Introduction The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a newly designed magnetic palatal expansion appliance with a reactivation system. Methods A magnetic palatal expansion appliance was…
Alloplastic chin implants have been a valuable treatment modality for the correction of microgenia. Their use has provided satisfactory esthetic results by improving facial balance. However, bone resorption under these…
We report on the successful treatment of a 32-year-old woman with condylar hyperplasia and severe mandibular crowding. In addition, her maxilla was canted to the right, her mandibular midline and…
Introduction Rapid prototyping models can be reconstructed from stereolithographic digital study model data to produce hard-copy casts. In this study, we aimed to compare agreement and accuracy of measurements made…
Introduction The purposes of this study were to compare the buccolingual inclinations of the posterior teeth in skeletal Class III patients with and without facial asymmetry with those of skeletal…
Introduction Our objective was to report a patient treated with 3-dimensional virtual-surgery simulation-assisted asymmetric bilateral mandibular distraction osteogenesis. Methods A boy (age, 9.5 years) had mandibular hypoplasia and facial asymmetry, induced…
James William Barnett died on Saturday, September 17, 2016. He was 93. Jay was born on September 30, 1922, in Groom, Texas, to Beulah and Ivan Barnett. He graduated from…
Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the orientation of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images on the precision and reliability of 3-dimensional cephalometric landmark identification….
Introduction Fixed retainers are widely used after orthodontic treatment, sometimes for extended periods, despite insufficient knowledge of their possible long-term adverse effects on the periodontium. The aim of this study was…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of piezocision on orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption. Methods Fourteen patients were included in this split-mouth study; 1 side…
Orthodontic education is often questioned when it is obtained from unfamiliar institutions. The intent of this book is to answer the questions related to this uncertainty; moreover, it gives the…
Sometimes we are interested in comparing pairs of observations within the same subjects. Then we should bear in mind that those observations are not independent and should be treated accordingly. Let…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to analyze displacement and stress distribution in the maxilla during maxillary expansion followed by protraction using bone-borne and conventional tooth-borne palatal expanders and…
Introduction The aim of this study was to compare 3-dimensional landmark consistency and precision in skeletal structures in groups with different levels of experience with 2-dimensional cephalometrics. Methods Sixteen observers,…
You have just finished a long day in the office, and you and your wife are out to dinner with friends. You forgot to log out of your Gmail account,…
Introduction The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) application after interproximal stripping on enamel surface structures in vivo. Methods Fifteen patients with…
Introduction Primary stability is essential to the success of orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs) and heavily depends on the mechanical retention between OMIs and their supporting bone. Alveolar cortical bone commonly serves…
Introduction The aims of this study were to determine the effects of different concentrations of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on alveolar bone density and orthodontic tooth movement. Methods Seventy-six rats were…
Introduction In this study, we aimed to assess the relationship between normative and perceived orthodontic treatment need associated with quality of life, self-esteem, and self-perception. Methods The sample included 248…
Introduction The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of yttria-stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) in fixed lingual retention as an alternative to stainless steel. Methods Exploratory Y-TZP specimens were…
