This clinical pearl describes an alternative technique to aid effective ligation of rotated teeth during the aligning stage of fixed appliance treatment. This technique has the potential to improve patient experience and confidence, by reducing the risk of trauma and discomfort and treatment efficiency, by ensuring complete ligation of even severely rotated teeth.

Superior effect of mini-implant anchorage in the treatment of skeletal class II malocclusion.
J Orthod Sci
November 2024
Department of Orthodontics and Pedodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Van Lang University, Binh Thanh District, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of mini-implant (MI) anchorage versus conventional anchorage for the treatment of skeletal class II malocclusion.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted on 64 patients with skeletal class II malocclusion. The patients were divided into two groups: 1) 32 patients underwent conventional anchorage, and 2) 32 patients underwent MI anchorage.

Department of Orthodontics, Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences, Pondicherry, India.
Background/objective: Resolution of crowding remains a chief concern for patients seeking orthodontic treatment. The choice of the initial aligning archwire is crucial for achieving treatment success. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwires have been the first choice since their introduction.

Prosthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong SAR.
Purpose: Artificial intelligence (AI) may be used to learn and predict the maxillomandibular relationship, particularly when the number of occluding teeth pairs is insufficient. This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of training a new two-stage coarse-to-fine teeth alignment pipeline AI system in predicting maxillomandibular relationships based on the occlusal morphology of antagonistic teeth.
Methods: Maxillary and mandibular stone casts were collected and scanned at the maximal intercuspal position (MIP).
Effect of porcine collagen matrix versus rotated pedicle palatal connective tissue flap on the soft-tissue closure after the immediate posterior implantation: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
BMJ Open

Shanghai Key Laboratory of Craniomaxillofacial Development and Diseases, Fudan University, Shanghai, China
Introduction: Soft-tissue defect is commonly seen in immediate maxillary posterior implantation because of tooth extraction wound and tension from bone graft. Bone graft materials exposure has a significant detrimental influence on bone augmentation. However, previous studies lack sufficient evidence to guide wound closure after immediate posterior implantation.

Objective: To investigate the effect of deferred timing of therapeutic extraction on the rate of space closure during en masse anterior retraction.
Methods: Twenty-six patients (aged 16-24 years) with bimaxillary protrusion, crowding <3 mm, requiring bilateral extraction of four first premolars were recruited. Permuted block randomization was done.
