Introduction Risk factors concerning orthodontic miniscrew implants have not been adequately assessed. In this systematic review, we summarize the knowledge from published clinical trials regarding the failure rates of miniscrew…
The association between anterior crossbite, deepbite, and temporomandibular joint morphology Wohlberg V, Schwahn C, Gesch D, Meyer G, Kocher T, Bernhardt O. The association between anterior crossbite, deep bite and…
Your state dental license will expire next month. As you complete your renewal form, you realize that you need 4 more hours of continuing education credits to qualify for renewal….
A few years ago, I was asked to give a short oral presentation at a Graduate Orthodontic Residents Program (GORP) after the evening banquet. I had given many lectures to…
A boy, aged 12 years 3 months, sought treatment for a complete unilateral Brodie bite. His maxillary dental arch was asymmetric, and his dentition was 10 mm wider than normal…
This case report describes the orthodontic treatment of an 18-year-old woman with a skeletal Class III malocclusion and a midline deviation. The treatment plan consisted of distalizing the mandibular dentition…
Tooth impaction involves factors such as lack of space in the alveolar process, trauma, ankylosis, and mechanical barriers such as abnormal frenum, supernumerary teeth, tumors, and local cysts. When impaction…
This clinical report describes the diagnosis and the management of isolated-type recession defects of complex etiology in 2 healthy postorthodontic patients. The lesions were confined to 1 mandibular incisor and…
Introduction Microdamage reduces bone mechanical properties and thus could contribute to implant failure. The objective of this study was to investigate whether the diameter of mini-implants affects linear microcrack generation…
Introduction The aim of this study was to compare the precision and accuracy of 6 imaging software programs for measuring upper airway volumes in cone-beam computed tomography data. Methods The…
Introduction The aims of this study were to determine the accuracy of volumetric measurements of teeth in vitro by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to analyze the factors affecting their volume…
Introduction The aim of this prospective longitudinal study was to evaluate transverse skeletal changes after surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion. The changes were registered by using a 3-dimensional computerized tomography…
Jitendra Sharan is an assistant professor in the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at the Manipal College of Dental Sciences in India. A PubMed search of his name did…
Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the stress state in the cortical bone around an orthodontic microimplant during and after the insertion surgery. Methods The self-tapping insertion…
In the previous article, we explained that the risk ratio (RR) and the odds ratio (OR) are measures of effect. In this article, we will discuss in more detail the…
One of our readers wrote the following. I routinely use a “light” version of Photoshop to print and digitally store photos of my patients. I also use it to reduce…
Introduction Orthodontists have used various compliance-dependent physical means such as headgears and intraoral appliances to prevent anchorage loss. The aim of this study was to determine whether 1 local application…
Introduction Information about the effect of tooth movement on the myelinated nerve in the periodontal ligament is limited. In this study, we aimed to investigate what responses of the periodontal…
Introduction Maxillary impaction and bimaxillary osteotomies are used to treat anterior open-bite malocclusions but can have adverse soft-tissue effects. Correcting an anterior open bite with a single mandibular procedure avoids…
Introduction Our objective was to assess the effects of miniscrews on interproximal alveolar bone density and adjacent gingival tissue health. Methods Forty-four titanium miniscrews were inserted between maxillary second premolars…
