Extractions, retention and stability: the search for orthodontic truth
Conclusions and implications: </div>Conscientious clinicians should try to develop individualized treatment plans for their patients, and not be influenced by treatment ‘philosophies’ with untested claims in clinical orthodontics.</span> (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Validity and reliability of three-dimensional palatal superimposition of digital dental models
ConclusionThe results indicate that OMSA offers a valid and reliable tool for 3D landmark-based digital dental models superimposition using 3 points marked along the midpalatal raphe as reference. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

The extent of root resorption and tooth movement following the application of ascending and descending magnetic forces: a prospective split mouth, microcomputed-tomography study
ConclusionsThere is no short-term (8 weeks) statistically significant difference between orthodontic ascending and descending forces, from 25 to 225 g and from 225 to 25 g, respectively, in term of severity and location of OIIRR as well as the amount of tooth movement. The buccal surface of the root showed highest degree of OIIRR compared to other root ’s surfaces. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Comparing the effectiveness profile of pharmacological interventions used for orthodontic pain relief: an arm-based multilevel network meta-analysis of longitudinal data
ConclusionCompared to the Control, Placebo was least effective whereas Etoricoxib was the most effective analgesic in reducing orthodontic pain. Administration timing has significant influence on the effectiveness profile of analgesics routinely used for managing orthodontic pain. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

ROC surface assessment of the ANB angle and Wits appraisal ’s diagnostic performance with a statistically derived ‘gold standard’: does normalizing measurements have any merit?
ConclusionThe conventional ANB and Wits do not differ in their diagnostic performance. Normalizing the measurements does seem to have some merit. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Short-term hard and soft tissue changes after mandibular advancement surgery in Class II patients: a retrospective cephalometric study
ConclusionClass II characteristics improved after mandibular advancement. Soft tissues of the chin follow their skeletal structures almost in a 1:1 relationship, while movement of the lower lip was less predictable. The facial pattern of Class II patients should be considered in treatment planning. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Structural, morphological, compositional, and mechanical changes of palatal implants after use: a retrieval analysis
ConclusionsThe results of this study indicate that retrieved palatal implant surface has undergone morphological and elemental alterations probably associated with the osseointegration process during service. Insertion and functional loading did not affect the mechanical properties of implants tested. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

The effect of headgear on upper third molars: a retrospective longitudinal study
ConclusionThis study indicates that the use of headgear in growing patients significantly affects the space available for upper third molars. However, orthodontic treatment with headgear does not influence the angulation, vertical position and development stage of upper third molars. It is therefore important to always take into account third molars during treatment planning. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Incisor inclination and perceived tooth colour changes
ConclusionsProclination of upper incisors caused lighter tooth colour parameters compared to retroclined incisors and colour changes. Orthodontic change of upper incisor inclination may induce alterations on how tooth colour is perceived. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Does systemic administration of casein phosphopeptides affect orthodontic movement and root resorption in rats?
ConclusionsCPP seems to have statistically insignificant effect on the volume of OIIRR and orthodontic movement in rats. A long-term study with larger sample size using a different concentration of CPP is required to clarify the dentoalveolar effect of CPP. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Orthodontically induced cervical root resorption in humans is associated with the amount of tooth movement
ConclusionApplication of a 1 N force over a 2-month period provokes severe root resorption at the compression cervical sites. Resorption is correlated with the amount of tooth movement and the location of the teeth. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Compositional differences in multi-species biofilms formed on various orthodontic adhesives
ConclusionsConsidering the greater differences in SR than SFE among the adhesives, the rougher surface of RMGI may cause greater adhesion of Sm, Ss, and Pg. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Comparison of the force levels among labial and lingual self-ligating and conventional brackets in simulated misaligned teeth
Conclusions/implicationsLingual bracket systems showed higher forces compared to labial bracket systems that might be of clinical concern. We recommend highly flexible nickel titanium arch wires lower than 0.013-in for the initial levelling and alignment especially with lingual appliances. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

The integration of orthodontic miniscrews under mechanical loading: a pre-clinical study in rabbit
ConclusionsOur data indicate that SAE miniscrews have higher bone retention than MA miniscrews, although the effects of mechanical loading of these devices on cortical bone require further investigations. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)
