Does a transverse maxillary deficit affect the cervical vertebrae? A pilot study
Introduction The aim of this pilot study was to analyze the morphology of the cervical vertebrae of subjects with transverse maxillary constriction. Methods The study population included 40 subjects (7-11…
Modifications of midpalatal sutural density induced by rapid maxillary expansion: A low-dose computed-tomography evaluation
Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate the density of the midpalatal suture as assessed by low-dose computed tomography (CT) before rapid maxillary expansion (RME) (T0), at the…
Microleakage of orthodontic band cement at the cement-enamel and cement-band interfaces
Introduction Our objective was to determine and compare microleakage patterns of conventional glass ionomer cement (GIC), resin modified GIC (RMGIC), and polyacid-modified composite for band cementation. Methods Sixty freshly extracted…
Bond strength of orthodontic brackets with new self-adhesive resin cements
Introduction In this investigation, we determined the shear bond strength (SBS) of metallic and ceramic orthodontic brackets with new self-adhesive cements. Methods One hundred extracted premolars were used. They were…
Prediction of the mesiodistal width of unerupted permanent canines and premolars: A statistical approach
Introduction Prediction of the mesiodistal width of unerupted permanent canines and premolars is of major interest for orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Methods To improve the accuracy of the prediction,…
Repair of root resorption 2 to 16 weeks after the application of continuous forces on maxillary first molars in rats: A 2- and 3-dimensional quantitative evaluation
Introduction Root resorption is a side effect of orthodontic treatment that occurs with the removal of hyalinized tissue. Studies have shown that a reparative process in the periodontium begins when…
Root resorption associated with orthodontic tooth movement: A systematic review
Introduction This systematic review evaluated root resorption as an outcome for patients who had orthodontic tooth movement. The results could provide the best available evidence for clinical decisions to minimize…
Effects of premolar extractions on Bolton overall ratios and tooth-size discrepancies in a Japanese orthodontic population
Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of premolar extractions on the Bolton overall ratios and overall tooth-size discrepancies in a Japanese orthodontic population. Methods Mesiodistal…
Surface characteristics of orthodontic adhesives and effects on streptococcal adhesion
Introduction In this study, we analyzed the surface roughness (SR) and surface free energy (SFE) characteristics of various orthodontic adhesives and their effects on the adhesion of mutans streptococci (MS)….
