Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of different lever arm heights on stress and displacement of teeth during mandibular arch distalization using buccal shelf screws.
- Three 3D models were created to simulate the arch with varying lever arm heights (0 mm, 3 mm, and 6 mm) and involved applying a retraction force with specific orthodontic equipment.
- Findings revealed higher stress levels in the bones at 0 mm lever arm height, while increased heights improved bodily movement of the molars, demonstrating a predictable relationship between the arch's center of resistance and applied forces.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness of micro-osteoperforation (MOP) in speeding up canine retraction during orthodontic treatment, while also evaluating the pain discomfort levels following the procedure.
- Conducted as a randomized, controlled trial with 22 participants aged 18-30, one side of each patient’s mouth received MOP treatment while the other served as a control, measuring canine movement and pain at various intervals.
- Results showed that MOP significantly increased canine retraction rates by two times compared to the control side, with mild-to-moderate pain experienced only in the first 72 hours, suggesting MOP is a valuable adjunct for reducing overall orthodontic treatment time.
Impact of facial components on the attractiveness of face: A perception-based study.

Introduction: Magazines and television displays are not merely crammed with faces-they are filled with appealing faces, and both men and women are interested in a suitable partner's appearance. This study investigated what makes a face attractive and whether perception-related differences exist between facial attractiveness and facial components.
Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, frontal and lateral view photographs of 18 young adults (9 male and 9 female) in Class I, II, and III malocclusions were assessed by 90 orthodontists, dentists, models, and laypeople using a 7-point Likert scale in terms of attractiveness.
