The diagnosis of an impacted incisor with dilaceration refers to a dental deformity characterized by an angulation between the crown and the root, causing noneruption of the incisor. In the…
Introduction In this study, we examined displacement (labiopalatal and mesiodistal) and angulation of unerupted permanent maxillary canines on either side in children (n = 49) aged between 10 and 12…
Introduction Previous studies have suggested that, although orthodontic residents prefer to be live and interactive in a seminar, they learn almost as much when watching a previously recorded interactive seminar…
Root damage is a significant complication of orthodontic miniscrew implant placement. Although root damage is rare, its proper management should be clearly understood by practitioners. This article reports the iatrogenic…
Introduction This study was performed to estimate the effects of risedronate on mandibular bone density, bone structure, and bone metabolism in established glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in growing rats. Methods The rats…
A 23-year-old woman with a skeletal Class III relationship, a normal vertical jaw relationship, and missing maxillary lateral incisors was treated with bidimensional fixed edgewise appliance therapy combined with orthognathic…
Thank you for your interest in our article and for agreeing with the overall idea that the severity of the associated dentoskeletal discrepancies and the patient’s needs should be the…
Introduction Our objective was to determine which factors were predictive of good long-term outcomes after fixed appliance treatment of Class II Division 1 malocclusion. Methods Two hundred seven patients with…
The goal of this report was to illustrate new treatment mechanics for using microimplants for the treatment of a Class II Division 2 deepbite malocclusion. A 29-year-old woman with a…
Tom Matthews Dr Thomas M. Matthews died on December 27, 2010, at the age of 91. Dr Matthews, along with Drs Robert Gaylord and Tom Williams, established the orthodontic department…

Introduction Identification of the dental arch form of the orthodontic patient is a key aspect for achieving a stable, functional, and esthetic dentition. Failure to customize preformed archwires with the…
Introduction The aim of this study was to compare dental development in a group of children with mild-to-moderate hypodontia with a matched group. Methods A study group of 70 children…
Introduction Our aims were to evaluate long-term maxillary arch width changes in orthodontic patients treated with and without premolar extractions and to provide a potential link to the buccal-corridor ratios….
Introduction The purposes of this study were to examine the amounts of overjet in the anterior and posterior segments of 3 arch forms by using facial axis points on 3-dimensional…
Introduction Although the associations between oral biologic variables such as malocclusion and oral-health-related quality of life (OHRQOL) have been explored, little research has been done to address the influence of…
Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of fixed appliances on oral malodor. Methods Forty-one patients participated in this study. They were randomized into 2 groups:…
Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the morphologic differences in the mandibular arches of Egyptian and North American white subjects. Methods The sample included 94 Egyptian subjects…
Introduction Orthodontic force duration can affect the severity of root resorption. The aim of this clinical study was to investigate the amounts of root resorption volumetrically after the application of…
