Introduction This study aimed to compare the 3-dimensional force system produced by transpalatal arch (TPA) mechanics with that produced by a continuous arch (CA) on the expansion of maxillary first…
Introduction Nonsurgical mandibular expansion has been increasingly performed in recent years because it can effectively expand the mandibular dental arch. However, many types of mandibular expanders have been used in…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to compare treatment outcomes for anterior occlusion and vertical skeletal stability after maxillary or mandibular surgery for correction of Class II malocclusion with…
Introduction Osteoprotegerin-deficient mice develop severe high-turnover osteoporosis with porous low-density trabecular bone from an age-related increase in osteoclast activity and are useful alveolar bone models of osteoporosis or frail periodontal…
The plaintiff sought treatment for a kidney stone that was lodged in his left ureter. The defendant attempted removal using a ureteroscope. During the surgery, the ureter was damaged beyond…
Introduction The objective of this research was to compare the predictive value of panoramic radiographs (PRs) and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans for the estimation of root resorption, spontaneous eruption of…
Introduction This study aimed to evaluate and compare the skeletal effects of monocortical and bicortical mini-implant anchorage on maxillary skeletal expansion (MSE) using cone-beam computed tomography in young adults. Methods The…
Introduction This study aimed to examine the role of dentofacial morphology in discriminating semi-isolated indigenous groups. These populations present a similar pattern of dietary habits. Studies in human genetics have…
Introduction For patients with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP), secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) can be performed before or after the emergence of the cleft side permanent canine (pre-CE…
Introduction The purpose of this research was to prospectively determine the ratio of 2 soft-tissue landmarks, pogonion (sPg) and menton (sMe), to their hard-tissue counterparts (Pg and Me) in the…
The plaintiff sought treatment for a kidney stone that was lodged in his left ureter. The defendant attempted removal using a ureteroscope. During the surgery, the ureter was damaged beyond…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to compare treatment outcomes for anterior occlusion and vertical skeletal stability after maxillary or mandibular surgery for correction of Class II malocclusion with…
Introduction The aim of this study was to verify less resorption of incompletely developed roots compared with those that were fully developed during the same orthodontic treatment and to test…
Introduction The objective of this prospective randomized clinical trial was to investigate the relationship between clear aligner (CA) therapy and the development of white spot lesions and compare it with…
It has been a stressful afternoon at your office, and you are 20 minutes behind schedule. The palatal expander for sensitive little Elizabeth will not seat fully, and she loudly whines…
The world is changing! Despite our specialty’s genuine concerns, commercial teledentistry is gaining acceptance at an amazing rate. Teledentistry refers to a dental service that combines telecommunications with dentistry to…
A 23-year-old woman with condylar resorption and a skeletal Class II pattern and anterior open bite were treated with 4 premolar extractions and temporary skeletal anchorage devices in both maxillary…
Anterior open bite malocclusion is generally associated with several causes. This case report describes the 2-phase treatment of a 13-year-old boy with a Class III malocclusion, severe anterior open bite,…
