Background: Cannabis contains hundreds of chemical constituents beyond delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is believed to drive most of its acute pharmacodynamic effects. The entourage effect theory asserts that non-THC constituents can impact acute cannabis effects, but few empirical studies have systematically evaluated this theory in humans. This study assessed whether the cannabis terpenoid d-limonene mitigates the acute anxiogenic effects of THC.

Materials And Methods: Permanent maxillary central incisors and canines of 44 subjects with nonsyndromic cUCLP who had all their cleft-related surgeries performed by the same surgeon were analyzed retrospectively from chart notes and radiographs. Panoramic and periapical radiographs at time point 1 (T1) (age, 7.
Objective: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the cephalometric and occlusal changes of orthodontically treated Class III malocclusion patients.
Methods: The experimental groups comprised 37 Class III patients treated: G1) without (n=19) and G2) with extractions (n=18) . The control group (G3), matched by age and sex with the experimental groups, consisted of 18 subjects with untreated Class III malocclusion.
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate dentoskeletal changes in the treatment of Class II malocclusion with the Herbst Cantilever Bite Jumper (CBJ) appliance, associated with multibracket appliances after the growth peak, at pretreatment.
Materials And Methods: A sample of 37 individuals was divided into two groups: the experimental group comprised 16 patients treated consecutively for a mean period of 2.52 years with the Herbst CBJ appliance associated with multibracket appliances.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the timing of secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) in children with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate (CUCLP) and its impact on dental survival and outcomes of adjacent teeth, comparing pre-CE (before canine eruption) and post-CE (after canine eruption) grafting.
- A total of 44 subjects were analyzed, finding that dental outcomes were generally better on the noncleft side, and while outcomes on the cleft side showed no significant difference between the two groups, pre-CE SABG participants experienced fewer adverse effects like root resorption and planned prosthetic replacements.
- Ultimately, the study concludes that pre-CE SABG tends to lead to better dental outcomes compared
