Effect of bisphosphonates on orthodontic tooth movement in osteoporotic patients: A review
Conclusions The interactions of BPs and oral/maxillofacial tissues with a high bone turnover rate such as maxilla or jaws can influence the success rate of dental procedures that involve bones around the teeth, such as extractions, periodontal surgery, and OTM.

Comparison of anterior crowding relapse tendency in patients treated with incisor extraction, premolar extraction, and nonextraction treatment
Conclusions Given the results of this study, it appears that treatment modality in terms of extraction or nonextraction is not a major determinant in posttreatment relapse. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Pure skeletal maxillary protraction with skeletal anchorage in high-angle Class III patients: A case series
Conclusion This method used in treating patients portrayed in this case series has been successful in creating good results and can be used for treating patients especially with a vertical growth pattern. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Adult gummy smile correction with temporary skeletal anchorage devices
Publication date: March 2018 Source:Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists, Volume 7, Issue 1 Author(s): Satoshi Uzuka, Jong-Moon Chae, Kiyoshi Tai, Takashi Tsuchimochi, Jae Hyun Park Temporary skeletal anchorage devices were used to correct the gummy smile of a 27-year-old woman. She was also missing her maxillary left second molar and mandibular right central incisor. Her mandibular anterior missing space was closed with orthodontic treatment. Her occlusion, smile esthetics, dental midline, and soft tissue profile were significantly improved after her orthodontic treatment. A 2-year follow-up showed tha...

Age and aesthetics perception related to different types of orthodontic devices. Is there a relationship?
Conclusion Our data suggest that the use of the blue device increases the attractiveness of the smile in young male patients and that the gray device makes the elderly male patient look younger. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Comparison of arch width and depth changes and pain/discomfort with conventional and copper Ni-Ti archwires for mandibular arch alignment
Conclusions Copper Ni-Ti archwires were no more efficient than Ni-Ti archwires in leveling of the mandibular anterior teeth changes in arch dimensions in patients with moderate dental irregularity. Changes in mandibular arch dimensions were similar in the copper Ni-Ti and Ni-Ti groups. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

A cephalometric comparison of treatment effects and predictors of chin prominence in Class II Division 1 and 2 malocclusions with Forsus fatigue-resistant fixed functional appliance
Conclusions Treatment with the Forsus in combination with preadjusted fixed appliances leads to a favorable treatment outcome and produces similar treatment changes in both Class II Divisions. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Compliance with retainer wear in the first year: An analysis of 320 cases
Conclusions Compliance with retainer wear declines substantially from the initial visit to the final visit. The most compliant patients over this time period wore the Hawley retainer. Patients with state insurance are the least compliant at both time points. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Recent Advances in Orthodontic Retention Methods: A Review article
Conclusion and Relevance Among biomedical agents evaluated in this review, RANKL inhibitor agents, particularly denosumab, hold the greatest potential for future applications in orthodontic retention. In addition, LLLT has been associated with faster periodontal ligament maturation, especially if it is used with conventional retention methods, which might shorten the time required for retention after orthodontic treatment. Mechanical vibration has shown osteogenic effect on bone, even though it failed experimentally to inhibit relapse. Importantly, these new biomedical agents and techniques were mainly investigated experim...

Topographical and elemental changes of retrieved stainless steel and titanium mini-implants after orthodontic treatment
Conclusions Blunting (of the tips and threads) of all retrieved mini-implants were evident on SEM images and craters were observed in body region of retrieved stainless steel mini-implant. The retrieved titanium implants showed oxygen, carbon, calcium, and nitrogen on the surface, whereas only carbon and oxygen elements were found on retrieved stainless steel implants. The elemental oxygen (22.67%) was higher in the titanium group and a higher carbon (7.43%) in the stainless steel group. Numerous lacunae, resting lines, and osteocytes were found in bone tissue from mini-implant surface. (Source: Journal of the World Federa...

The effect of food simulating liquids on the static frictional forces and corrosion activity of different types of orthodontic wires
Conclusions Four-week storage in citric acid had the highest deleterious effect, as it significantly increased the static frictional force values of SS, TMA, and NiTi archwires. SS has the highest corrosion activity and thus its frictional force values are affected by 4-week storage in both citric acid and ethanol. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Comparison of efficacy of anesthetics for removal of palatal and buccal miniscrews
Conclusion Topical anesthesia cannot be considered an adequate and comfortable alternative to the injection of local anesthesia for pain control while palatal miniscrew removal is performed; however, using a topical benzocaine gel, when removing buccal interradicular mini-implants, is effective in controlling patient discomfort.
