Introduction Orthodontic treatment of palatally impacted maxillary canines raises many difficulties; to minimize complications, careful planning of orthodontic extrusion and the use of physiologic force are crucial. The aim of…
Sagittal maxillary deficiency is frequently observed in patients with operated unilateral complete cleft of the lip and palate. Treatment for moderate to severe Class III malocclusion usually relies on LeFort…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to describe the skeletal and dentoalveolar changes in a group of growing skeletal Class III patients treated with hybrid rapid palatal expansion and…
Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the clinical success of 2 lingual retainer wires. Methods The 120 patients included in the study were divided into…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability of the radiographic images of the main conventional x-ray techniques compared with the information from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)….
Introduction Dentofacial asymmetries are often observed in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvements. The aim of this split-face study was to associate types of radiologic…
Introduction Clear aligners and to a lesser extent self-ligated brackets are considered to facilitate better oral hygiene than traditional fixed orthodontic appliances. This 3-arm parallel-group prospective randomized clinical trial compared…
Introduction Goldenhar syndrome is a rare disease with hemifacial microsomia and craniofacial disorders originating from the first and second branchial arches, such as ocular, auricular, and vertebral anomalies. The complexity…
Introduction Identification and appraisal of the outcome measures that have been used to evaluate hypodontia treatment and deliver services are essential for improving care. A lack of alignment between outcomes…
Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a new approach—bimaxillary miniplates-based skeletal anchorage—in the treatment of skeletal Class II malocclusion compared with untreated subjects. Methods…
Introduction Mandibular retrognathism is a type of malocclusion that refers to an abnormal posterior position of the mandible as a result of a developmental abnormality. From the literature, it is…
Introduction The aim of this study was to assess long-term changes and describe the trajectories of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in a cohort of cleft, surgery, and standard…
Introduction Our objective was to evaluate the effect of cusp height of posterior teeth (first premolar, second premolar, first molar) on the accuracy of the computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing…
There is abundant evidence that biomedical research can be compromised by both methodologic and reporting limitations, which may lead to flawed inferences and interpretations of the findings of research studies….
One of our readers e-mailed me and finished by asking questions that at 1 time or another have plagued many of us. He wrote the following. Larry: I just finished…
Introduction The adhesives used to bond orthodontic retentions are low-loaded composite resins with a resinous matrix containing bisphenol A diglycidyl ether dimethacrylate synthesized from bisphenol A (BPA), fluidizers such as…
We praise the authors of the article entitled “Surgery-first orthognathic approach vs traditional orthognathic approach: oral health-related quality of life assessed with 2 questionnaires” (Pelo S, Gasparini G, Garagiola U,…
You have been a patron of the same dry cleaner facility for over 2 decades. Gina has been the smiling cashier who welcomes you for as long as you can remember….
Effects of the mandibular protruding device Fransson AM, Kowalczyk A, Isacsson G. A prospective 10-year follow-up dental cast study of patients with obstructive sleep apnoea/snoring who use a mandibular protruding…
Introduction This article presents a novel technique for automatic cephalometric landmark localization on 3-dimensional (3D) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) volumes by using an active shape model to search for landmarks…
