An exploratory quality assessment of orthodontic clinical guidelines using the AGREE II instrument
ConclusionsIn relation to the AGREE II instrument, the quality of orthodontic guidelines for use in clinical practice are deemed sub-optimal. Variation in the quality of guidelines produced different organizations is evident. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Impact of adenotonsillectomy on the dentofacial development of obstructed children: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionThe available literature suggests that treatment of hypertrophic adenoids and/or tonsils affects dentofacial deformity. This could indicate a relationship between nasopharyngeal obstruction (i.e. upper airway obstruction) and the dentofacial growth pattern. However, the high risk of bias and considerable diversity between studies impedes a clear conclusion regarding this effect.RegistrationNone. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

The nasopalatine canal, a limiting factor for temporary anchorage devices: a cone beam computed tomography data study
ConclusionsVertical bone volume is sufficient at 4/5 level for TAD placement, and bares only a small risk for neuro-sensory impairment. Therefore, only in rare cases a CBCT is justified for palatal implant placement. The course of the nasopalatine canal is negatively correlated with the vertical skeletal facial pattern pointing to the fact that in hypodivergent patients a TAD might be placed in a more distal or paramedian region.

Instability of palatal rugae following rapid maxillary expansion
ConclusionsThe results suggest a variable trend in the rugae response to expansion, likely reflecting the constitutional asymmetric pattern or nature of pairs of rugae. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Three-dimensional evaluation of the maxillary arch and palate in unilateral cleft lip and palate subjects using digital dental casts
ConclusionsThree-dimensional evaluation of the maxillary arch and palate highlighted significant differences between UCLP and non-UCLP subjects in mixed dentition phase, suggesting that orthopaedic maxillary expansion is advisable in UCLP. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Negative effect of malocclusion on the emotional and social well-being of Brazilian adolescents: a population-based study
ConclusionsAdolescents with handicapping malocclusion, where the need for treatment was mandatory, suffered from a greater negative impact on quality of life, with emotional and social aspects most affected. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Excellent versus unacceptable orthodontic results: influencing factors
ConclusionPatient cooperation remains the outstanding parameter determining treatment success. A proportionally higher frequency of unacceptable treatment results must be expected in patients with open bite configurations (skeletally, dentally, and functionally).

Morphometric covariation between palatal shape and skeletal pattern in Class II growing subjects
ConclusionsClass II high-angle patients tended to have narrower and higher palates, while Class II low-angle patients were related to wider and more shallow palates. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Effect of fluoride-releasing resin composite in white spot lesions prevention: a single-centre, split-mouth, randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsFluoride-containing resin adhesive does not have the desired preventive effect to prevent demineralization and WSL formation, during orthodontic treatment with fixed appliance.Registration and ProtocolThis randomized trial was not registered, and the protocol was not published before patient recruitment.FundingThe University of Damascus funded this trial.

Influence of long-term in vivo exposure, debris accumulation and archwire material on friction force among different types of brackets and archwires couples
ConclusionA significant correlation was seen between friction force and bracket type, while treatment duration, amount of debris accumulation, archwire material or their manufacturer was not significantly correlated to it. Nevertheless, higher friction forces were measured amongin vivo aged SL brackets in comparison with as-received ones. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)
