Aims And Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of treatment following coronectomy on mandibular third molars with inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) involvement.
Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive analysis was done on the mandibular third molars of 37 people (≥ 18 years old, 28 males, and 9 females) who needed a coronectomy and had a confirmed diagnosis of IAN in groups I, II, and III according to the classification of Q. Luo 2018, as found by CBCT.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the effects of NiTi closed-coil springs and elastomeric chains on apical root resorption and alveolar bone changes after maxillary canine closure in patients with Angle Class I malocclusion.
- A randomized clinical trial involving 31 adults used cone-beam computed tomography and cephalometric radiographs before and after treatment to measure the outcomes.
- Both appliances caused similar tooth root resorption, with no statistically significant difference in root length change; however, both treatments positively affected alveolar bone levels significantly.
Face Mask Therapy and Comprehensive Orthodontic Treatment for Skeletal Class III Malocclusion: A Case Report.
Int J Clin Pediatr Dent
March 2024
Aim: This article aims to report a case of face mask therapy and comprehensive orthodontic treatment for skeletal class III malocclusion in a 16-year-old girl.
Background: Treating skeletal class III malocclusion in a growing patient is crucial, as it can help avoid the need for additional surgery. Early treatment also lessens the negative impacts of the patient's facial abnormality on their social life because surgery is only done later.
The Applicability of the Moyers, Tanaka-Johnston, and Gross-Hasund Analysis and a New Formula for the Vietnamese Population.

February 2024
Aim: Our aim is to determine the applicability of other analyses and develop a new formula appropriate for the Vietnamese population.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive analysis was conducted on a total of 120 dental arch samples (18-25 years old, 60 males, and 60 females) with <5 mm of tooth crowding, complete teeth on the dental arch, no missing teeth, and no fillings on the mesial or distal sides. Each study sample will be imprinted and measured using conventional as well as digital methods.

J Int Soc Prev Community Dent
February 2024
Article Synopsis
- Individuals with borderline Class III malocclusion display specific traits like retrusive upper lips and retroclined incisors, aiding in diagnosis.
- A case study of a 22-year-old Vietnamese woman revealed issues with her front teeth and confidence in smiling, alongside a history of dental treatment.
- Orthodontic camouflage was used successfully, resulting in a Class I bite relationship and significant aesthetic improvements to her smile and facial profile within 10 months, without the need for surgery.
