Management of skeletal class  II malocclusion using bimaxillary skeletal anchorage supported fixed functional appliances
ConclusionThe new bimaxillary skeletal anchorage supported fixed functional appliance technique was found to be highly effective in the treatment of class  II malocclusion with significant skeletal changes. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Evaluation of bond strength of molar orthodontic tubes subjected to reinforcement with flowable and bonding resins
ConclusionTransbond XT orthodontic adhesive and Orthobond adhesive had appropriate bonding strengths for clinical use. Furthermore, the use of a  resinous reinforcement with Transbond XT significantly increased the SBS of tubes bonded. However this technique with flowable adhesives (Tetric N Flow and Z350 Flow) did not significantly increase SBS when orthodontic tubes were bonded with Transbond XT or Orthobond.

Controlling incisor torque with completely customized lingual appliances
ConclusionCCLAs can create upper incisor palatal root torque even in cases in which lingually oriented forces applied incisally to the center of resistance of the upper incisors counteract these intended root movements. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Computerized occlusal analysis of Essix and Hawley retainers used during the retention phase: a  controlled clinical trial
ConclusionsAlthough OSA increased when using both retention appliances, OFD did not change. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Mandibular posterior space in class  II division 1 and 2 malocclusion in various age groups
ConclusionClass  II division 1 and division 2 malocclusions had similar and inadequate posterior space dimensions for the eruption of the third and an unknown portion of the second molars. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Angle class  II correction: stepwise mandibular advancement or bite jumping?
ConclusionThere is weak evidence indicating a  slightly increased reduction of the ANB and less lower incisor proclination with SW advancement compared to BJ, but the clinical relevance is debatable due to the small overall magnitude and small number of high-quality papers.RegistrationProspero #CRD42017075469 (www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero) (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Stepwise versus single-step mandibular advancement with functional appliance in treating class  II patients
ConclusionsAlthough the magnitude of differences in clinical practice was limited, SWA might be more appropriate because it produces a  greater skeletal change and less dental compensation than SSA. As the level of current evidence is low, more high-quality RCTs are needed. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Does playing a  wind instrument influence tooth position and facial morphology?
ConclusionsPlaying a  wind instrument can influence tooth position and facial morphology in both children and adults. Aspects that stand out are overjet, arch width, facial divergence/convergence and lip thickness. However, evidence was sparse and the strength of the premise emerging from this review was graded to be “ very low”. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Discoloration of surface sealants by plaque disclosing solution
ConclusionSurface sealants show clinically relevant discoloration after exposure to plaque disclosing solution under in vitro conditions. Such discolorations could not be removed by professional tooth cleaning. Thus, in clinical practice, plaque disclosing solutions might cause esthetic deficits in surface sealant-treated teeth. The impact of plaque disclosing solutions under clinical conditions (e.g., in the presence of saliva and by various aspects of a person ’s nutrition) should be investigated in clinical studies.

Maxillary protraction in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate
ConclusionApplying the facemask after having followed the Alt-RAMEC protocol induced more skeletal, dentoalveolar and soft tissue changes in comparison to the conventional facemask protocol in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate.

Morphometric analysis of dental arch form changes in class  II patients treated with clear aligners
ConclusionsAlthough Invisalign ® treatment resulted in a significant increase in arch width according to the prescription, some of the outcomes were different than those planned especially in relation to the final position of the lower molars.

Upper canine response to rapid maxillary expander anchored to deciduous vs. permanent molars
ConclusionUsing RME in the early mixed dentition appears to be an effective procedure to increase the rate of eruption of maxillary canines, but the position of the bands on the upper second deciduous molars or on the upper first permanent molars and the significant different expansion of the upper dental arch at the canine level does not significantly influence the canine angulation following early treatment therapy.

Longitudinal changes in the dental arches and soft tissue profile of untreated subjects with normal occlusion
ConclusionIn untreated subjects with normal occlusion, dental arch and soft tissue parameters can be considered age-dependent. For some dental parameters, gender-specific differences were found that should be taken into consideration during diagnosis and treatment planning of growing children. The obtained longitudinal data of untreated children provide useful information for orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning and future research projects.
