Abstract

Objectives: The aims of the present study were to establish the cephalometric norms for Iraqi sample fromBasrah city and to study the sexual dimorphism.Materials and Methods: Fifty dental students having normal occlusion were recruited and examinedclinically then digital true lateral cephalometric X-rays were taken and analyzed using Smile streamsoftware. Mean values and standard deviations were obtained and unpaired t-test was applied to assess thegenders difference.Results: Most of the skeleto-dental measurements lie within the normal range with almost proclinedmandibular incisors and no significant gender differences.Conclusions: Assessing the skeleto-dental relationships is far important to arrange accurate diagnosis andtreatment planning for orthodontic and orthognathic cases.

Abstract

Background: Special consideration for the elastomeric chains must be paid in order to prevent their contamination. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of Bio-sanitizer S1 in disinfection the contaminated elastomeric chains.  Materials and methods: Three types of elastomeric chains of short types from three companies were utilized in this study. The as-received elastomeric chains were checked for bacterial and fungal growth using Blood, MacConkey and Sabouraud dextrose agars. Elastomeric chains contaminated by saliva of orthodontic patients were checked for bacterial and fungal growth using the same media. After disinfecting the contaminated elastomeric chains, they were cultured again in the same agars to test the efficacy of Bio-sanitizer S1 as compared to chlorhexidine 0.2%. One-way ANOVA test was used for comparison. Results: As-received elastomeric chains from all companies were free from bacterial and fungal contaminations. The contaminated chains had no growth at all after disinfection with Bio-sanitizer S1 and chlorhexidine. Conclusions: Bio-sanitizer S1 acts as efficacious as chlorhexidine in disinfecting the contaminated elastomeric chains with the disadvantages of longer immersion time associated with the latter.Keywords: Elastomeric chain, disinfection, colony forming units.
