The effectiveness of pure Stichopus horrens extract toothpaste in reducing plaque-induced gingivitis following orthodontic bonding: A triple-blinded randomized controlled trial
ConclusionThe 9% SHCT is the most effective concentration to reduce both the gingival inflammation (up to day 14) and bleeding on probing (up to day 30). (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Effect of different debonding techniques on shear bond strength and enamel cracks in simulated clinical set-ups
ConclusionDespite the lower cracks length change in Cusp-base method than other groups, there wasn’t significant difference between debonding methods. Also the amount of debonding forces and ARI do not affect the changes of cracks length. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Treatment approaches to syndromes affecting craniofacial and dental structures
ConclusionsEarly detection of syndromes affecting craniofacial and dental structures is vital for early identification of severe or life-threatening complications and patients’ customized, integrated, long-term planning. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

The assessment of rapid palatal expansion using a remote monitoring software
ConclusionIn-person evaluation of maxillary expansion with a Hyrax expander can be replaced with remote monitoring using the DM software, yet challenges associated with digital imaging hinder the use of this remote evaluation for some patients.

Treatment time of Class I malocclusion four-premolar extraction protocol, with and without crowding: A retrospective study
ConclusionTreatment times of Class I malocclusions with mild and severe crowding, treated with four first-premolar extractions are similar. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

“Spontaneous” correction capacity of skeletal Class II malocclusions in growing patients after upper and lower arch coordination using fixed appliances: A prospective controlled clinical study
ConclusionsUpper and lower arch coordination alone does not seem to affect mandibular growth; however, because of a posterior rotation of the mandible, it does affect the direction of mandibular growth in some patients, although not in the desired therapeutic direction. (ClinicalTrials.in.th: TCTR20170706003). (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Interleukin 17 (IL-17) and interleukin 23 (IL-23) levels are modulated by compressive orthodontic forces in humans
ConclusionUpregulation of IL-17 and IL-23 occurred in response to the force application in compression sites. Monitoring the levels of inflammatory mediators might be a clinically useful procedure, as they may help to define optimal forces to produce the most rapid tooth movement.

Evaluation of stress pattern in periodontium and change in inclination during en masse retraction: Finite element analysis
ConclusionIf controlled lingual tipping of anterior teeth is required with minimum torque loss, high OMI with low ARH is recommended, whereas if lingual root movements with retraction is required, high OMI and high ARH is recommended. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

An updated systematic review regarding early Class II malocclusion correction
ConclusionsFrom the short-term perspective, there is a high level of evidence that early treatment reduces overjet and improves the anterior-posterior skeletal relationship. There is insufficient evidence about whether early treatment can reduce the incidence of trauma, is cost-effective, provides improved soft tissue profile, improves oral health–related quality of life, or possesses a risk of developing TMD.

Multilevel biological responses following piezocision to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement: A study in rats
ConclusionsIn these conditions, the efficacy of piezocision-assisted alveolar decortication to accelerate tooth movement was demonstrated, and the underlying biological responses at the tissue, cellular and molecular levels were emphasized. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)
