Das Damon-Bracket – Ein Review

Zusammenfassung

Unter den zahlreichen selbstligierenden Brackets auf dem Markt wird besonders das Damon-Bracket mit der Behauptung vermarktet, große Vorteile gegenüber anderen Brackets zu haben. Schnellere Nivellierung, kürzere Behandlungsdauer, weniger Termine, weniger Schmerzen und kürzere Arbeitszeit am Zahnarztstuhl werden als Vorzüge angeführt. Ein Review der Literatur zeigt jedoch, dass allein die kürzere Arbeitszeit belegbar ist, während es keine Evidenz für weitere besondere Vorzüge des Damon-Brackets gibt.

Abstract

Among the many self-ligating brackets on the market especially the Damon-bracket is marketed with claims of superiority against other brackets. Faster alignment, shorter treatment duration, less appointments, less pain and shorter chair-side time are presented as advantages of the product. However, a literature review shows that only shorter chair-side time is proven, while there is no evidence for any other specific advantages of the Damon-bracket.
