Morphological characteristics of frontal sinus and nasal bone focusing on bone resorption and apposition in hypophosphatemic rickets
ConclusionsThe size of the frontal sinus was unaffected, indicating a normal ability of bone resorption within the bone. The morphology of the nasal bone was abnormal indicating a disturbance in bone formation during growth. The disturbances in nasal bone modeling were mainly expressed in the proximal part supported by structures of cartilaginous origin. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

A rat model for orthodontic translational expansive tooth movement
ConclusionWith the model used in the P2 group, further research on translational expansive tooth movement and its effect on the periodontium can be pursued. In models for orthodontic expansion, it is strongly recommended to separately evaluate skeletal and dental effects. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

The validity, reliability, and time requirement of study model analysis using cone‐beam computed tomography–generated virtual study models
ConclusionsStudy model analysis using CBCT‐generated study models was reliable but not always valid and required more time to perform when compared with plaster models. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Metabolic changes of human dental pulp after rapid palatal expansion
ConclusionsThese results showed that significant reversible metabolic changes occurred in dental pulp during RPE, which revealed the high capacity of the pulp tissue for adaptation to this orthopedic method. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Reliability of different methods for measuring the inclination of the maxillary canines on panoramic radiographs
ConclusionThe four methods used in this study to measure CI showed excellent intra‐rater and inter‐rater reliability, irrespective of examiner experience level. Method B was the least reliable and method C the most reliable, if compared with the others. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Accuracy of volumetric measurement of simulated root resorption lacunas based on cone beam computed tomography
ConclusionsThe accuracy of 3‐D quantitative volumetric measurement of simulated root resorption based on CBCT was fairly good in detecting simulated resorption cavities larger than 3.47 mm3, while it was not sufficient for measuring resorption cavities smaller than 1.07 mm3. This method could be applied in future studies of root resorption although further studies are required to improve its accuracy. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Treatment for agenesis of maxillary lateral incisors: a systematic review
ConclusionsThere is no scientific evidence for any of the three most common types of treatment for agenesis of the maxillary lateral incisors. RCTs into this issue are still necessary. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Upper airway changes in Pierre Robin sequence from childhood to adulthood
ConclusionsUpper airway dimensions in children with PRS improve with time, except for the oropharyngeal airway. Despite large interindividual variation, the mean remained in the lower reaches of normality described in other studies. Thus, further research should investigate the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnoea in adults with PRS. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Efficacy of the Sander bite‐jumping appliance in growing patients with mandibular retrusion: a randomized controlled trial
ConclusionThe BJA can effectively correct class II malocclusions by a combination of dentoalveolar and skeletal effects. The long‐term stability of the correction needs to be evaluated. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)
