Introduction A protocol was introduced to achieve accurate bracket placement in vivo, which consisted of operative procedures for precise control, and a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing–guided bonding device. To evaluate…
Under the random-effects model, the true effect size is assumed to be different across studies. These studies are not identical (as in the case of the fixed-effect model), but they…
Introduction The aim of this study was to investigate the vestibular anatomy of teeth in samples of adult Italian and Mozambican subjects in ideal occlusion and permanent dentition and identify…
The doctor agreed to perform a certain medical procedure. He did not perform the procedure completely. This required the patient to undergo the procedure again, by a different doctor. Did…
Introduction The objective of this study was to assess the reproducibility of cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) method based on the type of radiographic image and the level of experience and…
Introduction Communication of treatment information is critical in orthodontics. The challenge lies in doing so effectively such that patients will understand and remember, which is the definition of true informed…
Introduction The quantity of remaining periodontal ligament (PDL) on the root surface of donor teeth is essential for the success of tooth autotransplantation. Preapplication of orthodontic loading increases this quantity…
Introduction This study aimed to compare the effects of a novel magnetic palatal expansion appliance (MPEA) during the expansion and maintenance period with that of a screw expansion appliance. Methods…
Introduction This study aimed to determine the volumetric effects on the upper airways of growing patients with Class II malocclusion treated with the Herbst appliance (HA). Methods Volumetric measurements of…
Introduction This study aimed to investigate the association between root morphology of maxillary incisors and nonsyndromic tooth agenesis in patients compared with a control group without agenesis. Methods This controlled…
Introduction Anchorage, which is defined as resistance against undesired tooth movements, is one of the most important factors in success of orthodontic treatment. In recent years, mini-implants have been used…
Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of being overweight or obese while wearing orthodontic fixed appliances on the prevalence of gingivitis in adolescents. Methods A…
Introduction The initial stability of orthodontic mini-implants is well investigated over a period of 6 weeks. There is no clinical data available dealing with the long-term stability. The aim of this…
