(2019-09-26)Background: Pain relief drugs are used and misused widely and may theoretically affect the events leading to orthodontic tooth movement. Objective: To systematically investigate and appraise the quality of the ... -
Does maxillary sinus proximity affect molar root resorption during distalization using Invisalign? a CBCT study
(2023)Background: This study aimed to assess the correlation between maxillary sinus proximity to root apices of maxillary molars and root resorption during molar distalization using clear aligner therapy (CAT). Materials ... -
Does medication administration affect the rate of orthodontic tooth movement and root resorption development in humans? A systematic review
(2019)Background: Recently, the potential impact of different medications on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement and the associated root resorption has been systematically reviewed in animal studies and various effects have ... -
Does patient–surgeon sex discordance impact adverse events following primary total hip arthroplasty?
(2023)Introduction: The Editors’ Prespective: The question, “does patient–surgeon sex discordance impact adverse events following primary total hip arthroplasty?” is the topic of an article recently published in Acta Orthopaedica ... -
Does the Addition of a Gastroepiploic Artery to Bilateral Internal Thoracic Artery Improve Survival?
(2021)Abstract: It is unclear whether the additional conduit to supplement bilateral internal thoracic arteries (BITA) influences the patient outcome in coronary surgery. This retrospective study compared long-term survival of ... -
Does the rate of orthodontic tooth movement change during pregnancy and lactation? A systematic review of the evidence from animal studies
(2020)Background: The changes in bone homeostasis observed during pregnancy and lactation could result in alterations in the rate of orthodontic tooth movement, but research in human subjects presents significant ethical and ... -
Does the rate of orthodontic tooth movement change during the estrus cycle? A systematic review based on animal studies
(2021)Background: As the fuctuation of sex hormone levels in menstruating women results in periodical efects in bone metabolism, understanding the implications for tooth movement could be of beneft to the orthodontist. This ... -
Does the use of CBCT prior to mandibular third molar surgery impact treatment planning?
(2020)Purpose: To investigate whether cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) alters the treatment decision for impacted third molar surgery (M3M) when the third molars demonstrate proximity to the inferior alveolar canal (IAC) ... -
Does the Use of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Before Mandibular Third Molar Surgery Impact Treatment Planning?
(2020)Purpose: We aimed to investigate whether cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) alters the treatment decision for impacted mandibular third molar (M3M) surgery when the third molars show proximity to the inferior alveolar ... -
Dorsal root ganglion stimulation: a new target for autonomic neuromodulation?
(2021)Abstract: Dysautonomias are typifed by aberrant output of either the sympathetic or parasympathetic nervous system resulting in an array of manifestations across multiple body systems. Neuromodulation of the autonomic ... -
