Abstract Precise placement of orthodontic mini-implants (OMIs) in the anterior palate, particularly in the median and paramedian regions, is essential for reliable skeletal anchorage. Digitally planned insertion guides m...

Abstract Objectives Pre-surgical orthodontic decompensation (POD) for patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion may lead to alveolar bone loss. This study investigates the relationship between vertical facial pattern...

BackgroundAn interdental brush (IDB) is an adjunctive oral-hygiene tool designed to clean interproximal spaces and remove dental plaque. This study systematically evaluated its effectiveness for improving oral hygiene an...

Objective: Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) combines selective alveolar decortication with orthodontic force to accelerate tooth movement, but its influence on the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) ...

Abstract Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED), caused by mutations in genes such as EDAR, is a genetic disorder characterized by hypodontia, hypotrichosis, and hypohidrosis. Dental anomalies in HED patients lead to fu...

Background: Accurate prediction of facial aesthetics after orthodontic treatment is crucial for clinical planning, yet traditional methodologies often lack the required accuracy and realism. We introduce a novel generati...

Introduction and aims: For decades, orthodontic diagnosis and treatment have primarily depended on physical models, imaging techniques, and three-dimensional (3D) imaging technologies. Nevertheless, single-modal data exh...

Objective: The successful completion of orthodontic treatment largely depends on the accuracy of bracket placement. This study aimed to compare the impact of virtual simulation and traditional training on bonding, while ...

Abstract Background Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) reflects localized periodontal and alveolar bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. Although ALP changes have been inv...

Abstract Background Contemporary orthodontic practice faces challenges related to treatment complications, often linked to deficiencies in multidisciplinary clinical competency. A clear understanding of the coordination ...

ABSTRACT Introduction: The treatment of Class III malocclusion has an important impact on facial and smile esthetics. Objective: To compare the facial profile attractiveness (FPA) of Class III malocclusion patients tre...

Background: Periodontitis combined with orthodontic treatment creates a complex inflammatory and biomechanical microenvironment in gingival tissue, where macrophages play pivotal roles in tissue remodeling and immune reg...

Transient apical breakdown (TAB) is a form of external root resorption resulting from dental trauma or orthodontic forces. The association between TAB and orthodontic movements has been poorly described in the literature...

Introduction and aims: Skeletal Class II malocclusion is heterogeneous, and conventional two-dimensional cephalometry may not fully capture relevant three-dimensional (3D) craniofacial variation. This study aimed to iden...

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of gradually increasing orthodontic force magnitude compared with a constant force magnitude on the rate of tooth movement during maxillary canine retraction. Methods This split-...

Introduction and aims: To investigate the differences in palatal bone thickness among adult patients with different sagittal skeletal patterns using Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT), and to analyse the safe regions f...

IntroductionDental autotransplantation has re-emerged as a valuable biological option for tooth replacement in growing patients, mainly due to its ability to preserve the periodontal ligament and maintain alveolar bone. ...

Abstract Aims This study aimed to assess the three-dimensional effects of orthodontic premolar extraction in Class II division 1 malocclusion cases treated with fixed appliances on maxillary bony changes (alveolar bone t...

Abstract Background Maxillary transverse deficiency is one of the most common issues encountered in orthodontic practice. Ideally, intervention should take place before the midpalatal suture has completely ossified, in o...

Abstract Background Posterior bite raisers are frequently used in orthodontics, yet the magnitude of the resulting anterior overbite change shows substantial interindividual variability. This study aimed to identify dent...

Abstract Background With the high prevalence of periodontitis, tooth rotation resulting from periodontal damage can be corrected through orthodontic treatment; however, the biomechanical complexity of tooth movement in c...
