Background: Rotations are frequently evaluated through various assessment methods of crowding and arch dimension, with relatively few studies discussing the extent or direction of rotations and even fewer addressing the reliability of such assessments. This systematic review aims to comprehensively analyze existing classification systems for rotated teeth and assess rotation in anterior and posterior teeth, its clinical applicability, and its impact on retention and relapse.
Search Methods: Two investigators conducted a comprehensive search in six databases, namely, PubMed, Scopus, Ovid, LILACS, Web of Science, and Cochrane CENTRAL, up to 28 March 2024.
Microbial flora surrounding orthodontic temporary skeletal anchorage devices: A systematic review.
J Oral Biol Craniofac Res
December 2024
Aim: The oral cavity harbours distinct microorganisms, which create a unique microenvironment. These microorganisms might trigger inflammatory reactions in the host, potentially leading to inflammation that can question the stability of temporary skeletal anchorage devices(TSADs). This study aimed to systematically review the literature on the type of microorganisms around TSADs.

Objectives: Skeletal class III malocclusion presents either with maxillary retrognathism, mandibular excess, or a combination. Dentoalveolar compensations occur with maxillary incisor proclination and mandibular incisor retroclination. The aim of this study is to quantify the amount of incisal compensation in class III skeletal malocclusion and correlate it to the severity of the skeletal base.

Poor solubility, permeability and high susceptibility to hydrolytic degradation make it challenging to formulate a drug delivery system. Despite its drawbacks, it is a potent antifungal drug against Candida and other fungal species.

- This study evaluated how interproximal contacts, which are the spaces between teeth, change during and after orthodontic treatment using a system called the OXIS classification.
- Researchers looked at data from 30 patients at three different stages: before treatment (T0), after treatment (T1), and one year later (T2).
- Significant changes were noted, especially in the mandibular arch, where contact patterns shifted notably from T0 to T1, with broader contacts being normal by T2.
