In vivo evaluation of the force degradation characteristics of four contemporarily used elastomeric chains over a period of 6 weeks
ConclusionsThree of four elastomeric chains sustained an amount of force that can be considered adequate for canine retraction. Only one elastomeric chain suffered a major loss of force in such a way making it difficult to continue the retraction of canine after 6 weeks.

Anteroposterior relationship of maxillary central incisor to forehead: A photographic study
ConclusionsTreatment goals for adult women should include the maxillary central incisor position to be somewhere at or between the FFA point and glabella and correlated with forehead inclination. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Biphasic theory: breakthrough understanding of tooth movement
ConclusionsThe Biphasic Theory of Tooth Movement successfully addresses shortfalls in the Compression-Tension Theory of Tooth Movement, provides clinicians with a better understanding of how orthodontic forces move teeth, and offers new targets for therapies aimed at accelerating tooth movement.

Use of miniscrew implant to control lower incisor proclination during Herbst therapy: A case report
ConclusionThe association of MSIs with mandibular protractor device allowed minimization of side effects as well as enhancement of skeletal and dental effects with excellent predictability and minimal patient collaboration. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Chewing gum for pain control following orthodontic separator placement
ConclusionChewing gum can be recommended for orthodontic pain control associated with elastic separator placement and is found to be as effective as using ibuprofen. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Three-dimensional stress analysis with two molar protraction techniques using Finite Element Modeling
ConclusionMolar protraction with mini-screw anchorage produces higher stresses at head of mini-screw that may affect its stability and can even lead to its fracture. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Vibratory stimulus and accelerated tooth movement: A critical appraisal
Conclusion and relevanceMechanical vibration may accelerate tooth movement by enhancing alveolar bone resorption at the compression side during orthodontic tooth movement via a mechanism related to induction of inflammatory mediators. However, the optimal vibration protocols and cellular mechanisms of action of mechanical vibration need to be well-defined before clinical application. Moreover, patient compliance and cost-effectiveness need to be considered. (Source: Journal of the World Federation of Orthodontists)

Recent Advances in Orthodontic Retention Methods: A Review article
Conclusion and RelevanceAmong 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 experime...
