Introduction Dens invaginatus is an anomaly of dental development in which calcified tissues, such as enamel and dentin, are invaginated into the pulp cavity. This morphologic alteration is more frequent…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate the eruptive and posteruptive tooth displacements of untreated growing subjects longitudinally and the potential connections between posteruptive displacement of the maxillary…
Introduction A labial inversely impacted maxillary central incisor is a relatively rare occurrence. The crown of the tooth is directed upward, and its palatal aspect is facing labially. This typical…
Introduction The aims of this study were to identify stable mandibular structures in 3 dimensions in growing patients using a regional implant technique and to test the reproducibility of mandibular…
Introduction Orthodontic tooth movement results from increased inflammation and osteoclast activation. Since patients of all ages now routinely seek orthodontics treatment, we investigated whether age-dependent biologic responses to orthodontic force…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to investigate maxillomandibular transverse widths and molar inclinations of adults with hypodivergent, normodivergent, and hyperdivergent facial patterns using cone-beam computed tomography. Methods We…
Introduction Mini-implants are widely used for predictable tooth movements, but insertion is often restricted by anatomic structures. The aims of this study were to investigate the incidence of penetration of…
Orthodontics has lost one of the “tallest trees in its forest.” Olin Brynilde (O. B.) Vaughan was a giant sequoia, and his death leaves a great void in the hearts…
Introduction The aims of this study were to retrospectively investigate the long-term development of gingival recession in a cohort of orthodontic patients and to compare the prevalence of gingival recession…
So, you just finished your orthodontic training. You enter the job market, and you find what you think is a fabulous associate’s position. The contract is to your liking, and…
Introduction With the recent interest in esthetics at an early age, prediction of mandibular incisor crowding is of significant importance. Since dental arch development is related to craniofacial growth, we…
Introduction The aims of this 2-arm parallel pilot randomized controlled trial were to investigate the influence of antibiotic prophylaxis on the stability of orthodontic microimplants and to evaluate the efficacy…
You always thought that you were gifted. Not because you were the best athlete in your class or the best-looking student in your dorm, or because you were named the…
In the May 2017 issue of the AJO-DO , Morris et al evaluated the long-term prevalence of gingival recession after orthodontic treatment. As discussed in the article, periodontal disease and mechanical…
Nearly 2500 years ago, Socrates asserted that ethical principles are the essence of humanity; living life without them would be like wandering in search of direction without the sun to guide…
