I know I’m gonna start some fights here, so let’s get to it. When you obtain a patient’s informed consent, does it have to be in writing? Apparently not in…
Introduction Three-dimensional (3D) printing technologies are profoundly changing the landscape of orthodontics. To optimize treatment-oriented applications, dimensional fidelity is required for 3D-printed orthodontic models. This study aimed to evaluate the…
Introduction Extreme patterns of vertical facial divergence are of great importance to clinicians because of their association with dental malocclusion and functional problems of the orofacial complex. Understanding the growth…
Introduction The center of resistance (C Res ) is regarded as the fundamental reference point for predictable tooth movement. Accurate estimation can greatly enhance the efficiency of orthodontic tooth movement….
Introduction This study aimed to investigate the incidence and recovery of neurosensory deficit (NSD) after LeFort I osteotomy over 12 months and identify any association between age, gender, and extent of…
Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate the forces and moments exerted by orthodontic aligners on 3 different displaced maxillary teeth and their adjacent supporting teeth. Methods An…
