Correlation between tooth size-arch length discrepancy and interradicular distances measured on CBCT and panoramic radiograph: an evaluation for miniscrew insertion
Conclusions: Calibration of panoramic radiographs is of utmost importance. Generally, panoramic radiographs underestimate the available space. Preliminary assessment of miniscrew insertion feasibility and the related selection of required radiographs can be facilitated using the new “ safe zone ” maps presented in this article.Resumo Introdu ção: a seleção de locais apropriados para a inserção de mini-implantes é crítica para o sucesso clínico. Objetivo: os objetivos do presente estudo foram avaliar as medições de espaços inter-radiculares feitas em radiografias panorâmicas e compará-las com as mediç...

Mini-implant selection protocol applied to MARPE
Abstract Introduction: Rapid maxillary expansion (RME) is the therapy of choice to correct skeletal transverse dimension in children and adolescents, associating orthopedic and dental effects. In an attempt to prevent the undesirable dentoalveolar effects and optimize the potential of skeletal expansion in individuals in advanced stages of skeletal maturation, the miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expander (MARPE) was proposed by Lee et al. in 2010. Objective: This paper presents a systematized protocol for selection of miniscrews indicated for MARPE, by the evaluation of cone-beam computed tomographies (CBCT). Variables ...

Do premolar extractions necessarily result in a flat face? No, when properly indicated
Abstract The esthetic benefits are among the main goals of orthodontic treatment; therefore, tooth extractions have been avoided as a protocol for orthodontic treatment because they may impair the facial profile. The present article discusses aspects as the magnitude and response of soft tissue profile due to changes in incisor positioning, and the effect of different sequences of premolar extraction. One case report illustrates the subject, with favorable and stable esthetic and occlusal outcomes five years after orthodontic treatment with extraction of second premolars.Resumo Os benef ícios estéticos estão entre os pr...

Diagnostic validity of different cephalometric analyses for assessment of the sagittal skeletal pattern
Conclusion: The ANB angle was found to be the most valid and reliable indicator in all sagittal groups. Downs angle of convexity, Wits appraisal and Beta angle may be used as valid indicators to assess the Class III sagittal pattern.Resumo Introdu ção: numerosas análises cefalométricas foram propostas para diagnosticar a discrepância sagital das estruturas craniofaciais. Objetivo: este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a confiabilidade e validade de diferentes análises esqueléticas para a identificação do padrão esquelético sagit al. Métodos: foram incluídos 146 indivíduos (homens = 77; mulheres = 69; id...

Perception of attractiveness of missing maxillary lateral incisors replaced by canines
Conclusion: The methods of treatment most accepted among the dentists and students were those that involved changes in the gingival contour, whereas among lay persons, they were those that involved only reshaping.RESUMO Objetivo: o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o grau de percep ção da atratividade do sorriso por dentistas, estudantes de Odontologia e leigos, em casos de agenesia dos incisivos laterais superiores substituídos por caninos, para fechamento do espaço. Métodos: uma fotografia extrabucal frontal do sorriso de uma mulher com 20 anos de idade foi alterada si mulando agenesia e seu tratamento por...

Effect of mangosteen peel extract as an antioxidant agent on the shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets bonded to bleached teeth
Conclusion: The application of MP extract as an antioxidant after bleaching was effective in reversing the reduced shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets after bleaching.Resumo Introdu ção: o número de pacientes que procuram o tratamento ortodôntico e têm histórico de clareamento dentário tem aumentado. O clareamento pode levar à diminuição da resistência adesiva dos braquetes ortodônticos. Objetivos: comprovar a efetividade do extrato de casca de mangostão (CM) em reverter a diminuição da resistência ao cisalhamento de braquetes ortodônticos colados após o clareamento. Métodos: 150 primeiros pr...

Evaluation of the attractiveness of different gingival zeniths in smile esthetics
Conclusions: Asymmetric gingival zeniths are less attractive than symmetrical ones. Gingival zenith differences greater than 1mm are perceptible in the smile attractiveness. Orthodontists and general dentists are more critical in evaluating smile esthetics.RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar a atratividade e a percep ção estética do sorriso com alterações simétricas e assimétricas dos zênites gengivais, por leigos, dentistas e ortodontistas. Métodos: foram tiradas fotografias posadas de cinco pacientes, de forma padronizada. Cada fotografia foi digitalmente manipulada no software Keynote, na região do zênite gengival, ...

Expression of cytokines in gingival crevicular fluid associated with tooth movement induced by aligners: a pilot study
Conclusions: The different behavior in the levels of the investigated cytokines indicates a role of these biomarkers in the tissue remodeling induced by Invisalign.RESUMO Introdu ção: a busca por dispositivos ortodônticos mais estéticos e confortáveis gerou um aumento no uso de alinhadores transparentes. Objetivo: ampliar o conhecimento sobre os mecanismos biológicos associados ao movimento dentário ortodôntico promovido por alinhadores Invisalign®. Métodos: a a mostra foi constituída por 11 pacientes, com idade média de 23,6 ± 4,8 anos. O planejamento dos casos incluiu alinhamento e nivelamento de incisiv...

An interview with Giorgio Fiorelli
ABSTRACT In order to lead to insights and discussion on proper use of Orthodontics and Pathology-related terminology, particularly in cases of smaller-than-usual maxilla and mandible - that is, anomalous ones -, this study compared the conceptual meaning of the term “ atresia. ” It is considered improper when referring to maxilla and mandible with deficient growth compared to development that is satisfactory enough to reach normal size. To identify smaller maxilla and mandible, the most proper and accurate term is hypoplastic maxilla or mandible. This is because “ atresia ” stands for an anomaly related to lumen ...

Jaws can be referred to as narrow or hypoplastic, but the term “atresia” is inaccurate!

Shear bond strength and adhesive remnant index of orthodontic brackets bonded to enamel using adhesive systems mixed with TiO2 nanoparticles
Conclusions: Addition of TiO2 nanoparticles to Transbond XT decreased its SBS to the level of SBS of Resilience without TiO2; thus, TiO2 nanoparticles may be added to Transbond XT composite for use in the clinical setting.RESUMO Introdu ção: recentemente, sugeriu-se que nanopartículas de dióxido de titânio (TiO2) poderiam ser adicionadas ao cimento adesivo para reduzir a atividade bacteriana e proteger o esmalte. Entretanto, não se sabe se esse acréscimo pode reduzir a resistência adesiva ao cisalhamento (RAC) a níveis in feriores aos clinicamente aceitáveis. Assim, o presente estudo examinou essa questão den...

Plain access to justice and the orthodontist’s activity in Brazil: vulnerability in the professional practice in the face of risks of malpractice lawsuits
Conclusion: It was verified that Brazilian orthodontists do not have adequate formation concerning the legal consequences of the exercise of their professional activity. Orthodontists also failed to establish proper contractual relationship, organize orthodontic records, and, most importantly, failed in communicating the risks and the therapeutic processes to patients during all phases of treatment.RESUMO Objetivo: o presente trabalho teve como objetivo apurar os riscos e a vulnerabilidade dos profissionais ortodontistas serem envolvidos em lides judiciais com finalidade indenizat ória, além de verificar a hipótese de ...
