Caries preventive measures in orthodontic practice: the development of a clinical practice guideline
ConclusionsStatements on the management of WSLs derived from a systematic literature review combined with expert opinion were formally integrated toward consensus through a nominal group technique. These statements formed the basis for developing a CPG on the management of WSLs before and during orthodontic treatment. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Three‐dimensional analysis of palatal shape in patients treated with SARME using traditional and geometric morphometrics
ConclusionsDense surface model provided descriptive visualization of the treatment effect and was helpful in the evaluation of palatal shape variability including detection of the most difficult patients. Correction of the dental arch width discrepancy by SARME was successfully achieved. After therapy, palatal shape variability of most of the patients was comparable to the variability of the control group. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Changes in temporomandibular joint morphology in class II patients treated with fixed mandibular repositioning and evaluated through 3D imaging: a systematic review
Abstract To estimate the effects of skeletal class II malocclusion treatment using fixed mandibular repositioning appliances on the position and morphology of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Two independent reviewers performed comprehensive electronic searches of MEDLINE, EMBASE, EBM reviews and Scopus (until May 5, 2015). The references of the identified articles were also manually searched. All studies investigating morphological changes of the TMJ articular disc, condyle and glenoid fossa with 3D imaging following non‐surgical fixed mandibular repositioning appliances in growing individuals with class II malocclusi...

The effect of antimicrobial agents on bond strength of orthodontic adhesives: a meta‐analysis of in vitro studies
Abstract Antimicrobial orthodontic adhesives aim to reduce white spot lesions' incidence in orthodontic patients, but they should not jeopardizing its properties. Systematic review and meta‐analysis were performed to answer the question whether the association of antimicrobial agents with orthodontic adhesives compromises its mechanical properties and whether there is a superior antimicrobial agent. PubMed and Scopus databases. In vitro studies comparing shear bond strength of conventional photo‐activated orthodontic adhesives to antimicrobial photo‐activated orthodontic adhesives were considered eligible. Search ter...
