Conclusions Site-specific differences between jaw and long bones can be explained by the differences in gene expression patterns. Our results suggest that bone cell-derived cells maintain the genetic characteristics of their embryological origin. Clinical relevance This study revealed fundamental differences in gene expression between the mandibular and iliac bone in humans. These differences could be important for understanding jaw bone-specific development of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw. (Source: Clinical Oral Investigations)

Conclusions The studied treatment protocol appears ideal for successful results and minimum treatment time. Space creation followed by surgical removal of any obstruction together with orthodontic traction initiation produces excellent results, while waiting for spontaneous eruption is indicated only in cases of favourable patient’s age and tooth location. Treatment initiation with operation in the absence of the required eruption space is not recommended, whereas in unfavourable cases obstruction removal without simultaneous orthodontic traction increases dramatically the total treatment time and requires an unnecessary second operation for traction.
