Introduction Our objective was to evaluate the prevalence of high-risk factors for sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in an orthodontic population of children. SDB is a spectrum of breathing disorders ranging…
Ellen Ann BeGole was born in Detroit in 1934. Her father was an engineer and inventor who held multiple patents. Perhaps not surprisingly, his daughter exhibited a similar knack for…
Introduction Our objective was to analyze the characteristics that affect skeletal Class I adults with mandibular asymmetries using cone-beam computerized tomography. Methods The sample included cone-beam computerized tomography images of…
Introduction The objective of this 2-arm parallel trial was to compare the effects of direct and indirect bonding techniques on the orthodontic treatment process and outcomes. Methods Thirty patients were…
Ionizing radiation is a known carcinogen. Its damaging effects can be deterministic or stochastic. Deterministic effects occur only after radiation exposure thresholds are reached, but stochastic effects are random, and…
Introduction The purposes of this study were to determine how many systematic reviews and meta-analyses relating to temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) had been published as of 2017 compared with those published…
We want to congratulate the authors of the interesting Clinician’s Corner article, “Lingual mandibular osteonecrosis after dental impressions for orthodontic study models,” recently published in the AJO-DO . Indeed, it…
A 20-year-old woman had a severe anterior skeletal open bite and a moderate skeletal Class III relationship with a prognathic mandible and a straight profile. She declined surgery. However, molar…
Introduction In this study, we evaluated the effect of bone-borne accelerated expansion protocols on sutural separation and sutural bone modeling using a microcomputed tomography system. We also determined the optimum…
Introduction The aims of this study were to evaluate, using 3-dimensional superimposition techniques, the skeletal changes in Class II subjects with different vertical facial patterns treated with the Herbst appliance…
Introduction Current craniofacial growth modification devices use static forces, but cyclic forces are believed by some to be more effective. The latter have not been evaluated in large animal models,…
Growth deficiency of the maxilla is a frequent finding in patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate. When the sagittal discrepancy is severe, orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery…
Introduction In this study, we aimed to evaluate the changes in dental arch dimensions, tooth size, and incisor crowding in subjects with normal occlusion over a 40-year period. Methods A…
Introduction Previous studies have looked at a variety of dental and facial asymmetries and compared their detection by dental professionals with those of laypersons. However, few studies have analyzed the…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to assess the reproducibility of in-vivo and ex-vivo scans using an intraoral scanner. Methods Twenty adults with no missing teeth except for third…
Introduction In this study, we quantitatively assessed 3-dimensional condylar displacement during counterclockwise maxillomandibular advancement surgery (CMMA) with or without articular disc repositioning, focusing on surgical stability in the follow-up period….
Introduction The aims of this study were to investigate the expression of proteins of elastic fibers and collagen type I in the supra-alveolar structure of orthodontically rotated teeth in rats…
One of our readers recently wrote the following and wanted some input. Larry: At the end of the day yesterday, the father of a long-ago dismissed patient called requesting his…
Dr Fujio Miura Fujio Miura, Professor Emeritus of Tokyo Medical and Dental University and known internationally as a leader in orthodontics, passed away peacefully of aspiration pneumonia and heart failure…
Introduction Orthodontic treatment planning requires skill and expertise with considerable practice variations. The aims of this study were to review retrospectively the pretreatment records of patients with Class I malocclusion…
