U.S., Feb. 21 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06837168) titled 'Clinical Effectiveness of Cobalt Chromium CAD-CAM Designed Customized Lingual Retainer' on Feb. 03.
Brief Summary: Background:
After orthodontic treatment, teeth tend to shift back to their original positions. To prevent this, orthodontists use fixed or removable retainers. Traditional stainless-steel retainers are effective but may cause unwanted tooth movement or breakage. New technologies, like Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM), allow for customized retainers made from durable materials like chrome cobalt. These retainers may offer better strength, accuracy, and stability. However, clinical evidence comparing CAD...
