Introduction: The purpose of this study was to clinically evaluate miniscrew implant-supported maxillary canine retraction with corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics.
Methods: The sample consisted of 13 adult patients (5 men, 8 women; mean age, 19 years) exhibiting Class II Division 1 malocclusion with increased overjet requiring the therapeutic extraction of the maxillary first premolars, with subsequent retraction of the maxillary canines. Corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics was randomly assigned to 1 side of the maxillary arch at the canine-premolar region, and the other side served as the control. By using miniscrews as anchorage, canine retraction was initiated via closed nickel-titanium coil springs applying 150 g of force per side. The following variables were examined over a 4-month follow-up period: rate of tooth movement, molar anchorage loss, plaque index, gingival index, probing depth, attachment loss, and gingival recession.
Results: The average daily rate of canine retraction was significantly higher on the corticotomy than the control side by 2 times during the first 2 months after the corticotomy surgery. This rate of tooth movement declined to only 1.6 times higher in the third month and 1.06 times higher by the end of the fourth month. No molar anchorage loss occurred during canine retraction on either the operated or the nonoperated side. There was no statistically significant difference between preoperative and postoperative measurements of plaque index, probing depth, attachment loss, and gingival recession.
Conclusions: Corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics can be a feasible treatment modality for adults seeking orthodontic treatment with reduced treatment times.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze how different archwire sizes and lever arm lengths affect tooth movement during en-masse retraction in lingual orthodontics.
- Different archwires with specific dimensions and extra torques were tested, and various lever arm lengths were used to exert a consistent force of 1.5N.
- Results showed that thicker archwires and longer lever arms improved the control and effectiveness of moving anterior teeth while also influencing the positioning of posterior teeth.
Objective: To compare the space closure, root resorption and canine angulation during en-masse retraction of the labial segment after extraction of first premolars with or without interseptal bone reduction distal to the maxillary canines.
Design: A single-centre, parallel randomised control trial included 16 participants with a mean age of 21.5 years.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the development of a total elbow replacement (TER) technique in swine and report the outcome of TER in a Kunekune sow (61 kg) with severe elbow osteoarthritis.
Methods: The technique was developed by operating on three pig cadavers (Yorkshire 40-50 kg). The TATE Elbow implant fit was confirmed with modeling to the patient's computed tomography imaging.
