Their management is debatable considering the limited availability of definitive scientific evidence. The purpose of the present study was to poll specialists' views on the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of an exceptionally large jaw cyst associated with a deeply impacted tooth in a young patient. A large international contingent of approximately 1000 specialist orthodontists and oral surgeons was invited to complete a specially designed online questionnaire, anonymously and voluntarily. The pretreatment panoramic radiograph of the affected patient was emailed to each specialist, with a concise patient description and the 16-item questionnaire. In total, 123 specialists, 54 (43.9%) oral surgeons, and 69 (56.1%) orthodontists practicing in 17 different countries, participated in the study. The responses of the participants differed regarding the prognosis of the cystic lesion (<em>P</em> = 0.036), posttreatment vitality of the impacted tooth (<em>P</em> = 0.041), surgical procedure (<em>P</em> = 0.032), choice of site for drainage of the lesion (<em>P</em> &lt;0.001), and likelihood of posttreatment anatomic anomalies in the further development of the impacted tooth’s root (<em>P</em> = 0.038). Consensus between orthodontists and oral surgeons was found in several aspects of diagnosis, treatment, and outcome. These findings, demonstrating perceptions stemming from the combined experience of both specialties, may be useful for improving outcomes and simplifying the treatment of similar future patients.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72140,"journal":{"name":"AJO-DO clinical companion","volume":"6 1","pages":"Pages 24-31"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146102945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

If the patient’s incisor inclination is within normal limits, special considerations are necessary to minimize inclination reduction during retraction. A 13-year-old boy visited my office complaining of maxillary incisor protrusion. He exhibited severe protrusion of the upper lip and maxilla, accompanied by crowding. To address this condition, a large amount of maxillary incisor retraction was required after premolar extraction. Because the maxillary incisors’ inclination was normal, maintaining incisor inclination during retraction was crucial. To apply retraction force close to the center of resistance, a lingual retraction arch was attached to the lingual surface of the anterior teeth, and retraction was performed from the palatal side. The treatment results demonstrated successful bodily retraction and significant profile improvement. The lingual retraction arch proved to be an effective appliance for protrusion patients with normal incisor inclination.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72140,"journal":{"name":"AJO-DO clinical companion","volume":"5 6","pages":"Pages 497-506"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145754090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This case report describes a simple and effective clinical technique for the orthodontic extrusion of intruded maxillary central incisors using a modified fixed palatal anchorage appliance in a 10-year-old boy. The appliance was bonded to the maxillary first permanent molars and included a contoured wire loop positioned anteriorly, serving as a stable anchorage point for extrusive force delivery. Intentional subluxation of the intruded teeth was performed before traction to disrupt potential ankylosis. Orthodontic buttons were bonded to the labial surfaces, and elastic modules were used for immediate force application. The design enabled absolute anchorage without stressing adjacent teeth or requiring patient compliance. After the initial extrusion, brackets and nickel-titanium wires were employed to refine alignment. The technique allowed controlled extrusion in an immature root without inducing complications. This appliance-based method proved advantageous because of its stability, hygiene, accessibility, and adaptability in the mixed dentition phase.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":72140,"journal":{"name":"AJO-DO clinical companion","volume":"5 6","pages":"Pages 489-496"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145754083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
