Does low-frequency vibration have an effect on aligner treatment? A single-centre, randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsConsidering all tooth and movement types of the 45 participants, the mean total imprecision was 2.1 ± 0.9 degrees, with respect to a mean prescription of 5.7 ± 2.2 degrees. There was no difference in accuracy between replacing the aligners accompanied by low-frequency vibration every 7 days and replacing them every 14 days without vibration. Moreover, low-frequency vibration seemed to improve th e accuracy of a conventional protocol in terms of upper incisor rotation.Trial registrationThe German Clinical Trials Register (DRK00015613).

Additional appointments and discomfort associated with compliance-free fixed Class II corrector treatment: a systematic review
ConclusionsThe main source of discomfort from Forsus-type appliances appears to be soreness in the cheeks (low level of evidence with a weak recommendation strength). Most evaluated patients treated with a Herbst appliance, regardless of design, will experience complications (fractures and/or dislodging) requiring emergency appointments (low level of evidence with a weak recommendation strength).RegistrationThe review protocol was not registered.

CBCT in orthodontics: a systematic review on justification of CBCT in a paediatric population prior to orthodontic treatment
ConclusionsCBCT is justified only in those cases where conventional radiography fails to provide a correct diagnosis of pathology. Therefore, it cannot be regarded as a standard method of diagnosis. CBCT imaging may also be justified when it positively affects treatment options or provides treatment optimization.RegistrationNone.Conflict of interestNone to declare.

The fascinating world of non-coding RNA and how it may help to unravel the mysteries of tooth movement regulation
SummaryThe innovative study presented by Huang and co-workers in this issue of theEuropean Journal of Orthodontics is one of the first giving insight into the mostly disregarded world of non-coding ribonucleic acids in orthodontics. In other fields of science non-coding ribonucleic acids have been shown to play a major role in the regulation of cell metabolism as well as the aetiology of diseases such as cancer, Alzheimer ’s disease, and periodontitis. Their pilot study on the possible function of differentially expressed long non-coding ribonucleic acids during mechanical compression of periodontal ligament stem cells, ...

The retrospective study of 93 patients with transmigration of mandibular canine and a comparative analysis with a control group
ConclusionsTransmigration of mandibular canine was associated with the presence of retained primary canine on the affected side, higher mesial tilting of contralateral mandibular canine when compared to the canines in the control group. Additionally, higher prevalence of Angle ’s Class I occlusion in patients with canine transmigration was recorded. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

The long non-coding RNA landscape of periodontal ligament stem cells subjected to compressive force
ConclusionsThe lncRNA expression profile was significantly altered in PDLSCs subjected to compressive stress. These findings expand our understanding of molecular regulation in the mechanoresponse of PDLSCs. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Effects of systemic medication on root resorption associated with orthodontic tooth movement: a systematic review of animal studies
ConclusionsThe pharmaceutical substances investigated were shown to exhibit variable effects on root resorption. Although the overall quality of evidence provides the clinician with a cautious perspective on the strength of the relevant recommendations, good practice would suggest that it is important to identify patients consuming medications and consider the possible implications.RegistrationPROSPERO (CRD42017078208) (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)
