Cone beam computed tomography: a useful tool in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning [Features Section]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The aim of this article is to make clinicians aware of the use of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) within the field of orthodontics. The paper describes five cases each one illustrating the improved diagnostic yield using CBCT over conventional radiography thus facilitating the appropriate treatment planning of patients.

Infraocclusion of secondary deciduous molars - an unusual outcome [Clinical Section]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This report describes a case in which a short course of interceptive treatment with a 2 x 4 fixed appliance resulted in resolution of the infrocclusion. Recreating space for a severely infraoccluded second deciduous molar resulted in ‘eruption’ of the tooth without the need for extraction. (Source: Journal of Orthodontics)

Colour changes of orthodontic elastomeric module materials exposed to in vitro dietary media [Scientific Section]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Clinicians should make patients aware of the effect of consuming beverages and spices on the colour stability of their selected ligature modules. Clinicians should favour modules made with injection moulding. Darker colour modules may be preferred to clear modules to avoid excessive colour degradation through dietary media such as beverages and food spices. Patients consuming large amounts of spices or coffee should avoid clear modules made by extrusion processing because of their tendency to discolour. (Source: Journal of Orthodontics)

An evaluation of the effects of a web-based modular teaching programme, housed within a virtual learning environment on orthodontic training for specialist registrars [Scientific Section]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Travel commitments for trainees have reduced as a result of introducing the web-based resource, but not as expected. Demands on academic staff have not reduced but have changed. The resource has had positive effects on postgraduate orthodontic teaching and learning. Important themes of interest emerging from the data are improvements in the flexibility and efficiency of learning and the value of the resource as a repository of information and in the organization of teaching and learning. Despite the popularity of this web based learning resource, trainees continue to value the opportunity to interact face to f...

Nasal morphology as an indicator of vertical maxillary skeletal pattern [Scientific Section]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The clinical significance of this study is that the nasolabial angle in itself may not reflect a midface vertical discrepancy, however its upper component, i.e. the degree of upturn of the nose with decreased nasal length in an adult subject may indicate an underlying change in inclination of the palatal plane. This might be of value during orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. (Source: Journal of Orthodontics)

Asymmetric headgear for differential molar movement: a study using finite element analysis [Scientific Section]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: The simulated computer model used in this investigation suggests that a face-bow with a symmetrically soldered joint and arms of equal lengths used in combination with a transpalatal arch is the best headgear option when asymmetric movement of upper molars is desired.

[Features Section] Orthognathic treatment: see how they feel?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
As clinicians we are becoming increasingly careful in our pre-treatment screening processes and in acknowledging the importance of psychological assessment of potential orthognathic patients. However, this does not necessarily guarantee post-treatment satisfaction, even if the clinician thinks the clinical outcome is good. This paper provides the clinician with a schematic framework of those factors which may affect post-treatment outcomes. (Source: Journal of Orthodontics)

[Scientific Section] Comparison of the Bolton Standards to longitudinal cephalograms superimposed on the occipital condyle (I-point)Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: I-point superimposition demonstrates physiologic growth patterns concealed by traditional registration at sella turcica. The evolution of superimposition on SACB was based on convenience and reproducibility. Fundamental principles of bone development are consistent with the occipital condyles as a more biologic reference for relative craniofacial growth. Actual vertical growth is believed to be greater than displayed in this study, due to the cross-sectional and blended nature of the sample. (Source: Journal of Orthodontics)
