Background: The traditional Herbst appliance induces mandibular incisor proclination independent of the anchorage system used. The dental effects of the Herbst appliance as an element of a completely customized lingual orthodontic (LO) appliance (Incognito, 3 M) has not been analyzed yet and the aim of this paper was to measure the effect of mandibular incisor proclination using this Herbst-LO device.
Methods: Retrospective study.
Inclusion Criteria: a) Class II >or= 5 mm molar relationship; b) Herbst appliance >or= 9 months in situ; and c) finished active treatment. Incisor position was measured on digital models before treatment, on the digital target setup, and on digital models obtained at the day of debonding. All measurements were performed by one investigator.
Results: Twelve patients (8 females, 4 males) out of 632 cases treated with a lingual appliance were included in the study. The measurement error computed with Dahlberg's formula was 0.2 degrees . Seven cases had planned (target setup) mandibular incisor uprighting (ccr), and five cases had proclination (clockwise rotation). There was no statistical difference (p > 0.05) between planned incisor rotations of the target setup and achieved incisor rotations at the day of debonding. The overall mean difference was 2.2 degrees +/- 1.0 degrees.
Conclusions: The Incognito-Herbst combination is the first Herbst device with full control over mandibular incisor movement. Using this system, anchorage loss or anchorage gain is independent of the Herbst treatment. It depends only on the planned tooth position of the individual target setup.

Filling post-extraction alveoli with hydroxyapatite-based materials is becoming an increasingly common procedure in veterinary dentistry. In dogs, tooth roots vary in structure depending on the weight of the dog, but data on tooth length and volume have not yet been described. This study aimed to establish reference data on tooth root length and post-extraction alveolar volume for mature maxillary and mandibular incisors and canines in dogs.

Introduction: This study aims to determine if intraoral 850 nm LED irradiation could reduce the duration of lower anterior crowding alignment.
Methods: In a parallel-designed, randomized controlled clinical trial 60 patients with 2 to 6 mm of lower incisor crowding who need non-extraction treatment, were randomly assigned to the intervention and control groups by block randomization (36 females, 24 males, mean age: 19.93 ± 3.

The Sichuan golden snub-nosed monkey (Rhinopithecus roxellana) is a rare and endangered species endemic to China that occupies a particularly important position in the evolutionary history of Rhinopithecus species. Oral health is a crucial aspect of overall well-being in both humans and nonhuman primates. We review the current limited literature on the dental characteristics and dental pathologies related to the golden snub-nosed monkey, based on skeleton data and morphological evidence.

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.

Introduction: This study evaluated the dentoskeletal effects of miniscrew-anchored maxillary protraction, which included a mandibular anchorage bar and a night facemask in adolescents.
Methods: A total of 20 growing patients with Class III malocclusion and maxillary deficiency were treated with a hybrid hyrax expander with 2 miniscrews in the maxilla and a mandibular anchor bar supported in 2 miniscrews in the anterior region of the mandible. Class III elastics were used from the maxillary first molars to the mandibular anchorage bar, joining the mandibular miniscrews installed between permanent incisors and canines.
