Achieving ideal results when treating a difficult malocclusion is a challenge that orthodontists frequently encounter. Maintaining those results is sometimes more challenging than the correction itself. As specialists in orthodontics,…
Introduction Aggressive periodontitis (AP) is a condition that promotes breakdown of the periodontal tissues in a short time. In severe cases, pathologic migration of teeth and tooth loss can occur,…

Introduction Recently, greater emphasis has been placed on smile esthetics in dentistry. Eye tracking has been used to objectively evaluate attention to the dentition (mouth) in female models with different…
Introduction Torque applied on anterior teeth is vital for root positioning and stability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the detailed slot wall deformation in stainless steel (SS)…
Introduction The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the influence of presurgical nasoalveolar molding (NAM) on skeletal development in patients with operated unilateral cleft lip and palate at…
Introduction The association between maxillary protraction and bone graft in patients with cleft lip and palate remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a secondary alveolar…

I don’t know about you, but lately, over the past 2 or 3 years, we have seen a slight uptick in patient presentations where we must ask ourselves whether we are…
Introduction The objective of this study was to investigate the association between incisor crowding, irregularity, and periodontal disease progression in the anterior teeth. Methods Data collected over 35 years from men…
Introduction A multicenter parallel 3-arm randomized clinical trial was carried out in 3 university hospitals in the United Kingdom to investigate the effect of supplemental vibratory force on space closure…
Another year floats by, and it’s time for another alumni reunion. You’ve been an avid contributor to your orthodontic residency program—both via sustained financial generosity and devoted attendance at every…
Several uprighting mechanics and devices have been used for repositioning tipped molars. “Kissing molars” (KMs) are an uncommon tooth impaction involving 2 severely tipped mandibular molars with their occlusal surfaces…
Introduction The purposes of this study were to compare the asymmetry index using panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography for detecting mandibular posterior asymmetry and to evaluate the diagnostic value…
Introduction Cortical bone thickness, bone width, insertion depth, and proximity to nerves are important factors when planning and placing orthodontic miniscrews. The objective of this study was to anatomically assess…
Introduction Superimposition of 2 cone-beam computed tomography images is possible by using landmarks, surfaces, or density information (voxel-based). Voxel-based superimposition is automated and uses the most image content, providing accurate…
Introduction Recent technological advances have made intraoral scans and digital models a possibility and a promising alternative to conventional alginate impressions. Several factors should be examined when considering an intraoral…
Introduction The aims of this study were to survey current retention procedures applied by Dutch orthodontists and to examine their acquaintance with “unintentionally active retainers.” Methods A questionnaire was sent…
