Disturbances of dental development distinguish patients with oligodontia ‐ectodermal dysplasia from isolated oligodontia
ConclusionsOligodontia‐ED distinguishes from isolated oligodontia by more disturbances in dental development. The abnormal shape of incisors and canines in a patient with oligodontia can raise suspicions for accompanying ectodermal abnormalities. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Pharyngeal airway changes following maxillary expansion or protraction: A meta ‐analysis
Abstract The aim of this meta‐analysis was to investigate the changes in airway dimensions after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and facemask (FM) protraction. Using PubMed, Medline, ScienceDirect and Web of Science, only controlled clinical trials, published up to November 2016, with RME and/or FM as keywords that had ≥6 months follow‐up period were included in this meta‐analysis. The changes in pharyngeal airway dimension in both two‐dimensional and three‐dimensional images were included in the analysis. Nine studies met the criteria. There are statically significant changes in upper airway and nasal passage...

Effects of loading on chondrocyte hypoxia, HIF ‐1α and VEGF in the mandibular condylar cartilage of young rats
ConclusionMechanical loading seems to directly induce weight‐bearing area hypoxia followed by new vessel formation, which indicates that these factors are related and important for the development of cartilage. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Effectiveness of nickel ‐titanium springs vs elastomeric chains in orthodontic space closure: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Conclusions: There is a moderate quality of evidence suggesting a faster orthodontic space closure with the NiTi‐CS when compared to EPC. A comparable amount of anchorage loss was observed regardless of the utilized method of space closure. Further high‐quality RCTs with parallel‐groups, reporting on the adverse effects and patient‐centred values, are recommended. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Outcome of orthodontic palatal plate therapy for orofacial dysfunction in children with Down syndrome: A systematic review
Abstract To evaluate the effects of orthodontic palatal plate therapy (OPPT) in the treatment of orofacial dysfunction in children with Down syndrome (DS). Indexed databases were searched. Clinical trials in DS allocated to test (treatment with palatal plates) versus control group (without palatal plates/special physiotherapy for orofacial stimulation) with follow‐up of any time duration and assessing mouth closure, tongue position, active and inactive muscle function as outcomes. Study designs, subject demographics, frequency and duration of palatal plate therapy, method for assessment, follow‐up period and outcomes w...

Temporomandibular joint positional change accompanies post ‐surgical mandibular relapse—A long‐term retrospective study among patients who underwent mandibular advancement
ConclusionsPatients who underwent orthognathic and orthodontic treatment to correct mandibular retrognathism displayed follow‐up mandibular relapse in the sagittal direction. The relapse is accompanied by condylar positional change. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

A prospective cohort study assessing the appearance of retrieved aesthetic orthodontic archwires
ConclusionsConsiderable esthetic variation between arch wires following 6 weeks of intraoral cycling was identified in this prospective cohort study. Intraoral cycling has a negative impact on participant perception of arch wire esthetics, and objective and subjective assessment of wire esthetics appears to be consistent.
