Introduction Orthodontic forces produce a series of changes in dental pulp. However, no one has attempted to investigate the incidence of pulp necrosis after orthodontic therapy in the clinic. In…
Introduction Despite the high prevalence of dental anxiety in children, there is little research examining anxiety before orthodontic procedures. This parallel-group randomized controlled trial assessed whether provision of additional multimedia…
Virtual 3-dimensional planning in orthognathic surgery allows for a detailed visualization and analysis of skeletal and dental deformities, especially in patients with asymmetries. This approach also eliminates conventional stone model…

We want to thank Robert Vitral, Marcio Campos, and Marcelo Fraga for their interest and feedback regarding our research. They analyzed our 2 null hypotheses and stated that 1 was…
The null hypothesis is the proposition that implies no effect or no relationship between phenomena. It is a hypothesis that the researcher tries to disprove, reject, or nullify, whereas the…
We would like to thank Dr Papageorgiou for his interest in our article. We are grateful for the opportunity to offer a few clarifications. While conducting and reporting this meta-analysis,…
I read with interest the article “Prevalence of peg-shaped maxillary permanent lateral incisors: A meta-analysis” (Hua F, He H, Ngan P, Bouzid W. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2013;144:97-109); although…
Vincent G. Kokich, Editor-in-Chief of the AJO-DO , died on July 24, 2013, at his home in Gig Harbor, Washington. His death was sudden and unexpected, and a great loss…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to compare the sensitivity of diagnoses of buccal bone coverage in anterior teeth between axial and sagittal reconstructions using cone-beam computed tomography. Methods…
Introduction Current studies have compared indirect bonding with direct placement of orthodontic brackets; many of these have shown that indirect bonding is generally a more accurate technique. However, the reproducibility…
When many words have already been written to describe the life of Vincent George Kokich (September 17, 1944-July 24, 2013), it seems unfair to rely upon one person to summarize…
Introduction In this study, we present a novel classification method for individual assessment of midpalatal suture morphology. Methods Cone-beam computed tomography images from 140 subjects (ages, 5.6-58.4 years) were examined…
Introduction Our objectives in this study were to evaluate in 3 dimensions the growth and treatment effects on the midface and the maxillary dentition produced by facemask therapy in association…
This case report describes the treatment of an 18-year-old man with a skeletal Class III pattern and a full-step Class III malocclusion. The orthodontic treatment included distal movement of the…
In Part 1 of this series of articles on growth-curve modeling, we demonstrated how to use multilevel curvilinear models to analyze longitudinal orthodontic growth data. In Part 2, we demonstrated…
This case report describes the treatment of a girl, age 11 years 10 months, with a cleft lip and palate and a postsurgical scar. The clinical examination showed a concave…
Autotransplantation is an option for tooth replacement when a suitable tooth is available and anatomic circumstances are favorable. This case report describes successful orthognathic treatment that was combined with autotransplantation…
