Adolescents' experiences of using removable functional appliances
ConclusionParticipants developed their own strategies of measurement to see improvement. An active involvement of the adolescents' in the treatment seems to be needed, supported by the dentist at coming appointments, using overjet measurement as a tool for motivation. Furthermore, efforts should be made by clinicians to listen and understand adolescents' needs and requirement before the treatment start. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Effect of orthodontic treatment with preadjusted edgewise appliances on the buccolingual inclination of mandibular canines: a CBCT study
ConclusionOrthodontic treatment with preadjusted edgewise appliances results in more lingually inclined mandibular canines together with an increased intercanine distance, especially in patients whose treatment involves the extraction of mandibular first premolars.

The impact of dental appearance and anxiety on self‐esteem in adult orthodontic patients
ConclusionAnxiety plays a fundamental role in the effect of perceived dental impact on self‐esteem in adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. These results have important practical implications for the design of bio‐psycho‐social intervention programs that contemplate cognitive‐affective variables as an essential part of orthodontic treatment in adults.

Intra‐arch dimensional measurement validity of laser‐scanned digital dental models compared with the original plaster models: a systematic review
Abstract A systematic review was undertaken to evaluate the validity of intra‐arch dimensional measurements made from laser‐scanned digital dental models in comparison with measurements directly obtained from the original plaster casts (gold standard). Finally included articles were only those reporting studies that compared measurements from digital models produced from laser scanning against their plaster models. Measurements from the original plaster models should have been made using a manual or digital caliper (gold standard). Articles that used scans from impressions or digital photographs were discarded.

Effect of low‐level laser therapy on dental root cementum remodeling in rats
ConclusionTwo weeks of daily application of LLLT significantly increased rat's dental root cementum thickness as determined histologically. However, in vivo Micro‐CT imaging failed to accurately reveal this cementum growth as it was not possible to differentiate dentinal changes. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Initial orthodontic tooth movement of a multirooted tooth: a 3D study of a rat molar
ConclusionsLocalized direct contact areas between the tooth roots and the bone at the furcation already form within a few minutes of orthodontic tooth movement. This direct and localized bone involvement guides the movement trajectory and provides a mechanism for the miscorrelation found between force levels and tooth movement during the initial stages of an orthodontic tooth movement.

Shear bond strength of an orthodontic self‐etching adhesive after intracoronary bleaching
ConclusionsThe use of the self‐etching adhesive system, even after intracoronal bleaching, presented satisfactory adhesive strength for the bonding of brackets. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Treating Class II malocclusion in children. Vertical skeletal effects of high‐pull or low‐pull headgear during comprehensive orthodontic treatment and retention
ConclusionWhen treating Class II malocclusion children non‐extraction with high‐ or low‐pull headgear and fixed appliances, changes in vertical skeletal relationships demonstrate wide variation, both during treatment and retention. Dentoalveolar changes brought about by these appliancesmay not be able to make a predictable difference in vertical skeletal patterns of growing patients.

Distraction osteogenesis versus orthognathic surgery for the treatment of maxillary hypoplasia in cleft lip and palate patients: a systematic review
ConclusionsThe low quality of evidence included within the review means there is insufficient evidence to conclude whether there is a difference in effectiveness between maxillary distraction and osteotomy for the treatment of cleft‐related maxillary hypoplasia. There is a need for further high‐quality randomized controlled trials to allow conclusive recommendations to be made. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

The development and validation of a psychological questionnaire for patients undergoing orthognathic treatment
ConclusionsA new condition‐specific orthognathic questionnaire has been developed which has been shown to be reliable, valid and responsive for the well‐being scale. The HADS, as tested by Rasch analysis, was found not to be valid for this orthognathic population. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Alveolar bone preservation subsequent to miniscrew implant placement in a canine model
ConclusionIn this dog model the insertion of a mini‐implant across the healing alveolar process results in increased density not only adjacent to the screws, but also in the region where a potential dental implant would be inserted. In humans, the insertion of transcortical screws may maintain bone when for various reasons insertion of a permanent dental implant has to be postponed.

Size and shape of the sella turcica in subjects with Down syndrome
ConclusionThe sella turcica in DS differs in size and morphology when compared to individuals without the syndrome. The diameter and depth of the sella turcica in DS are larger than controls, with a tendency toward more abnormalities in the shape of sella turcica. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Craniofacial cephalometric morphology in 8‐year‐old children with operated sagittal synostosis
ConclusionThis study suggests that children with operated sagittal synostosis have minor distinctive morphological features in the cranial base and mandible. Orthodontic evaluation of craniofacial growth is recommended. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)
