The effect of light curing and self-etching primer after saliva contamination on shear bond strength of orthodontic brackets: An in vitro experimental study
Conclusions Saliva contamination has no significant effect on the shear bond strength of SEP. Light curing of SEP increased the bond strength. SEP has more value than the conventional primer in reaching to good bond strength results so that it may diminish the bad effect of saliva contamination on shear bond strength.

Three-dimensional evaluation of bone void induced in the cortical bone upon insertion of an orthodontic anchor screw
Conclusion These results suggest that to reduce the bone void to the cortical bone surrounding the screw, it is important to use appropriate insertion torque in accordance with cortical bone thickness. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)

Clinicostatistical analysis of congenitally missing permanent teeth in Japanese patients with cleft lip and/or palate
Conclusion Individual local factors such as the presence or absence of the alveolar cleft and surgical treatment may contribute to the difference in the number of missing teeth and distribution between cleft types. On the other hand, the finding that the locations of missing teeth were not necessarily coincident with such local factors suggests the involvement of genetic factors. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)

Skeletal open bite corrective treatment using temporary skeletal anchorage devices of miniplates and miniscrews
Publication date: September 2016 Source:Orthodontic Waves, Volume 75, Issue 3 Author(s): Tamami Shino, Kenichi Yatabe, Yoko Yokoyama Skeletal open-bite cases are considered difficult to treat. Since open bite generally occurs with vertical overgrowth of the maxilla or mandible, temporary skeletal anchorage devices has been used for intrusion of the molar region recently. Also distalization of all molars has become possible. En-masse molar distalization (EMD) is effective for open bite as extrusion can be avoided. The use of temporary skeletal anchorage in extraction cases, or distal movement of one side of the jaw has...

Study of training for improving lip incompetence
Conclusions Hypoxic lip training increases the sealed lip ratio and is thus effective for improving lip incompetence. Sealed lip ratios were maintained after 8weeks of training. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)

Evaluation of long-term orthodontic tooth movement considering bone remodeling process and in the presence of alveolar bone loss using finite element method
Conclusion Though the amount of tooth movement increased by increasing the force magnitude in all models with different bone heights, this increase was only pronounced in milder degrees of bone loss. This study suggests that applied force magnitude can be remarkably reduced in the patients with reduced bone height, particularly in the cases with extreme bone loss. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)

Characteristics of maxillofacial morphology of Angle Class II patients with temporomandibular disorders involving crepitus
Conclusion Significant smaller condylar ratio of Class II patients with crepitus suggested osseous changes in the condyle. Significant differences existed between morphological maxillofacial characteristics of Class II patients with and without crepitus. Overjet in Class II patients with crepitus correlated significantly with ramus height, attributed to resorbed deterioration and dysfunctional remodeling of the condyle. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)
