Effects of tongue tamers and customized bonded spurs as an early treatment of anterior open bite: a randomized clinical study.

BMC Oral Health

January 2025

Department of Pediatric Dentistry, Oral Health, and Preventive Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, Tanta University, Tanta, 31527, Egypt.

Background: Anterior open bite is a challenging condition for pediatric dentists and orthodontists as it causes aesthetic, speech, feeding, and psychological problems; this emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and interception of this malocclusion.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of prefabricated metal-bonded tongue tamers and customized bonded spurs in the early treatment of anterior open bite.

Materials And Methods: A sample of seventy-five children aged 7-9 years were assigned into three groups in which anterior open bite was treated using tongue tamers (group-I), customized composite bonded spurs(group-II), and conventional fixed palatal cribs (group-III).

Background: We examined the factors associated with low tongue pressure to clarify its association with physical abnormalities in adolescent and young adult women.

Methods: This study enrolled 92 women aged 10-20 years. Following the collection of anthropometric data, measurements were performed, including grip strength, maximum occlusal force, maximum tongue pressure, and masticatory performance.

Purpose: Restoring ferrule-lacking, noncircular canal endodontically treated teeth (ETT) poses challenges owing to the increased susceptibility to root fracture and post dislodgement. We aimed to evaluate the influence of different post and core materials on the stress distribution and maximum Von Mises stress in ETT.

Methods: Four three-dimensional models were generated using different customized post and core materials: gold alloy, resin nanoceramic, polyetheretherketone (PEEK), and polyetherketoneketone (PEKK).

December 2024

Department of Developmental Biology, Division of Orthodontics, Harvard School of Dental Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

Background: The demand for discreet and low-compliance appliances has driven innovation in orthodontics, particularly with technological advances in artificial intelligence, robotics, and CAD/CAM technology. The evolution of Programmed Non-Sliding Mechanics for precise, automated tooth movement is the latest innovation.

Aim: In this article, we aimed to demonstrate the application of a novel orthodontic lingual appliance, The Gen 2 InBrace system (InBrace, Irvine, CA), in the orthodontic-restorative treatment of an adult patient with anterior tooth-size discrepancies, anterior openbite, and incisor proclination.

Occlusal outcome of orthodontic treatment: a systematic review with meta-analyses of randomized trials.

Eur J Orthod

December 2024

Department of Orthodontics, Institute of Clinical Dentistry, Faculty of Dentistry, University of Oslo, P.O. Box 1072 Blindern, N-0316 Oslo, Norway.

Background: Several appliances or treatment protocols are marketed to either patients or orthodontists as being associated with improved orthodontic outcomes. However, clinical decision-making should be based on robust scientific evidence and not marketing claims or anecdotal evidence.

Objective: To identify appliances/protocols being associated with improved outcomes of fixed appliance treatment.
