The purpose of this article was to report a procedure for using 3-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography imaging, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, and rapid prototyping to design and produce a retainer….
Introduction There are multiple causes of external root resorption, but absent a disease state, it is most often observed when excessive physical force is used during orthodontic treatment. Even without…
Dentoalveolar ankylosis interferes with the vertical growth of the alveolar process, which can lead to an open bite, an unesthetic smile, and occlusal disharmony. This case report presents a new…
Introduction The aim of this study was to determine the reproducibility and accuracy of linear measurements on 2 types of dental models derived from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans: CBCT…
Introduction In this study, we compared patterns of morphologic variations of the craniofacial skeleton between patients affected by clefts who were operated on and unaffected subjects, aiming to discuss possible…
Introduction Airway size increases are associated with maxillomandibular advancement (MMA) surgery and improvement or elimination of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The 3-dimensional morphologic, volumetric, height, cross-sectional surface area, and diameter…
Introduction Mandibular growth is believed to be strongly related to mastication. Furthermore, mandibular condylar cartilage is known to be derived from neural crest cells. We examined whether the degree of…
Introduction The aim was to study nickel-titanium closed-coil springs in a clinically relevant test setting with respect to the accuracy of the “preactivation” for nickel-titanium closed-coil springs application and whether…

Introduction Recent studies have shown some contradictory results when evaluating the consequences of orthodontic-surgical treatments on the pharyngeal airway. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to correlate the amount…
Orthodontic treatment for adult patients who have mutilated dentitions can be clinically challenging. A 58-year-old man with several occlusally abraded teeth, a congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisor, and prior implant…
Introduction The aim of this study was to analyze the very long-term results after Herbst treatment with respect to changes in the mandibular incisor segment: incisor inclination, incisor alignment, and…
Introduction The selection of appropriate outcomes is a fundamental part of the design of clinical trials. Orthodontic treatment aims to improve a person’s dentofacial appearance, and research outcomes should therefore…
Introduction The objective of this study was to determine the degree of agreement between hand-wrist radiography and cervical vertebral maturation analysis in patients diagnosed with short stature. Methods A cross-sectional study…
Introduction The aim of this study was to explore the shape differences in maxillary first molars with orthographic measurements using 3-dimensional virtual models to assess whether there is variability in…
Posttreatment stability after treatment with a self-ligating system Basciftci FA, Akin M, Ileri Z, Bayram S. Long-term stability of dentoalveolar, skeletal, and soft tissue changes after non-extraction treatment with a…
Your brother’s daughter Elizabeth is now ready for orthodontic treatment. Although the family lives several hours away, you have been the trusted authority in dental health care since you graduated…
The use of elastics in dentistry is not a new development. One of the earliest applications of elastics in dentistry was to extract teeth in patients with bleeding disorders (eg,…
The editorial in the June issue of the AJO-DO provided ample food for thought. The advent of the “digital age” has quite literally revolutionized the accessibility of information available at…
