Impact of FGF1 on human periodontal ligament fibroblast growth, osteogenic differentiation and inflammatory reaction in vitro
ConclusionOur data suggest that FGF1 promotes an osteogenic phenotype of HPdLF and limits inflammatory response to mechanical forces compared to AscA. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Friction and archwire engagement in contemporary self-ligating appliance systems
ConclusionsFR between the archwire and bracket slot differs between P ‑SLB and A‑SLB systems, with a distinct pattern of FR and bracket–archwire engagement for each A‑SLB system. Understanding the different bracket–wire interactions of SLB systems should help orthodontic clinicians to plan effective and efficient biomechanics with the bracket system of thei r choice.

The intraoral permeability measurement as a screening for artifact formation by orthodontic products in MRI
ConclusionsThe permeability measurement allows for a  valid and reliable determination of the magnetizability of intraoral metal objects. When used as a screening tool to detect nonartifact-causing objects, no correction factor needs to be calculated. For the first time, it offers radiologists a decision support for the selective removal of only the highly permeable components of the multiband apparatus.

Role of chaperone-assisted selective autophagy (CASA) in mechanical stress protection of periodontal ligament cells
ConclusionsOur study is the first to identify both the expression and functional relevance of CASA in the PDL. The data reflect its probable central role in adequate adaption to forces exerted by OTM and in mechanical stress protection of cells. Deeper knowledge of the CASA pathway will allow better assessment of predisposing factors regarding side effects during mechanical force application that can be used in orthodontic practice.

Influence of surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion on the interdental papilla height of maxillary central incisors
ConclusionAfter orthodontic treatment including SARME, one third of patients exhibited recession of papilla height of the maxillary central incisors. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Effects of Angle class  II correction with the Forsus fatigue resistant device on mandibular third molars
ConclusionClass  II correction with FRD led to mesialization of the lower arch which provided an increase in the retromolar space. Little improvement in the uprighting of the third molars occurred. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Efficiency of the skeletonized Pendulum  K appliance for non-compliance maxillary molar distalization
ConclusionThe skeletonized Pendulum  K appliance allows compliance-free upper molar distalization. Exclusively dental/periodontal anchorage resulted in a lower percentage of molar distalization compared to a conventional anchoring preparation of the Pendulum K with a palatal acrylic button. Anchorage loss had a comparatively str onger effect on the anchoring premolars but less on the incisors. Typical side effects on the molars such as distal tipping and mesial inward rotation were remarkably low. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Evaluation of anteroposterior and vertical stability 25  years after Angle class II division 1 treatment with cervical headgear
ConclusionsIn the assessed sample, Angle class  II division 1 patients treated with cervical pull headgear presented cephalometric outcome stability of treatment, even after a long-term follow-up of a mean of 25 years postretention.

Comparison of dental arch forms created from assessment of teeth, alveolar bone, and the overlying soft tissue
ConclusionsThe arch form shapes obtained from the teeth, alveolar bone, and soft tissue are correlated and show the same general shape. Although future large-scale studies are needed for confirmation, our results suggest that evaluating the easily visualized external features, including the WALA ridge, can adequately predict the underlying bone shape, and thus the desired arch form. Nevertheless, the shapes vary significantly between patients, so the final treatment plan should be individualized rather than relying on over-simplified general wire shapes.

Herbst –multibracket appliance treatment: is there an association between lower incisor position changes and the development of labial gingival recessions?
ConclusionThere is no association between the amount of LI position changes and the development of LGR during Herbst –MBA treatment plus retention. Nevertheless, individual predisposition or excessive treatment changes and extraordinary treatment approaches, respectively, might still lead to development of LGR.

Comparison of cytokine level changes in gingival crevicular fluid between the aligner and pendulum appliance during early molar distalization
ConclusionsPendulum appliances exert stronger forces than aligners, which cause more changes in the secretion of inflammatory mediators in young patients. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Which method is more effective for accelerating canine distalization short term, low-level laser therapy or piezocision? A  split-mouth study
ConclusionAlthough laser application seems more effective during the first 4 ‑week period, considering the 12-week period, the effects of LLLT and piezocision on orthodontic tooth movement during canine distalization were similar.
