Long-term three-dimensional condylar remodeling during presurgical orthodontics and after orthognathic surgery of mandibular retrognathia with high mandibular plane angle.

Objectives: Patients with high mandibular plane facial morphology are the most dominant facial type who experience TMJ abnormalities with resultant condylar resorption, affecting the orthodontic and orthognathic treatment outcomes. The study aimed to quantitatively assess the three-dimensional condylar remodeling during the presurgical orthodontics and after orthognathic surgery of the retrognathic mandible with a high mandibular plane angle. The study also investigated the correlation between the resultant remodeling based on the hypothesis that condylar resorption following orthognathic surgery is a part of a progressive presurgical resorption process.

An overview on the veracity of intraoral digital scanning system and utilization of iTero scanner for analyzing orthodontic study models both and .

In the domain of orthodontics, plaster models are contemplated as one of the important tools for diagnosis and treatment planning. In Dentistry, technological advancement has developed in the section of diagnostic devices, for example, the utilization of a 3D intraoral scanner, which can convert plaster models into digital models. With in-office utilization of this system, orthodontists can more meticulously and precisely construct custom braces, clear aligners, and orthodontic appliances.

A Review on Comparison of Tooth Size Discrepancies among Angle's Class I, II, and III Malocclusion: Is There a Significance?

Aim: The contemporary article aims to review and compare various literatures concerning different conclusions regarding the correlation between tooth size discrepancy (TSD) and Angle's malocclusion groups.

Background: Acquiring the ideal occlusion plays one of the major roles while designing the treatment plan for an orthodontic patient, any alterations in the individual tooth sizes are called TSD and will hinder this prime requirement. By determining the correct tooth size ratio, it further helps in acquiring the accurate interdigitation, balanced occlusion, and also predicting the orthodontic treatment results.
