive by CD90, CD166, CD13, and CD44 markers .We saw a monolayer attached cells on the floor of flask macroscopically and we saw spindle cells by inverted microscope. In the microscopic finding we saw nuclear red calcified view with Alizarine staining in day 14th of culture.<br /><strong>Conclusion:</strong> Our findings show that human PDL contains a population of multypotent postnatal stem cells can be isolated and expanded in vitro. It provides a reservoir of stem cells from an accessible tissue resource. These cells have capacity of proliferation ex vivo. Therefore tissue regeneration mediated by human PDL stem cells might have potency of practical cellular- based treatment of periodontal defects. https://www.ijorth.com/article_247753_f1822a377768d2635155ea73ca5320b5.pdfIranian Association of OrthodontistsIranian Journal of Orthodontics1735-50876120110601Formation of supernumerary tooth one year after enucleation of adjacent dentigerous cyst in a 9-years-old boy434724775410.22034/ijo.2011.247754ENGholamreza ShiraniAssistant professor, Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

The prevalence of this event is 1-3% with different prevalence for primary and permanent dentition. Supernumerary teeth may cause various clinical problems including: delayed or failure of eruption, displacement or rotation of permanent teeth and cyst formation. The purpose of this study was to present the case of a 9-year-old boy who had a large dentigerous cyst around his primary mandibular left premolar that was enucleated with the tooth. A year after this enucleation, we have observed a supernumerary tooth in mesial of canine. It is a reasonable question that “can the supernumerary tooth formation relate to the dentigerous cyst around impacted tooth?” Therefore, it is necessary to perform more pathological investigation in this aspect to answer this question.https://www.ijorth.com/article_247754_4018a3b33664253c1abb9bade7535717.pdfIranian Association of OrthodontistsIranian Journal of Orthodontics1735-50876120110601An overview on dental arch form and different concepts on arch coordination in orthodontics485724775510.22034/ijo.2011.247755ENAtefe Saffar ShahroudiPost graduate student, Orthodontics Department, School of

University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, IranJournal Article20211204One of the most important characteristic of dentition is dental arch form. In orthodontic treatment, it is crucial to understand each individual dental arch for diagnosis and treatment planning and try to preserve it throughout the treatment to achieve a higher stability. Additionally, it is important to maintain a wellestablished coordination between maxillary and mandibular dental arch to have a perfect functional occlusion. In orthodontics up to now, different definitions have been proposed for human dental arch form and methods for coordinating dental arches. The aim of this study was to gather and compare these concepts. The available data were categorized and discussed in five different domains: Arch Form (history and recent concepts), Factors affecting dental arch form, Characterization of arch form, Coordination of upper and lower arches and arch wire selection and arch form.https://www.ijorth.com/article_247755_5ab138e1fedc8626222cedc900ce1d9e.pdfIranian Association of OrthodontistsIranian Journal of Orthodontics1735-50876120110601A Study on Motivation of Patients Coming to Specialized Orthodontic Clinics for Treatment586624775610.22034/ijo.2011.247756ENParviz PadisarAssociate Professor of Orthodontics, School of
