The field of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) is well known for being a controversial topic in dentistry. Literature during the past 25 to 30 years has pointed the dental profession in…
In recent years, the British Orthodontic Society has challenged the routine use of radiographs in orthodontics with publication of the third edition of its guidelines for clinical radiography. You might…
An ankylosed tooth and adjacent alveolar process can lead to the development of an open bite, an unesthetic smile line, and abnormal function in mastication. Intraoral alveolar bone distraction osteogenesis…
Introduction The aim of this study was to compare the effectiveness of Twin-block and Dynamax appliances for the treatment of Class II Division 1 malocclusion. Methods This was a randomized…
Introduction The objective of this study was to quantify the properties of commercially available nickel-titanium open-coil springs. Methods Eleven springs from 3 manufacturers were tested 5 times over a 12-week…
Introduction Our objective was to compare the effects of 3 light-curing units (LCUs) (quartz-tungsten-halogen [QTH], light-emitting diode [LED], and plasma-arc curing [PAC]) on the microleakage patterns of a polyacid-modified composite…
Introduction In this study, we aimed to verify, via computed volumetric tomography, a correlation between the morphology of the mandibular symphysis and the various facial types. Methods From a sample…
