Background/Aim: This article examines the purpose, significance and broader impact of orthodontic treatment, emphasizing its preventative and corrective roles in maintaining optimal oral health. It highlights how occlusi...

Background/Aim: The objective of this research was to evaluate the level of oral hygiene, the prevalence of caries, and the condition of the soft tissues in children and adolescents referred for their first orthodontic e...

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...

The development of technology in orthodontic field produces some orthodontic wires that have different deflection abilities. Loading force is the force needed to place an orthodontic wire in bracket slot (activation). Un...

Bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme derived from pineapple, has attracted significant attention in both medicine and dentistry due to its diverse therapeutic properties. It has been widely studied for its anti-inflammatory, ...

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...

Mini screw orthodontics merupakan alat yang digunakan dalam perawatan ortodonsia untuk kasus yang membutuhkan absolute anchorage. Mini screw yang tersedia terbuat dari logam nikel titanium atau stainless steel yang pada...

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 ...

The aim of the research is to investigate the influence of coil spring directions and masticatory force on the amount of OTM. Materials and Methods. Thirty-six male Wistar rats (n = 36) were divided proportionally into t...

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...

Dentists are one of the professions most at risk of infection transmission because dental care potentially produces many infectious aerosols for bacterial transmission. Using personal protective equipment and aerosol suc...

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...
