AI Article Synopsis

  • Dental injuries during infancy and adolescence often lead to complex issues for orthodontic treatment due to the varying long-term outcomes of the affected teeth.
  • Sometimes, orthodontic therapy is not impacted, while in other instances, it can complicate the treatment process.
  • The paper discusses how dental trauma affects tooth development and presents case examples that highlight its influence on orthodontic treatment planning.

Article Abstract

Because of the frequency of dental injuries during infancy and adolescence, traumatized teeth with variable long-term prognoses present a problem for orthodontic treatment planning. Orthodontic therapy can remain unaffected, or be complicated, by traumatized teeth. In some cases, following dental injury, orthodontics can also be used to enhance (prosthetic and) restorative treatment results. The orthodontic challenges involved in treating patients with a history of dental trauma are complicated by the consequences of trauma on dentition development and the different treatment options that must be considered. In this paper, we provide actual examples of the effects dental trauma can have on orthodontic treatment planning.

Pre- and postoperative photos to assess results are widely used in plastic and reconstructive surgery, for instance, in patients with cleft lip and palate (CL/P). Evaluations are often performed by assessment panels by viewing the photos. However, these are prone to be subjective.

Aim: This study aimed to analyze the upper airway dimensions in adult patients with different anteroposterior (sagittal) skeletal malocclusions (class I, II, and III) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study involved 90 CBCT records from adult subjects who were categorized into three skeletal groups based on their ANB values: Class I ( = 30), class II ( = 30), and class III ( = 30) and were evaluated. The following upper airway measurements were considered: oropharyngeal airway volume, hypopharyngeal airway volume, pharyngeal airway volume, oropharyngeal airway length, hypopharyngeal airway length, pharyngeal airway length, the most constricted site of the pharyngeal airway, and the most constricted cross-sectional area (MIN-CSA) of the pharyngeal airway.

Background/purpose: Orthodontic movement is often necessary for periodontally compromised patients to enhance esthetics, function, and long-term occlusal stability. However, the impact of orthodontic treatment immediately following the regeneration of intrabony defects on periodontal healing remains a topic of debate. The objective of this long-term case series study was to test the hypothesis that orthodontic treatment performed immediately after regenerative procedures for periodontal intrabony defects did not adversely affect periodontal healing.

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is an inherited error in metabolism resulting from loss-of-function variants in the gene, which encodes tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP). TNAP plays a crucial role in biomineralization of bones and teeth, in part by reducing levels of inorganic pyrophosphate (PP), an inhibitor of biomineralization. HPP onset in childhood contributes to rickets, including growth plate defects and impaired growth.
