A Three-Dimensional Digital Insertion Guide for Palatal Miniscrew Placement
Volume 50 : Number 1 : Page 12 : Jan 2016
Miniscrew anchorage has significantly reduced the need for patient compliance and allowed orthodontic treatment of more types of cases without surgery. Despite its increasing popularity, however, miniscrew placement may be dangerous if the clinician lacks adequate information on the anatomy of the insertion area. Various surgical guides based on digital volumetric imaging, such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), have been proposed as aids to allow precise insertion of miniscrews into the interradicular spaces.

THE CUTTING EDGE
Volume 51 : Number 5 : Page 259 : May 2017
Photobiomodulation (PBM) and photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) are two terms we are hearing more about in our profession and other areas of health care. We see various devices, some over-the-counter, using PBMT to treat acne, wrinkles, hair loss, and pain. PBMT is also being applied for smoking cessation, weight loss, addiction therapy, nerve regeneration, and more. Current research is investigating its use to mitigate the effects of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. It seems almost too good to be true, but studies on the effects of light in the red-to-infrared range (600-1,070nm) have validated PBMT’s effects on a cellular level.
