Objective: This study proposes a cephalometric method to determine an individual radius of the curve of Spee in cases of occlusal prosthetic rehabilitation.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 469 lateral cephalograms. Statistical analysis was performed. Correlations were computed using simple regression, Z tests, paired -tests, and one-way repeated measures ANOVA.
Results: Regression calculations supported a link between the radius of the curve of Spee and occlusal plane inclination, Balkwill's angle, mandibular parameters (MP), with MP = corpus - ramus + Bonwill height. Based on MP, data that are accessible even in the absence of teeth, a regression formula can be proposed to provide an individualized estimation of the radius of the Spee curve (RCS): RCS = 0.624 * MP + 26.583.
Conclusion: This study proposes an individualized estimation of the RCS from only skeletal mandibular parameters: the length of the ramus, length of the corpus, and the Bonwill height.

Isolated bilateral molariform mandibular second premolars; a case report.

Background: Molariform second premolar is a rare dental anomaly where the second premolar resembles a molar in size and shape. This condition is often linked to macrodontia, a rare enlargement of teeth that disrupts dental proportions and can manifest in isolated, relative, or generalized forms. Although mandibular second premolars are more prone to morphological variability, the occurrence of bilateral molariform premolars, induced by a unique form of gemination, is exceptionally uncommon and infrequently documented, thus making this case clinically significant.

Background: Investigating the safe range of orthodontic tooth movement is essential for maintaining oral and maxillofacial stability post-treatment. Although clear aligners rely on pre-treatment digital models, their effect on periodontal hard tissues remains uncertain. By integrating CBCT-derived cervical and root data with crown data from digital intraoral scans, a three-dimensional (3D) fusion model may enhance precision and safety.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the effect of the mandibular second molars on the stress distribution and initial displacements during leveling the curve of Spee using different archwire thicknesses and materials by means of finite element analysis.
Methods: After construction of all anatomic structures, including the mandibular alveolar bone, periodontal ligament, and dentition, 0.022-in slot brackets and 0.
Objectives: To compare the biomechanics of labial and lingual fixed orthodontic treatment options for a simulated curve of Spee malocclusion.
Materials And Methods: An in vitro electromechanical orthodontic simulator was used to measure the three-dimensional forces and moments on each tooth of a mandibular arch. Labial and lingual brackets, both with 0.
Objectives: To compare the effect between three different reverse curve of Spee (RCOS) archwires: 0.016 × 0.022-inch Nickel-Titanium and 0.
