Precision and trueness of maxillary crowded models produced by 2 vat photopolymerization 3-dimensional printing techniques
Introduction This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the precision and trueness of dental models produced using 2 rapid prototyping 3-dimensional printers. Methods A digital crowded maxillary arch with a T-shaped…
Orthodontic space closure in a young female patient with solitary median maxillary central incisor syndrome
A solitary median maxillary incisor can occur as a rare single dental anomaly or a symptom of the early-intrauterine developmental brain disorder of holoprosencephaly. The few published case reports about…
Treatment of maxillary transversal deficiency by using a mini-implant-borne rapid maxillary expander and aligners in combination
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…
How do general dental practitioners perceive and deal with orthodontic bonded retainers?
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…
Bone depth and thickness of different infrazygomatic crest miniscrew insertion paths between the first and second maxillary molars for distal tooth movement: A 3-dimensional assessment
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…
Exposure to the oral environment enhances the corrosion of metal orthodontic appliances caused by fluoride-containing products: Cytotoxicity, metal ion release, and surface roughness
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…
