Author [ndash] King G Biomedicine has the potential to improve orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedic treatment significantly. The importance of biomedicine has grown as the result of three trends that have experienced rapid development in recent years: the increased molecularization of biology; the rise of computer modeling; and the greater application of experimentation to clinical settings. Despite this, the translation of new biologic knowledge to clinical practice in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics has been slow. Notably promising areas of orthodontic biomedical research can be recognized in diagnosis, treatm...

Strains in periodontal ligament and alveolar bone associated with orthodontic tooth movement analyzed by finite elementEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions [ndash] We could not confirm the classical ideas of distinct and symmetrical compressive and tensile areas in the periodontium in relation to different OTM scenarios. Light continuous orthodontics forces will be perceived as intermittent by the periodontium. Because roots and alveolar bone morphology are patient-specific, FE-analysis of orthodontic loading regime should not be based on general models. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Regulation of mechanical signals in boneEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions [ndash] Adaptation of bone to functional challenges is complex but it is clear that more is not necessarily better and that even very low-magnitude mechanical signals can be anabolic. The development of effective biomechanical interventions in areas such as orthodontics, craniofacial repair, or osteoporosis will require the identification of the specific components of bone's mechanical environment that are anabolic, catabolic, or anti-catabolic.

Reproducibility of facial soft tissue landmarks on 3D laser-scanned facial imagesEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions [ndash] The reproducibility of facial landmarks should be considered in the three planes of space. The majority of X-Y-Z coordinates taken to the 21 facial landmarks were reproducible to < 1 mm which is clinically acceptable. The accuracy of landmarks identification ranged from 0.39 to 1.49 mm. The reliability in identification depends on the clarity and definition of each landmark as well as gender characteristics. The different landmarks reproducibility should be considered when evaluating changes related to growth and healthcare interventions. (Source: Orthodontics and Craniofacial Research)

Conclusions [ndash] Differences in facial morphology can be accurately quantified and visualized using 3D imaging technology. This method of facial assessment can be recommended and applied for future research studies to assess facial soft tissue changes because of growth or healthcare intervention.

Hemimandibular elongation: treatment and long-term follow-upEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions [ndash] High condylectomy to stop excessive growth and OS to correct facial asymmetry is considered successful and necessary treatment for patients with HE. MMO can well recover after surgical traumas. Orthodontists should consider mandibular asymmetry as abnormal and need for surgical treatment if asymmetry is progressive and the ratio between affected/non-affected sides approaches 10%.
