Introduction The aim of this study was to determine the reproducibility and accuracy of linear measurements on 2 types of dental models derived from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans: CBCT…
Please review the article entitled “Dental arch dimensional changes after adenotonsillectomy in prepubertal children” (Caixeta ACP, Andrade I Jr, Pereira TBJ, Franco LP, Becker HMG, Souki BQ. Am J Orthod…
X-rays were discovered in 1895, closely followed in 1898 by the discovery of the radioactive properties of radium. Almost immediately, a flood of medical products were introduced, marketed, and purported…
Introduction In this study, we compared patterns of morphologic variations of the craniofacial skeleton between patients affected by clefts who were operated on and unaffected subjects, aiming to discuss possible…
Introduction Airway size increases are associated with maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery and improvement or elimination of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The 3-dimensional morphologic, volumetric, height, cross-sectional surface area, and diameter…
Introduction Mandibular growth is believed to be strongly related to mastication. Furthermore, mandibular condylar cartilage is known to be derived from neural crest cells. We examined whether the degree of…
Introduction The aim was to study nickel-titanium closed-coil springs in a clinically relevant test setting with respect to the accuracy of the “preactivation” for nickel-titanium closed-coil springs application and whether…

Introduction Recent studies have shown some contradictory results when evaluating the consequences of orthodontic-surgical treatments on the pharyngeal airway. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to correlate the amount…
Orthodontic treatment for adult patients who have mutilated dentitions can be clinically challenging. A 58-year-old man with several occlusally abraded teeth, a congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisor, and prior implant…
Introduction The aim of this study was to analyze the very long-term results after Herbst treatment with respect to changes in the mandibular incisor segment: incisor inclination, incisor alignment, and…
Introduction The aims of this study were to use 3-dimensional simulation and modeling programs to evaluate the effects of bimaxillary orthognathic surgical correction of Class III malocclusions on pharyngeal airway…
Introduction The selection of appropriate outcomes is a fundamental part of the design of clinical trials. Orthodontic treatment aims to improve a person’s dentofacial appearance, and research outcomes should therefore…
Introduction The objective of this study was to determine the degree of agreement between hand-wrist radiography and cervical vertebral maturation analysis in patients diagnosed with short stature. Methods A cross-sectional study…
Introduction A quantitative assessment of maxillary first molar distalization with and without the maxillary second molar (M2) was carried out. Methods Fifty-six cervical headgear patients undergoing fixed appliance orthodontic treatment…
Introduction The aim of this study was to explore the shape differences in maxillary first molars with orthographic measurements using 3-dimensional virtual models to assess whether there is variability in…
Posttreatment stability after treatment with a self-ligating system Basciftci FA, Akin M, Ileri Z, Bayram S. Long-term stability of dentoalveolar, skeletal, and soft tissue changes after non-extraction treatment with a…
Your brother’s daughter Elizabeth is now ready for orthodontic treatment. Although the family lives several hours away, you have been the trusted authority in dental health care since you graduated…
The use of elastics in dentistry is not a new development. One of the earliest applications of elastics in dentistry was to extract teeth in patients with bleeding disorders (eg,…
