We describe the orthodontic treatment of a patient with Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber syndrome (KTWS) who received orthodontic treatment that included rapid palatal expansion and orthognathic surgery. There is no report in the literature with this orthodontic treatment protocol, that was considered successful. The pros and cons of this approach as well as the risks involved are discussed.

Department of Orthodontics, Bauru Dental School, University of São Paulo, Bauru, Brazil.
Introduction: The objective of this study was to compare the dental and skeletal changes promoted by the miniscrew-anchored cantilever and pendulum appliance for Class II correction.
Methods: This retrospective study involved 52 patients with Class II malocclusion divided into 2 groups according to the treatment received: the miniscrew group (MG) with 23 patients (14 females and 9 males; mean initial age of 12.42 years) treated using the miniscrew-anchored cantilever, and the pendulum group (PG) with 29 patients (21 females and 8 males; mean initial age of 13.
Volumetric and tridimensional root resorption and alveolar bone changes in Class II malocclusion extraction protocol treated with clear aligners and fixed orthodontic appliances: A comparative study.
Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop

Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou, Henan, China. Electronic address:
Introduction: This study aimed to assess the root resorption and alveolar bone changes of maxillary incisors volumetrically and 3-dimensionally in patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion who underwent treatments involving the extraction of 4 first premolars with conventional fixed appliances (FAs) vs clear aligners (CAs).
Methods: A total of 320 maxillary incisors from 80 patients were assessed and divided into 2 groups (FAs and CAs), each possessing similar baseline characteristics. Pretreatment and posttreatment cone-beam computed tomography scans were used to analyze linear and volumetric orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption, alveolar bone thickness (ABT), alveolar bone height (ABH), as well as anteroposterior and vertical movements of maxillary incisors.
Influence of Conservative or Invasive Treatments on the Occurrence of Sequelae in Permanent Successors After Injuries in the Support Tissues of Incisors Deciduous Teeth: A Cohort Study.

Departament of Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics, School of Dentistry, Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro-UFRJ, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Objective: To assess the influence of conservative or invasive treatments on the appearance of sequelae in permanent successor teeth (SPT) after injuries in the support tissues of anterior deciduous teeth (ISTDT).
Methods: This cohort study accompanied 52 children with ISTDT up to the complete eruption of the permanent successor to investigate the presence or not of SPT. Trauma was clinically evaluated according to the International Association for Dental Traumatology.
Assessing Caries Removal Efficacy and Pain Perception in Children, Using Smart Bur Versus Carbide Bur: A Randomized Clinical Study.
Med Sci Monit

Department of Preventive Dental Sciences, College of Dentistry, Jazan University, Jazan, Saudi Arabia.
BACKGROUND Dental caries removal is conventionally done using carbide burs, but non-metallic polymer burs have recently been developed with the aim of being more selective and causing less pain. The objective of the study is to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of caries removal, time taken, and patient compliance during restorations using smart bur and carbide burs in pediatric patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS A clinical study was designed and conducted at the Pedodontics Outpatient Department, with a focus on 40 children between 6 and 12 years old, who were split into 2 groups consisting of 20 children each: group 1, using a carbide conventional rotary bur, and group 2, using a smart bur.

This retrospective longitudinal outcome study comparing orthodontic extraction modalities, including extraction of maxillary first or second molars, aimed to compare the three-dimensional tooth movement of maxillary canines (C), premolars (P1, P2), and molars (M1, M2) in Class II division 1 malocclusion treatment with fixed appliances. A sample of 98 patients (mean age 13.20 ± 1.
