Introduction The association of sella turcica bridging and various dental anomalies has been an area of interest for researchers. Based on the evidence of a common embryologic origin between sella…
Introduction The goals of this study were to evaluate (1) the reliability and accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for assessing adenoid size compared with nasoendoscopy and (2) the influence…
Introduction The aim of this study was to investigate the presence of transient bacteremia after a piezocision procedure. Methods The sample consisted of 30 subjects (24 women, 6 men; mean…
Introduction In this randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial, we investigated the effect of noninvasive extracorporeal shock waves on the stability of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) under orthodontic loading. Methods Thirty adult…
Another year has rolled by, and it’s again time for you to participate in the admissions interviews for your alma mater. It is becoming more and more difficult to identify…

We are grateful to the author of the letter for the interest shown in our article and the opinion on the misuse of certain terms. We would also like to…
I read with interest the article by Ha et al, particularly their discussion of the terminology related to “long face deformity” and “long face syndrome.” At the expense of being pedantic,…

Almost on a daily basis, I receive a communication about an issue that, in the end, concludes that “someone ought to do something about this.” As a quick response I…
There are some mistakes in the article “Forces and moments generated by removable thermoplastic aligners: Incisor torque, premolar derotation, and molar distalization” (Simon M, Keilig L, Schwarze J, Jung BA, Bourauel…
Etiology and diagnosis The patient was a 19-year-old Brazilian man. His medical history was noncontributory, and the extraoral examination showed a hyperdivergent facial profile, increased lower third of the face,…
Introduction Chairside oral scanners allow direct digital acquisition of the intraoral situation and can eliminate the need for conventional impressions. In this study, we aimed to assess accuracy, scan time,…
In this case report, we introduce the combined use of multiloop edgewise archwire and microimplant anchorage to treat an 18-year-old Chinese woman who had a severe anterior open bite and…
Introduction The purposes of this study were to longitudinally evaluate the effects of pilot holes on miniscrew implant (MSI) stability and to determine whether the effects can be attributed to…
Both randomized and nonrandomized studies are integral to orthodontic research and practice because they permit evaluation of relationships between exposures and outcomes, allowing the efficacy, effectiveness, and safety of interventions…
Introduction Temporary skeletal anchorage devices now offer the possibility of closing anterior open bites and decreasing anterior face height by intruding maxillary posterior teeth, but data for treatment outcomes are…
Introduction α-Actinins are myofibril anchor proteins that influence the contractile properties of skeletal muscles. ACTN2 is expressed in slow type I and fast type II fibers, whereas ACTN3 is expressed…
In the previous article, I defined cohort studies and explained the difference between prospective and retrospective cohort designs. In this article, I will discuss bias and the pros and cons…
So, you finally hire an associate. After a few months, you notice that things are working out wonderfully, and you both decide to continue the arrangement: you because you like…
