Evaluation of root resorption following orthodontic intrusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis
ConclusionsOrthodontic intrusion, evaluated as an isolated mechanic, caused less than 1 mm of OIRR, which is within the acceptable limits for clinical implication. Treatment-related factors did not show a significant influence on OIRR.RegistrationThis review was registered in PROSPERO, protocol number CRD42018098495.

Outcome quality of Class II division 1 Herbst-multibracket appliance treatment: influence of pretreatment Class II severity and skeletal maturity
ConclusionClass II:1 Herbst-MBA Tx is an effective and successful Tx approach irrespective of pre-Tx skeletal maturity but dependent —to a certain extent—on Class II severity. Thus, when considering a Herbst appliance for Class II correction, neither of the two variables should considerably limit the indication. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Influence of BMI percentile on craniofacial morphology and development in children and adolescents
ConclusionsObese/overweight children and adolescents have proportionally larger antero-posterior and vertical dimensions and are more likely to experience advanced dental and skeletal maturation. Obese/overweight subjects may enter their growth spurt at a younger age and have earlier eruption of teeth, affecting treatment timing. BMI percentile should be a consideration for orthodontic treatment in growing patients. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

The effects of mandibular osteotomy on maxillary orthodontic tooth movement and bone remodelling in a rat model
ConclusionData from the present study suggested that mandibular osteotomy accelerates maxillary osteoclast activity and post-operative tooth movement, providing evidence for accelerated tooth movement phenomenon after orthognathic surgery. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

The Sheldon Friel Memorial Lecture 2020 It ’s not just about the teeth: Patient-centred Orthodontics*
SummaryThe provision of high-quality health care involves many different aspects, including safety, effectiveness, efficiency, and patient centredness. In order for care to be truly patient centred requires patients ’ views being sought and considered, and this may be achieved through patient-centred research. Patient-centred research is fundamentally important in contemporary health care and has many benefits; for example, it ensures that research is relevant, identifies those aspects of care that are import ant to patients, provides information that is important to current and future patients, and allows the integratio...

Dental arch changes comparison between expander with differential opening and fan-type expander: a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsMaxillary arch width and shape changes were distinct between the EDO and the FE. Greater transversal increases of the anterior and posterior regions were observed for the FE and the EDO, respectively. A slightly greater mandibular spontaneous expansion was observed for the EDO only at the molar region.Trial registrationNCT03705871. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Comparison between conventional and piezocision-assisted orthodontics in relieving anterior crowding: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions and implicationsAccording to the existing evidence, piezocision is effective in reducing tooth alignment time and alleviating crowding when compared to conventional therapy. Pain levels showed insignificant differences revealed in meta-analysis. Weak evidence suggests that there are no negative effects on periodontal health and root resorption after performing piezocision.RegistrationPROSPERO (CRD42019134398).

Perception of pain in Class II malocclusion children treated with cervical headgear: a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsOrthodontic pain and discomfort following orthodontic separator placement and cervical headgear wear depends on factors including age, previous pain experience, and the level of IL-1 β in the GCF. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)

Computer-aided indirect bonding versus traditional direct bonding of orthodontic brackets: bonding time, immediate bonding failures, and cost-minimization. A randomized controlled trial
ConclusionsThe clinical chair time was significantly shorter for computer-aided indirect bonding than for direct bonding. However, the total bonding time for computer-aided indirect, including digital bracket placement, was longer than for direct bonding. There were significantly more immediate debondings with computer-aided indirect bonding than with direct bonding. Under these conditions, computer-aided indirect bonding was more expensive than direct bonding.RegistrationThis trial was retrospectively registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (University of Aarhus Protocol Record 10101).ProtocolThe protocol was not published befor...

Skeletal and dentoalveolar effects using tooth-borne and tooth-bone-borne RME appliances: a randomized controlled trial with 1-year follow-up
ConclusionsIn young preadolescents with constricted maxilla and no signs of upper airway obstruction, it seems that conventional TB RME achieves the same clinical results with good stability 1 year post-expansion at lower cost.Trial registrationThe trial was not registered.

Short- and long-term treatment with TNF- α inhibits the induction of osteoblastic differentiation in cyclic tensile-stretched periodontal ligament fibroblasts
ConclusionIncreased concentrations of TNF- α, such as those recorded in many inflammatory diseases, suppress PDLF’s immediate responses to mechanical forces compromising their osteoblastic differentiation potential, possibly leading to tissue’s impaired homeostasis.

Comparison of pain perception, anxiety, and impacts on oral health-related quality of life between patients receiving clear aligners and fixed appliances during the initial stage of orthodontic treatment
ConclusionsPatients treated with clear aligners experienced lower pain levels, less anxiety, and higher OHRQoL as compared to those receiving fixed appliances. (Source: The European Journal of Orthodontics)
