Introduction In orthodontic treatment, teeth can relapse after tooth movement without retention. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inhibition effects of local osteoprotegerin (OPG) gene transfer on…
The purpose of this article was to describe the closure of a maxillary median diastema of a 26-year-old woman that had been corrected before during orthodontic treatment but reopened after…
The Tweed-Merrifield directional force technique is a useful treatment approach for a patient with a Class II malocclusion with dentoalveolar protrusion. The purpose of this case report was to present…
Despite the known influence of early treatment on the facial appearance of growing patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion, few comparative reports on the long-term effects of different treatment regimens…
Introduction Our objective was to test the value of minisensors for recording unrestrained head position with 6 degrees of freedom during 3-dimensional stereophotogrammetry. Methods Four 3-dimensional pictures (3dMD, Atlanta, Ga)…
This purpose of this article was to report the clinical case of a patient with Eagle’s syndrome. She was referred to the orthodontic clinic by her general clinician, with the…
Introduction Our objective was to compare vertical alveolar growth in areas adjacent to infraoccluded deciduous molars with growth in areas of deciduous molars and normal occlusion for a period of…
Introduction The proper angle of microimplant insertion is important for cortical anchorage, patient safety, and biomechanical control. However, the actual impact of different insertion angulations on stability is unknown. Methods…
Subapical mandibular surgeries have been used to correct vertical malocclusion and interdental problems associated with mandibular deformity. Subapical surgery to the anterior part of the mandible is applicable in many…
Randomization consists of 3 steps: generation of the random allocation sequence, allocation concealment, and implementation of the random allocation sequence. In the previous 2 articles, we discussed the methods to…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to examine the long-term skeletal and dental stability of mandibular symphyseal distraction osteogenesis (MSDO) with a tooth-borne and bone-borne hybrid distractor. To differentiate…
Professor Emeritus Jüri Kurol passed away on October 13, 2011. Jüri was born in Estonia in 1942. He moved to Sweden with his family at the age of 2, grew…
Introduction Extrusive tooth movement has been overlooked in the literature on root resorption. The aims of this study were to quantify the effects of light and heavy controlled extrusive forces…
Introduction Our objectives were to evaluate and quantify upper lip soft-tissue changes in the vertical dimensions both at rest and at maximum smile, and to examine the correlation between upper…
P ruitt v Lewis, Super Ct No. 08C-03-033 (Del 3/10/2011) , is interesting because it addresses the question of whether statistical evidence can be admitted to prove that a defendant…
Introduction Several candidate loci have been suggested as influencing mandibular prognathism (1p22.1, 1p22.2, 1p36, 3q26.2, 5p13-p12, 6q25, 11q22.2-q22.3, 12q23, 12q13.13, and 19p13.2). The goal of this study was to replicate…
Introduction The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with different voxel resolutions. Measurements were made of the bony covering of the mandibular…
There is no doubt that dental casts, whether plaster or digital, are one of many important tools routinely used in orthodontics for assessing dentitions or malocclusions. Unfortunately, to this day,…
Introduction The management of patients with Class II malocclusion has been an ongoing discussion in orthodontics. The aim of this study was to determine whether orthodontists agree among themselves and…
Introduction Knowing the microbiota that colonizes orthodontic appliances is important for planning strategies and implementing specific preventive measures during treatment. The purpose of this clinical trial was to evaluate in vivo…
