ConclusionsThe pterygopalatine and zygomaticomaxillary sutures are more active among the craniofacial sutures in the craniofacial complex remodeling during Class III treatment. The magnetic twin‐block appliance effectively promoted suture remodeling by enhancing the activity and proliferation of osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and fibroblasts, especially in the early phase.

Facial biometry of Amazon indigenous people of the Xingu River – Perspectives on genetic and environmental contributions to variation in human facial morphology
ConclusionsFacial morphological characteristics were strongly different among groups, even comparing villages from the same ethnicity. Furthermore, a low diversity within groups was observed. Our findings, supported by previous reports on genetics and eating habits in these populations, reinforce the role of the genetic determination on craniofacial morphology.

Effect of hyaluronic acid on bone formation in the expanded interpremaxillary suture in rats
ConclusionsLocal injection of HMWHA in the interpremaxillary suture after rapid maxillary expansion stimulated new bone formation, which may shorten the retention period and may reduce the risk of relapse. LMWHA has no effect on bone formation in interpremaxillary suture. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Primary tooth size asymmetry in twins and singletons
ConclusionsTransmembrane hormonal influence between opposite‐sex twins, and late gestational stress factors, caused by placental malfunction and/or monochorionicity, may be involved in asymmetric growth of antimers, during critical periods of crown size gain.

Effect of organic solvents and ultrasound on the removal of orthodontic brackets
ConclusionThe organic solvents were not effective in reducing shear bond strength. The etch‐and‐rinse adhesive system showed a higher and more favorable ARI score than the self‐etching primer. The behavior of the organic solvents on ARI showed to be better when associated with the self‐etching primer. The ultrasound was effective in reducing the shear bond strength of the self‐etching adhesive system but not in affecting the ARI of the adhesive systems.

A radiological study on intra‐ and extra‐cranial calcifications in adults with X‐linked hypophosphatemia and associations with other mineralizing enthesopathies and childhood medical treatment
ConclusionMore XLH patients than controls showed nuchal ligament calcifications, and some XLH patients showed intracranial calcifications. Severely affected XLH patients often had nuchal ligament calcifications. Medically treated XLH patients had few vertebral enthesopathies. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Biomechanical characteristics of self‐ligating brackets in a vertically displaced canine model: a finite element analysis
ConclusionsSelf‐ligating brackets were not superior to conventional brackets in leveling a vertically displaced canine. A continuous arch wire may not be recommended for leveling of severely displaced canines whether using self‐ligating or conventional brackets. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

The impact of occlusal plane cant along with gingival display on smile attractiveness
ConclusionIncrease in both occlusal plane cant and gingival display negatively influences smile attractiveness. The influence of occlusal plane cant becomes less when gingival display increases, whereas the influence of gingival display decreases when occlusal cant increases. Dentists are more generous than orthodontists, while laypersons are the most generous regarding smile attractiveness scores. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Biomechanical potential of the temporal muscle in brachyfacial and dolichofacial subjects: a study on dry mandibles
ConclusionThe mechanical advantage of the TM in BR subjects is significantly greater than in DO subjects. Moreover, this greater mechanical advantage may explain, at least in part, the higher incidence of temporomandibular dysfunctions in BR subjects. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Effects of diabetes on tooth movement and root resorption after orthodontic force application in rats
ConclusionsDiabetes significantly reduced orthodontic tooth movement and orthodontically induced root resorption in rats. The regulation of blood glucose level through insulin administration largely reduced these abnormal responses to orthodontic force application. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Three‐dimensional regional displacement after surgical–orthodontic correction of Class III malocclusion
ConclusionOur results indicate that surgical displacements and post‐surgical adaptations are often correlated in one‐jaw surgery and are, in general, independent in two‐jaw surgery. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Osteoprotegerin and zoledronate bone effects during orthodontic tooth movement
ConclusionLocal delivery of OPG‐Fc or zoledronate inhibits bone resorption and therefore tooth movement. OPG‐Fc was more effective than zoledronate in blocking the action of osteoclasts. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)
