The skeletal and dental effects of Hanks Herbst versus twin block appliances for class II correction in growing patients: a randomized clinical trial
CONCLUSION: The TB appliance was associated with a higher rate of treatment discontinuation. No significant clinical differences were observed in the skeletal and dental effects, although the HH may be associated with more pronounced effects on the mandibular dentition.CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION: The protocol was registered online before the start of the trial (ISRCTN11717011).PMID:37930325 | DOI:10.1093/ejo/cjad065 (Source: European Journal of Orthodontics)

Influence of BMI percentile on craniofacial morphology and development in adolescents,Part II: elevated BMI is associated with larger final facial dimensions
CONCLUSIONS: Growth begins earlier in overweight and obese adolescents and continues at a rate similar to normal-weight children during orthodontic treatment, resulting in larger final skeletal dimensions. Orthodontics could begin earlier in overweight patients to time care with growth, and clinicians can anticipate that overweight/obese patients will finish treatment with proportionally larger, bimaxillary-prognathic craniofacial dimensions.PMID:37932128 | DOI:10.1093/ejo/cjad043 (Source: European Journal of Orthodontics)

Third molar agenesis relates to human craniofacial form
CONCLUSIONS: There is a strong association between third molar formation and craniofacial shape. The effect is rather generalized than local and is potentially linked to an ongoing evolutionary mechanism that leads to smaller and fewer teeth, as well as smaller craniofacial configurations, in modern humans.PMID:37870430 | DOI:10.1093/ejo/cjad057 (Source: European Journal of Orthodontics)

The genetic and environmental contributions to variation in the permanent dental arch form: a twin study
CONCLUSION: The predominant source of occlusal variation within this group of Australian twins of Western European descent was controlled by genetic effects, and most were highly heritable. Generally, intra-arch occlusal variables showed greater heritability compared with inter-arch occlusal variables.PMID:37861389 | DOI:10.1093/ejo/cjad054 (Source: European Journal of Orthodontics)
