Background: Microesthetics in orthodontics, which focuses on subtly and precisely enhancing a patient's smile's esthetics, has seen a rise in popularity in recent years. The objective of this systematic study was to assess our present understanding of orthodontic microesthetics.
Methods: A thorough search was done using the terms "microesthetics in orthodontics," "aesthetic orthodontics," "orthodontic aesthetics," and "orthodontic smile design" across different databases. Articles published between 2011 and 2022 were considered for selection in this review.
Results: Five studies were selected for the review. The meta-analysis found a statistically significant and clinically relevant improvement in microesthetic parameters due to orthodontic treatment. The odds ratio estimate was 0.32 (95% confidence interval (95% CI): 0.28 to 0.37), suggesting a noticeable effect of orthodontic treatment on microesthetic parameters. The forest plot also showed an overall risk ratio of 0.57 (95% CI: 0.53 to 0.61) and a risk difference of -0.28 (95% CI: -0.31 to -0.24) for noticeable versus negligible effects of orthodontic treatment on microesthetic parameter in patients. The heterogeneity was significant among the studies, with a Chi-square value of 15.34 ( = 0.004) and 14.79 ( = 0.005) for the odds ratio and risk difference, respectively, indicating a moderate level of heterogeneity.
Conclusion: The results of this study's review and meta-analysis point to a statistically significant and clinically meaningful difference in the microesthetic parameters between individuals who received orthodontic treatment and those who did not. The heterogeneity statistics, however, indicates significant variation between research studies.
Registration: This review protocol was registered on the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; registration number: CRD42022397219).

A Deep Learning Framework for Automated Classification and Archiving of Orthodontic Diagnostic Documents.

Background Orthodontic diagnostic workflows often rely on manual classification and archiving of large volumes of patient images, a process that is both time-consuming and prone to errors such as mislabeling and incomplete documentation. These challenges can compromise treatment accuracy and overall patient care. To address these issues, we propose an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven deep learning framework based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to automate the classification and archiving of orthodontic diagnostic images.

Objective: The orthodontic mini-implant (OMI) failure often occurs due to the accumulation of peri-implantitis bacteria surrounding it, which results in a stable, resistant form of absolute skeletal anchorage during orthodontic treatment. Administering doxycycline may be the solution, but long-term side effects result in antibiotic resistance. Roselle flowers (Hibiscus sabdariffa) possess beneficial active phytochemical substances, which may have potential as an OMI peri-implantitis alternative therapy.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the acceptance of moderate sedation (MS) as a behavior guidance technique (BGT) method among Saudi parents, and also assess their acceptance of other BGTs, including parental separation, papoose board (PB), and nitrous oxide (NO), used in conjunction with MS.
Patients And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Dental University Hospital, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It involved Saudi parents of children aged 3-5 years undergoing dental treatment with MS, alongside additional BGTs such as parental separation, PB, and NO.

Oral and maxillofacial diagnostic imaging is of paramount importance in dental clinical diagnosis, treatment planning, and follow-up procedures. Periapical radiographic examination and numerous panoramic systems are used in routine clinical dental practice. Cone beam CT is widely used and currently the method of choice in oral and maxillofacial implantology, endodontics, maxillofacial surgery, periodontics, degenerative temporomandibular joint disease, orthodontics, airway studies, sleep disorders, and forensic dentistry.

Objective: This case report demonstrates the orthodontic treatment to correct a severe scissor bite and occlusal disharmony in a 26-year-old female patient, including the use of temporary anchorage devices (TADs) and fixed orthodontic appliances.
Clinical Considerations: Severe scissor bite is associated with vertical problems, such as molar extrusion. For orthodontic treatment, interradicular TADs were used to intrude the extruded molars, control the inclination of molars, correct dental midline, and improve dental relationships.
