Incidence of Gingival Recessions in Adolescent Orthodontic Patients Treated With Fixed Appliances and Lingual Retainer.

Aim: To evaluate risk indicators for gingival recessions (GRs) in the lower anterior teeth of orthodontic patients post treatment and during a retention period of at least 5 years, compared to non-treated controls.

Material And Methods: Eighty-nine orthodontically treated patients who were recession-free before treatment were recruited. Demographic, cephalometric and occlusal records were retrieved before (T1) and after treatment (T2), and periodontal outcomes were clinically evaluated at least 5 years post retention (T3).

Cleft Palate and Presurgical Orthopedics: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Intra-Arch Dimensions During the First Year of Life.

: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effects of presurgical orthopedics (PSO) on maxillary arch dimensions in infants with cleft lip and palate during the first year of life. : The review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. A comprehensive electronic search was performed in MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases, supplemented by manual searching.

Association between Eruption Sequence of Posterior Teeth, Dental Crowding, Arch Dimensions, Incisor Inclination, and Skeletal Growth Pattern.

Background: We conducted research to investigate the effects of the eruption sequence of posterior teeth, arch dimensions, and incisor inclination on dental crowding.

Material And Methods: A cross-sectional analytic study was performed on 100 patients (54 boys and 46 girls; mean ages: 11.69 and 11.

DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMANCE OF CONE-BEAM COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY TO DIAGNOSE IN VIVO/IN VITRO ROOT RESORPTION: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS.

Background: This review analyses the diagnostic performance of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) for the in vivo/in vitro detection of external root resorption (ERR) and critically analyses current and past methods of measuring or classifying ERR in vivo/in vitro in terms of radiation doses and cumulative radiation risks.

Methods: A diagnostic test accuracy (DTA) protocol was used for a systematic review of diagnostic methods following PRISMA guidelines. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (ID: CRD42019120513).

GWAS of Post-Orthodontic Aggressive External Apical Root Resorption Identified Multiple Putative Loci at X-Y Chromosomes.

Personalized dental medicine requires from precise and customized genomic diagnostic. To conduct an association analysis over multiple putative loci and genes located at chromosomes 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, X, and Y, potentially implicated in an extreme type of external apical root resorption secondary to orthodontic forces (aEARR). A genome-wide association study of aEARR was conducted with 480 patients [ratio~1:3 case/control].
