Abstract The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to investigate how parameters related to geometry influence the clinical performance of orthodontic mini-implants (MIs). Systematic searches were performed in…
Abstract The sagittal split ramus osteotomy and intraoral vertical ramus osteotomy carry the potential risk of postoperative nerve paralysis, bleeding, and fracture and dislocation of the condyle. In 1992, Choung…
Abstract The aim of this study was to evaluate midpalatal suture maturation in adults, as observed in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. CBCT scans from 78 subjects (64 female…
Abstract While effects of maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) on respiratory parameters for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are well described, effects on sleep architecture before and after MMA are not….
Abstract Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a sleep-related breathing disorder, characterized by repetitive airway obstructions, causing disruptive snoring and daytime sleepiness. Maxillomandibular advancement (MMA), which enlarges the upper airway, is…
Abstract Objectives The small volume of human dentin available for sample preparation and the local variations in its microstructure present a real challenge in the determination of their mechanical properties….
Abstract Objectives Tubules dominate the microstructure of dentin, and in crowns of human teeth they are surrounded by thick mineralized peritubular cuffs of high stiffness. Here we examine the three-dimensional…
Abstract Objectives Stickiness is a vital rheological parameter for the clinical handling behavior of unset resin composite restoratives. The aim of this study was to investigate the stickiness of three…
Abstract Objectives Components released from resin-based dental materials are important factors in the assessment of the biocompatibility of these materials. The study was performed to investigate the elution of substances…
Abstract Objective The purpose of this study was to determine the crack resistance behavior ( K R ) of human enamel in relation to its microstructure. Methods Human molar teeth…
