Introduction The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) application after interproximal stripping on enamel surface structures in vivo. Methods Fifteen patients with…
Introduction Primary stability is essential to the success of orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs) and heavily depends on the mechanical retention between OMIs and their supporting bone. Alveolar cortical bone commonly serves…
Introduction The aims of this study were to determine the effects of different concentrations of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on alveolar bone density and orthodontic tooth movement. Methods Seventy-six rats were…
Introduction In this study, we aimed to assess the relationship between normative and perceived orthodontic treatment need associated with quality of life, self-esteem, and self-perception. Methods The sample included 248…
Introduction The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) in fixed lingual retention as an alternative to stainless steel. Methods Exploratory Y-TZP specimens were…
Introduction Class III malocclusion affects between 5% and 15% of our population. The 2 most common dilemmas surrounding Class III treatment are the timing of treatment and the type of…
Introduction The objectives of this 2-arm parallel trial were to compare the numbers of failures of mandibular fixed retainers bonded with indirect and direct methods and to investigate the posttreatment…

An article on dentofacial development and early mandibular incisor crowding in the August 2016 issue was done in an excellent manner; especially, the statistical part of the study was so…
Phase 1 and phase 2 orthodontic treatment may be framed as early vs late orthodontic treatment and the methodology chosen based on the goals of treatment. The quandary may be…
When the editorial entitled “One phase or two, and Buridan’s paradox” was written, it was intended to point out that there was good evidence to support early treatment performed to…
We want to thank you for your valuable comments on our article (El-Timamy AM, El-Sharaby FA, Eid FH, Mostafa YA. Three-dimensional imaging for indirect-direct bonding. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop…
We agree that the term “hybrid” is appropriate if the dentition is used with the implants for anchorage for the expansion force. However, this does not mean that incorporating the…
We read with interest the article on 3-dimensional (3D) imaging for indirect-direct bonding in the June issue (El-Timamy AM, El-Sharaby FA, Eid FH, Mostafa YA. Three-dimensional imaging for indirect-direct bonding….
