Dentoskeletal effects of early class III treatment protocol based on timing of intervention in children
ConclusionsNo significant differences between prepubertal and pubertal patients were found in the sagittal and vertical dentoskeletal changes with the modified SEC III protocol. Thus, this early Class III treatment produced similar favorable effects in growing subjects regardless of the cervical vertebral maturation stages from CS1 to CS4. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

The effect of two different types of forces on possible root resorption in relation to dentin phosphoprotein levels: a single-blind, split-mouth, randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsDentin phosphoprotein was found to be a useful early biomarker to detect and monitor root resorption, showing that the application of an intermittent orthodontic force caused less root resorption than a continuous force.Trial registrationNCT04825665 ClinicalTrials.gov.

Are orthodontic randomised controlled trials justified with a citation of an appropriate systematic review?
ConclusionsA quarter of orthodontic RCTs (24.5%) included in this study did not cite a SR in the introduction section to justify the rationale of the trial when a relevant SR was available. To reduce research waste and optimal usage of resources, researchers should identify or conduct a systematic review of the evidence to support the rationale and justification of the trial.

Validating clinical characteristics of primary failure of eruption (PFE) associated with PTH1R variants
ConclusionsWe report here that systematic clinical and radiographic observation using a diagnostic rubric is highly valuable in confirming PFE and offers a reliable alternative for accurate diagnosis. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Optimal sites for orthodontic anchor screw placement using panoramic images: risk of maxillary sinus perforation and contact with adjacent tooth roots during screw placement
ConclusionsSawtooth-like sinus depression had increased risk of maxillary sinus perforation, suggesting that OAS placement in this region should be avoided. In contrast, OAS placement between 6.5 and 8 mm from the alveolar crest is advisable in patients with funnel-like sinus depression and at a site > 8 mm from the alveolar crest in those with a non-depressed sinus.

Clinical effects with customized brackets and CAD/CAM technology: a prospective controlled study
ConclusionIn comparison with a direct bonded self-ligating bracket system the use of indirect bonded customized CAD/CAM brackets showed only minor influence on treatment efficiency and treatment outcomes. Transversal expansion, deep bite correction, expression of torque and anchorage loss remain challenges in the treatment with straight-wire appliances.Trial registration DRKS, DRKS00024350.

Impact of the prefabricated forms of NiTi archwires on orthodontic forces delivered to the mandibular dental arch
ConclusionThese findings suggest that there is a possible risk of a clinically significant level of unfavorable orthodontic force being delivered to the mandibular incisors in labial inclination when using a preformed archwire with an ICW that is narrower than the dental arch.

Three-dimensional assessment of airway volumes in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate
ConclusionsNine- to twelve-year-old non-syndromic unilateral CLP patients have smaller pharyngeal airway dimensions than non-cleft controls, and are therefore at higher risk of respiratory insufficiency. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)

Biomechanical effects of Skeletally anchored Class III elastics on the maxillofacial complex: a 3D finite element analysis
ConclusionSignificant displacement of maxillofacial sutures and structures was witnessed with I-SAMP with maxillary expansion and Class III elastics for correction of Skeletal Class III with maxillary retrognathism. Thus, I-SAMP with maxillary expansion is a desired protocol for treatment of maxillary retrognathism. However, the prescribed angulation of the Class III elastics should be as low as possible to maximise the desired effects. (Source: Progress in Orthodontics)
