Systematic review and meta-analysis: Mandibular plane change after orthognathic surgery and distraction osteogenesis in cleft lip and palate patients
Conclusions SN-MP showed tendency to rotate clockwise in all three groups after surgery. At 1 year follow-up, the mandibular plane rotated counter-clockwise in all groups. The amount of relapse rate was largest in IDO group. SN-MP at 1 year follow-up in CO was greater than IDO. (Source: Orthodontic Waves)

Simultaneous mandibular movement and EMG analysis during habitual masticatory movement in patients with mandibular protrusion and deviation
Conclusion The DG exhibited more unstable incisal paths than the NDG, and the early onset of masseter and temporal muscle activity observed in the DG patients during mouth closing might have been an attempt to compensate for their unstable incisal paths. This strategy might have been initiated based on information regarding the instability of the terminal position of the closing horizontal incisal path provided by periodontal sensory receptors.

The simplified bite jumping appliance: An improved functional appliance
Publication date: Available online 12 February 2015 Source:Orthodontic Waves Author(s): Ken Miyazawa , Naoko Sakai , Takeo Tsutsui , Masako Tabuchi , Shigemi Goto Among the many kinds of removable functional appliances now in use, a bite-jumping-appliance (BJA) is a special functional appliance which affects the upper and lower jaws as well as the teeth. Because the laboratory work and chairside adjustment involved in using a BJA can be quite complicated, we have devised a simpler BJA which uses a thermoplastic transparent resin. We have found this appliance to be very useful, simple to apply, and easy to handle a...
