Comparing the accuracy of direct versus a new technique of indirect bracket placement- A clinical trial
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction Aim of the study was to compare the accuracy of bracket placement between direct and new indirect bonding technique in following aspects a occlusogingival bracket position vertical b mesiodistal bracket position horizontal c Angulation of bracketsMaterials and Methods 10 patients were bonded with splitmouth approach For each patient two randomly selected opposite quadrants were used as indirect bonding quadrant and the other two as direct bonding quadrant drawing 20 samples The occlusogingival mesiodistal bracket position accuracy in both direct and the new indirect bonding technique were measured using digital caliper and the angulations of brackets were measured with the help of photographs and surface protractor softwareResults results showed statistical difference between direct and a new indirect bonding technique Proving indirect bonding is more accurate than the direct bonding of bracesConclusion There is difference between mean bracket placement errors for direct and indirect methods the range of errors in the three directions assessed were greater for direct than indirect bracket placement The magnitudes of the findings are of clinical relevanceKeywords Direct bonding Indirect bonding Surface protractor software
