Orthodontics and cone beam computed tomography technology have evolved tremendously in the last 10 years. The technology has evolved from a predominantly diagnostic entity to a true clinical and translational product. One can believe that this technology is here to stay and it has a real role to revolutionize the efficiency and effectiveness of orthodontic care. This article discusses the current advancements and use of cone beam computed tomography.

Background: Although there are many works analyzing the clinical behavior of immediate loading of implants inserted by guided surgery, the literature referring specifically to elderly patients is scarce. The aim of this investigation is to present the clinical outcomes of immediate loading of implants inserted by guided surgery in geriatric patients with edentulous maxilla.
Material And Methods: The clinical data of 20 elderly patients with edentulous jaws are analyzed retrospectively.

Background: The placement of Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs) in the mandibular buccal shelf area is a common option for distalizing the lower arch. Therefore, the study of bone thickness and depth in this area is mandatory before planning TAD insertion. The aim of this study was to quantify the width and depth of the mandibular buccal shelf structure and examine its associations with sex, age, skeletal class and vertical pattern.

This study aimed to evaluate changes of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) following maxillomandibular advancement surgery (MMA), long-term postoperative skeletal relapse, and progressive condylar resorption (PCR) development. Preoperative and postoperative cone beam computed tomography(2 weeks, 5 years) of 50 patients (33 female, 17 male; mean age 25.6 years) were assessed three-dimensionally.

This study was carried out to compare the stability of Le Fort I maxillary advancement between the surgery-first approach (SFA) and the orthodontics-first approach (OFA), and to evaluate the impact of the quality of postoperative occlusion on maxillary stability. In total, 26 patients (13 SFA and 13 OFA) were included in this study. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans taken at T0 (1 week before surgery), T1 (1 week after surgery), and T2 (6 months after surgery) were used for the assessment of maxillary stability.

Article Synopsis
- The dual cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) method is the standard approach for planning implant treatments in patients without teeth, but it is complicated and slow for real-time surgery.
- A new technique introduced in the article simplifies this process by using a single CBCT scan registration method.
- This new method incorporates information from diagnostic dentures into real-time navigation, making the implant planning more efficient.
