Relationship between malocclusion, orthodontic treatment, and tooth wear.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Although the association between orthodontic treatment and dental health has been studied previously, no studies have hitherto investigated whether the need for, or the receipt of, orthodontic treatment leads to differences in tooth ... Read more...

Three-dimensional orthodontic force measurements.

29 Sep 2009 INTRODUCTION: Until recently, much of the orthodontic biomechanics literature was restricted to 2-dimensional experimental studies and, more recently, to assumption-based 3-dimensional computer modeling. There is little evidence in the literature ... Read more...

Comparison of bipartite versus tripartite osteotomy for maxillary transversal expansion using 3-dimensional preoperative and postexpansion computed tomography data.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: To evaluate tripartite paramedian versus bipartite median osteotomy in surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion. Tripartite osteotomy was performed between the lateral incisors and canines at the former premaxillary junction to avoid ... Read more...
