ABSTRACT

The clinical efficacy was investigated between Damon™ 3 self-ligating (SLB) and Mini Diamond conventional-ligating brackets (CLB) of the straight-wire fixed orthodontic therapy on the tooth movement during canine retraction stage. Twenty patients, age between 14 and 30 years old were randomized into 2 groups: ten patients received Damon™ 3 SLB and another ten patients received Mini Diamond CLB. A transpalatal arch soldered to both maxillary first molar bands was constructed for each patient and cemented before the extraction of the maxillary first premolars. The canine retraction was commenced on a 0.018” stainless steel archwire by attaching a Nickel-Titanium close coil spring from the canine bracket to the molar band for three consecutive visits of 4 weeks interval (T0, T1, T2 and T3). Tooth movements were determined by subtracting the present measurement from the previous ones using a digital caliper on a study model. Statistical analysis showed that there was no difference (p>0.05) in canine retraction between Damon™ 3 and Mini Diamond brackets. The Damon™ 3 and Mini Diamond brackets have same efficacy in tooth movement.

ABSTRAK

Keberkesanan klinikal dikaji antara braket Swa-ikatan DamonTM 3 dan ikatan konvensional Mini Diamond (CLB) daripada terapi ortodontik menggunakan wayar lurus pada pergerakan gigi semasa tahap penarikan gigi taring. Dua puluh pesakit, berumur antara 14 dan 30 tahun dirawak menjadi dua kumpulan, sepuluh pesakit menerima braket Swa-ikatan Damon™ 3 dan sepuluh pesakit lainnya ikatan konvensional Mini Diamond (CLB). Satu lengkung transpalatal dipateri ke atas kedua-dua gegelang besi geraham pertama maksilari, dibina untuk setiap pesakit dan disimen sebelum penarikan geraham pertama maksilari. Penarikan gigi taring menggunakan wayar lengkung keluli nirkarat 0.018” dengan melekatkan spring Nikel-Titanium pada gigi taring ke gegelang besi geraham selama tiga temu janji berterusan dalam masa 4 minggu (T0, T1, T2 dan T3). Pergerakan gigi ditentukan dengan menghitung perbezaan dari pembacaan jarak sekarang dengan sebelumnya menggunakan kaliper digital pada model gigi. Analisis statistik menunjukkan bahawa tidak ada perbezaan signifikan (p>0.05) dalam penarikan gigi taring antara braket DamonTM 3 dan Mini Diamond. Braket Damon™ 3 and Mini Diamond mempunyai keberkesanan yang sama dalam pergerakan gigi.
