This clinical report describes the diagnosis and the management of isolated-type recession defects of complex etiology in 2 healthy postorthodontic patients. The lesions were confined to 1 mandibular incisor and…
Introduction Microdamage reduces bone mechanical properties and thus could contribute to implant failure. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the diameter of mini-implants affects linear microcrack generation…
Introduction The aim of this study was to compare the precision and accuracy of 6 imaging software programs for measuring upper airway volumes in cone-beam computed tomography data. Methods The…
Introduction The aims of this study were to determine the accuracy of volumetric measurements of teeth in vitro by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to analyze the factors affecting their volume…
Introduction The aim of this prospective longitudinal study was to evaluate transverse skeletal changes after surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion. The changes were registered by using a 3-dimensional computerized tomography…
Jitendra Sharan is an assistant professor in the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the Manipal College of Dental Sciences in India. A PubMed search of his name did…
Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress state in the cortical bone around an orthodontic microimplant during and after the insertion surgery. Methods The self-tapping insertion…
In the previous article, we explained that the risk ratio (RR) and the odds ratio (OR) are measures of effect. In this article, we will discuss in more detail the…
One of our readers wrote the following. I routinely use a “light” version of Photoshop to print and digitally store photos of my patients. I also use it to reduce…
Introduction Orthodontists have used various compliance-dependent physical means such as headgears and intraoral appliances to prevent anchorage loss. The aim of this study was to determine whether 1 local application…
Introduction Information about the effect of tooth movement on the myelinated nerve in the periodontal ligament is limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate what responses of the periodontal…
Introduction Maxillary impaction and bimaxillary osteotomies are used to treat anterior open-bite malocclusions but can have adverse soft-tissue effects. Correcting an anterior open bite with a single mandibular procedure avoids…
Introduction Our objective was to assess the effects of miniscrews on interproximal alveolar bone density and adjacent gingival tissue health. Methods Forty-four titanium miniscrews were inserted between maxillary second premolars…
Introduction The objective of this study was to compare skeletal maturation in obese patients and in subjects of normal weight to evaluate the best timing for orthopedic and orthodontic treatment….
Introduction Our objectives were to investigate the prevalence, resorption location and extent, and potential risk factors for impacted canine-associated root resorption (ICARR) in Chinese patients, who, unlike white patients, have…
How many of you reading this editorial have participated in teaching orthodontic residents at an accredited graduate program in the United States or Canada? Many of you participate as part-time…
Removable thermoplastic retainers—a study of wear regimens Jaderberg S, Feldmann I, Engstrom C. Removable thermoplastic appliances as orthodontic retainers—a prospective study of different wear regimens. Eur J Orthod 2012;34:475-9 Achieving…
It’s another second-opinion evaluation of a patient who was initially examined by the busiest orthodontist in town. Ten-year-old James comes with his mother upon referral from his neighbor. The recommendation…
Introduction The goal of this study was to determine whether cone beam-computed tomography (CBCT) images with resolutions similar to those produced in orthodontic offices have sufficient resolution to accurately quantify…
This report describes the treatment of a 16-year-old girl with a severe transverse dental arch discrepancy resulting from a mildly constricted maxillary arch and an overexpanded mandibular arch. The patient…
