CASE REPORT
Rapid Canine Retraction by Distraction of the Periodontal Ligament
Volume 50 : Number 3 : Page 0 : Mar 2016
Various methods have been proposed to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, including local injection of prostaglandin; supplementation with vitamin D; stimulation of periodontal tissue remodeling with vibratory forces, pulsed electromagnetic fields, electrical currents, or low-energy laser devices; and surgical procedures such as corticotomy, alveolar distraction osteogenesis, or periodontal distraction. To date, the most complete body of evidence is for "surgery first" techniques, followed by low-level laser application and corticotomy. More comprehensive studies are needed, even for these methods.

Retreatment of a Class II Patient with Short-Root Anomaly
Volume 49 : Number 10 : Page 0 : Oct 2015
Short-root anomaly is an idiopathic condition that can occasionally be associated with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance. It affects about 1.3% of the population and is more prevalent in women. Caused by incomplete root development rather than resorptive processes, it is usually confined to the upper incisors or premolars, but may sometimes affect the entire dentition, when it is known as generalized short-root anomaly. Short-root anomalies may be associated with systemic conditions such as dysplasia type 1, scleroderma, thalassemia, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Aarskog syndrome, Down syndrome, or Rothmund-Thomson syndrome.

CASE REPORT
Orthodontic Correction of Impacted and Transposed Upper Canines
Volume 50 : Number 2 : Page 0 : Feb 2016
The canines have the highest reported incidence of dental transposition - most commonly with the first premolar, followed by the lateral incisor. Several authors have described cases in which canine transpositions were resolved or the teeth were aligned in their transposed positions. To our knowledge, however, no one has reported treating a patient in whom bilaterally impacted upper canines were transposed with the lateral incisors and were also associated with severe root resorption of adjacent teeth. Canine transposition is one of the most common causes of tooth resorption. Typically, an upper lateral-incisor root is affected by ectopic eruption of the adjacent canine, although central incisors can also be involved. The apical and middle thirds of the incisor roots are most likely to be resorbed.
