Introduction The primary objective of this study was to assess the accuracy and the reliability of the SureSmile OraScanner (Orametrix, Richardson, Tex) by comparing it with other desktop 3-dimensional scanners:…
An 8-mm anterior and posterior open bite caused by a tongue rest posture habit was closed in a 25-year-old man by means of mandibular soldered tongue spurs and without orthognathic…
Introduction The aim of this longitudinal study was to investigate mandibular rotation and angular remodeling in mouth-breathing children compared with nasal-breathing children. Methods The sample included 55 severely obstructed mouth-breathing…
Introduction This study was conducted to measure the dimensional changes in the cranial base and the mandible in patients with facial asymmetry and mandibular prognathism, and to examine the morphologic…
Orthopedic prevention of asymmetry in unilateral temporomandibular joint arthritis Stoustrup P, Küseler A, Kristensen KD, Herlin T, Pedersen TK. Orthopaedic splint treatment can reduce mandibular asymmetry caused by unilateral temporomandibular…
In the last article, we demonstrated how to use multilevel linear or curvilinear models to analyze longitudinal orthodontic growth data. Because facial growth tends to accelerate during adolescence, fitting a…
As an archive of peer-reviewed research, the AJO-DO is committed to accepting and publishing investigations of the highest quality. The lowest quality of evidence consists of expert opinion, and the…
A recently retired dentist who had been your best referrer for decades asks you to evaluate his wife for orthodontic treatment. She is a distinguished 64-year-old woman whose complaint is…
The aims of this article are to introduce mandibular condylar pseudocysts to orthodontists, present 2 relevant case reports, and discuss possible differential diagnoses. Condylar pseudocyst is a radiologic variant of…
Introduction The success of retention with removable retainers is highly dependent on efficient patient compliance. The aim of this study was to quantify patient compliance with removable retainers using microelectronic…
Introduction In this study, we evaluated the reliability and validity of 3 bite registrations in relation to condylar position in the glenoid fossae using magnetic resonance imaging in a symptom-free…
Introduction In nongrowing patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion, premolar extraction or maxillary distalization can be used as camouflage treatment. Zygomatic anchorage enables distalization in uncooperative or noncompliant patients. We…
An important new book on craniofacial anomalies has been written by Professor Takayuki Kuroda and his colleagues at Tokyo Medical and Dental University. This treatment team comprised a unique group…
Introduction Genetic influences on the development of malocclusion include heritable effects on both masticatory muscles and jaw skeletal morphology. Beyond genetic variations, however, the characteristics of muscle and bone are…
Most of us do it in one way or another and at one time or another. We try to pass the buck. We think we do it for a good…
Introduction The orthodontic load system, especially ideal moment-to-force ratios, is the commonly used design parameter of segmental T-loops for canine retraction. However, the load system, including moment-to-force ratios, can be…
Publishing a scientific article in a journal with a high impact factor and a good reputation is considered prestigious among one’s peer group and an essential achievement for career progression….
Introduction Many variables affecting smile esthetics and attractiveness have been evaluated. However, the influence of the interaction of several variables is not as well known. Furthermore, patients and dental professionals…
Introduction The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the effect of long-term bisphosphonate drug use (bone burden) on orthodontic tooth movement in a rat model. Methods Sprague Dawley…
Introduction The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of parathyroid hormone injection on experimental tooth movement in rats. Methods Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into…
