Data were obtained at the beginning of treatment (T0), at the end (T1), and at least 5 years after T1 (T2). At this point, the individuals were no longer wearing retainers. Anterior tooth alignment was measured using Little's index (LI). Effect on alignment stability was tested with multiple linear regression using LI-T0, LI-T1, intercanine width difference T1-T0, overbite (T1), overjet (T1), age, gender, time without retention, and presence of third molars as predictor variables. Well-aligned (LI < 1.5 mm) and misaligned (LI > 1.5 mm) cases were compared at T2.Results: At T2, the alignment stability in the upper arch was inversely associated with the alignment quality (R2 = 0.378, P < .001) and directly associated with overbite (R2 = 0.113, P = .008) at T1. Posttreatment changes caused cases finished with poor alignment to become similar to those finished with excellent alignment (P = .917). In the mandible, posttreatment changes were directly associated only with overjet (R2 = 0.152, P = .015) and well-finished cases displayed better alignment than poorly finished cases (P = .011). Other variables showed no significant association.Conclusions: In arches without retention, better quality of orthodontic finishing does not guarantee the stability of anterior alignment. In the maxilla, long-term changes were more significant the greater the overbite and the better the quality of alignment at end of treatment. In the mandible, changes were not dependent on the quality of finishing but were associated with greater overbite at T2.","PeriodicalId":50790,"journal":{"name":"Angle Orthodontist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10633801/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9489262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The vertical, transverse, and anteroposterior distances and axial angles of the teeth were measured using cone-beam computed tomography images. The measurements were compared between the deviated and nondeviated sides using a paired t-test and among the three groups using one-way analysis of variance with a Tukey post hoc test.Results: The roll-dominant groups showed the greatest values for the bilateral difference in the vertical position of the maxillary (2.42 ± 1.24 mm) and mandibular molars (2.23 ± 1.28 mm; P < .001). The transverse deviations of the maxillary (2.19 ± 1.51 mm) and mandibular incisors (-2.11 ± 1.39 mm) were greater in the yaw-dominant groups than those of other groups. Regarding tooth axial angle, the yaw-dominant group showed the greatest tipping of the mandibular incisor (-4.13 ± 3.30°; P < .001).Conclusions: Dental compensation differed depending on the type of facial asymmetry. The roll-dominant type showed more vertical compensation of the posterior teeth, whereas the yaw-dominant type exhibited more tipping of the molars and incisors. By precisely assessing dental compensation in each asymmetry type, sufficient dental decompensation could be achieved.","PeriodicalId":50790,"journal":{"name":"Angle Orthodontist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10633797/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9755140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

General dentist and dental specialist assessors (n = 104) were shown intraoral photographs of the patients, including six repeated images, and asked to identify the GP via a questionnaire.Results: An increasing trend in GT values of thin, medium, and thick biotype probe categories was found, though this was not statistically significant (P = .188). Comparison of probing method to determinations of GT made by US yielded slight agreement (κ = 0.12). Using the visual method, assessors' identification of the second GP determination ranged from poor to moderate agreement (κ = 0.29 to κ = 0.53).Conclusions: The probe method is sufficient in differentiating between different categories of GP.

Each draft statement was read to the task force members by a facilitator, followed by voting, accepting, or editing if necessary. The statements were then sent electronically by an independent third party (Magellan Medical Technology Consultants Inc, Minneapolis, Minn) to a previously formed content validation panel consisting of 20 independent private practitioners and clinical academicians for validation.Results: Twenty-one statements were developed and sent for content validation. While 19 statements achieved a content validation index (CVI) of 0.78, two items did not. These items were edited by the task force members based on qualitative feedback from content validation participants. Each of these revised statements did achieve a CVI of 0.78 on second evaluation from the content validation panelists and therefore were included in this document.Conclusion: To reduce the risk of WSLs, it is essential to implement individualized caries management measures based on a comprehensive assessment of the patient's oral and systemic health. Effective at-home and professional mechanical and chemical plaque control should be implemented for high-risk orthodontic patients. Fluoride to support prevention and materials such as orthodontic sealants should also be used to provide a physical barrier around the brackets in high-risk patients. By following these guidelines, orthodontic professionals can help promote oral health and minimize the need for restorative treatment.","PeriodicalId":50790,"journal":{"name":"Angle Orthodontist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10633804/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10000634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cone-beam computed tomography showed that these teeth were close together, with the lateral incisor in a lower position, followed by the central incisor, and the canine in a more apical position. Treatment included applying traction to these teeth. A transpalatal arch was used as an anchorage device, and surgical exposure of the lateral incisor was performed for traction with an elastic chain toward the hook welded to the 0.017 × 0.025-inch steel segmented arch. Subsequently, the central incisor was surgically exposed, elastic chains were used, along with a 0.016-inch steel arch with a box loop for correcting the tooth position. The canine spontaneously began to erupt, and a 0.017 × 0.025-inch TMA segmented arch with boot loop was used to control rotation and torque of the canine during its distalization. Once these three teeth were in the arch, treatment was finished in the usual manner. For esthetic improvement, gingivoplasty was performed in the maxillary arch. Eighteen-month follow-up showed that orthodontic treatment allowed preservation of the natural teeth, the contour of gingival support, and avoidance of prosthetic rehabilitation, reestablishing the patient's esthetics and function, with satisfactory stability.","PeriodicalId":50790,"journal":{"name":"Angle Orthodontist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10575641/pdf/i1945-7103-93-5-603.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10206591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
