After mandibular regional superimposition of pre- (T0) and post-treatment (T1) CBCTs, the mandibles were segmented and merged with the corresponding digital casts, generating reoriented, superimposed T0 and T1 digital casts. Changes in individual tooth position, arch dimensions, occlusal plane, and clinical crown height (CCH) were measured.Results: Mandibular teeth exhibited posterior movement ranging from 1.74 to 2.50 mm with significant lateral movement of the premolars and increase of inter-premolar width by 2.15-2.66 mm (P < .05). Extrusive movement of the entire dentition excluding the second molar was noted (P < .05), inducing changes of the occlusal plane. The overall changes in CCH were limited to -0.23 to 0.16 mm. CCH significantly increased in the premolars and decreased in the first molar (P < .05).Conclusions: Based on a stepwise digital superimposition, mandibular total arch distalization induced complex 3D changes in the mandibular arch, including distalization, extrusion, and increase of interpremolar width. Gingival margins generally were maintained, though mild-to-moderate recession was suggested in around 20% of the premolars, which may require attention.","PeriodicalId":94224,"journal":{"name":"The Angle orthodontist","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145182400","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}

Virtual planning of the final IZC screw position on both sides was done using Evalunav software. Maxillary left and right arches for each patient were randomized into experimental and control sides. A 12 × 2 mm dimension IZC screw was positioned with and without use of a dynamic navigation system randomly on either side. A postoperative CBCT was taken immediately to assess the final screw position. Preoperative and postoperative CBCTs were compared for deviation in the entry point, apical point, and angular point for experimental and control sides. Mean value deviations obtained were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS 20.0 to describe the data.Results: Paired t-tests were used to analyze the comparisons. Dynamic navigation showed a statistically significant difference in entry point and angular point compared to the freehand approach during implant placement.Conclusions: IZC screws implanted with the dynamic navigation system offered better control with less deviation and greater accuracy in all three planes of space.

Nonsurgical orthodontic treatment has been a fascinating but challenging alternative, especially when adverse anatomic factors hamper or pose risks for intrusive tooth movement. Despite well-documented efficiency of temporary anchorage device (TAD)-aided nonsurgical treatment for VME, evidence is scarce regarding the treatment efficacy and safety for cases with adverse anatomic traits. In this case report, we present nonsurgical treatment of a patient with severe VME, maxillary protrusion, and retrognathism. Additional challenges included compromised periodontal health, low maxillary sinus floor, short roots with axes deviating from the center of basal bone, and thin labial cortical bone with partial deficiencies. With anchorage from a transpalatal arch (TPA) and TADs and elaborate biomechanical control strategies, significant maxillary full-arch intrusion and anterior retraction with adequate root torque control were achieved, resulting in counterclockwise mandibular rotation and notable profile improvement. One-year follow-up showed stable treatment results. This case provided evidence on how balance may be achieved between treatment efficacy and anatomical limitations using biomechanical control strategies.","PeriodicalId":94224,"journal":{"name":"The Angle orthodontist","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145182483","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}

Cone-beam computed tomography images at pretreatment (T0), posttreatment (T1), and retention (T2) were used to measure posterior space available and lingual bone thickness distal to the mandibular second molar at 0-, 2-, 4-, and 6-mm levels apical to the root furcation.

Pearson's correlation analysis assessed the relationship between lingual bone thickness change and other variables.Results: The mandibular second molar moved distally by 3.0 mm at crown level, and 1.2-1.8 mm at root level, after treatment. Posterior space available decreased significantly with root-cortex contact or radiographic lingual bone dehiscence observed at 6-mm root level. After retention, reduced cortical bone thickness increased significantly; however, T2 lingual bone thickness was less than T0. Although the decrease in lingual bone thickness at 6-mm root level correlated with crown and root distal movement after treatment, the increase in bone thickness during retention was not associated with tooth movement, patient age, or retention duration.Conclusions: Mandibular lingual bone thickness noticeably decreased after molar distalization with microimplants.

In the late group, elastics were inserted once 0.016 × 0.022-inch stainless steel archwires were in place. Lateral cephalograms and standardized smile photographs were taken before treatment and after achieving a Class I buccal segment relationship. Treatment duration, dental, skeletal, and soft tissue measurements were then compared between the two groups.Results: Maxillary central incisors were retroclined relative to the SN plane (95% confidence interval (CI): 3.75°-11.99° and 3.96°-9.18° in the early and late groups, respectively) with clockwise rotation of the occlusal plane (95% CI: 3.75°-11.99° and 3.96°-9.18° in the early and late groups, respectively).
