Introduction A significant objective of orthodontic treatment is to achieve proper and stable tooth positions that involve not only the crowns, but also their roots. However, the current methods of…
Introduction Juvenile idiopathic arthritis in temporomandibular joints (TMJs) is often treated with intra-articular steroid injections, which can inhibit condylar growth. The purpose of this study was to compare simvastatin (a…
Bimaxillary protrusion in a 28-year-old woman was complicated by multiple missing, restoratively compromised, or hopeless teeth. The maxillary right central incisor had a history of avulsion and replantation that subsequently…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between the mandibular dental and basal bone arch forms for severe skeletal Class III patients by using 3-dimensional digital…
Introduction Severe incisor root resorption (SIRR) associated with impacted maxillary canines is rare but has important implications. Early diagnosis and treatment are imperative. In this investigation, we aimed to identify…
We report the successful treatment of a woman aged 25 years 3 months with bilateral cleft lip and palate. She had a protruded premaxilla, collapsed posterior segments, wide alveolar defects with oronasal…
Introduction Mechanical interlocking between a mini-implant (MI) and the bone substrate reflects directly on the primary stability achieved. The purposes of this study were to evaluate MI design performance in…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate craniocervical posture and hyoid bone position in orthodontic patients with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disc displacement. Methods The subjects consisted of 170…
In orthodontic research, investigators often design studies in which the main response variable is measured repeatedly over time. Compared with cross-sectional designs, repeated-measures designs allow a more definitive evaluation of…
Introduction The aim of this longitudinal 32-year follow-up investigation was to analyze the very long-term effects of Herbst treatment on the dentoskeletal structures. We followed 14 patients from a sample…
