Objectives: The purpose of this retrospective study was to compare the dento-skeletal changes observed in growing Class III patients treated with the Face Mask Protocol (FMP) with and without Bite Block (BB).
Materials: Thirty subjects (12 f, 18 m) who underwent FM/BB therapy were compared to a matched group (FM) of 29 patients (15 f, 14 m) treated without BB. All patients were evaluated before treatment (T0), at the end of active treatment (T1), and at a post-pubertal follow-up observation (T2).
Introduction: Transition of care from hospital to primary care has been recognised globally as a high-risk scenario for older patients' safety by the WHO. Indeed, sub-optimal care transitions are associated with increased mortality, morbidity and adverse events.Improving communication through timely and accurate clinical information transfer has been identified as a key component of optimal care transitions.

- This study aimed to compare the effects of two orthodontic treatments (Twin Block and Mandibular Advancement) on airway dimensions in children with Class II malocclusions and Sleep Disorder Breathing (SDB) symptoms.
- The research included 22 patients in the Twin Block group and 23 in the Mandibular Advancement group, analyzing changes in airway size before and after treatment using lateral cephalograms and a sleep questionnaire.
- Both treatment methods resulted in increased airway size and improved SDB symptoms, with significant changes noted in both upper and lower airway dimensions after treatment.
Objectives: To evaluate leveling of the Curve of Wilson (COW) by two different treatment appliances (clear aligners [CA] and continuous archwire fixed appliances [FA]) in a permanent dentition sample of patients.
Materials And Methods: Digital casts of 40 patients (CA group = 20 patients; FA group = 20 patients) were collected. Angular values for COW, right and left vertical height difference of lower first molars, and linear distance between lower teeth and the WALA ridge were analyzed for pre- (T1), posttreatment (T2) and on final virtual (ClinCheck) models (T2-CC) of the CA group.
