Introduction This study was performed to test the long-term efficacy of a highly filled resin primer (38%) that has superior fluoride release and recharge ability. Methods Sixty patients were divided…
Okay, you treat a patient, and the result is less than both you and the patient wanted. The patient now needs either some form of remedial treatment or even re-treatment….
Introduction Esthetic improvement is a key motivator in undergoing orthodontic treatment. This study aims to quantify the contribution of the smile and other facial components to the overall esthetics of…
Introduction The design of the orthodontic bracket or appliance is 1 of the most important factors for creating retentive areas for biofilm formation. In orthodontics, this would be the first study…
Introduction The goal of this research was to assess the impact of orthodontic root movement on gingival recessions. Methods Twelve consecutive adult patients with a mandibular incisor presenting buccal or…
Introduction Incisor root resorption associated with palatally displaced canine (PDC-IRR) is an important phenomenon that might alter the orthodontic treatment plan. The aims of this study were to investigate the…
Introduction Orthodontic treatments are performed to improve esthetics and masticatory functions. In general, clinical criteria are used to recommend such treatments without considering the opinion of the patient. This study…
Introduction The aim of this 2-arm parallel trial was to compare the dentoskeletal effects of the expander with differential opening (EDO) and the Hyrax expander in the mixed dentition. Methods…
Introduction Modified Twin-block therapy followed by fixed appliances (TBFA) is a standard treatment modality in Class II malocclusion; however, there is little information regarding the stability of this approach. We…
Introduction Owing to access to high-quality medical care, more medically compromised patients are seeking orthodontic therapy, including those at risk of developing infective endocarditis (IE). The current guidelines for orthodontic…
In 2015, the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) established a new award, the Lifetime Achievement Award for Orthodontic Research. Previous recipients include Dr William R. Proffit (2017), Dr Lysle E….

Frail older adults and persons with special needs are at higher risk of oral diseases including dental caries. Considering the diverse background of the population, a personalized approach for each…
The objective of this article is to review evidence-based strategies available for the nonrestorative management of caries lesions, both cavitated and noncavitated. The goal is to help clinicians make appropriate…
Selective carious tissue-removal strategies require specific considerations in selection of restorative materials. A tight marginal seal placed over hard dentin and sound enamel is essential. For selective removal of carious…
Medical providers are important allies in the prevention of dental caries. Through raising the issue by asking about risks and strengths, offering anticipatory guidance and counseling, encouraging and following up…
This article focuses on describing nonodontogenic cysts of the oral and maxillofacial region. The lesions described include nasopalatine duct canal cyst, nasolabial cyst, traumatic bone cyst, Stafne bone cyst, aneurysmal…
The purposes of this article are to (1) offer a critical thinking skill set in decision-making and synthesis for caries diagnosis, and risk-adjusted and personalized management based on emulating the…
Dental caries is closely related to a dysbiosis of the microbial consortia of supragingival oral biofilms driven by a sugar-frequent and acidic-pH environment. The pH is a key factor affecting…
Traditionally, before placing a restoration, excavation of tissues affected by caries was recommended. The goal was to have all walls of the cavity on sound, hard dentin, even when at…
