Osteoma of the Jaw as First Clinical Sign of Gardner's Syndrome: The Experience of Two Italian Centers and Review.

Gardner's syndrome (GS) is a combination of polyposis, osteomas, fibromas, and sebaceous cysts. The aim of the study is to highlight whether maxillofacial osteoma could represent an early detection symptom of GS. Patients with suspected osteoma of the jaw underwent genetic and radiographical examinations.

Cephalometric analysis of dental and skeletal effects of Carriere Motion 3D appliance for Class II malocclusion.

Introduction: The objective was to describe the dental and skeletal changes obtained using the Carriere Motion Appliance (CMA), lateral cephalogram, and the corresponding cephalometric tracings.

Methods: A sample of 29 patients with Class II malocclusion (mean age, 12.6 ± 1.

Early class III treatment with hybrid rapid palatal expander combined with facemask.

Background: Class III patients are characterized by a deficiency of the maxilla and/or a prognathism of the mandible and require early treatment.

Diagnosis: This case report describes the treatment of a 5-year-old patient with a skeletal class III relationship, a significant mandibular symphysis deviation towards the right side and a different height of the mandibular angles.

Management And Outcome: The patient was treated with rapid maxillary expander combined with miniscrew, facemask and aligners.

Experimental Study of the Pressures and Points of Application of the Forces Exerted between Aligner and Tooth.

The analysis of forces, moments and pressure points has long been of great interest in orthodontics. Hence, we set out to define a method for measuring the pressure exerted by aligners on the teeth, and specifically to identify the precise points of pressure exertion. Intraoral scans were performed on a patient with optimal alignment and levelling before and after 2º vestibularisation of the upper central incisor.

Comparative SEM analysis of nine F22 aligner cleaning strategies.

Background: The orthodontics industry has paid great attention to the aesthetics of orthodontic appliances, seeking to make them as invisible as possible. There are several advantages to clear aligner systems, including aesthetics, comfort, chairside time reduction, and the fact that they can be removed for meals and oral hygiene procedures.

Methods: Five patients were each given a series of F22 aligners, each to be worn for 14 days and nights, with the exception of meal and brushing times.
