Abstract
JAIMES-MONROY, Gustavo et al. Mechanical and non-mechanical orthodontic procedures in relapse and retention: scoping review. Rev Fac Odontol Univ Antioq [online]. 2020, vol.32, n.2, pp.82-96. ISSN 0121-246X. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.rfo.v32n2a8.
Introduction:
stability after orthodontic treatment is an important goal for orthodontists. This issue has been highly important in orthodontics, so its progress and content require constant analysis.
Methods:
a panoramic and analytical review of citations and keywords from Web of Science helped create a body of information on the current advances in research on this field.
Results:
several fields of research arise from the analysis, dealing with surgery as an approach, molecular concepts, orthodontists’ experiences in professional practice, and the use of lasers and other applications.
Conclusions:
information on relapse and retention within orthodontics is still valid and requires further research on current issues to understand this complex phenomenon for both academia and clinical use.
Keywords : orthodontics; literature review as topic; orthodontic appliances; orthodontic retainers.
