Background: While orthodontic miniscrews have been widely documented for their successful application, limited research exists on the stability and effectiveness of reused miniscrews. This systematic review aims to evaluate the stability and effectiveness of reused miniscrews in orthodontic treatments.
Methods: An electronic search was conducted for studies published up to February 2024 across MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane CENTRAL.
Objective: To compare the effectiveness of different oral hygiene education strategies on periodontal health in fixed orthodontic patients in a one-month period: assistant-led instruction, social media-based education, and custom-made software.
Methods: Sixty orthodontic patients from Mashhad University of Medical Sciences' Dentistry School were randomly assigned into three groups. Each group received oral health education differently: via assistant instruction, educational videos on social media, or a researcher-designed software for Android smartphones.
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to compare the effectiveness of heat-activated NiTi (HANT) wires to traditional NiTi wires in orthodontic alignment through a systematic review and meta-analysis.
- A comprehensive search was conducted up to January 2024 across various databases, including MEDLINE and Cochrane's CENTRAL, with a focus on clinical studies and risk assessment for bias.
- Results showed no significant differences in the effectiveness of both wire types regarding tooth alignment, pain intensity, or root resorption, suggesting that the choice of wire should consider patient and clinician preferences despite HANT wires potentially being more expensive.
Introduction: The Nordic Orofacial Test-Screening (NOT-S) protocol serves as a widely recognized tool for assessing orofacial dysfunction comprehensively. This study aimed to compare orofacial dysfunction between unilateral (UCLP) and bilateral (BCLP) cleft lip and palate patients using the NOT-S.
Materials And Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study enrolled 104 patients, comprising 72 with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and 32 with bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) referred to the cleft lip and palate clinic of Mashhad Dental School.
Article Synopsis
- This study developed an artificial intelligence system to classify dental occlusion using intraoral photographs and compared its accuracy to that of an expert clinician.
- The research involved 948 adult patients and included various malocclusion classifications, with the AI system trained on photos from 700 patients and tested on 248.
- Results showed the AI achieved high accuracy rates in classifying malocclusion, outperforming orthodontists, particularly in predicting angle classification.
Objective: Pain is among the most unpleasant experience during fixed orthodontic therapy. This study compared the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and laser acupuncture therapy (LAT) in pain reduction after initial archwire placement.

The purpose of this study was to review the in vitro literature on shear bond strength (SBS) and microleakage of pit and fissure sealant materials in contaminated (water, human, or artificial saliva) and non-contaminated conditions. PubMed, Web of Science™, Scopus, Embase™, and Cochrane Library databases were used as data sources. Of the 974 studies identified, 56 were considered eligible for full-text screening and 32 were selected for data extraction.

Method and materials First, the title and summary of related articles were collected by using the search strategy electronic databases PUBMED, EMBASE, Cochrane's CENTRAL, Scopus, ISI and all the articles that were published from the beginning to February 2023 were evaluated. The title, abstracts and full texts of all the relevant studies were reviewed respectively, and those meeting the criteria were entered into our study.

Search Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted in MEDLINE, Web of Science, EMBASE, Scopus, Cochrane's CENTRAL, Google Scholar, Ovid, and LILACS up to May 2023, with no language or date restrictions.
Selection Criteria: Only randomized clinical trials (RCTs) that complied with PICO questions were included, and the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.
Background: Maxillofacial fractures are a common type of injury that can result in significant morbidity and mortality. We aimed to systematically review the literature on the prevalence and causes of maxillofacial fractures in Iran to estimate the overall prevalence of maxillofacial fractures and the most common causes.
Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science (WS) and Google Scholar (GS) electronic databases was conducted to identify relevant articles published up to January 2023.
Background: Deep bite is known as one of the most common malocclusions, and its treatment and retention are often challenging. The use of mini-screws has been suggested as an ideal method for the intrusion of incisors in deep-bite patients. Still, there are conflicting reports regarding the superiority of this method compared to other common treatments.
