Introduction The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of lactoferrin (LF) on bone resorption of rats’ midpalatal sutures during rapid palatal expansion. Methods Sixty male 5-week-old Wistar…
Introduction Children with high body mass index (BMI) values have been demonstrated to have precocious dental development. Research has largely focused on cross-sectional data sets, leaving an incomplete understanding of…
This case report presents the treatment of a young man with a skeletal Class III malocclusion. He was treated with a conventional surgical-orthodontic approach in which 2 jaw surgeries were…
Introduction Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) is commonly used for 3-dimensional (3D) evaluation and treatment planning of patients in orthodontics, where precision and reproducibility of landmark annotation are required. Manual landmarking…

Introduction The 2-fold purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of acid etching and calcium chloride immersion on removal torque and the bone-cutting ability of orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs)….
Ellen Ann BeGole was born in Detroit in 1934. Her father was an engineer and inventor who held multiple patents. Perhaps not surprisingly, his daughter exhibited a similar knack for…
Introduction Orthodontic extrusion of impacted maxillary canines requires careful biomechanical planning and the use of physiologic force. The aim of this study was to evaluate the time needed for orthodontic…
Introduction Midline deviation of the mandible and maxilla can affect craniofacial growth and occlusion and cause consequences to the temporomandibular joint. The aim of this study was to evaluate the lateral…
Introduction The purpose of this study was to determine the accuracy of specific tooth movements with Invisalign (Align Technology, Santa Clara, Calif). Methods The study sample included 20 Class I…
Introduction Our objective was to evaluate the prevalence of high-risk factors for sleep disordered breathing (SDB) in an orthodontic population of children. SDB is a spectrum of breathing disorders ranging…

Introduction Our objective was to analyze the characteristics that affect skeletal Class I adults with mandibular asymmetries using cone-beam computerized tomography. Methods The sample included cone-beam computerized tomography images of…
Introduction The objective of this 2-arm parallel trial was to compare the effects of direct and indirect bonding techniques on the orthodontic treatment process and outcomes. Methods Thirty patients were…
Ionizing radiation is a known carcinogen. Its damaging effects can be deterministic or stochastic. Deterministic effects occur only after radiation exposure thresholds are reached, but stochastic effects are random, and…
Introduction The purposes of this study were to determine how many systematic reviews and meta-analyses relating to temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) had been published as of 2017 compared with those published…
We want to congratulate the authors of the interesting Clinician’s Corner article, “Lingual mandibular osteonecrosis after dental impressions for orthodontic study models,” recently published in the AJO-DO . Indeed, it…
