AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Objective: Orthodontic treatment plays a crucial role in achieving optimal dental esthetics and functional occlusion. However, when periodontally compromised patients are involved, additional precautions and considerations are critical. This article aims to provide up-to-date recommendations for the orthodontic treatment of periodontally compromised patients.
Clinical Considerations: Comprehensive diagnosis of the patient's periodontal status, inherent malocclusion, and secondary malocclusion resulting from periodontal disease are essential for achieving optimal esthetics and functional occlusion. This can be facilitated through the use of a simplified checklist. Prior to orthodontic treatment, pre-existing periodontal diseases should be managed. Light and controlled forces should be used to minimize the risk of adverse effects on the periodontium, and any potential traumatic occlusion during tooth movement should be minimized. Furthermore, careful anchorage management is required, and proper application of temporary anchorage devices can significantly expand the scope of orthodontic treatment. Finally, treatment results are maintained by ongoing supportive periodontal therapy even during the retention period.
Conclusions: This article presents clinical cases demonstrating the importance of accurate diagnosis in orthodontics and periodontics and the positive impact of orthodontic treatment on patients with pre-existing periodontal diseases.
Clinical Significance: An up-to-date orthodontic treatment protocol for periodontally compromised patients is presented.

Jaw Growth and Development in Class II Division I Malocclusion Children Using the Myobrace® Muscle Function Appliance.
Ann Ital Chir

Department of Orthodontics, Dental Disease Prevention and Treatment Institute of Huangpu District, 200002 Shanghai, China.
Aim: Class II Division I malocclusion is common in pediatric orthodontics, and is often associated with malocclusion and poor muscle functionality. However, research on post-treatment changes in maxillomandibular dimensions, excluding normal development influences, is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of Myobrace® appliance and targeted muscle functional training on maxillomandibular dimensions in children with Class II Division I malocclusion, compared to directed oral muscle training alone.

Objective Permanent teeth roots undergo resorption under pathologic conditions such as trauma, orthodontic treatment, pulpal infections, periodontitis, and periodontal therapy. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of external root resorption (ERR) in patients with periodontitis as seen in orthopantomography (OPGs). Methodology This single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional radiographic study was conducted from January 2021 to December 2022, including 656 orthopantomographs (OPGs) from patients with periodontitis.

Statement Of Problem: Esthetic dental features, especially the maxillary anterior teeth, significantly influence perceived attractiveness. Gingival recessions can negatively affect smile esthetics, particularly when asymmetrical.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the perception of dentists and non-professionals regarding subtle variations in the apically displaced soft tissue surrounding a lateral or central incisor.
Is Teledentistry as Effective as Clinical Dental Diagnosis in Pediatric Patients?

Background: Teledentistry integrates telecommunications with dental practice, facilitating the exchange of clinical information and images for remote dental consultation and treatment planning. This approach enables dental care access across long distances, addressing the need for flexible healthcare solutions.
Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of teledentistry compared to clinical in-person dental diagnosis in pediatric patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
