: Orthodontics is a field that has seen significant advancements in recent years, with technology playing a crucial role in improving diagnosis and treatment planning. The study aimed to implement artificial intelligence to predict the arch width as a preventive measure to avoid future crowding in growing patients or even in adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment as a tool for orthodontic diagnosis. : Four hundred and fifty intraoral scan (IOS) images were selected from orthodontic patients seeking treatment in private orthodontic centers.

The morphology of teeth and the shapes of the face are significantly influenced by racial, cultural, and environmental factors, so the current study focused on these demographics. : This study is a retrospective study and included one hundred intraoral scanned images selected from patients seeking orthodontic treatment.

The prediction of occlusal problems is of utmost importance for clinicians. This present study aimed to find any possible correlation between unilateral and bilateral palatally impacted maxillary canine, palatal dimensions, and maxillary arch perimeter using digital measurements and determine the factors that could be used as predictors for maxillary palatal canine impaction.

- The hard palate is crucial for separating the oral and nasal cavities and this study aimed to analyze its morphology in a Kurdish sample from Sulaimani, focusing on three-dimensional dimensions and their relationships to maxillary arch characteristics.
- A sample of 100 orthodontic patients aged 16-24 was used, with findings showing a predominance of narrow palates (80%) and a majority with tapered maxillary arch forms (90%), with males generally having larger palatal dimensions than females.
- The study found significant correlations between various palatal parameters, notably a strong positive correlation between arch form and canine depth, and a strong negative correlation between arch perimeter and molar depth.
Article Synopsis
- The study focused on creating a prediction equation to estimate the arch perimeter based on various dental measurements in the Kurdish population of Sulaimani City using 100 preorthodontic dental casts.
- Statistical analysis using SPSS revealed two separate equations for upper and lower dental arches, incorporating measurements like arch length and intermolar width.
- The results indicated that the predicted arch perimeters matched well with the actual measurements, suggesting useful applications in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning.
Background: This longitudinal clinical study aimed to determine the amount of creeping attachment and its relation to baseline recession depth after placement of free gingival grafts (FGG) apical to class I, II, and III Miller's recession defects.
Materials And Methods: Twenty subjects with Miller class I, II, and III gingival recession defects requiring FGG were recruited into this longitudinal clinical study. Site-specific clinical parameters (pocket depth, depth and width of gingival recession and width of keratinized gingiva apical to the recession) were recorded at baseline, 3 month and 6 month time points using a digital caliper.
