The effect of the local administration of biological substances on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement: a systematic review of human studies
Conclusions and implicationsDespite the methodological limitations of the included studies, this systematic review provides an important overview of the effects of a variety of biological agents on the rate of tooth movement and elucidates the deficiencies in the clinical studies that have been conducted so far to evaluate the effectiveness of these agents in humans, providing some guidelines for future robust research.Trial registrationPROSPERO (CRD42020168481,www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero) (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Comparative evaluation of fluoride varnishes, self-assembling peptide-based remineralization agent, and enamel matrix protein derivative on artificial enamel remineralization in vitro
ConclusionsThe fluorescence loss was significantly reduced with enamel matrix protein, self-assembling peptide, and light-curable fluoride varnishes in the analysis for 21 days. Curodont and Clinpro XT were effective in diminishing the fluorescence loss and lesion area compared to the Duraphat, Enamel Pro fluoride varnishes, and Emdogain in different time points.

The effect of sandblasting and acid etching on survival rate of orthodontic miniscrews: a split-mouth randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsAlthough sandblasting increased removal torque, it did not influence the survival rate of orthodontic miniscrews significantly. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Author self-citation in orthodontics is associated with author origin and gender
ConclusionsAuthors in orthodontics do not self-cite at a frequency that suggests potential citation manipulation. Author origin and gender were the only variables associated with citations counts. More bibliometric research is necessary to draw solid conclusions about author self-citation trends in orthodontic literature. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Twin study —genetic comparison of matrix versus intramatrix rotation in the mandible and three different occlusal planes
ConclusionBased on these findings that showed a strong genetic effect on total rotation and matrix rotation, maintaining these rotations should be carefully considered in the orthodontic treatment plan, while the lower border of the mandible may be responsive to various treatments. Occlusal plane change, especially with regard to the functional occlusal plane, may not be stable due to strong genetic influences. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Effects of 405-, 532-, 650-, and 940-nm wavelengths of low-level laser therapies on orthodontic tooth movement in rats
ConclusionsThe results of this study show that LLLT with 650-nm wavelength increases orthodontic tooth movement more than 405-nm, 532-nm, and 940-nm LLLTs. The 940-nm and 650-nm LLLTs also increase the bone area between the roots by more than 405-nm and 532-nm wavelengths. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Large overjet as a risk factor of traumatic dental injuries: a prospective longitudinal study
ConclusionIn this prospective study, overjet stood out among variables as the most significant risk factor of TDI: an increased overjet of 6 mm or more had a major impact on the risk of trauma, which would speak in favor of early orthodontic correction of an increased overjet to reduce the prevalence of dental trauma (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Evaluation of temperature rise in the pulp during various IPR techniques —an in vivo study
ConclusionNone of the methods used to perform interproximal enamel reduction caused a temperature increase more than 5.5 °C, beyond which pulp necrosis may occur. Therefore, all three methods used in the study for IPR were found to be safe. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

A prospective clinical trial of the effects produced by the extrusion arch in the treatment of anterior open bite
ConclusionsThe use of a maxillary extrusion arch was effective in the treatment of AOB. Overbite increased due to incisor extrusion, as well as retroinclination and overjet reduction. However, side effects, such as mesial molar tipping and decreases in arch perimeter and length might occur. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Duration of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances in adolescents and adults: a systematic review with meta-analysis
ConclusionsWhile existing evidence does not indicate a difference in the overall duration of treatment with fixed appliances between adults and adolescents, the alignment of palatally displaced canines lasted significantly longer in adults. However, our confidence in these estimates is low due to the risk of bias in the included studies.Trial registrationPROSPERO: (CRD42019148169) (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Comparison of the accuracy of intraoral scans between complete-arch scan and quadrant scan
ConclusionThe scanning accuracy has a difference between complete-arch scanning and quadrant scanning, particularly in the posterior teeth. Careful consideration is needed to avoid scanning inaccuracy for maxillary or mandibular complete-arch, particularly in the posterior area because a complete-arch scan might have potential error than a quadrant scan.

ConclusionsIn facial asymmetry, the right/left differences in mandibular condyle and mandible have more impact on the menton deviation than the right/left differences in glenoid fossa.Trial registrationCNUDH,CNUDH-EXP-2017-016. Registered 28 September 2017 (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)
