Myofibroma (MF) is a benign neoplasm derived from myofibroblasts. While they are infrequent, these tumors are predominantly found in the pediatric group and seldom manifest as intraosseous mandibular tumors. Herein, we present a 9-year-old female with a radiolucent lesion in the left mandible associated with malposed left lower canine and 1st premolar teeth.

Background: Gingival recession (GR) in malposed tooth in association with bone dehiscence and/or fenestration poses a challenge for successful root coverage treatment. Lateral closed tunnel (LCT) technique is particularly useful in isolated GR in mandibular anterior region, where the shallow vestibular depth prevents tension-free coronal mobilization of tissues.

Methods: Twenty patients with GR associated with tooth malposition were treated using a combined orthodontic-periodontic approach with a torquing auxiliary spring followed by LCT technique.

A difficult treatment problem exists to construct a complete denture as opposed to an unmodified natural dentition. A harmonious occlusion is difficult to achieve when malposed, supra-erupted or missing teeth are present in the opposing arch. This incurs compromised stability and retention, failure of the prosthesis and patient discomfort.

Effect of Short-Term Ageing Treatment on Bending Force Behavior of Commercial Nickel-Titanium Archwire.

Laboratoire des Technologies Innovantes, UR UPJV 3899, Avenue des Facultés, Le Bailly, 80025 Amiens, France.

Superelastic nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwires have become the preferred archwire for orthodontic alignment and the levelling stage due to their ability to exert a light force on teeth throughout a wide range of tooth movement. The magnitude and trend of the force exerted on the malposed tooth is influenced by the orthodontist's consideration of the size and geometry of the NiTi archwire during orthodontic therapy. In this work, a novel approach of a short-term ageing treatment was utilized to modify the magnitude and trend of the bending force of a commercial superelastic NiTi archwire.

[Study of the root position of palatally malposed maxillary lateral incisor based on cone-beam CT images].

Shanghai Kou Qiang Yi Xue

Department of Orthodontics, Shanghai Stomatological Hospital; Oral Biomedical Engineering Laboratory, Fudan University. Shanghai 200001, China.

Purpose: The goal of this investigation was to measure and analyze the root position of palatally malposed maxillary lateral incisor based on cone-beam CT(CBCT)images, in order to provide references for orthodontists to move this kind of teeth scientifically.

Methods: CBCT data from 200 patients meeting the selection criteria with palatally malposed maxillary lateral incisor were investigated in this study. The root was divided into eight equal parts by length, then T1 to T8 were orderly pointed from root apex to alveolar ridge crest.
