To improve accessibility and facilitate the procedure for clinicians, a guided approach for TAD insertion in the palatal vault, using insertion guides, has become increasingly prevalent. The manuscript primarily focuses on the real advantages and possible disadvantages that clinicians can expect when using insertion guides during TAD insertion into the palatal vault. Safety, precise evaluation of insertion depth, and the potential to execute a \"one-visit protocol\" are examined. Indeed, both direct and indirect palatal insertion protocols result to be efficient and safe in daily practice. The use of insertion guides result to be particularly beneficial for less experienced clinicians as well as for more complex patients and impacted teeth cases. Insertion guides can be created overlapping intraoral scanning to cbct or also to lateral teleradiograph, with sufficient accuracy and lower radiation exposure. However this method is limited in achieving bicortical evaluation, as well as relations to incisive canal and nasal floor. Finally a case report is presented, describing a full digital orthodontic treatment of a young adult patient presenting narrow maxilla. Slow maxillary expansion and fixed orthodontic treatment are described.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48688,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Orthodontics","volume":"31 1","pages":"Pages 91-97"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141408842","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It involves skills of radiographic interpretation and mental visualization. To master these, postgraduate students learn to interpret 2D and 3D X-rays to locate these canines accurately. This process demands the creation of mental models of the impaction and resolving it either by envisioning the canine's movement to its correct position or considering its removal. To facilitate this cognitive exercise, a 3D-printed simulator, derived from Cone Beam Computed Tomography scans, serves as a tool to allow students to experiment with various movement simulations, helping them select the most viable treatment approach.</div><div>This project aimed to assess the differences in expert and novice orthodontists’ clinical reasoning for impacted maxillary canines, and whether the addition of a 3D simulator would affect their reasoning. Thirteen (13) novices randomly assigned to a control and intervention group and three (3) experts took part in a Think-Aloud exercise to diagnose and treatment plan a case of bilaterally impacted maxillary canines. Experts and intervention group novices had the 3D simulator in addition to standardized patient records. Their responses were recorded and analyzed according to a coding scheme reflecting the clinical reasoning process. While experts demonstrated quick clinical judgment and found the 3D simulator redundant, novices were more uncertain and required additional cues.
