Assessment of the quality of different commercial providers using artificial intelligence for automated cephalometric analysis compared to human orthodontic experts
ConclusionFully automated cephalometric analyses are promising in terms of timesaving and avoidance of individual human errors. At present, however, they should only be used under supervision of experienced clinicians. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Perception of facial and dental asymmetries and their impact on oral health-related quality of life in children and adolescents
ConclusionAlthough girls perceived facial asymmetries more strongly than boys do, this perception could not be objectified by extraoral measurements. A  midline shift of 3 mm or more had a negative impact on the oral health-related quality of life of affected children and adolescents.

Can surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion (SARPE) be recommended over orthodontic rapid palatal expansion (ORPE) for girls above the age of  14?
ConclusionsSignificant maturation of MPS was reached at the age of  15 in a female population. The PMS, TPS, MPS, and ZMS closed sequentially. A comprehensive diagnostic approach is necessary for choosing the appropriate treatment. When in doubt, age could assist decision making in a female population, with a cut-off age of 15 years in favor of SARPE based on this study.

Radiodiagnostics of standard orthodontic radiographs —dental and extradental incidental findings
ConclusionsEven in daily routine practice, attention must be paid to a  thorough assessment of all radiographed regions. The factors time and professional experience can prevent practitioners from overlooking findings outside the orthodontic focus.

Acupressure versus NSAID for relief of orthodontic pain
ConclusionsThere was no significant difference in pain perception between participants using ibuprofen or acupressure and both groups recorded significantly lower pain than the control group at most of the observed timepoints. Results support the analgesic effect of the acupressure approach. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Validation of a  mathematical–geometrical model to calculate the length of an individual anterior arch
ConclusionsThe mathematical –geometrical model calculated anterior AL without significant difference to the measured AL, indicating its validity. The model can thus be used clinically for predicting alterations of AL following therapeutic changes of incisor inclination/position.

Prevalence and local causes for retention of primary teeth and the associated delayed permanent tooth eruption
ConclusionsThe incidence of RPT associated with delayed permanent tooth eruption in German children was high and the most common pathological condition associated with RPT was dental caries. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Changes in the distribution of occlusal forces in the course of the orthodontic retention phase
ConclusionsAll three studied retention protocols showed stability in retaining their original symmetrical or asymmetrical occlusal force distribution posteriorly/anteriorly during the 3 ‑month observation period. Therefore, an even distribution of occlusal forces should be the aim of the finishing phase, as no relative benefit of any single retention scheme in terms of post-debond improvement during the retention phase was seen.

Comparison of six different CAD/CAM retainers vs. the stainless steel twistflex retainer: an in  vitro investigation of survival rate and stability
ConclusionTwistflex retainers remain the gold standard regarding biomechanical properties and long-term sufficiency. Of the CAD/CAM retainers tested, Ti5 retainers seem to be the most suitable alternative. In contrast, all other CAD/CAM retainers investigated in this study showed high failure rates and had significantly lower Fmax values.

Comparison of enamel demineralization and periodontal status between direct and digital indirect bonding techniques
ConclusionThere were many locations around the brackets with significantly higher demineralization after 6  months in patients who received digital indirect bonding compared to the DB group. Although periodontal health was generally adequate, complete removal of adhesive flash should be carefully carried out to decrease the risk of demineralization during indirect bonding technique with digital workflow s.

Factors that may increase the risk of external apical root resorption during orthodontic treatment
ConclusionsThe orthodontic treatment protocols and the amount of tooth movements achieved were shown to be dependent on the severity of dental malocclusions and they have an influence on the amount of external apical root resorption that occurs during the course of orthodontic treatment.

Effect of use of antiseptics and fluorides during orthodontic treatment on working properties of NiTi archwires in levelling dental arches
ConclusionUsing antiseptics or a  high concentration of fluorides during orthodontic treatment does not significantly affect the mechanical properties of NiTi wires and would not have clinical implications in changing orthodontic biomechanics.
