Gene/environment interactions in craniosynostosis: A brief review
Abstract It is suggested that craniosynostosis is caused by a heterogeneous set of effects including gene mutations, teratogenic exposure during critical periods of development and gene/environment interactions. Distinguishing between sufficient, additive and interactive effects is important to the study of gene/environment interactions and allows for segregation of environmental exposures effecting susceptible populations. Through the identification of sufficient and interactive effects, efforts in prevention of craniosynostosis may be successful. Here, we provide a brief review focusing on defining these categorized expo...

Validity of the American Board of Orthodontics Discrepancy Index and the Peer Assessment Rating Index for comprehensive evaluation of malocclusion severity
ConclusionWith strong interexaminer agreement, the panel consensus was used for validating the ABO‐DI and US‐PAR index for malocclusion severity. Overall, the ABO‐DI and US‐PAR index were reliable for measuring malocclusion severity with significantly variable weightings for different Angle classifications. Further modification of the indices for different Angle classification may be indicated. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Zoledronic acid and alendronate sodium and the implications in orthodontic movement
ConclusionAlendronate sodium and zoledronic acid have similar effects on the periodontal tissue during orthodontic treatment in rats. Especially, zoledronic acid can affect orthodontic tooth movement. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Efficiency, effectiveness and treatment stability of clear aligners: A systematic review and meta ‐analysis
ConclusionsDespite claims about the effectiveness of clear aligners, evidence is generally lacking. Shortened treatment duration and chair time in mild‐to‐moderate cases appear to be the only significant effectiveness of clear aligners over conventional systems that are supported by the current evidence.

Alterations in mandibular morphology associated with glypican 1 and glypican 3 gene mutations
ConclusionsAlterations in GPC3 expression are likely to mediate changes to mandibular size in craniosynostosis. These findings have potential future applications in the prevention and treatment of craniosynostosis and associated craniofacial dysmorphology. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

A scoping review of outcomes related to orthodontic treatment measured in cleft lip and palate
The objectives were to categorize the outcomes into pre‐determined domains and to explore whether any domains were under‐represented. Electronic databases and grey literature were searched until December 2016 to identify all studies of orthodontic treatment interventions in children and adolescents with cleft lip and palate. Abstracts and subsequently eligible full‐text articles were screened independently and in duplicate by two reviewers. All reported outcome measures were identified and categorized into six predetermined outcome domains. The search identified 833 abstracts. The majority of studies did not assess o...

In vitro evaluation of the influence of velocity on sliding resistance of stainless steel arch wires in a self ‐ligating orthodontic bracket
ConclusionsAt very low SV and low normal forces, SV influences the RS of SS archwires in orthodontic brackets, and the proportionality is logarithmic. Although respecting these parameters in vitro is challenging, quantitative evaluations of RS should be carried out at clinically relevant velocities if aiming at translational application in the clinical scenario.

Three ‐dimensional skeletal mandibular changes associated with Herbst appliance treatment
ConclusionsImmediately after Herbst therapy, a significant mandibular forward displacement was achieved, due to increased bone remodelling of the condyles and rami compared to a comparison group. Three‐dimensional changes in the direction and magnitude of condylar growth were observed in Herbst patients. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)
