Analyzing longitudinal orthodontic data. Part 1: Multilevel linear and curvilinear models
Orthodontic research often involves collection of data on a cohort of subjects with longitudinal follow-up. For example, the study of the growth of facial profiles among boys and girls usually uses data from repeated tracings of cephalometric landmarks across childhood and adolescence. Analysis of longitudinal data is a challenging task and usually requires advanced statistical methods that might not be familiar to most orthodontic researchers. After the research questions are carefully formulated, appropriate methods are then selected according to the properties of the data, such as the number of repeated measurements for each subject, the time intervals between measurements, and the shape of the growth curves.

You made my heart stop
Okay, you are employed as an associate in any type of group practice you want to envision. One day, you are covering the office because the owner/orthodontist is away, and you hear a commotion in the reception area. When you go to see what’s happening, you find that Mr Eclair, the father of a patient in the office, is lying on the floor with his eyes open; he is breathing heavily, and has a pale face and a faint pulse. You immediately tell the front desk to call 911 and ask whether there is an emergency kit in the office and, if so, to bring it out; you also ask the others in the reception area whether anyone there has medical training. At that point, an assistant brings the office emergency kit and the automated external defibrillator (AED). (Source: American Journal of Orthodontics and D…
