Materials And Methods: The authors have devised a specialized testing apparatus, using a universal testing machine, for the mechanical characterisation of orthodontic mini-implants (OMI) installed in pig hard palate. The experimental investigation encompasses seven screw types, each subjected to pull-out, push-in, and shear forces.
Article Synopsis
- Autotransplantation is a surgical approach used to reposition teeth, particularly impacted canines, which are more common in females and may be embedded due to late eruption.
- *The systematic review examined 11 studies with 395 canine transplants, showing higher success rates in younger females, with long-term survival rates of up to 67.9% after over 21 years.
- *While autotransplantation can be effective, complications and patient satisfaction are under-researched, highlighting the need for better consensus guidelines in treatment decisions.*
Background: Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumours, often considered hamartomas rather than true neoplasms. These mixed tumours consist of fully differentiated dental tissues, including enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp. Odontomas can be classified into compound and complex types.

Materials: This randomised clinical trial aimed to compare digital models pre- and post-treatment over 12 months in patients receiving tooth-borne Leaf Expander® (LE) and tooth-borne Hyrax-type maxillary expander (RPE) treatments, alongside untreated patients. Analysis included 24 LE patients (13 males, 11 females, mean age 8.
