Benefits of Using Low-level Laser Therapy in the Rapid Maxillary Expansion: A Systematic Review.

Aim And Objective: Determine the benefits of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as a complement to rapid maxillary expansion (RME), through a systematic review.

Background: Transversal maxillary compression is a common skeletal problem that can be treated with different devices. This RME technique consists of the separation and regeneration of the midpalatal suture.

Dental and chronological age in children under oncological treatment.

The current oncology treatment has improved the survival of children with several types of cancer, and the effect of radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy treatment on dental maturation in comparison with chronological age is not widely known. The aim of this work was to evaluate and compare the impact of radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy treatment during dental maturation with chronological age in Chilean children diagnosed with cancer. Study Design was cross-sectional study on children diagnosed with different types of cancer and treated with radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy when they were ages of 0.

Study of Chilean children's dental maturation.

In forensic science, determining a person's chronological age has become a challenge for researchers. Determining age using dental calcification is becoming increasingly important. The objective of this study is to estimate the dental age of the children's population in Region VIII, Chile.
