Correction of Anterior Bolton Discrepancy and Crowding in Patients with Missing Lower Incisors
Volume 53 : Number 1 : Page 9 : Jan 2019
In an adult patient with lower anterior crowding and agenesis of one lower central incisor, extraction of the remaining incisor may offer better long-term stability than conventional lower premolar extractions. Dr. Antelo and colleagues present such a case.

Failure to Expose a Canine by Diode Laser
Volume 58 : Number 1 : Page 64 : Jan 2024
After an unsuccessful attempt to expose an impacted canine with a diode laser, Dr. Meru revised his patient-communication protocol and clinical technique. In describing his current procedure for laser exposures, he advises when to stop and refer the patient to an oral surgeon.

Versatility of Elastomeric Ligatures with Occlusal Guards
Volume 60 : Number 4 : Page 264 : Apr 2026
Elastomeric ligatures with occlusal guards, originally designed to protect maxillary incisors from ceramic bracket contact in deep-bite cases, are reintroduced with updated clinical indications and techniques. The authors illustrate their utility across bracket materials and patient presentations, including bite disocclusion, anterior crossbite correction, and soft-tissue protection, positioning these simple auxiliaries as practical, underutilized tools for contemporary clinical practice.

Bonding Ceramic Brackets with Light-Cured Glass Ionomer Cements
Volume 29 : Number 3 : Page 184 : Mar 1995
Bonding orthodontic brackets to an acid-etched enamel surface is an accepted procedure, but can have undesirable complications, such as enamel decalcification, retention of resin tags, and adverse ski...

An Instant Photo Record System
Volume 28 : Number 5 : Page 280 : May 1994
One way to stay competitive is to demonstrate to patients and parents that you are efficient and thorough and that you value their time. You can do this without sacrificing quality by giving them a co...

Prevention of Third-Party Eye Injuries from Outer Facebows
Volume 32 : Number 4 : Page 230 : Apr 1998
Facial injuries from orthodontic facebows have been reported sporadically over the past 30 years.1-4 Samuels recently recommended modifications to inner bows that could increase headgear safety.5,6 Th...

Effects of Different Roughening Methods on Band Retention
Volume 31 : Number 6 : Page 361 : Jun 1997
Even with the widespread use of direct-bonded brackets, conventional bands still play an important role in orthodontic treatment.1,2 In recent years, significant advances have been made in the develop...

Movement of Ankylosed Permanent Teeth with a Distraction Device
Volume 38 : Number 11 : Page 612 : Nov 2004
An ankylosed permanent tooth, one of the most challenging problems in dentistry, almost always has a poor prognosis.1-5 Treatment usually requires block surgery, repetitive luxation, or extraction of ...

Sequential Piezocision in a Challenging Adult Case
Volume 48 : Number 9 : Page 555 : Sep 2014
While the alveolar bone continues to remodel throughout life, our ability to modify the bone orthodontically and thus move teeth is more limited in adults than in adolescent patients.1-7 Therefore, ad...

Asymmetrical Mandibular Molar Protraction with Conventional Mechanics
Volume 49 : Number 5 : Page 304 : May 2015
Mandibular molar protraction is one of the most difficult and least predictable orthodontic movements to achieve, not only because the molar roots are wide buccolingually but because the mandible is f...

The Zygoma and the Symphysis: New Extra-Alveolar Sites for Long Mini-Implants
Volume 51 : Number 10 : Page 680 : Oct 2017
Long mini-implants placed in extra-alveolar areas of good bone quality and quantity can provide stable anchorage without the added cost and surgery of miniplates. The authors evaluate the potential of two new sites, the zygoma and the symphysis, in orthopedic Class III treatment.

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.

CAD/CAM Metallic Printing of a Skeletally Anchored Upper Molar Distalizer
Volume 54 : Number 3 : Page 140 : Mar 2020
Laser melting is an innovative method of 3D printing that has been used to produce metal rapid palatal expanders. Drs. Graf, Vasudavan, and Wilmes show how to use computer-aided design for 3D metal printing of a molar distalizer with palatal mini-implant anchorage.

CASE REPORT
Volume 57 : Number 3 : Page 169 : Mar 2023
This case demonstrates a protocol called SKAR III (skeletal Alt-RAMEC for Class III) in a completely digital workflow. Interceptive treatment of a complex Class III hyperdivergent patient is accomplished in two phases, involving rapid palatal expansion followed by miniscrew-anchored expansion and protraction.
