Introduction The aim of this pilot study was to analyze the morphology of the cervical vertebrae of subjects with transverse maxillary constriction. Methods The study population included 40 subjects (7-11…
Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the density of the midpalatal suture as assessed by low-dose computed tomography (CT) before rapid maxillary expansion (RME) (T0), at the…
Introduction Our objective was to determine and compare microleakage patterns of conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC), resin modified GIC (RMGIC), and polyacid-modified composite for band cementation. Methods Sixty freshly extracted…
Introduction In this investigation, we determined the shear bond strength (SBS) of metallic and ceramic orthodontic brackets with new self-adhesive cements. Methods One hundred extracted premolars were used. They were…
Introduction Prediction of the mesiodistal width of unerupted permanent canines and premolars is of major interest for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Methods To improve the accuracy of the prediction,…
Introduction Root resorption is a side effect of orthodontic treatment that occurs with the removal of hyalinized tissue. Studies have shown that a reparative process in the periodontium begins when…
Introduction This systematic review evaluated root resorption as an outcome for patients who had orthodontic tooth movement. The results could provide the best available evidence for clinical decisions to minimize…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of premolar extractions on the Bolton overall ratios and overall tooth-size discrepancies in a Japanese orthodontic population. Methods Mesiodistal…
Introduction In this study, we analyzed the surface roughness (SR) and surface free energy (SFE) characteristics of various orthodontic adhesives and their effects on the adhesion of mutans streptococci (MS)….
Introduction Study models are an essential part of an orthodontic record. Digital models are now available. One option for generating a digital model is cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scanning of…
Introduction The objective of this study was to investigate the in-vitro fluoride release from a glass ionomer orthodontic bonding system (Fuji I, GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) over a 2-month period…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the responses of mandibular condylar cartilage to moving 2 molars in different combinations. Methods Rats were assigned to male and female…
