Mandibular symphyseal distraction followed by Class III surgical orthodontic treatment: A case report
Conclusion Our case report suggests that use of MSDO expands the possibility of the presurgical orthodontic treatment with nonextraction for skeletal Class III orthognathic surgery case with crowding in mandibular dentition. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

In  vitro assessment of color changes of clear orthodontic elastomeric module materials after exposure to high-pigment beverages
Conclusion(s) The intake of foods and beverages with a high pigment content can cause discoloration of clear orthodontic elastomeric modules and thus lead to aesthetic complaints. Our findings can help practitioners select the most appropriate brand of elastomeric modules according to the dietary habits of each patient.

Temporomandibular joint measurements in normal occlusion: A  three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography analysis
Conclusions Every component in the TMJ was analyzed. The values provided could be used as reference norms for the osseous parameters of the TMJ in individuals with normal Class I skeletal and dental features in future research. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Assessment of apical root resorptions during orthodontic treatment with digital subtraction and geometric reconstruction
Conclusions The EARR was greater during the first 6–7 months of orthodontic treatment. Extraction of premolars, use of intermaxillary rubber bands, and type of malocclusion did not pose a significant influence to the EARR. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Root repair and regeneration after miniscrew root damage
Conclusion Despite root perforation extending into the pulp and causing root fracture, after immediate removal of the miniscrew, the damaged root repaired itself and regenerated without invasive treatment. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

The skeletal and dental effects of two kinds of Herbst appliances
Conclusion Treatment with two types of Herbst appliance resulted in changes that improved sagittal skeletal and dental relations, regardless of growth. The control of vertical growth pattern did not depend on the type of the Herbst appliance is used; however, in cases of lack of space in the maxillary arch, the Herbst appliance with steel crowns was more efficient.

Comprehensive three-dimensional cone beam computed tomography analysis of the temporomandibular joint in different vertical skeletal facial patterns
Conclusion The TMJ parameters differ between different vertical facial patterns that should be considered when planning an orthodontic case. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Cephalometric evaluation of posteroanterior projection of reconstructed three-dimensional Cone beam computed tomography, two-dimensional conventional radiography, and direct measurements
Conclusion The study found linear postero-anterior cephalometric measurements of 2D conventional cephalometric radiographs (2D) to be reliable when compared to CBCT derived images (3D) and direct measurements. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Computational airflow analysis before and after maxillomandibular advancement surgery
Conclusions A decrease in relative pressure implies less effort required for maintaining constant pharyngeal airflow according to CFD analyses on airways of OSA patients after MMA surgery. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Invisible treatment of a severe Class I crowding with multilingual bracket system using new double mushroom archwire technique
Publication date: Available online 14 November 2015 Source:Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists Author(s): Tadayoshi Fukui, Kurando Suga, Kazumi Fukui, Masahiko Tsuruta, Maria Therese S. Galang-Boquiren This case report presents an invisible lingual bracket orthodontic treatment of a 26.5-year-old adult female patient with Class I severe crowding. The patient did not wish to wear any visible appliances, so she was treated with lingual brackets with four second premolar extraction. The lingual brackets and wires used in this case illustrate atypical biomechanics of tooth movement. The Fujita lingua...
