Orthodontic Procedures, With or Without Extracting Primary Canines, for the Interceptive Management of Palatally Displaced Permanent Canines: A Systematic Review
(2020)
Purpose:
Although rapid maxillary expansion (RME), transpalatal arch (TPA) and cervical-pull headgear (HG) have been suggested for the interception of palatally displaced permanent canines (PDCs), existing knowledge ...
Effects of orthodontic forces on bone turnover biomarkers in peri-miniscrew crevicular fluid: A systematic review
(2020)
Objective:
Peri-miniscrew crevicular fluid (PMCF) analysis of biomarkers representing bone formation or resorption could provide a non-invasive way to monitor bone turnover around miniscrews and the response to force ...
Microbial Metabolic Genes Crucial for S. aureus Biofilms: An Insight From Re-analysis of Publicly Available Microarray Datasets
(2021)
Abstract:
Bacterial biofilms are microbial lifestyles found in all environments. Up to 80% of human infections and 60–70% of hospital-acquired infections have a biofilm origin, with Staphylococcus aureus one of the leading ...

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 ...
