Clinical comparison between Multi-Stranded Wires and Single strand Ribbon wires used for lingual fixed retainers
ConclusionsAlthough the conventional twisted stainless steel wire and single-strand titanium flat metal ribbon wire as fixed orthodontic retainers have the same clinical effects, it was shown that the ribbon wire has less failure in terms of detachments. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Serum DHEA-S levels could be used as a comparable diagnostic test to assess the pubertal growth spurt in dentofacial orthopedics
ConclusionsThe mean serum DHEA-S levels followed a typical pattern from the CS 1 till CS 6 which was comparable and similar to the mean serum IGF-1 levels in respect to CS stages. Thus, serum DHEA-S levels could be used as a possible diagnostic test for the assessment of the skeletal pubertal growth spurt in dentofacial orthopedics. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Clinical outcomes and patient perspectives of Dental Monitoring ® GoLive® with Invisalign®—a retrospective cohort study
ConclusionThe DM group had a significantly reduced number of appointments (7.56) compared with the control group (9.82) (a reduction of 23%) over the treatment duration. There were no significant differences between the two groups in treatment duration, number of refinements, number of refinement aligners, or time to 1st refinement. Overall, DM was well received by patients. However, there was a small percentage (usually less than 15%) that was generally unsatisfied with DM in varying aspects and preferred more frequent, tradi tional office visits.

Skeletal growth in class II malocclusion from childhood to adolescence: does the profile straighten?
ConclusionsA slight straightening of the facial profile was observed in both groups with a statistically significant greater reduction in ANB arising in the group with larger baseline overjet. This translated into a marginal reduction in the overjet in this group. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Dentoskeletal effects of the maxillary splint headgear in the early correction of Class II malocclusion
ConclusionsBoth groups showed favorable skeletal mandibular changes, which was more significant in the MSG. Regarding tooth movement, the maxillary splint headgear was more effective in uprighting upper incisors and reducing the overjet than cervical headgear appliance. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Prevalence of posterior alveolar bony dehiscence and fenestration in adults with posterior crossbite: a CBCT study
ConclusionsAdult subjects with posterior crossbite had a higher prevalence of total bony defects and dehiscence, especially buccal dehiscence, in the posterior region than subjects with no posterior crossbite. This was due to the high prevalence observed in the noncrossbite teeth in posterior crossbite subjects. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Effect of mini-screw-facilitated micro-osteoperforation on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement: a single-center, split-mouth, randomized, controlled trial
ConclusionThe MOP procedure was effective in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement, although the amount of acceleration was not clinically significant in the case of canine retraction. An increase in the number of MOPs resulted in a significant acceleration of the canine retraction.Trial registrationThe trial was registered 30 November 2018 at the Iranian Registry of Clinical Trials (IRCT20181121041713N1).

RFA measurements of survival midpalatal orthodontic mini-implants in comparison to initial healing period
ConclusionThe stability of midpalatal mini-implants does not change in the long term after the initial healing period. Moreover, 2 × 9 mm mini-implants seem to be appropriate for orthodontic anchorage, as the stability of 2 × 11 mm implants is not higher. Therefore, owing to lower invasiveness, 2 × 9 mm implants should be preferred. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)
