Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effectiveness of two methods—plate screw system and intramedullary nailing—used in treating humeral shaft fractures, specifically looking at stress shielding through finite element analysis.
- Advanced imaging techniques, specifically CT scans, were utilized to create a detailed 3D model of the humerus, which was then analyzed using specialized software.
- Results indicated that intramedullary nailing produced less stress and fewer concentrations on the implants compared to the plate system, suggesting it may be a more effective method for osteosynthesis in these fractures.
Objectives: This study used computed tomography (CT) to compare the bone thickness and density values around the zygomaticomaxillary, zygomaticotemporal, and pterygomaxillary sutures that are resistant to rapid maxillary expansion (RME) treatment according to age, sex, and cervical vertebrae maturation (CVM) stage.
Methods: The study included 200 paranasal sinus records obtained for medical diagnosis and examination in a radiology clinic. The records provided data on 110 males and 90 females aged between 4 and 28 years.
Objective: To evaluate pharyngeal airway and maxillary sinus volumes following symmetric rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and asymmetric rapid maxillary expansion (ARME) treatment using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials And Methods: The study consisted of 60 patients presenting to the orthodontics clinic with an indication that they required symmetric or asymmetric rapid maxillary expansion treatment. Individuals were included if they were aged 12-15 years and had symmetric (RME group; 14 girls, 16 boys) or asymmetric (ARME group; 16 girls, 14 boys) maxillary deficiency.
Comparison of root resorption after bone-borne and tooth-borne rapid maxillary expansion evaluated with the use of microtomography.

Introduction: Root resorption was compared between bone-borne and tooth tissue-borne rapid maxillary expansion patients with the use of microtomography.
Methods: The study included 20 patients (ages 11-16 years) requiring fixed orthodontic treatment who underwent extraction of their first premolars after rapid maxillary expansion with the use of modified appliances. One side of the appliance covered the teeth with acrylic, while the other side was fixed to the palatal bone by means of a miniscrew.
