Introduction The objective of this prospective clinical study was to evaluate the dentoalveolar and skeletal effects induced by rapid maxillary expansion (RME) therapy in mixed dentition patients with Class II…
Introduction To achieve proper occlusion, practitioners must consider tooth-size discrepancies between the jaws. Previous studies have shown considerable differences in tooth sizes between sexes, ethnicities, and malocclusion categories. The aim…
Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate the short-term effects of clodronate, a first-generation bisphosphonate, on early alveolar bone remodeling and root resorption related to orthodontic tooth movement….
Introduction In this in-vitro study, we aimed to compare the residual monomers in composites beneath brackets bonded to enamel, using a light-emitting diode (LED) or a halogen unit, and to…
Introduction The purpose of this descriptive study was to estimate retainer wear and compliance among orthodontic patients in the first 2 years after active orthodontic treatment. Methods A random sample…
Introduction In this cephalometric investigation, we analyzed the treatment effects of bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) with miniplates in the maxilla and mandible connected by Class III elastics in patients with…
Reviewed by Alex Jacobson Many believe that, since we are now in the age of straight archwires, wire bending is no longer necessary. The straight wire technique, however, does not…
The SoundBite hearing system (Sonitus Medical, San Mateo, Calif) allows people with single-sided deafness to wear an intraoral device and a small microphone in the deaf ear to regain lost…
The child in this case was abused by her father. She was taken to the hospital, where a head x-ray and CAT scan were taken. The x-rays were reported to…
Introduction Orthodontic tooth movement uses mechanical forces that result in inflammation in the first days. Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an enzyme found in polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) granules, and it is used…
Introduction The objective of this study was to compare the degrees of skeletal and dental asymmetry between subjects with Class II subdivision malocclusions and subjects with normal occlusions by using…
Introduction Understanding the biologic requirements of orthodontic patients requires proper characterization studies of new archwire alloys. The aims of this study were to evaluate properties of wires made of 2…
Posttreatment tooth movement is inevitable, but its degree depends on a variety of factors that are both iatrogenic and innate to each patient. Although various retention techniques have been developed…
Introduction Our objectives were to determine the effects of simvastatin on relapse and periodontal tissue remodeling after experimental tooth movement in rats and to explore the molecule mechanism. Methods Thirty-two…
Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate the short-term effects of clodronate, a first-generation bisphosphonate, on early alveolar bone remodeling and root resorption related to orthodontic tooth movement….
Introduction The purpose of this study was to review available evidence on the efficacy of various oral appliances on subjectively perceived symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. Methods A search…
Introduction The objective of this pilot randomized clinical trial was to investigate the relative effectiveness of anchorage conservation of en-masse and 2-step retraction techniques during maximum anchorage treatment in patients…
Introduction The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and the measuring error (by means of the smallest detectable error) of 11 angular and 4 linear measurements commonly…
Introduction The aim of this study was to determine the reliability and the measuring error (by means of the smallest detectable error) of 11 angular and 4 linear measurements commonly…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the dimensional changes in each skeletal unit in the mandibles of patients with facial asymmetry and mandibular prognathism. Methods The patients…
