Analysis of the torque capacity of a completely customized lingual appliance of the next generation [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: In lingual orthodontic therapy, effective torque control of the incisors is crucial due to the biomechanical particularities associated with the point of force application and the tight link between third order deviations and vertical tooth

Indirect orthodontic bonding with drop-shaped hot glue tray: a simple and cost-effective technique
Despite being associated with more accuracy, the indirect bonding procedure is not yet the gold standard, probably because of sensitivity of the numerous variables that must be controlled.

Effect of activation and preactivation on the mechanical behavior and neutral position of stainless steel and beta-titanium T-loops [PDF]
Objective: To quantify, for each activation, the effect of preactivations of differing distribution and intensity on the neutral position of T-loops (7-mm height), specifically the horizontal force, moment to force (M/F) ratio, and load to deflection ...

Versatile Auxiliary Orthodontic Spring for Orthodontic Correction of Impacted Teeth
The ectopic eruption and impaction of permanent canine is a frequently encountered clinical problem. Lowest incidence of impacted canines 0.27% reported in literature relates to Japanese sample population. In Americans and Israeli, it is 1.5% while the highest incidence of 7.9% was reported among Iceland population.

Amyloid‐Mediated Remineralization for the Prevention of White Spot Lesions in Orthodontic Treatments
This study introduces phase‐transitioned lysozyme (PTL) coatings that trigger layer‐by‐layer hydroxyapatite growth on enamel. The PTL‐induced mineral shield mimics natural enamel structure, providing robust acid resistance and mechanical protection. Acting as a sacrificial barrier, it prevents biofilm‐induced demineralization and enables self‐repair ...
