Shear bond strength of orthodontic attachments bonded to impacted teeth under in vivo and in vitro conditions
ConclusionsAlthough the in vitro‐bonded groups showed higher SBS values, adequate bond strength is possible with stainless steel buttons bonded in vivo. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

The effect of IL‐17 on the production of proinflammatory cytokines and matrix metalloproteinase‐1 by human periodontal ligament fibroblasts
ConclusionsIL‐17 upregulated the production of IL‐6 and MMP‐1 sequentially in HPDLF. IL‐6/sIL‐6R may enhance the effects of IL‐1β on MMP‐1 production. The present results suggest that IL‐17 induces MMP‐1 production not only directly, but also indirectly by promoting IL‐6 production, thus resulting in the degradation of collagens in the PDL.

Cephalometric assessment of craniofacial dysmorphologies in relation with Msx2 mutations in mouse
ConclusionMsx2 plays an important role in craniofacial morphogenesis and growth because almost all craniofacial structures were affected in the Msx2−/− mice including both intramembranous and endochondral bones, the cochlear apparatus, and the teeth. In addition, Msx2 haploinsufficiency involves a specific phenotype with subtle craniofacial structures modifications compared with human mutations. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Analysis of the association of COL2A1 and IGF‐1 with mandibular prognathism in a Chinese population
ConclusionAn association between polymorphism in the COL2A1 gene and MP was observed. The results suggested that the COL2A1 gene could be a new susceptibility gene for use in the study of genetic risk factors for MP. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Nasolabial appearance after two palatoplasty types in cleft lip and palate
ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that the use of vomerplasty instead of the Langenbeck technique is weakly associated with the nasolabial appearance among pre‐adolescent patients with UCLP. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Short mandible – a possible risk factor for cleft palate with/without a cleft lip
ConclusionsA special facial type including a short mandible is a possible risk factor for cleft palate, and it was found that the risk of cleft palate increases 58% per mm decreases in mandibular length. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Three‐dimensional cephalometric analysis in orthodontics: a systematic review
ConclusionsLimited evidence for the diagnostic efficacy of 3D cephalometry was found. Only 6 studies met the criteria for a moderate level of evidence. Accordingly, this systematic review reveals that there is still need for methodologically standardized studies on 3D cephalometric analysis. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

The effects of different orthodontic appliances upon microbial communities
ConclusionsThe results suggest that orthodontic treatment may cause sustained changes in plaque microbiotas and that molar bond‐associated plaque may have raised disease potential. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Enamel roughness and incidence of caries after interproximal enamel reduction: a systematic review
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of interproximal enamel reduction (IER) on tooth surfaces regarding the level of enamel roughness after applying different IER methods and the caries risk of treated teeth. Seven electronic databases were systematically searched. Two independent reviewers rated the articles at every step according to predetermined eligibility criteria. Data on enamel roughness were pooled if the same IER method was used and arithmetic values were available. Data on occurrence of caries were suitable for the analysis if the same units for caries development were used. From 2396 ci...

Long‐term changes in microbiology and clinical periodontal variables after completion of fixed orthodontic appliances
ConclusionPlacement of fixed appliances has an impact on periodontal parameters. The results showed that not all parameters were normalized at T3, indicating that the changes are only partially reversible. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Three‐dimensional evaluation of upper airway in patients with different anteroposterior skeletal patterns
ConclusionsThe volume and the most constricted cross‐sectional area of the airway varied with different anteroposterior skeletal patterns. The NA volume of Class I and Class III subjects was significantly larger than that of patients with a Class II skeletal pattern. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Alteration of functional loads after tongue volume reduction
ConclusionA healed volume‐reduced tongue may change loading regime significantly by elevating loading and altering strain‐dominant pattern and orientation on its surrounding structures, and these changes are more remarkable in mandibular than maxillary sites.
