Autotransplantation of a mature premolar in adults can be a treatment of choice for tooth replacement when combined with well-planned orthodontic treatment. This case report describes the successful treatment of…
Various statistical approaches and visual tools have been developed to detect, estimate, and evaluate the impact of publication bias in meta-analysis results. In this article, we present the most popular…
This case report describes the treatment of a 16-year-old female patient with a skeletal open bite and temporomandibular dysfunction. Clear aligners and miniscrews were used to control the occlusal plane…
Introduction Several imaging software programs with different tools are available for upper airway (UAW) analysis by means of cone beam computed tomography. Because of this wide variability, this study aimed…
Does a judge have to instruct the jury that a bad result, in and of itself, is not evidence of malpractice? This was the question that the court had to…
Introduction The study investigated which patient and orthodontic treatment factors act as predictors for the conclusion of the ongoing treatment in a dental clinic of a specialization program in Orthodontics….
Introduction The present study aimed to analyze possible factors involved in irreversible (IRR) ectopic eruption (EE) of the first permanent molar and explore potential predictors for the IRR outcome. Methods…
Introduction Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is a common orthodontic treatment to correct maxillary transverse deficiency; however, the inability to determine the precise timing of fusion of the midpalatal suture creates…
Introduction The purposes of this study were to characterize the 3-dimensional position of teeth adjacent to impacted canines and examine whether impaction affects canine development using cone-beam computed tomography. Methods…
Introduction The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the effect of the timing of postoperative orthodontic force application on bone remodeling during tooth movement into surgical alveolar defects…
Introduction Our study objectives were to evaluate the impact of malocclusion on oral health–related quality of life (OHRQOL) of adolescents aged 11-14 years in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Methods Two hundred adolescents completed…
Introduction This study aimed to investigate the role of lactoferrin (LF) in the mechanical strain–induced osteogenesis of nontransformed osteoblastic cells (MC3T3-E1 cells) and related mechanism. Methods MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured…
Introduction Our aim was to assess changes in the number of enamel microcracks (EMCs) after removing metal brackets in teeth with and without visible EMCs before the bonding procedure. Methods…
Introduction The objective of the present study was to compare the maxillary dental and skeletal effects after treatment with self-ligating appliance and miniscrew-assisted rapid maxillary expansion (MARPE). Methods The sample…
Introduction This study aimed to evaluate market trends on the demographics most likely to select direct to consumer orthodontics and the reasoning behind their decisions. Methods An internet-based cross-sectional survey…
Introduction This study aimed to establish mathematical equations to describe the dental and basal arch forms in skeletal Class II malocclusion and to investigate correlations between these forms to facilitate…
Introduction This study was performed to evaluate the effect of isotretinoin on tooth displacement and tissues related to induced tooth movement (ITM) in rats. Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided…
Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the 3-dimensional (3D) mandibular dental changes over 42 years using the registration of digital models. Methods The sample comprised digital dental models of 8 untreated…
Introduction The purposes of this research were to identify the buccolingual inclinations of the mandibular teeth and the mandibular symphysis remodeling that result from the orthodontic decompensation movement. Methods The…
Introduction The aim of this research was to verify that ultraviolet light (UV)–photofunctionalization improves the success rate and biomechanical stability of miniscrews regardless of length, and to evaluate the comparability…
