Three‐Dimensional Effects of Two Minimally Invasive Surgically Assisted Rapid Palatal Expansion Techniques

open access: yesOrthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective This study evaluated, in three dimensions, the skeletal effects of two minimally invasive bone‐anchored techniques for surgically assisted palatal expansion, with and without pterygomaxillary disjunction (PD) and nasal septum disinsertion (NSD). Materials and Methods Thirty‐nine patients were retrospectively selected from two centres

Dental Arch Expansion With In‐House Clear Aligners: An Exploratory Prospective Clinical Study on Torque, Vertical Control and Attachment Configuration

open access: yesOrthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To evaluate the short‐term efficacy of transverse dental arch expansion with in‐house aligners (IHA) by comparing planned and achieved buccolingual movements, and secondarily to explore torque expression, vertical control and the influence of attachment design/position using a contralateral within‐subject approach.

The Effects of Rapid Periodontal Distraction on Tooth Vitality and Bone Quality/Quantity: A Split‐Mouth Experimental Design

open access: yesOrthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Periodontal distraction (PD) osteogenesis is a minimally invasive technique capable of rapidly moving uniradicular teeth, thereby shortening orthodontic treatment time. This study aimed to determine whether: (1) PD‐induced tooth movement affects tooth vitality and (2) the regenerated bone meets restorative standards for implant ...

Association Between Facial Profile Attractiveness and Full‐Face Attractiveness in Individuals With Convex Facial Profiles

open access: yesOrthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Facial attractiveness significantly influences social and personal outcomes, and therefore, interventions in orthodontics and maxillofacial surgery often aim at enhancing facial appearance. This study investigated the relationship between facial profile attractiveness and overall (frontal and profile) facial attractiveness to ...
