Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of mandibular second premolar (MnP2) distoangulation among orthodontic patients and the angular changes after a longitudinal follow-up.
Methods: The sample was collected from the orthodontic records of 865 patients. The distoangulation group was composed of 42 patients (mean age 9.
Article Synopsis
- The study compared the stability of anterior open bite (AOB) in children treated with rapid maxillary expansion (RME) before fixed palatal crib therapy versus those treated only with palatal crib therapy.
- Analysis included 50 patients divided into two groups (EPC and PC) over several years, checking for AOB relapse and treatment duration.
- Results showed similar stability and relapse rates between the groups, but patients treated with RME had a shorter overall treatment time.
Purpose: To assess the facial esthetics of patients with complete bilateral cleft lip and palate, and to compare the judgment of raters related and unrelated to cleft care.
Materials And Methods: The sample comprised 23 adult patients (7 women and 16 men) with a mean age of 26.1 years, rehabilitated at a single center.
Objective: To test the hypothesis that there is no difference in the dimensions of the upper and lower dental arches in Class II division 1 malocclusion with a mandibular deficiency compared to normal Class I occlusion dental arches.
Materials And Methods: Photocopies of the dental arches of 48 patients exhibiting Class II division 1 malocclusion with mandibular deficiency and of 51 individuals with normal occlusion were compared. Mandibular deficiency was diagnosed clinically.
Delayed odontogenesis of a lower second premolar is presented in a case treated without extraction and focuses on the 7-year follow-up of the delayed tooth bud. The follow-up was initiated when the crown formation was diagnosed and was finished when the tooth erupted completely into the orthodontically provided space, which enabled the orthodontic leveling and alignment of the delayed premolar. The long follow-up indicates that delayed tooth buds may develop completely and normally.

The mean age at the beginning of treatment was 9 years and the mean treatment time was 7.1 months.
