Article Synopsis
  • This study reviews the current applications, limitations, and challenges of using polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in stomatology, highlighting its importance in various dental procedures.
  • Numerous studies underscore PEEK's beneficial properties, such as biocompatibility and fracture resistance, and its use in many dental applications, including implants and orthodontic devices.
  • Despite its potential, most evidence is based on short-term studies, indicating a need for more long-term clinical research to fully support PEEK's effectiveness in dentistry.

Background: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of clear aligners and removable inclined planes (RIP) in management of anterior crossbite in late mixed dentition patients using a 3D digital model.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four patients with functional anterior crossbite, aged 8 to 12 years old, were randomly assigned to two parallel groups: the clear aligner (CA) group with a mean age of 10.74 ± 1.

Skeletal Class III malocclusion (Cl III) presents a significant orthodontic challenge, particularly in growing patients, requiring interceptive treatment to achieve effective functional and aesthetic correction. This review aims to compare various orthopedic devices and therapeutic protocols used in Cl III correction, identifying the most effective options in an interceptive context. We searched the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases for studies published between 1 January 2003, and 19 July 2023.

Introduction: Malocclusion, a common dental issue in children, necessitates early intervention to mitigate future orthodontic challenges. Predictive methodologies like Tanaka and Johnston analysis (TJA) and Boston University approach (BUA) aid in mixed and primary dentition analysis for optimal treatment planning. This study aimed to compare TJA and BUA in predicting the mesiodistal width of unerupted permanent canines and premolars and assess gender-based variations.

Aim: Early identification and management of developing malocclusion can reduce or eliminate the need for future complicated treatment procedures. The present study was undertaken to assess early orthodontic treatment needs in 6- and 9-year-old children using the index for preventive and interceptive orthodontic treatment need (IPION) in Pune, India.

Materials And Methods: A total of 360 children reporting to the Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry were evaluated clinically and on their respective dental casts according to the IPION requirement.
