Introduction Our objectives were to evaluate the long-term posttreatment changes of orthodontically corrected mandibular anterior malalignment and to determine the factors explaining these changes. Methods The sample consisted of 66…
Okay, you are employed as an associate in any type of group practice you want to envision. One day, you are covering the office because the owner/orthodontist is away, and…
Introduction In this study, mechanical stress in the form of tooth movement was applied to osteoprotegerin-deficient knockout mice, which served as an animal model for juvenile Paget’s disease. To compare…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the long-term stability of deep overbite correction with mandibular incisor intrusion with utility arches in adult patients. Methods Pretreatment, posttreatment, and…
Orthodontic extrusion with multidisciplinary treatment can provide predictable outcomes in selected situations, reducing the costs and the adaptation times of gingival tissues after implant integration. Forced orthodontic extrusion is strongly…
Introduction The muscles of mastication are important in positioning the mandible and can therefore affect the patency of the upper airway. The aim of this study was to determine whether…
Introduction The primary objective of this study was to assess the accuracy and the reliability of the SureSmile OraScanner (Orametrix, Richardson, Tex) by comparing it with other desktop 3-dimensional scanners:…
An 8-mm anterior and posterior open bite caused by a tongue rest posture habit was closed in a 25-year-old man by means of mandibular soldered tongue spurs and without orthognathic…
Introduction The aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate mandibular rotation and angular remodeling in mouth-breathing children compared with nasal-breathing children. Methods The sample included 55 severely obstructed mouth-breathing…
Introduction This study was conducted to measure the dimensional changes in the cranial base and the mandible in patients with facial asymmetry and mandibular prognathism, and to examine the morphologic…
Orthopedic prevention of asymmetry in unilateral temporomandibular joint arthritis Stoustrup P, Küseler A, Kristensen KD, Herlin T, Pedersen TK. Orthopaedic splint treatment can reduce mandibular asymmetry caused by unilateral temporomandibular…
In the last article, we demonstrated how to use multilevel linear or curvilinear models to analyze longitudinal orthodontic growth data. Because facial growth tends to accelerate during adolescence, fitting a…
As an archive of peer-reviewed research, the AJO-DO is committed to accepting and publishing investigations of the highest quality. The lowest quality of evidence consists of expert opinion, and the…
A recently retired dentist who had been your best referrer for decades asks you to evaluate his wife for orthodontic treatment. She is a distinguished 64-year-old woman whose complaint is…
The aims of this article are to introduce mandibular condylar pseudocysts to orthodontists, present 2 relevant case reports, and discuss possible differential diagnoses. Condylar pseudocyst is a radiologic variant of…
Introduction The success of retention with removable retainers is highly dependent on efficient patient compliance. The aim of this study was to quantify patient compliance with removable retainers using microelectronic…
Introduction In this study, we evaluated the reliability and validity of 3 bite registrations in relation to condylar position in the glenoid fossae using magnetic resonance imaging in a symptom-free…
Introduction In nongrowing patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion, premolar extraction or maxillary distalization can be used as camouflage treatment. Zygomatic anchorage enables distalization in uncooperative or noncompliant patients. We…
An important new book on craniofacial anomalies has been written by Professor Takayuki Kuroda and his colleagues at Tokyo Medical and Dental University. This treatment team comprised a unique group…
Introduction Genetic influences on the development of malocclusion include heritable effects on both masticatory muscles and jaw skeletal morphology. Beyond genetic variations, however, the characteristics of muscle and bone are…
