Diagnosis and conservative treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion with anterior crossbite and asymmetric maxillary crowding
Publication date: April 2016 Source:American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Volume 149, Issue 4 Author(s): Linda L.Y. Tseng, Chris H. Chang, W. Eugene Roberts A man, aged 28 years 9 months, came for an orthodontic consultation for a skeletal Class III malocclusion (ANB angle, ?3°) with a modest asymmetric Class II and Class III molar relationship, complicated by an anterior crossbite, a deepbite, and 12 mm of asymmetric maxillary crowding. Despite the severity of the malocclusion (Discrepancy Index, 37), the patient desired noninvasive camouflage treatment. The 3-Ring diagnosis showed that treatment without extractions or orthognathic surgery was a viable approach. Arch length analysis indicated that differential interproximal enamel reduction could resolv…

Objective vs subjective analyses of arch form and preformed archwire selection
Conclusions The objective method improved wire adaptation to the clinical bracket points. Agreement among orthodontists regarding wire selection will improve significantly when they are trained to use the software. (Source: American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics)

Comparison and reproducibility of 2 regions of reference for maxillary regional registration with cone-beam computed tomography
Conclusions The 2 regions of regional maxillary registration showed similar results and adequate intraobserver and interobserver reproducibility values. (Source: American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics)

BoneCeramic graft regenerates alveolar defects but slows orthodontic tooth movement with less root resorption
Conclusions BoneCeramic has better osteoconductive potential and induces less root resorption compared with Bio-Oss grafting and naturally recovered extraction sites. (Source: American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics)

Researchers analyze potentially hazardous dental drill debris under composite fillings
While dental drills, or burs, are used extensively in dentistry to mechanically prepare tooth structures for fillings, little is known about the bur debris left behind in the teeth and whether it…

Racial disparities in orthodontic service use for Medicaid-enrolled children: An evaluation of the Washington Medicaid program
Conclusions In 2012, nonwhite children in the Washington Medicaid program were significantly more likely to use orthodontic care than were white children. The Washington Medicaid program demonstrates a potential model for addressing racial disparities in orthodontic service use. Future research should identify mechanisms underlying these findings and continue to monitor orthodontic service use for minority children in Medicaid.

Utility of panoramic radiography for identification of the pubertal growth period
Conclusions An association exists between the dental mineralization stages and the periods of the PGS, especially for second molars. Panoramic radiographs can be used as the first diagnostic tool to estimate the pubertal growth period. (Source: American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics)

Facial surface morphology predicts variation in internal skeletal shape
Conclusions Surface morphology is a reliable source of proxy data for the characterization of skeletal shape variation and thus is particularly valuable in research designs where reducing potential long-term risks associated with radiologic imaging methods is warranted. We propose that longitudinal surface morphology from early childhood through late adolescence can be a valuable source of data that will facilitate the development of personalized craniodental and treatment plans and reduce exposure levels to as low as reasonably achievable.
