Introduction: Medical field is developing very rapidly and is becoming more specialized. Orthodontics is of no exception. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the necessity of establishment of surgical orthodontic fellowship program for orthodontists in order to provide them with better insight.
Materials And Methods: A 10 multiple choice question survey was taken from 270 orthodontists who participated in the European Orthodontic Society Congress in Istanbul, 2011. The results were tabulated and analyzed.
Results: 52% of the respondents believed that the knowledge of treatment of orthognathic surgery patients can be significantly improved by adding a fellowship of orthognathic surgery after the residency program.
Conclusion: Adding such program can be very constructive and will give better insight to orthodontists in regards to treatment of orthognathic patients.

Background: The repeated airway obstructions in the common disorder Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) cause health risks. Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), the standard treatment, faces adherence challenges. Mandibular Advancement Devices (MADs) have been used successfully for mild to moderate OSA, as a good alternative for these patients.

Hypoplasia of the upper jaw to one degree or another inevitably occurs in patients with cleft lip and palate. The most difficult task is to fix skeletal deformity of the upper jaw, especially the discrepancy between its transversal dimensions due to the high risks of recurrence after treatment. One of the key stages of rehabilitation of this group of patients is orthodontics and surgical treatment aimed at eliminating functional and aesthetic problems of the dental system.

Background: The objective of the in vitro study was to evaluate the impact of two adhesive removal techniques on the surface roughness of the human enamel surface using laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM).
Methods: Forty healthy first upper molar teeth were included in this experiment (20 teeth per each group). T0 measurement of surface roughness parameter of the teeth were conducted using LSCM.

Objectives: To longitudinally follow up a cohort of patients with autotransplanted teeth, assessing how the timing of starting orthodontic treatment impacts root length.
Materials And Methods: Patients under 18 with at least one open-apex autotransplanted premolar (AP) replaced to a central incisor position were included. Root/crown ratio (RCR) was calculated on periapical radiographs taken at intervals of 3-6 months after transplantation.
