I read with interest the case report in the May issue (Cabrera MC, Cabrera CAG, de Freitas KMS, Janson G, de Freitas MR. Lateral open bite: treatment and stability. Am…
Changing of the guard: A look at the past
With the December 2010 issue of the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics ( AJO-DO ), David Turpin’s role as Editor-in-Chief comes to a highly successful conclusion. Over a…
Editor’s response
Before we received the response from the authors of the “Clinician’s corner” article (Bisinelli JC, Ioshii S, Retamoso LB, Moysés ST, Moysés SJ, Tanaka OM. Conservative treatment of unicystic ameloblastoma….
Reflections on a Decade of Change
In looking back over the years I have served as the Association’s Editor-in-Chief, I am overwhelmed with the number of supporters whose contributions have led to the numerous achievements to…
Unicystic ameloblastoma: a case of mistaken identity
I was astonished to find a case report (Bisinelli JC, Ioshii S, Retamoso LB, Moysés ST, Moysés SJ, Tanaka OM. Conservative treatment of unicystic ameloblastoma. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop…
Integration of parts in the facial skeleton and cervical vertebrae
Introduction The purpose of this study was to undertake an exploratory analysis of the relationship among parts in the facial skeleton and cervical vertebrae and their integration as 2-dimensional shapes…
Three-year follow-up of bimaxillary surgery to correct skeletal Class III malocclusion: Stability and risk factors for relapse
Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate long-term skeletal and occlusal stability after bimaxillary surgery to correct skeletal Class III malocclusion. Methods The sample comprised 81 consecutively treated…
Orthodontic tooth movement: Bone formation and its stability over time
Introduction Orthodontic tooth movement can lead to the creation of bone. The purposes of the study were to investigate the amount of bone formed in orthodontic patients during treatment (maxillary…
Dental health assessed after interproximal enamel reduction: Caries risk in posterior teeth
Introduction We investigated whether careful interdental enamel reduction (using extrafine diamond disks with air cooling, followed by contouring with triangular diamond burs and polishing) leads to increased caries risk in…
Three-dimensional modeling and finite element analysis in treatment planning for orthodontic tooth movement
Introduction The objective of this study was to demonstrate the potential of 3-dimensional modeling and finite element analysis as clinical tools in treatment planning for orthodontic tooth movement. High stresses…
Drift characteristics of miniscrews and molars for anchorage under orthodontic force: 3-dimensional computed tomography registration evaluation
Introduction Although miniscrews have been used as absolute anchorage for a long time, their behavior under orthodontic loading is still unclear clinically. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the…
Static frictional force and surface roughness of various bracket and wire combinations
Introduction During sliding mechanics, frictional resistance is an important counterforce to orthodontic tooth movement, which must be controlled to allow application of light, continuous forces. We investigated the static frictional…
Maxillary protraction with miniplates providing skeletal anchorage in a growing Class III patient
Maxillary protraction headgear has been used in the treatment of Class III malocclusion with maxillary deficiency. However, loss of dental anchorage has been reported with tooth-borne anchorage such as lingual…
In-vitro assessment of the forces generated by lingual fixed retainers
Introduction The aim of this article was to assess the effect of wire adaptation on the lingual surfaces of mandibular anterior teeth with 3 types of lingual retainers on the…
Histologic evaluation of root response to intrusion in mandibular teeth in beagle dogs
Introduction The purpose of this article was to histologically evaluate root resorption and repair after orthodontic intrusion with different force magnitudes and fixed anchorage. Methods A randomized split-mouth repeated-measure design…
