The patient was a 13-year-old Korean girl who had a displaced mandibular second premolar. She was reluctant to undergo a lengthy orthodontic treatment and opted instead for transplantation of the…
Introduction Our objective was to evaluate the influence of the expansion screw height of a hyrax expander on the degree of dental inclination during rapid maxillary expansion by using the…
Introduction Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is known to improve nasal airway ventilation. Recent evidence suggests that RME is an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnea in children with maxillary constriction….
Introduction The aims of this study were to compare lateral cephalograms with other radiologic methods for diagnosing suspected fusions of the cervical spine and to validate the assessment of congenital…
Introduction The center of resistance is considered the most important reference point for tooth movement. It is often stated that forces through this point will result in tooth translation. The…

Introduction The rate of obesity in children and adolescents is a current public health concern. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI)…
Introduction The aim of this study was to explore the biomechanical effects on the craniomaxillary complex of bone anchorage and dental anchorage during maxillary protraction. Methods We established 2 finite…
In the previous article, I explained the meaning of the P value and discussed the danger of focusing the interpretation of the study results solely on P values. A better…
Have you ever shared treatment of a patient with another colleague? For example, maybe you practice in an office that has several partners and associates, and all the doctors treat…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of placement angles on the success rate of orthodontic microimplants and other factors with cone-beam computed tomography images. Methods…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to determine the cortical bone thickness of the alveolar process in the maxilla and the mandible on cone-beam computed tomographs of adults with…
Introduction Mini-implants are now widely accepted as anchorage for orthodontic tooth movement because of the convenience of the placement procedure, their comparative low cost, and the fact that they can…
Analyzing gene expression of periodontal cells tissue model after compression Li Y, Li M, Tan M, Huang S, Zhao L, Tang T, et al. Analysis of time-course gene expression profiles of…
