Variations in Children's Dental Service Use Based on Four National Health Surveys
CONCLUSIONS: Each survey has a unique approach to defining and eliciting parents’ reports of children’s dental service use, which could result in under- or overestimation of the number and nature of children’s dental services. Each survey’s methodology must be considered when accepting population-based estimates of dental service use to monitor progress in achieving national oral health goals.

The effect size
Clinical trials in orthodontics assess the potential benefits (or harms) of the applied treatments. The final assessment is conducted by using a measure that represents the size of the benefit (or harm), if a benefit exists, of 1 treatment over the comparator. This measure is called effect size and shows the degree by which 1 therapy differs from the other (). A clinical (and statistical) judgment is made on whether this effect size is great enough to set the 2 treatments apart and helps us to decide whether 1 therapy is preferable over the other in a clinical setting. In this article, we will present common effect measures.

Problems of our own making: A view from both sides of the coin
I usually begin my column with the facts of a case and then create an analogy to orthodontics. After going through the court's explanation of the law and its decision, I end the column with a commentary. It is here that I express my opinions and concerns, introduce appropriate risk management principles, and so on. This month's column will be all commentary. The opinions and thoughts that I share with you in my commentaries in no way necessarily reflect the opinions of the AJO-DO or the American Association of Orthodontists; they are mine and mine alone.

Three-dimensional retraction of anterior teeth with orthodontic miniplates in patients with temporomandibular disorder
This article reports on a new biomechanical design (C-therapy) appropriate for anterior segment retraction with excellent control of the vertical dimension, even in a Class II high-angle patient with a temporomandibular disorder. Maximum retraction of the maxillary anterior segment can be achieved with a lingual retractor and a palatal miniplate without appliances on the maxillary posterior segments. Mandibular anterior vertical height was well controlled by a second miniplate in the mental region. This device also contributed to mandibular anchorage reinforcement. A patient with temporomandibular disorder symptoms treated...

Regional odontodysplasia: Orthodontic treatment and transplantation of premolars
This report describes the combined surgical and orthodontic treatment of a boy with regional odontodysplasia. The mandibular right central and lateral incisors and the canine (as well as the deciduous predecessors) were affected. In a 2-step procedure, the maxillary right and left second premolars were autotransplanted to the affected area. The extraction sites in the maxilla were closed, and a good functional occlusion was established.

Segmental distraction osteogenesis with modified LeFort II osteotomy for a patient with craniosynostosis
In this article, we report successful orthodontic treatment combined with segmental distraction osteogenesis after a modified LeFort II osteotomy in a patient with craniosynostosis. An 8-year-old boy diagnosed with craniosynostosis had a dished-in face, an anterior crossbite, and a skeletal Class III jaw relationship because of midfacial hypoplasia. At the age of 13 years 6 months, the maxillary second and mandibular first premolars were extracted, and leveling and alignment of both arches was started with preadjusted edgewise appliances. At age 14 years 11 months, the patient had a modified LeFort II osteotomy, and the ma...

Unusual orthodontic approach to a maxillary canine-premolar transposition and a missing lateral incisor with long-term follow-up
In this case report, we present an unusual approach that was used to treat a 14-year-old patient with a bilateral canine-premolar transposition and a missing maxillary lateral incisor. The orthodontic treatment involved maintaining the transposition and creating a space for lateral incisor replacement. Toward the end of the treatment, accentuated buccal root torque was performed, and lateral group function was established to improve the treatment outcome. Finally, an ideal esthetic and functional occlusion was achieved. The 8-year posttreatment follow-up records show the stability of this treatment.

Is your life in balance?
A few years ago, I was asked to give a short oral presentation at a Graduate Orthodontic Residents Program (GORP) after the evening banquet. I had given many lectures to audiences of orthodontists and had always illustrated my presentations using PowerPoint or Keynote. I had never given an oral presentation without slides or a computer. How could I entertain 250 orthodontic residents after a banquet meal and give them a meaningful message? That was my challenge.

Adenosine blocks aminopterin-induced suppression of osteoclast differentiation
Abstract To search cell surface molecules involved in the regulation of osteoclastogenesis, especially in fusion process, it is one powerful approach to obtain monoclonal antibodies bearing ability to block formation of multinucleated osteoclasts. Ideally, direct bio-assay of hybridoma supernatants is quite convenient to screen monoclonal antibodies of interest from numerous culture wells. However, addition of hybridoma supernatant containing hypoxanthine–aminopterin–thymidine (HAT), components of the selection medium, to whole bone marrow cultures strikingly suppressed osteoclastogenesis.

[Oral health of users of psychoactive substances.]
Abstract The oral health of drug users is increasingly part of the medical universe of caregivers. For too long, the place of oral health in the "good living" was very thin. The mouth of a patient interests very few people, and still less the person himself who begins to worry that very late. His entourage has a lot of other reasons for concern and the dentist is infrequently associated to support teams in a global approach to public health, and a fortiori as caregiver.
