We appreciate the interest in our article. Initially, a Planas appliance was placed, which allowed raising of the bite provided by the tracks of the maxillary and mandibular appliances due…
Let me tell you a story about my introduction to interdisciplinary dentistry. After I had been in private orthodontic practice for about 5 years, I thought that I had a…
The article entitled “Short-root anomaly in an orthodontic patient” (Marques LS, Generoso R, Armond MC, Pazzini CA. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2010;138:346-8) was well written but raises certain questions….
A 13-year-old sought treatment for a severely compromised maxillary left central incisor and an impacted fully developed left canine. Extraction of both teeth became necessary. As the key component of…
Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate clinically, radiographically, and histologically orthodontic tooth movement into bone regenerate after mandibular distraction osteogenesis to elucidate the optimal timing for initiating…
The purpose of this article was to describe the rootless eruption of a mandibular permanent canine in a 10-year-old boy; his mandible had been fractured in a car accident. The…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to establish the causal relationships between expansion force magnitudes, sutural separation, and sutural bone formation. Methods Thirty-seven 6-week-old rabbits were randomly assigned to…
Ocular hypertelorism is a congenital craniofacial malformation characterized by excessive distance between the eyes. It is one of the most expressive deformities of the human face. The aim of this…
An orthodontic miniplate tube device, the C-tube, was designed for use in patients for whom a conventional miniscrew is not suitable, such as those with narrow interradicular spaces, extended maxillary…
Introduction Our objective was to quantify the treatment effects of microimplant-aided mechanics on group distal retraction of the posterior teeth. Methods The pretreatment and posttreatment cephalometric radiographs and dental casts…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to assess age, sex, and regional differences in the cortical bone thickness of commonly used maxillary and mandibular miniscrew implant placement sites. Methods…
Introduction Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a genetic disorder characterized by exomphalos, macroglossia and gigantism. Previous studies reported a wide variation in the skeletal and occlusal characteristics in individuals affected by…
Introduction Histamine (H 1 ) receptor antagonists are widely used drugs for treatment of allergic conditions. Although histamine was shown to be involved in bone remodeling, the aim of this…
Introduction The aim of this study was to evaluate morphologically the effect of teriparatide on induced orthodontic movement of the maxillary first molars in ovariectomized rats. Methods Ovariectomized Wistar rats…
Introduction The aim of this prospective study was to compare the effects of incisor intrusion obtained with the aid of miniscrews and utility arches. Methods Twenty-four patients (10 male, 14…
Introduction Severe crowding can be treated with serial extraction (SE) in the mixed dentition or with late premolar extraction (LPE) in the permanent dentition. The aim of this study was…
Introduction During facial growth, the maxilla and mandible translate downward and forward. Although the forward displacement of the maxilla is less than that of the mandible, the interarch relationship of…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether corrosion eluates obtained from commercially available orthodontic brackets are able to induce genetic damage in vitro. Material and Methods Genotoxicity…
