Third molar agenesis in individuals with supernumerary teeth.

Objectives: To explore the association between third molar agenesis and supernumerary tooth formation in a white-European population.

Materials And Methods: A record review in various orthodontic clinics identified 380 eligible white-European individuals, half of whom had non-syndromic permanent supernumerary teeth (122 males and 68 females, totalling 244 supernumerary teeth; median age: 13.1, iqr: 1.

Supernumerary Tooth Patterns in Non-Syndromic White European Subjects.

Supernumerary teeth form at an incidence of about 3% in the population, with differences among races and various clinical consequences. Information on detailed patterns, and especially on white subjects, is scarce in the literature. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the patterns of non-syndromic permanent supernumerary teeth in a white European population.

Long-term effectiveness of non-surgical open-bite treatment: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The etiology of open bite is complex, involving various genetic or environmental factors. Several treatment alternatives have been suggested for the correction of open bite, yet their long-term effectiveness remains controversial.

Objective: To assess the long-term effectiveness of open-bite treatment in treated with non-surgical approaches versus untreated patients, through lateral cephalometric radiographs.

Assisted reproduction technology outcomes in women with infertility and preexisting diabetes mellitus: a systematic review.

Objective: To assess maternal and neonatal outcomes in women with or without preexisting diabetes mellitus (DM) undergoing assisted reproduction technology (ART) treatment.

Methods: Prospective or retrospective controlled trials reporting on women with or without preexisting DM undergoing ART treatment were considered eligible. Twelve electronic databases were systematically searched up to December 2020.

Effects of systematic bisphosphonate use in patients under orthodontic treatment: a systematic review.

Background: Bisphosphonates are a class of drugs prescribed for several osseous related disorders owing to their ability to regulate bone turnover, which could in turn affect orthodontic treatment outcomes.

Objective: To examine the effect of bisphosphonate (BP) use on orthodontic patients through clinical and radiographic measurements.

Search Methods: Systematic and unrestricted search of 17 databases complemented with additional hand-searches were performed up to March 2019.

Treatment effects of fixed functional appliances in patients with Class II malocclusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To assess the treatment effects of fixed functional appliances (FFAs) in treated versus untreated Class II patients by means of lateral cephalometric radiographs.

Search Methods: Unrestricted electronic search of 18 databases and additional manual searches up to October 2014.

Selection Criteria: Prospective randomized and non-randomized controlled trials reporting on cephalometric angular measurements of Class II patients treated with FFAs and their matched untreated controls.

Treatment effects of removable functional appliances in patients with Class II malocclusion: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To assess the treatment effects of removable functional appliances (RFAs) in treated versus untreated patients with Class II malocclusion by means of lateral cephalometric radiographs.

Search Methods: Unrestricted electronic search of 18 databases and manual searches up to October 2013.

Selection Criteria: Prospective randomized and non-randomized controlled trials reporting on cephalometric angular measurements of Class II patients treated with RFAs and their matched controls.
