Invisalign Mandibular Advancers and Tetrahedron 3D Facial Analysis in Dentofacial Orthopedics: 10 RulesJOHN C. VOUDOURIS DDS, DOrth, MSD, JAMES J. POULOS BS, DDS, CHRISTOS SCHISMENOS DMD, DOrth, CHRISTIAN ARGYROPOULOSDrs. Voudouris, Poulos, and Schismenos propose a four-sided analysis that facilitates a quick assessment of the growing patient’s facial pattern and condition.

Correction of Maxillary Transverse Deficiency in Growing Patients with Permanent DentitionsKEVIN MANZELLA DDS, MS, LORENZO FRANCHI DDS, PhD, THIKRIAT AL-JEWAIR BDS, MBA, MSc, MS, FRCD(C)The nickel titanium Memoria Leaf Spring Activated Expander provides a slow, continuous force using only a single screw. Activation is performed at regular office visits rather than at home. The effectiveness of this device is demonstrated by digital arch measurements of two cases presented by Drs. Manzella, Franchi, and Al-Jewair. |

Comparative Direct Dosimetry of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Using Reduced Basis ProjectionsJAMES K. MAH DDS, MSc, DMSc, ROBERT A. DANFORTH DDSEfforts to reduce patient dosage from CBCT have focused on reducing the field of view—an impractical approach for orthodontic imaging. This study from Drs. Mah and Danforth uses direct dosimetry to evaluate the effectiveness of an alternative approach: reducing exposure by performing a half scan instead of the traditional full scan. |
