Effectiveness of different intrusion protocols with clear aligner for maxillary anterior teeth in periodontitis: a finite element analysis
Extrusion of anterior teeth is a common manifestation of periodontitis. Orthodontic intrusion is an effective approach for improving occlusion and periodontal health. This study aimed to identify the optimal protocols for maxillary incisor intrusion using clear aligner (CA) in patients...
Association between impacted third molars and external root resorption on adjacent second molars based on cone-beam computed tomography: a systematic review and meta-analysis
External root resorption (ERR) on second molars (M2s) is an undesirable type of pathological damage associated with adjacent impacted third molars (iM3s). Owing to its limited detectability on conventional radiographs, ERR may remain undiagnosed until irreversible damage has occurred. This...
Stage migration and prognostic refinement of oral squamous cell carcinoma under the AJCC 8th edition staging system: a retrospective cohort study with additional evaluation using the SEER database
The eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system incorporated pathologic depth of invasion (pDOI) and pathologic extranodal extension (pENE) for prognostic stratification in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, the extent of stage migration and...
Investigating the relationship between the difference in gingival color and denture base color on patient satisfaction with complete dentures
Patient satisfaction with complete dentures is multifactorial, with aesthetics being a key determinant. The color match between the denture base and the patient’s natural gingiva is a critical aspect of denture aesthetics; however, its specific impact on satisfaction remained unclear....
Biomechanical impact of beveling design on extrusion of a maxillary canine and a maxillary first molar: an in vitro and finite element analysis study
ABSTRACT Objectives To investigate the effect of beveling side (apical vs occlusal) on the extrusive biomechanics of clear aligners compared to unbeveled attachments when tracking issues occur. Materials and Methods An in vitro Orthodontic Force Simulator (OFS) was used to...
