Effect of Low-Level Laser Therapy on the Distalization of Maxillary Canines in AdolescentsJAYASHREE MANIKANDAN BDS, MDS, RENUKA PAWAR BDS, MDS, CHANAMALLAPPA GANIGER BDS, MDS, SANDESH PHAPHE BDS, MDS, YUSUF A. RONAD BDS, MDSLow-level laser therapy has previously been shown to stimulate bone remodeling. In this split-mouth clinical trial by Dr. Manikandan and colleagues, the canine distalization was nearly twice as fast on the laser side as on the control side. |

CASE REPORTNonsurgical Treatment of Anterior Crossbite in a Cleft Lip and Palate Patient Using a Fan-Type Rapid Palatal Expander and Fixed AppliancesMATHEUS MELO PITHON DDS, PhD, ARIEL ADRIANO REYES DDS, MSc, PhD, SERGIO LUIZ MOTA-JÚNIOR DDS, MSc, PhD, JUSSIMAR SCHEFFER CASTILHOS DDS, MSc, ORLANDO MOTOHIRO TANAKA DDS, PhDIn cleft patients, a maxillary transverse deficiency is often more pronounced in the anterior region. A report of a skeletal Class III case shows how a banded fan-type palatal expander can promote differential expansion and avoid unwanted posterior side effects. |
