Cephalometric analysis of parents of patients with cleft lip and/or palate
ConclusionParents of children with CL  ± P showed variations in craniofacial morphology. Future research correlating cephalometric findings with genetic studies may indicate whether cephalometric analysis can be an adjunct to genetic tests for risk prediction among susceptible parents.

Influence of surface treatments on the bond strength of metal brackets to CAD/CAM materials and discoloration after various refinishing procedures
ConclusionCAD/CAM material types and surface treatments affected the bond strength, but the interactions of these factors did not. The chosen surface treatment also significantly affected the ∆E00 after the polishing was done. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Comparative assessment of frictional forces between differently designed esthetic brackets during simulated canine retraction
ConclusionsThe round-cornered conventional-ligating bracket showed less FR when compared to sharp-cornered conventional-ligating bracket. Conversely, the round-cornered conventional-ligating bracket exhibited greater FR when compared to the round-cornered self-ligating bracket, with an exception with respect to the 0.018 ″ wire. In general, FR increased with increased wire dimension. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Inadvertent side effects of fixed lingual retainers
ConclusionSide effects emerge under specific circumstances: an altered adhesive compound combined with the presence of oral forces. Compounds with lost adhesion at the composite –wire interface showed rotational moments in the direction of the wire windings even during low tensile forces similar to those that may occur in clinical settings. Opposite rotational moments leading to unwinding of the wire may occur in cases with adhered compounds at higher tensile forces. Util ization of round triple-stranded retainer wires without bent ends are of higher risk to induce inadvertent side effects. (Source: Journal of Orofacial ...

Google searches for bruxism, teeth grinding, and teeth clenching during the COVID-19 pandemic
ConclusionThe study showed that the relative search volume for bruxism, teeth grinding, and teeth clenching, as an indication of public interest and demand, was increased both worldwide and in the United States during the May –October 2020 period compared to similar periods of the previous 4 years. Dentists should address this increased public interest and demand for information seeking for bruxism. Follow-up studies monitoring long-term interest as a real-time surveillance and evaluating whether increased internet s earches are linked to an actual increase or worsening of bruxism and its symptoms in the clinic are req...

Comparison of multiforce nickel –titanium wires to multistrand wires without force zones in bending and torque measurements
ConclusionThe tests verified the existence of multiple force zones in the NiTi wires for forces and moments, respectively. As the torque –moments arising from the multizone wires were rather high, it is not recommended to use these wires as a first “leveling wire” in orthodontic treatment, especially in extremely crowded cases.

Effects of rapid maxillary expansion or alternating rapid maxillary expansion and constriction on nasal mucociliary clearance
ConclusionThis study demonstrated that the Alt-RAMEC protocol improved MCC and had a  positive effect on nasal physiology by increasing the nasal volume more than that achieved by RME. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Differential gene expression response of synovial fibroblasts from temporomandibular joints and knee joints to dynamic tensile stress
ConclusionsOsteoarthritis-related ECM remodelling markers experience almost no changes in strain-induced gene expression, whereas inflammation and bone remodelling processes seem to differ depending on synovial fibroblast origin. Our data indicate that risk factors for the development and progression of osteoarthritis such as mechanical overuse have a  different pathological impact in the TMJ compared to the knee joint.

Standardized assessment of bone micromorphometry around teeth following orthodontic tooth movement
ConclusionWithin the limits of the study, the novel approach demonstrated the applicability to evaluate bone micromorphometry around teeth subjected to orthodontic treatment. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Bond strength, degree of conversion, and microorganism adhesion using different bracket-to-enamel bonding protocols
ConclusionThe CC resin does not reduce adhesion ofS. mutans around orthodontic brackets and the bonding protocol did not influence the SBS, although the SE and A_XT groups contributed to a  better DC. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Individual dental and skeletal age assessment according to Demirjian and Baccetti: Updated norm values for Central-European patients
ConclusionOptimised norms, separated by gender, increase precision in determining individual dental and skeletal age during orthodontic treatment planning. Further studies analysing the effect of skeletal class on dental and skeletal development are needed. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Age-dependent interactions of maxillary sutures during RME and their effects on palatal morphology
ConclusionThe comparison of selected CBCT data with a  dental cast analysis allows the conclusion that the maxillary expansion after RME in children up to 10 years is rather parallel, whereas it occurs V‑shaped (anterior >  posterior transversal, inferior >  superior vertical) with increasing age, especially in adolescents from the age of 12. In addition to an age-progressive rigidity of the pterygopalatomaxillary junction, morphological changes of the transverse palatine suture during growth seem to be causal. Thus, age-dependent effects of palatal expansion occur due to a positional change of maxillar...

Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) analysis of mutations in nonsyndromic tooth agenesis candidate genes
ConclusionsVariations inMSX1, WNT10A, AXIN2, KRT17, LRP6, andSMOC2 may be a  risk factor for hypodontia or oligodontia in the Turkish population. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)

Information on the Internet about clear aligner treatment —an assessment of content, quality, and readability
ConclusionsOverall, the quality of web-based information about clear aligners was poor and the readability of the data was insufficient. Websites presenting high-quality data with better readability are needed for potential aligner patients. (Source: Journal of Orofacial Orthopedics/Fortschritte der Kieferorthopadie)
