Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate clinically, radiographically, and histologically orthodontic tooth movement into bone regenerate after mandibular distraction osteogenesis to elucidate the optimal timing for initiating tooth movement.
Methods: The study sample consisted of 9 male mongrel dogs. An average edentulous space of 9 mm was created by using a custom-made bone-borne distractor fixed on the mandibular corpus of each dog. The dogs were equally divided into 3 groups, and tooth movement began into the distraction gap after 1, 3, or 6 weeks of consolidation. The rate and type of tooth movement as well as the adverse tissue reactions (root resorption and crestal bone loss) were evaluated.
Results: Radiographic and histologic analyses showed analogous adverse tissue reactions in association with early tooth movement into the regenerate bone. Furthermore, the rate and type of tooth movement were variable in the 3 groups.
Conclusions: Early tooth movement into the distraction regenerate is not recommended because it could result in adverse tissue reactions. Moreover, radiographic examination of the distraction regenerate is advisable and could be used as a guide before starting tooth movement.

Background: Proper torque control is crucial to the outcome of orthodontic treatment. This study aimed to employ finite element analysis to compare the torque capabilities of a novel spherical self-ligating bracket with a lock-hook system against those of commonly used passive self-ligating and conventional bracket systems, as well as to reveal the biomechanical changes in the periodontal ligament (PDL) during torque expression.
Methods: A maxillary right central incisor, along with its PDL and alveolar bone, were modeled.

Introduction: This randomized clinical trial compared arch dimensional changes, dentoskeletal changes, and the rate of overbite correction in deep bite adults treated with fixed appliances and either maxillary incisor bite turbos (IBT) or canine bite turbos (CBT).
Materials And Methods: Forty-six deep bite subjects treated with fixed appliances were randomized into IBT (n = 23) and CBT (n = 23) groups. Changes in intercanine width (ICW), arch height (AH), and Little's Irregularity Index (LII) were analyzed from before treatment (T) to 3 months after aligning with 0.

Under current minimally invasive treatment regimes, minor tooth preparation and thinner biomimetic ceramic restoration are used to preserve the restored tooth's vitality, aesthetics, and function. New computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) ceramic-like material are now available. To guarantee longevity, a dental clinician must know these newly launched product's mechanical strength compared to the relatively brittle glass-matrix ceramic.

Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) depends on periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs), which sense biomechanical stimuli and initiate alveolar bone remodeling. Light (optimal) forces accelerate OTM, whereas heavy forces decelerate it. However, the mechanisms by which PDLCs sense biomechanical stimuli and affect osteoclastic activities under different mechanical forces (MFs) remain unclear.
