Space Regaining with Modified Palatal Anchorage Plates
Volume 49 : Number 9 : Page 0 : Sep 2015
Space regaining is an important treatment modality for eruption guidance. Shalish and colleagues reported that space regaining and the removal of obstructions can facilitate spontaneous eruption of impacted premolars. Although several devices have been developed to regain space through molar distalization, these methods may result in anchorage loss, incisor proclination, and a slight increase in vertical facial dimension. Koutzoglou and Kostaki reported a relationship between rapid palatal expansion and the natural eruption of impacted canines, but maxillary expansion has also been related to a loss of height and thickness of buccal alveolar bone at the anchorage teeth.

CASE REPORT
Correction of Complete Upper Canine-Premolar Transposition with Palatal Miniscrew Anchorage
Volume 50 : Number 6 : Page 0 : Jun 2016
Transposed teeth, found in .3-.4% of the population, have been attributed to either genetic predisposition or a disturbance of eruption guidance. The maxillary arch is affected more frequently than the mandibular arch; the most common transpositions, in descending order, are canine-first premolar, canine-lateral incisor, canine in the site of the first molar, lateral incisor-central incisor, and canine in the site of the central incisor. In females, who are affected more often than males, transpositions occur more frequently on the left, whereas there is no side predilection in males. Associated dental anomalies include missing teeth, peg-shaped incisors, and supernumerary teeth.

Comparative Direct Dosimetry of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Using Reduced Basis Projections
Volume 52 : Number 3 : Page 173 : Mar 2018
Efforts 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.
