A Clinician's Perspective on Indications and Failures of Bone-Borne Maxillary Expanders
With the increasing popularity of bone-borne maxillary expansion in conferences, social media and publications, the promotion of the procedure may outpace the availability of high-quality evidence, leading to potential biases in its use. This paper offers a clinician's perspective on indications and failures in different age groups and stresses the importance of prioritizing diagnostics over appliance-centered treatment. Understanding individual variations in sutural fusion or similar diagnostic strategies will be increasingly crucial in identifying the appropriate expansion method. (Source: Seminars in Orthodontics)

Scope of Clear Aligner Therapy (CAT) in Phase I (early) Orthodontic Treatment
Phase I (early) orthodontic treatment is intended to correct developing skeletal, dentoalveolar, and muscular imbalances, and to improve the orofacial environment before the permanent teeth eruption. The orthodontic intervention in mixed dentition provides orthodontist a unique opportunity to apply their reasoning and understanding in addressing an impending malocclusion and avoid or limit the use of Phase II treatment. This paper describes the application of clear aligner therapy (CAT) in growing individuals. (Source: Seminars in Orthodontics)

Regeneration of the alveolar bone after autotransplantation of teeth in children
Autotransplantation of immature teeth proved to be a successful treatment to replace lost or congenitally missing teeth. Only few papers reported the status of the alveolar bone after autotransplantation, despite the common belief that bone forms around transplanted teeth. This paper describes the treatment of two young patients, who underwent autotransplantation of an immature premolar and a third molar to the recipient sites where extensive atrophy of the alveolar bone was diagnosed before the surgery.

Everybody gets an expander
RME was invented by Emerson Angell in 1860.1 His case report was published in the Dental Cosmos, the first national journal for the dental profession. Angell's patient was a 14-year-old girl fitted with a transpalatal appliance that featured two counter-rotating screws. After two weeks of turning the screws on her own, she returned to his office with her crossbite corrected and a small midline diastema. Angell concluded that the palatal bones must have separated. Unfortunately, his theory was rejected by his contemporaries, which resulted in a clinical moratorium for the appliance for nearly a century. (Source: Seminars in Orthodontics)

The evolution of maxillary protraction techniques in the early management of Class III malocclusion
Appliances and techniques prescribed in the early management of Class III malocclusion have varied throughout the years. Earlier, tooth-anchored protraction facemask therapy was prescribed to correct the skeletal maxillary deficiency associated with Class III malocclusion. More recently, bone-anchored mechanism for maxillary protraction has been introduced and it has been used in conjunction with the conventional facemask or Class III elastics. Proponents of orthopedic treatment highlight the importance of early treatment and improvement of the skeletal discrepancy which, in turn, would minimize the severity of future dent...

Digital Bonded Twin Block a new no-compliance device to treat skeletal class II malocclusion in mixed dentition: design, fabrication, and clinical management
The aim of this scientific article is to describe a new device for the treatment of skeletal class 2 malocclusion. The appliance named Digital Bonded Twin Block is a fixed orthodontic device used to correct skeletal class II malocclusion in mixed dentition and designed with a standardized digital workflow.The digital workflow allows full appliance customization creating a perfect adaptation of the four blocks with patient dental anatomy thus optimizing bonding procedures and block retention.Blocks construction and the use of transfer transparent trays supporting the bonding procedure of the blocks is also documented and de...

Autotransplanation of immature premolars to replace a severely traumatized maxillary central incisor in young patients: orthodontic and surgical cooperation.
Young patients with a severely traumatized maxillary central incisor have limited possibilities to restore its loss. Autotransplantation of immature premolars has been documented as a predictable long-term outcome with the potential for preservation and regeneration of alveolar bone. They can also be successfully reshaped to the central incisor's morphology using direct composite build-ups. However, tooth transplantation is a technique sensitive procedure and requires good case selection, an understanding of relevant tooth transplantation biological principles and careful execution of the optimal surgical and follow-up pro...

An evidence-based stepwise approach to orthopedic treatment
Treatment protocols help organize data for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. The aim was to develop a logical series of steps predicated on the latest credible body of evidence. The steps were developed for Class II patients with hyperdivergent growth patterns. The steps include establishing 1) the patient's problem list to determine the treatment objectives; 2) the theoretical basis modifying growth; 3) the etiology of the problem 4) the growth mechanisms that produce normal growth, and 5) a practical and realistic treatment approach.

Treatment protocols help organize data for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. The aim was to develop a logical series of steps predicated on the latest credible body of evidence. such steps were developed using the Class II malocclusion with hyperdivergent pattern. The steps include problem description on objective information (1) that allows setting the treatment objectives; establishing the theroretical basis of treatment (2) then the etiology of the malocclusion by reverse engineering its development; defining the biological mechanisms for a pathway towards normal development; and finally identification of an ev...
