Introduction This article presents a novel technique for automatic cephalometric landmark localization on 3-dimensional (3D) cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) volumes by using an active shape model to search for landmarks…
Introduction The aim of this research was to compare the load systems produced by rectangular loops and continuous arches for the correction of extruded second molars with a mesial inclination (inconsistent…
A 36-year-old woman with good periodontal health sought treatment for a compensated Class II partially edentulous malocclusion associated with a steep mandibular plane (SN-MP, 45°), 9 missing teeth, a 3-mm…
Introduction The severity of a palatally impacted canine (PIC) is gauged radiographically on 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional positional components: eg, angulation and height. We hypothesized that the position of a PIC…
Introduction The aim of this study was to verify the accuracy of preformed wire shape templates on plaster models and those of customized digital arch form diagrams on digital models….
Introduction Mandibular molar uprighting is indicated when mesial inclination of the second molars occurs because of missing first molars. There are many methodologies to perform such movement. In this study, we…
A 43-year-old man sought orthodontic treatment to close anterior diastemas. During the impression procedure for routine documentation, the orthodontic assistant exerted excessive pressure on the metallic tray; 2 days later, the…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to predict the need for orthognathic surgery in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) in the early permanent dentition. Methods In…
Patients with bimaxillary protrusion may have an unattractive profile with a retruded chin contour. Correction of the severely protrusive anterior alveolar bone and teeth combined with a moderate open bite…
Introduction Despite the increases in adults undergoing orthodontic treatment in both the public and private sectors, satisfaction with the treatment process has not been widely explored. In this study, we…
