Introduction Our objectives were to evaluate the reliability of agreement between orthodontists, with various degrees of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging manipulation comfort, in classifying adenoid hypertrophy through CBCT generated…
Introduction The aim of this 2-arm parallel trial was to evaluate enamel demineralization after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) compared with an untreated control group using quantitative light-induced fluorescence. Methods Thirty-six…
Introduction The emphasis on dental esthetics has increased in recent years. There are, however, differences in esthetic perceptions among professional and lay groups. The aim of this comprehensive review was…
Relationship between biotype and bone morphology Ghassemian M, Lajolo C, Semeraro V, Giuliani M, Verdugo F, Pirronti T, et al. Relationship between biotype and bone morphology in the lower anterior mandible:…
You just can’t seem to arrive at an optimal method to retain those mandibular anterior teeth. After all the effort you have expended to align them ideally, there seems to…
I would like to comment on “Well begun, half done” in the July issue of the Journal (Greco PM, Grubb J, Vaden JL. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2016;150:11-2). The…
We thank Dr Pingkuai Yang for these 2 questions about our study design. The first point is about selection bias and confounding for heterogeneity in overjet amount and mandibular incisor…
We want to thank Manni et al for their article in the June 2016 issue evaluating the effectiveness of the treatment of skeletal Class II malocclusions with an acrylic splint Herbst…
We were pleased that our study, “Adverse effects of lingual and buccal orthodontic techniques: A systematic review and meta-analysis” (Ata-Ali F, Ata-Ali J, Ferrer-Molina M, Cobo T, De Carlos F,…
This past August, most of the major news outlets reported the seemingly sad news that Lucy fell from a tree and plunged 40 feet to her death. This was news…
A 12-year-old girl presented with a Class II Division 1 malocclusion, complicated by a complete transposition of the maxillary left canine into the position normally occupied by the left lateral…
When considering camouflage orthodontic treatment of a malocclusion associated with significant facial asymmetry, it is important to define the location of the dental midline. The patient, a 19-year-old Japanese woman,…
Our specialty lost a major contributor to clinical orthodontics and craniofacial biology with the passing of Dr Henri Petit in Nantes, France, at 87 years of age. His application of the…
The authors and editors have provided orthodontists a reference textbook with an overview of 3D volumetric imaging as it relates to clinical orthodontics, 3D technology, and all fields of dentistry….
Introduction The aim of the study was to evaluate the dentoskeletal effects of the zygoma-gear appliance used for unilateral maxillary molar distalization in patients with Class II subdivision malocclusion. Methods This prospective…
Introduction Biochemical markers are agents directly involved in bone growth and remodeling and can be quantitatively evaluated from various biologic fluids. The aim of this study was to assess the…
Introduction Dental models fabricated with 3-dimensional printing technologies are revolutionizing the practice of orthodontics, but they generally comprise polymeric materials that may not be suitable for certain applications, such as…
The purpose of this article is to present a simple method for determining the optimal sizes of anterior teeth. This is needed because of the frequency of anomalous and missing…
We have already discussed the chi-square (χ 2 ) test and 2 × 2 tables (known as cross-tabulation) to test the association between 2 categorical variables where the distribution of 1 varies…
Introduction The aim of this study was to assess the effects of 3 luting agents (glass ionomer cement, compomer, and polycarboxylate cement) on white spot lesion formation in patients with…
