Ongoing Debate in Clinical Decision Making in Orbital Fractures
Key points • Trapdoor fracture in children, globe dislocation or trapdoor fracture with a nonresolving oculocardiac reflex, bradycardia, heart block, nausea, vomiting, or syncope are indications for immediate surgery. •…
Orthoptic Evaluation and Treatment in Orbital Fractures
Key points • Be aware of a combination of mechanical, neurogenic, and sensory causes of diplopia. • Check for factors influencing the absence of diplopia, such as trauma-related visual problems,…
Anatomy of the Orbits
Key points • The skeletal framework around the anterior aperture of each orbit and the 4 walls of the orbital cavity can be conceived as a pyramid with a quadrangular…
Ocular Injury and Emergencies Around the Globe
Key points • Retrobulbar hemorrhage in the setting of orbital trauma can cause orbital compartment syndrome, which may result in irreversible vision loss. Immediate action through a lateral canthotomy and…
The role of EphB4/ephrinB2 signaling in root repair after orthodontically-induced root resorption
Introduction This study aimed to investigate the effect of EphB4/ephrinB2 signaling on orthodontically-induced root resorption repair and the possible molecular mechanism behind it. Methods Seventy-two 6-week-old male Wistar rats were…
Continuous archwire technique for the correction of completely transposed maxillary incisors
Tooth transposition is an uncommon disorder related to ectopic eruption; it can be classified as complete or incomplete on the basis of the position of the crowns and roots of…
Protocols for orthodontic treatment of patients with temporomandibular joint disorders
Orthodontists often have trouble treating patients who have temporomandibular joint disorders because occlusion changes depend on the position of unstable condyles. This characteristic means the patients do not have definite…
Predicted and actual outcome of anterior intrusion with Invisalign assessed with cone-beam computed tomography
Introduction The purpose of this study was to compare predicted anterior teeth intrusion measurements with the actual clinical intrusion measurements using cone-beam computed tomography. Understanding the precision of the software…
Oropharyngeal 3-dimensional changes after maxillary expansion with 2 different orthodontic approaches
Introduction The objective of this research was to compare the oropharyngeal volume and minimal cross-sectional area (MCA) changes after maxillary expansion using either the Damon system or Hyrax appliances as…
Body postural realignment in the first 2 months after orthognathic surgery
Introduction This study aimed to assess the static posture in patients with Angle Class II and III malocclusions in the first 2 months after orthognathic surgery. Methods This was a longitudinal…
Compressive stress in periodontal ligament under orthodontic movements during periodontal breakdown
Introduction This analysis aimed to assess quantitatively and qualitatively the compressive stress (S3) in periodontal ligament in a gradual periodontal breakdown (0-8 mm) under orthodontic movements. Correlations between the applied forces,…
A comparison of 2- and 3-dimensional mandibular superimposition techniques against Björk’s structural superimposition method
Introduction The purpose of this research was to compare mandibular growth rotation relative to the cranial base in different vertical facial patterns on the basis of multiple 2-dimensional (2D) and…
Effects of different wavelengths of low-level laser therapy on orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption in rats investigated with micro–computerized tomography
Introduction The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of different wavelengths low-level laser therapies on orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR) during orthodontic tooth movement in rats…
Buccal bone defects and transversal tooth movement of mandibular lateral segments in patients after orthodontic treatment with and without piezocision: A case-control retrospective study
Introduction This study aimed to compare the extent of buccal bone defects (dehiscences and fenestrations) and transversal tooth movement of mandibular lateral segments in patients after orthodontic treatment with and…
Voxel-based superimposition of serial craniofacial cone-beam computed tomographies for facial soft tissue assessment: Reproducibility and segmentation effects
Introduction The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the reproducibility of a voxel-based 3-dimensional superimposition method and the effect of segmentation error on determining soft tissue surface changes. Methods…
Does age influence self-perception of the soft-tissue profile in children?
Introduction Appreciation of the soft-tissue profile is important in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment. However, are the patients themselves aware of their profile appearance? We aimed to evaluate if age influences…
Keys to Class II correction: A comparison of 2 extraction protocols
Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of 2 extraction patterns on incisor and molar movements in patients with growing Class II Division 1. Methods The sample…
Relative effectiveness of facemask therapy with alternate maxillary expansion and constriction in the early treatment of Class III malocclusion
Introduction This study aimed to investigate the relative efficacy of maxillary protraction combined with a modified alternate rapid maxillary expansion and constriction (Alt-RAMEC) protocol compared with conventional protocols in the…
Prevalence of and risk factors for alveolar fenestration and dehiscence in the anterior teeth of Chinese patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion
Introduction This study investigated the prevalence of and risk factors for alveolar fenestration and dehiscence in the anterior teeth of Chinese patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion. Methods This study…
