ConclusionsThere is insufficient evidence to support the claim that SVFs have positive clinical advantages in the alignment of the anterior teeth. The potential positive effects of vibrational forces on space closure, pain experience, and root resorption in orthodontic patients are inconclusive with no sufficient information at present. High-quality clinical trials with larger sample sizes are needed to find more comprehensive evidence of the potential positive effects of vibrational forces.RegistrationThe protocol for this systematic review was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42018098788).FundingThis study has not received any...

Effectiveness of different debonding techniques and adjunctive methods on pain and discomfort perception during debonding fixed orthodontic appliances: a systematic review
Conclusions and implicationsThere is weak evidence indicating that using the LODI may reduce PDP of labial fixed appliances. Adjunctive measures such as an intrusive force with finger pressure, bite wafers, and preoperative analgesia may further aid PDP control. Further well-designed parallel-group RCTs taking into consideration the diurnal variation in pain are required.RegistrationPROSPERO (CRD42017084474).FundingNone.Conflict of InterestThe authors declare that there is no conflict of interest.

Dental root development associated with treatments by rapid maxillary expansion/reverse headgear and slow maxillary expansion
ConclusionsRME&RHg therapy inhibits root development of maxillary and mandibular teeth in the early period. However, further studies should be performed to determine whether this effect on root development is reversible or irreversible. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Facial attractiveness of cleft patients: a direct comparison between artificial-intelligence-based scoring and conventional rater groups
ConclusionsAI-based results were comparable with the average scores of cleft patients seen in all three rating groups (with especially strong agreement to both professional panels) but overall lower for control cases. The variance observed in panel ratings revealed a large imprecision based on a problematic absence of unity.ImplicationCurrent panel-based evaluations of facial attractiveness suffer from dispersion-related issues and remain practically unavailable for patients. AI could become a helpful tool to describe facial attractiveness, but the present results indicate that important adjustments are needed on AI models...

Change in alveolar bone level of mandibular second and third molars after second molar protraction into missing first molar or second premolar space
ConclusionsAfter second molar protraction into the missing first molar or second premolar space, mandibular second molars may exhibit alveolar bone resorption in the distal root in older patients and in those with mesially tilted third molars before treatment.

Stage- and tissue-specific effect of cyclophosphamide during tooth development
ConclusionDefective phenotypes were evident in both crown and roots due to the effect of CPA. Interestingly, the severity of the phenotypes was associated with the developmental stages of the tooth germs at the time of CPA administration. The cap/early bell stage is the most susceptive timing for tooth agenesis, whereas the late bell stage is predominantly affected in terms of root formation by CPA administration.

Piezocision-assisted orthodontic treatment using CAD/CAM customized orthodontic appliances: a randomized controlled trial in adults
ConclusionsPiezocision seems to be an effective method to accelerate orthodontic treatment in cases of mild overcrowding. However, the effect was only observed during the alignment phase and a greater efficiency was found in the maxilla. The technique may be contraindicated in patients with a high smile line since the risk of slight scarring exists.RegistrationClinicalTrails.gov (Identifier: NCT03406130) (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Morphometric analysis of the palatal shape and arch dimension in subjects with palatally displaced canine
ConclusionsPatients with palatally displaced permanent canine showed no maxillary transverse constriction or variation in palatal vault morphology but the absence of permanent teeth was associated with a reduction in the intercanine width. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Does long-term use of pain relievers have an impact on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement? A systematic review of animal studies
ConclusionsLong-term consumption of pain relievers may affect the rate of orthodontic tooth movement. The orthodontist should be capable of identifying patients taking pain relievers independently of orthodontic treatment and consider the possible implications.Trial registrationPROSPERO (CRD42017078208).
