Bone-borne rapid maxillary expansion distraction devices are used to achieve a more skeletal expansion and to avoid dental side effects of conventional expanders such as tipping of anchorage teeth. In…
Introduction Long-term follow-up and management of orthodontic bonded retainers require a strong collaboration between orthodontists and general dental practitioners (GDPs). This study aimed to evaluate if Eastern French GDPs were…
Introduction This research aimed to measure the bone depth and thickness of different insertion paths for safe placement of infrazygomatic crest miniscrews between the first (U6) and second maxillary molars…
Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the metal ion release, cytotoxicity, and surface roughness of clinically used metal orthodontic appliances after immersion in different fluoride product solutions compared with those…
Introduction The chin is a major determinant of the facial profile; hence, it plays a major role in orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. It is thus essential to follow and better…
Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the association of esthetic expectations with self-reported personal characteristics, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, oral health–related quality of life, and the Orthognathic Quality of Life Questionnaire…
Introduction Previous research has suggested orthodontic advertisements are poorly supported by evidence. The primary aim of this study was to identify the type and quality of evidence supporting advertisement claims…
Introduction This research aimed to investigate the dentofacial characteristics of patients with Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) (or Bloch-Sulzberger) syndrome in childhood, juvenile, and adulthood developmental stages. Methods Fifteen female patients with…
Introduction The relationship between malocclusion, orthodontic treatment, and oral health–related quality of life (OHRQOL) is complicated, with some traits, such as increased overjet, having a potentially greater adverse effect on…
Introduction The study aimed to evaluate and compare the effects of local platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) injection and piezocision applications on tooth movement during canine distalization, as well as to evaluate…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to compare the metabolism of Streptococcus mutans biofilms after 1-7 days of growth on different orthodontic adhesives. Methods Specimens of 6 commercial orthodontic adhesives…
Introduction This research aimed to compare treatment effects of functional appliances between children with and without morphologic deviations in the upper spine and analyze associations between Atlas dimensions and the…
Introduction This split-mouth trial aimed to examine the effects of light-emitting diode (LED)–mediated photobiomodulation compared with no photobiomodulation on maxillary canine distalization. Methods Twenty participants (10 males and 10 females;…
Introduction The objective of this 2-arm parallel trial was to investigate the recall and comprehension of the information of orthodontic patients undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment using either the verbal explanation…
Highlights • PICN has high wear resistance against steatite antagonist. • Low impact on surface roughness for PICN by wear. • Zirconia reinforced lithium disilicate is less abrasive against steatite….
Highlights • Manual mixing with water results in microstructural changes, with lower setting time and lower calcium ion release. • Manual mixing required more liquid added to the mixture to…
Abstract Objective This study aimed to assess the effect of different storage media on the hardness and monomer elution of CAD/CAM composite blocks. Methods Five resin-composite blocks (RCB), one polymer-infiltrated…
Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of a novel polymerizable collagen cross-linker methacrylate-functionalized proanthocyanidins (MAPA) on the polymerization, microhardness and leaching of a HEMA-based…
Abstract Objective The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of methacrylate-functionalized proanthocyanidins (MAPAs) on dentin collagen’s bio-stabilization against enzymatic degradation and crosslinking capability. Methods Three MAPAs were…
Highlights • AlF complexes are formed when fluoride is taken up by a free-fluoride cement. • Both fluoride and potassium were uptaken by the cement. • The retained fluoride was…
