Precision of manual landmark identification between as-received and oriented volume-rendered cone-beam computed tomography images
Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the orientation of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images on the precision and reliability of 3-dimensional cephalometric landmark identification….
Cone-beam computed tomographic evaluation of the long-term effects of orthodontic retainers on marginal bone levels
Introduction Fixed retainers are widely used after orthodontic treatment, sometimes for extended periods, despite insufficient knowledge of their possible long-term adverse effects on the periodontium. The aim of this study was…
Effect of piezocision on root resorption associated with orthodontic force: A microcomputed tomography study
Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of piezocision on orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption. Methods Fourteen patients were included in this split-mouth study; 1 side…
Orthodontic postgraduate education: A global perspective
Orthodontic education is often questioned when it is obtained from unfamiliar institutions. The intent of this book is to answer the questions related to this uncertainty; moreover, it gives the…
Matched analysis for paired binary data (McNemar test)
