Guidelines on radiographic imaging as part of root canal treatment: a systematic review with a focus on review imaging after treatment
(2017)
Aim:
To identify guidelines on endodontics which make recommendations relating to post-root canal treatment radiological review imaging, to make an objective assessment of their quality using the AGREE tool and to examine ...
Short-term and long-term effectiveness of powered toothbrushes in promoting periodontal health during orthodontic treatment: A systematic review and meta- analysis
(2017)
Introduction:
Although powered toothbrushes have been reported to reduce gingivitis more than manual toothbrushes in the general population, the evidence regarding orthodontic patients has been inconclusive. Thus, we aimed ...
Performance of Hawley-type retainers: a systematic review of randomized clinical trials
(2018)
Background:
Although post-treatment changes are almost inevitable, and retention has long been recognized as one of the most critical and routine problems faced by orthodontists, there remains a lack of certainty regarding ...
Relation between soft tissue and skeletal changes after mandibular setback surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2016-04-01)
Abstract:
Accurate prediction of hard and soft tissue changes is essential in orthognathic surgery. The aim of the present study was to systematically investigate the relation between soft and hard tissue relocation after ...
Performance of clear vacuum-formed thermoplastic retainers depending on retention protocol: a systematic review
(2017)
Abstract:
We aimed at comparing the performance of vacuum-formed thermoplastic retainers (VFR) worn either
full-time or part-time, in maintaining orthodontic treatment results in terms of tooth alignment, arch form and ...
Tooth wear during orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances: a systematic review
(2018)
Objectives:
Tooth wear, additional to the physiologic alterations of the dentition, may occur during orthodontic treatment. The objective of the present review was to investigate systematically the literature relevant to ...
Treatment outcomes of pre-surgical infant orthopedics in patients with non-syndromic cleft lip and/or palate: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Background:
Non-syndromic clefts lip and/or palate (CL/P) defects may have manifold significant and detrimental consequences for the affected individuals and their family environment. Although the use of pre-surgical ...
Effects of systemic medication on root resorption associated with orthodontic tooth movement: a systematic review of animal studies
(2018-07-09)
Background:
Theoretically, root resorption could be modulated by any medication taken that exhibits possible effects on the implicated molecular pathways.
Objectives:
To systematically investigate and appraise the ...
Does long-term use of pain relievers have an impact on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement? A systematic review of animal studies.
(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 ...
Effectiveness of extraction of primary canines for interceptive management of palatally displaced permanent canines: a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2018)
Background:
Although extraction of primary canines in the mixed dentition has been suggested as a measure to prevent impaction of palatally displaced permanent canines (PDCs), the relevant evidence has been inconclusive ...
