This case report describes the orthodontic retreatment a patient with a skeletal Class III malocclusion. The clinical examination showed a concave profile caused by a retruded maxilla and a prognathic…
Introduction The aim of this study was to analyze the time-dependent in-vitro behavior of the periodontal ligament (PDL) by determining the material parameters using specimens of porcine jawbone. Time-dependent material…
Introduction In this study, we assessed the precision and trueness of dental models printed with 3-dimensional (3D) printers via different printing techniques. Methods Digital reference models were printed 5 times…
Introduction Little is known regarding how the mandible rotates in facial asymmetry. The purpose of this study was to study mandibular misalignment with a new plane-to-plane analysis method in patients…
This case report describes the treatment of a 31-year-old woman with a convex profile, protrusive maxilla, retrusive mandible, and gummy smile. Four premolars were extracted, and micro-implant anchorage was used…
Introduction Few studies have examined the secondary insertion of orthodontic miniscrews after failure of the first insertion. We investigated both the primary and secondary success rates of miniscrews used for…
Introduction In this study, we investigated volumetric and dimensional changes to the pharyngeal airway space after isolated mandibular setback surgery for patients with Class III skeletal dysplasia. Methods Records of…
Skeletal and dental discrepancies cause asymmetric malocclusions in orthodontic patients. It is difficult to achieve adequate functional occlusion and guidance in patients with congenital absence of a mandibular incisor due…
Introduction Smile esthetics is a critical factor for evaluating orthodontic treatment outcomes. In this study, we evaluated the differences in esthetic perceptions and smile variables between extraction and nonextraction treatments…

We have previously discussed the use of conventional logistic regression when our aim is to assess binary or, in other words, dichotomous categorical outcomes. That is when the possible answers…
You’ve got a beautiful office in a commercially zoned area. It’s located on the corner of a block atop a slight hill. You have your own parking lot at the…
Introduction Identification of highly cited articles based on the h-index and its properties is important for the evaluation of the past, present, and future of any research discipline. In this…
Introduction Our objective was to investigate craniofacial morphology in women with Class I occlusion and maxillary anterior crowding (MxAC) with bilateral palatal displacement of the lateral incisors and facial displacement…
Introduction The American Association of Orthodontists Foundation (AAOF) Craniofacial Growth Legacy Collection is a digital repository of records from 9 craniofacial growth study collections in the United States and Canada….
Introduction In this study, we aimed to analyze craniofacial morphology by assessing the skeletal cephalometric profiles of HIV-positive patients receiving antiretroviral therapy. Methods For this study, 21 HIV-positive patients aged…
Introduction The purpose of this 2-arm parallel trial was to assess the effect of the AcceleDent Aura appliance (OrthoAccel Technologies, Houston, Tex) on the rate of maxillary premolar extraction space…
