Objective: Cortical bone thickness plays an important role in the primary stability of miniscrews. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the buccal cortical bone thickness in adolescent subjects with different vertical skeletal patterns using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials And Methods: We examined the CBCT images of 75 patients (30 males, 45 females; mean age 16.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether 50 Hz extremely low frequency electromagnetic fields (ELF-EMFs) affect the amount of orthodontic tooth movement in rats. The experiments were performed on 18 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The rats were randomly divided into three groups ( = 6): cage-control (Cg-Cnt) group ( = 6); sinusoidal electromagnetic field (SEMF) group ( = 6); and pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) group ( = 6).

Methods: The CBCT records of 20 subjects (9 boys, mean age: 13.97 ± 1.
Objective: To evaluate the root resorption after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) via cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials And Methods: Records of 25 patients who had undergone RME with tooth-borne banded expander were obtained from the archive of the orthodontic department. CBCT data were reconstructed with surface and volume rendering, and the volumetric images were manipulated to display the root surfaces from various orientations.
