Objective: To compare the effects of micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) vs piezocision (Piezo) in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement in adults.
Setting And Sample Population: In this randomized, single-blinded, parallel-group, split-mouth clinical trial, 24 patients aged 15-40 years were recruited.
Subjects And Methods: Patients were randomly allocated into two groups: MOPs and Piezo groups.

November 2019
Aims And Objectives: The aims of the study were to comprehensively assess the perception of altered dentofacial aesthetics between dental students and laypersons and to identify the threshold where different variables such gender and clinical training impair dentofacial attractiveness.
Materials And Methods: Ten photographs were digitally manipulated involving three facial, two smile, four dental, and one gingival components. Fifty images were randomized and rated according to attractiveness by two groups dental students which subdivided into preclinical students and clinical students, and laypersons.

Aim: A major challenge in orthodontics is decreasing treatment time without compromising treatment outcome. The purpose of this split-mouth trial was to evaluate micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement.
Materials And Methods: Eight patients of both genders were selected, age ranging between 15 and 40 years, with Class II Division 1 malocclusion.
Article Synopsis
- iRoot BP Plus, also called EndoSequence root repair material, is a premixed bioceramic used as a pulp-capping agent, composed of several silicates and dental fillers.
- A systematic review analyzed 22 studies assessing the cytotoxicity, bioactivity, and dentinal bridge formation of iRoot BP Plus, using various models including human dental pulp cells and animal teeth.
- The conclusion highlights that iRoot BP, iRoot BP Plus, and ERRM are biocompatible and promote important cellular processes, making them effective for dental repair purposes.
