Influence of upper lip curvature on smile attractiveness in patients with different degrees of gingival smiles: A cross-sectional study with opinions from oral health providers and laypersons
Introduction Although there is relative consensus about approaches to gingival smile management, there are still discrepancies as to whether a gingival smile is attractive or not. The purpose of this…
Evaluation of various low-dose cone-beam computed tomography protocols in the diagnosis of specific condylar defects
Introduction This study aimed to determine the identifiability and measurement accuracy of defined bony defects of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in cone-beam computed tomographies, depending on different milliampere-second (mAs)-reduced protocols….
A comparative analysis of aerodynamic and anatomic characteristics of upper airway before and after mini-implant–assisted rapid maxillary expansion
Introduction The objective of this research was to observe changes in aerodynamics and anatomic characteristics of the upper airway after mini-implants assisted rapid maxillary expansion and to evaluate the correlation…
Smile preferences of orthodontists, general dentists, patients, and the general public in three-quarter and lateral views
Introduction This study aimed to analyze differences in esthetic smile preferences between Thai dentists and the general population and determine factors that affect smile perception. For the analysis, in addition…
Effects of bicortical anchorage on pterygopalatine suture opening with microimplant-assisted maxillary skeletal expansion
