The aim of the study was to investigate orthodontic treatment need and the outcome of orthodontic treatment in 15-, and 20-year-olds in Jönköping, Sweden, with special reference to residual treatment need. An offer to participate in a clinical investigation was extended to random samples of 130 15-year-olds and 130 20-year-olds. Ninety-six of the 15-year-olds (73.3%; 45 boys and 51 girls) and 82 of the 20-year-olds (62.6%; 47 males and 35 females) accepted and presented for examination The participants filled in a questionnaire and impressions were taken for study models, which were graded according to the ICON index. In all, 39 (40.6%) of the 15-year-olds and 38 (46.3%) of the 20-year-olds had undergone or were currently undergoing orthodontic treatment. Ninety-one per cent of the 15-year-olds and 84% of the 20-year-olds considered that the orthodontic treatment goals had been fully or almost fully attained. Two of the 15-year-olds and two of the 20-year-olds currently wanted orthodontic treatment. This indicates a residual treatment demand of about 2%.

With the advancing world, where the medical and dental fields are progressing every day toward better and finer diagnosis and treatment modalities to enhance and provide better standards of life, it becomes important for medical and dental professionals to consider the environment and apply environmental sustainability measures moving towards a better future. One such practice is green dentistry, where "reduce, reuse, rethink, and recycle" are being implemented and, similarly, "eco-friendly" dentistry, which recommends the use of "ask, assess, advice, and assist." With the same concept of keeping in the limelight, green orthodontics gives us an idea of reducing, reusing, rethinking, and recycling materials and products to bring about a more sustainable and better future.

Orthodontic root resorption (ORR) is a common yet significant complication of orthodontic treatment, largely driven by interactions between periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) and M1 macrophages. Despite the clinical relevance of ORR, the role of mechanosensitive ion channels in PDLC-mediated ORR and the underlying mechanisms regulating inflammatory cell recruitment remain poorly understood. Here, we identified PIEZO1 as a critical mechanosensitive ion channel that modulates monocyte recruitment and ORR.

Miniscrews are used in orthodontic treatment and can be applied immediately after implantation, making their initial stability crucial. However, clinical reports show that the success rate is not 100%, and many researchers have tried to identify the factors influencing success and optimize designs. A review of the literature reveals that studies on the same geometric parameter of miniscrews using different indicators and different brand samples have led to conflicting results.

Advancements in implant design, surface characteristics, and surgical protocols have made implant restorations safe and highly predictable procedures. Bone metabolism plays a central role in the success of implant therapy. Diabetes mellitus is a significant disease impacting bone metabolism, particularly during the initial stages of osseointegration and in long-term survival.

This study determined the influence of surface treatment and protracted ageing on the shear bond strength (SBS) of orthodontic brackets bonded to CADCAM (milled) and 3D-printed polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) provisional crowns (PCs). Eighty disc-shaped specimens [forty milled (CopraTemp WhitePeaks) [group (Gp) M] and forty printed (Asiga DentaTooth) (Gp P)] were divided into eight subgroups (Gp) based on surface treatment [no treatment (control) (Gp MC and Gp PC), coarse diamond (Gp MCD and Gp PCD), fine diamond (Gp MFD, and GP PFD) and sandblast (Gp MSB and Gp PSB)]. Orthodontic brackets were bonded (Assure Plus, Transbond XT), thermocycled (2200 cycles), and tested for SBS and failure (Adhesive Remnant Index) (ARI).
