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) ...

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...

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 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...

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...

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...

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...

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 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 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...
