Furthermore, there is an association between the discrepancy of lengths of implant?supported single crowns to their contralateral natural teeth and esthetic satisfaction for all expertise levels.

Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence-Digital as an oral hygiene evaluation tool to assess plaque accumulation and enamel demineralization in orthodontics.

CONCLUSIONS: ? Quantitative Light-induced Fluorescence-Digital can be used to detect and monitor demineralization and plaque during orthodontics.
