As a part of her deep commitment to supporting research to improve oral health in orthodontic patients, Dr Claro was involved in a joint research project with visiting researcher Dr Rebecca Ho from Taiwan’s National Yang-Ming University School of Dentistry and Dr Petra Wilder-Smith from the University of California at Irvine. Goal of the study was to determine which orthodontic cement is most resistant to dental plaque accumulation. This is important because, if dental plaque accumulation can be reduced adjacent to orthodontic brackets, your teeth and gums will stay healthier. The study found that the amount of plaque retained varies considerably between cements. By using the best cement for your brackets, we ensure that your mouth remains even healthier throughout orthodontic treatment.
