Effect of cleft palate type and manufacturing method on feeding plate adaptation: A volumetric micro‐computed tomography analysis

Journal of Prosthodontics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Feeding plates for cleft palate patients have been used by clinicians for many years to temporarily close the oro‐nasal communication until definitive treatment with surgical techniques. The current in vitro study aimed to evaluate the adaptation of the feeding plates manufactured by two different techniques for three cleft types ...

Prevalence of Altered Craniofacial Morphology in Children With OSA

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Snoring and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) affect a significant percentage of children. Recent studies have suggested that altered craniofacial morphology may contribute to the multifactorial pathophysiology of OSA. This study aims to determine the prevalence of craniofacial abnormalities and malocclusion in children referred for ...

How AI‐Driven Root and Bone Predictions Can Assist Clear Aligner Treatment Planning

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and advanced three‐dimensional (3D) imaging has revolutionised dentistry by enhancing diagnostics and treatment planning. Advanced algorithms and machine‐learning techniques may enable orthodontists to analyse complex cases and predict treatment outcomes accurately.

Influence of Different Preactivation Patterns and Aligner Materials on the Capability of Aligners to Induce Palatal Root Torque of Upper Incisors: An In Vitro Biomechanical Study

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Previous studies have demonstrated that aligners with labial‐cervical pressure points can induce root movement, but with initial unwanted tipping. This study assessed the impact of palatal‐incisal pressure points on improving root movement and reducing initial offset.

Low Tongue Posture Improvement Effect of Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy Comprehensive Study of Nasal Ventilation Condition Using Computational Fluid Dynamics and Dental Arch Morphology

Orthodontics &Craniofacial Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives Oral myofunctional therapy (OMFT) has been proposed as a potential treatment for improving low tongue posture (LTP) and alleviating obstructive sleep apnea. However, its effectiveness remains uncertain. This study aimed to quantify the effects of OMFT on LTP.
