Introduction Minimally invasive micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) look promising for a routine acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). The objective of this research was to systematically evaluate evidence regarding the effects of…
Implementation of a fixed-effect model implies that 2 conditions are met. First, we are confident about the similarity of all studies included in the meta-analysis (clinical homogeneity in terms of…
Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the relationship between maxillary incisors and lower lip in conjunction with the maxillary gingival display on perception of smile attractiveness. Methods…
Introduction The cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) method comprises 6 stages reported to be prepubertal (1 and 2), pubertal (3 and 4) and postpubertal (5 and 6), and its use has…
Introduction This study compared three-dimensional forces delivered to the displaced tooth and its adjacent teeth between passive self-ligation (PSL) and conventional elastic ligation (CL) in simulation of mandibular lateral incisor…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the registration accuracy between intraoral-scanned crowns and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)–scanned crowns in various registration methods. Methods The samples consisted of…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare smile treatment outcomes between patients treated with Invisalign clear aligners (Align Technology, Santa Clara, Calif) and those treated with…
Introduction An adolescent girl, aged 12 years 11 months, was evaluated for orthodontic treatment. Her chief complaints included a difficulty with keeping her lips passively closed and excessive gingival exposure upon smiling….
This case report presents the unique treatment of a patient with varying asymmetries at different levels within the face. The patient was a 17-year-old male with a diagnosis of right…
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…
