Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor: An outdated report
We read with some surprise a clinical report by Erdur et al in the June 2016 issue of the AJO-DO . The authors presented a textbook case of adenomatoid odontogenic tumor…
Comprehensive treatment approach for condylar hyperplasia and mandibular crowding with custom lingual braces and 2-jaw surgery
We report on the successful treatment of a 32-year-old woman with condylar hyperplasia and severe mandibular crowding. In addition, her maxilla was canted to the right, her mandibular midline and…
Reprise:Very rapid orthodontic treatment
Year by year more propaganda is circulating among the laymen that it is quite possible and practicable to treat cases of malocclusion successfully and with dispatch within only a few…
Comparison of reconstructed rapid prototyping models produced by 3-dimensional printing and conventional stone models with different degrees of crowding
Introduction Rapid prototyping models can be reconstructed from stereolithographic digital study model data to produce hard-copy casts. In this study, we aimed to compare agreement and accuracy of measurements made…
Transverse dental compensation in relation to sagittal and transverse skeletal discrepancies in skeletal Class III patients
Introduction The purposes of this study were to compare the buccolingual inclinations of the posterior teeth in skeletal Class III patients with and without facial asymmetry with those of skeletal…
Three-dimensional virtual-surgery simulation-assisted asymmetric bilateral mandibular distraction osteogenesis for a patient with bilateral condylar fractures
Introduction Our objective was to report a patient treated with 3-dimensional virtual-surgery simulation-assisted asymmetric bilateral mandibular distraction osteogenesis. Methods A boy (age, 9.5 years) had mandibular hypoplasia and facial asymmetry, induced…
