    Comparison of the effects of rapid maxillary expansion and surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion in the sagittal, vertical and transverse planes
    (Medicina Oral S L, 2012) Gungor, Ahmet-Yalcin; Turkkahraman, Hakan; Baykul, Timucin; Alkis, Huseyin
    Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and surgically assisted RME (SARME) in the sagittal, vertical, and transverse planes. Study design: Orthodontic records of 28 patients were selected retrospectively and divided into two treatment groups. Group 1 comprised 14 patients (4 boys, 10 girls, mean age 14.2 +/- 0.74 years) who had been treated with RME. Group 2 comprised 14 patients (4 boys, 10 girls, mean age 19.6 +/- 2.73 years) who had been treated with SARME. Measurements were performed on lateral and posteroanterior cephalograms and dental casts obtained before (T0) and after (T1) expansion. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in soft tissue convexity angle, anterior face height, and upper nasal width in group 1, and in U1-NA length and posterior face height measurements in group 2 (P<.05). In both groups significant increases were found in interpremolar, intermolar, maxillary, and lower nasal widths and in anterior lower face height (P<.01). Statistically significant intergroup differences were found in the ANB angle (P<.05) and maxillary intercanine (P<.01) measurements. Conclusion: With both RME and SARME, successful expansion of maxillary dentoalveolar structures and nasal cavity and palatal widening were achieved. Sagittal plane effects of SARME were similar to those of RME on dental skeletal and airway measurements.

    Effects of different intracoronal bleaching methods on shear bond strengths of orthodontic brackets
    (E H Angle Education Research Foundation, Inc, 2012) Gungor, Ahmet Yalcin; Ozcan, Erhan; Alkis, Huseyin; Turkkahraman, Hakan
    Objective: To evaluate the effects of different intracoronal bleaching methods on the shear bond strengths (SBS) of orthodontic brackets. Materials and Methods: Sixty freshly extracted mandibular incisors were randomly divided into four groups (n = 15 per group). After filling the root canals, root fillings were removed 2 mm apical to the cementoenamel junction, and a 2-mm-thick layer of zinc-phosphate cement base was applied. Group 1 served as the control. Intracoronal bleaching was performed with hydrogen peroxide (Opalacence Endo, Ultradent products Inc, South Jordan, Utah) in group 2, sodium perborate (Sultan Healthcare, Englewood, NJ) in group 3, and 37% carbamide peroxide (Whiteness Super Endo, Dentscare, Itda, Joinville, Brazil) in group 4. Orthodontic brackets were bonded with a light cure composite resin and cured with an LED light. After bonding, the SBS of the brackets was tested with a Universal testing machine. Results: Analysis of variance indicated a significant difference between groups (P < .001). The highest values for SBS were measured in group 1 (10.15 +/- 1.15 MPa). The SBS was significantly lower in groups 2,3, and 4 than in group 1 (P < .001). The lowest values for SBS were measured in group 3 (6.17 +/- 0.85 MPa). SBS was significantly higher in group 4 than in group 3 (P < .05). Conclusions: Intracoronal bleaching significantly affected the SBS of orthodontic brackets on human enamel. Bleaching with sodium perborate affects SBS more adversely than does bleaching with other agents. (Angle Orthod. 2012;82:942-946.)
