Methods A total of 3,240 orthodontic patients were classified as Class I, Class II, or Class III malocclusion groups. The presence and location of common DAs, including impaction, microdontia, agenesis, supernumerary tooth, transposition, and fusion, were identified by examining diagnostic records. Furthermore, samples were classified as Group 1 without impaction or Group 2 with impaction. The prevalence of other DAs concurrent with impaction was investigated and compared to Group 1. Results Impaction was the most prevalent DA, followed by microdontia, agenesis, and supernumerary. Class I and Class III groups showed the same order of prevalence, but agenesis was more frequent than microdontia in the Class II group. The prevalence of the four DAs was lowest in the Class III group. Overall, 8.6% of patients were classified into Group 2. The incidence of DAs other than impaction and the prevalence of multiple concurrent DAs were significantly higher in Group 2. Impaction showed a significant relationship with supernumerary tooth, transposition, and fusion. Conclusions The prevalence and pattern of DAs varied depending on the type of malocclusion. As there was a higher risk of other DAs in patients with impacted teeth, early detection of the impacted tooth and a detailed diagnosis of other possible DAs may be essential.","PeriodicalId":49934,"journal":{"name":"Korean Journal of Orthodontics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/d1/ec/kjod-52-5-324.PMC9512625.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40512148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Saliva was collected from a healthy donor, and saliva-derived biofilms were grown on each sample.

Total bacteria demonstrated higher adhesion to HA than to bracket materials, but no significant differences in adhesion were observed among the bracket materials (CR = SS = PL < HA). From days 1 to 4, the adhesion of P. gingivalis decreased, while that of S. mutans and total bacteria increased, regardless of material type.

From the well-established model of evidence-based principles, which replaced the largely anecdotal evidence or simplified research approaches seen in our field in the 1970’s and 1980’s, we have gone into an era where the focus has been switched from evidence to highlighted and constant presence. The objective is now the bombardment of the practicing health care provider with information from many resources to maintain a constant interest: advertisement to lay persons to build a pressure for the use of specific appliances; organization of corporate symposia and pseudoscientific periodicals run by the industry; abundance of cases, materials, demonstration videos and statements on social media; paid speakers in symposia; key opinion specialists; the list in long... Despite its marketing and corporate advantages and profits, this practice may have unfavorable consequences for the outcome of treatment provided to patients, since it is based on the number and frequency of the repetition of a scientific information as opposed to quality reviewing. Unfortunately, democratization of the scientific information dissemination is not always valid and may have unpredictable sequalae. The ancient Greek proverb oὐκ ἐν τῷ πολλῷ τὸ εὖ (the good is not in the quantity) finds a suitable application in cases where everybody uses a therapeutic mode, appliance, device or method just because it has been applied in huge numbers, many people use it, and it seems logical; all these in the absence of evidence or even worse, in the presence of evidence questioning its efficiency. In the era of delirious pace of information generation from various resources and the social media, the clinician should rely on valid, independent and unbiased resource of evidence, which has been reviewed by journals, which adhere to excellent practices in handling scientific information. The Korean Journal of Orthodontics is a world renown periodical, hosting high quality articles adhering to excellence practices in dissemination of scientific information, and has achieved impressive ratings and impact factor already years ago. With an international outreach including the addition of Associate editors from 7 countries on 4 continents, its improved manuscript handling times, new features such as invited narrative reviews from experts, the KJO would pave the way for a stellar transformation of its profile. It is my intention to build on the long tradition and efforts of the previous Editor Prof. Hyoung-Seon Baik and associate editors who have brought a journal from its conception to a leading status in the field.

Fifty patients presented with skeletal open bite (mandibular plane angle [MPA] ≥ 38°), whereas 19 presented with dental open bite. Fifteen cephalometric landmarks were identified before (T1) and after (T2) treatment. The magnitudes of planned and actual movements of the incisors and molars were calculated.
