Introduction null Cephalometry plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. This study intends to develop an automatic landmark location system to make cephalometry more convenient. null null null Methods null In this study, 512 lateral cephalograms were collected, and 37 landmarks were included. The coordinates of all landmarks in the 512 films were obtained to establish a labeled dataset: 312 were used as a training set, 100 as a validation s...

Introduction null The purpose of this study was to quantitatively evaluate the ramus bone parameters (ramus thickness and ramus depth) for miniscrew placement. An additional aim was to compare and contrast the ramus bone parameters in growing and nongrowing male and female subjects with hyperdivergent, normodivergent, hypodivergent facial types. null null null Methods null Cone-beam computed tomography scans of 690 subjects were evaluated. They were classified in terms of growth status, gender, ...
Introduction null The primary aim was to analyze the effect of providing a mobile application (My Retainers) on adherence with removable retention. null null null Methods null Eighty-four participants planned for thermoplastic retainers were randomly allocated to 2 groups. The intervention group was given access to a bespoke mobile application, while the control group was not given access. Baseline data were obtained at the removal of orthodontic appliances with follow-up at 3 months, 6 months, ...

Introduction null The purpose of this research was to compare insertion techniques and effects on mechanical and clinical parameters between 2 types of miniscrews. null null null Methods null Forty-four consecutive patients whose orthodontic treatment involved the use of miniscrews (miniscrew A [MA] and miniscrew B [MB]) for anchorage were included in this study. Miniscrews were placed with predrilling or self-drilling; peak maximum insertion torque (MIT) and Periotest values were measured. Cone...
Introduction null A key goal of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances is alignment of the dentition, and this remains a commonly selected outcome in clinical studies investigating orthodontic tooth movement. This systematic review has evaluated treatment duration to achieve alignment of the mandibular dentition using fixed appliances. null null null Methods null Systematic literature searches without restrictions were undertaken in 9 databases for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) assessin...

Introduction null Occlusal stabilization splint is the most common treatment modality for temporomandibular joint disorders, but the optimal thickness is still uncertain. This study investigated the effect of the occlusal splint with different thicknesses on the stress distribution of the temporomandibular joint. null null null Methods null Cone-beam computed tomography and magnetic resonance images were used to reconstruct the maxillofacial and disc, and the unilateral anterior disc displacemen...
Introduction null This study aimed to identify and analyze the 100 most-cited articles published in orthodontic scientific journals in the past 21 years. null null null Methods null The research was conducted in the Thomson Reuters Web of Science data citation index, considering articles from 2000 to 2020 and the category of dentistry, oral surgery, and medicine. Information about the number of citations, citations per year, title, authors, year of publication, the title of scientific journals, ...

Introduction null The Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ) is an instrument to assess the subjective perception need for orthodontic treatment. The study aimed to determine the psychometric validity and reliability of PIDAQ in Australian adults. null null null Methods null Data were collected from the National Dental Telephone Interview Survey in 2013. The PIDAQ was used, comprising 4 conceptual domains: self-confidence, social impact, psychological impact, and esthetic...

Introduction null Controlling transverse discrepancies is necessary to ensure stable and functional occlusion. Altered molar inclinations can camouflage the transverse relationship. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the maxillomandibular relationship of the center of resistance (CR) of the arch form created by the CR of teeth and compare these CR arch forms by their skeletal patterns. null null null Methods null Sixty patients with minor crowding and normal posterior overjet were divi...
