Yan T, Li H, Yan J, Ma S, Tan J. Age-related mitophagy regulates orthodontic tooth movement by affecting PDLSCs mitochondrial function and RANKL/OPG. FASEB J 2024; 38:e23865. [PMID: 39096136 DOI: 10.1096/fj.202401280r] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/06/2024] [Revised: 07/08/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
A thorough comprehension of age-related variances in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and bone remodeling response to mechanical force holds significant implications for enhancing orthodontic treatment. Mitophagy plays a crucial role in bone metabolism and various age-related diseases. However, the impact of mitophagy on the bone remodeling process during OTM remains elusive. Using adolescent (6 weeks old) and adult (12 months old) rats, we established OTM models and observed that orthodontic force increased the expression of the mitophagy proteins PTEN-induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1) and Parkin, as well as the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts and osteocalcin-positive osteoblasts. These biological changes were found to be age-related. In vitro, compression force loading promoted PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy in periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) derived from adolescents (12-16 years old) and adults (25-35 years old). Furthermore, adult PDLSCs exhibited lower levels of mitophagy, impaired mitochondrial function, and a decreased ratio of RANKL/OPG compared to young PDLSCs after compression. Transfection of siRNA confirmed that inhibition of mitophagy in PDLSC resulted in decreased mitochondrial function and reduced RANKL/OPG ratio. Application of mitophagy inducer Urolithin A enhanced bone remodeling and accelerated OTM in rats, while the mitophagy inhibitor Mdivi-1 had the opposite effect. These findings indicate that force-stimulated PDLSC mitophagy contributes to alveolar bone remodeling during OTM, and age-related impairment of mitophagy negatively impacts the PDLSC response to mechanical stimulus. Our findings enhance the understanding of mitochondrial mechanotransduction and offer new targets to tackle current clinical challenges in orthodontic therapy.

Comparison of the efficiency of initial dental alignment with Invisalign® aligners changed every 7 or 14 days in mature adults: Randomized clinical trial. Orthod Craniofac Res 2024; 27:544-551. [PMID: 38321815 DOI: 10.1111/ocr.12766] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/18/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 02/08/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the anterior crowding correction after sequential use of the first 5 aligners between two aligner exchange protocols (7 and 14 days) in mature adult patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six patients over 35 years who received orthodontic treatment with Invisalign® were randomly allocated to two different aligner replacement sequence protocols: Group 1: exchange every 7 days (n = 18); and Group 2: exchange every 14 days (n = 18). All patients were scanned with iTero Element 5D® (Align Technology) in two treatment times: at pre-treatment (T1) and after using the first five aligners (T2). Little's Irregularity Index (LII) and arch widths were evaluated with OrthoCAD software. Intra and intergroup comparisons were performed with the dependent and independent t-tests. The results were considered significant for P < .05. RESULTS Thirty-five patients completed the study. Both groups' maxillary and mandibular Irregularity Indexesi were significantly lower at T2. There was no significant difference in inter-canine, inter-premolar, and intermolar distances. G2 (14 days) presented a greater decrease in mandibular irregularity than G1 (7 days). CONCLUSION Both exchange protocols (7 and 14 days) effectively correct anterior crowding in the initial phase of orthodontic treatment with aligners in mature adult patients. However, the 14-day exchange protocol provided a greater correction in mandibular anterior crowding in the evaluated period than the 7-day exchange protocol.

Abstract
Compared with teenage patients, adult patients generally show a slower rate of tooth movement and more pronounced alveolar bone loss during orthodontic treatment, indicating the maladaptation of alveolar bone homeostasis under orthodontic force. However, this phenomenon is not well-elucidated to date, leading to increased treatment difficulties and unsatisfactory treatment outcomes in adult orthodontics. Aiming to provide a comprehensive knowledge and further inspire insightful understanding towards this issue, this review summarizes the current evidence and underlying mechanisms. The age-related abatements in mechanosensing and mechanotransduction in adult cells and periodontal tissue may contribute to retarded and unbalanced bone metabolism, thus hindering alveolar bone reconstruction during orthodontic treatment. To this end, periodontal surgery, physical and chemical cues are being developed to reactivate or rejuvenate the aging periodontium and restore the dynamic equilibrium of orthodontic-mediated alveolar bone metabolism. We anticipate that this review will present a general overview of the role that aging plays in orthodontic alveolar bone metabolism and shed new light on the prospective ways out of the impasse.

Abstract
Orthodontic treatment is a commonly utilized method for improving both facial aesthetics and occlusal function. During orthodontic treatment irregular, nodular labial protuberances on the labial side of the anterior teeth may occasionally occur, varying in number and size, which is closely connected to the differential bone remodeling patterns on the internal and external surfaces of the labial alveolar bone. Labial protuberances can not only affect the aesthetic results of orthodontic treatment, but also pose potential risks to periodontal health. Currently, it is believed that the influencing factors of the formation of the labial protuberances may be related to the patient's gender and age, tooth movement speed, and extent of anterior teeth retraction. Labial protuberances typically resolve spontaneously, however, if it is persistent, alveoloplasty may be necessary for treatment. This review provides a summary on the occurrence hypothesis, influencing factors of formation, potential biological mechanisms, and corresponding treatment methods of labial protuberances during orthodontic treatment.

J Clin Med 2024; 13:4216. [PMID: 39064256 PMCID: PMC11278389 DOI: 10.3390/jcm13144216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2024] [Revised: 07/11/2024] [Accepted: 07/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this preliminary study was to determine the differences between planned and actual maxillary molar movements after the completion of treatment with an initial set of clear aligners including sequential maxillary molar distalization. Methods: The data records of 14 non-growing patients who completed orthodontic treatment with sequential maxillary molar distalization using clear aligners were retrospectively evaluated (n= 14, 4 males and 10 females, 33.61 ± 8.57 years). Data on planned tooth movements were obtained from ClinCheck software (ClinCheck Pro version 5.3). The amounts of actual tooth movements were obtained by performing superimposition of lateral cephalograms taken before and after treatment. The amounts of distal translation and tipping between planned and actual maxillary molar movements were compared with the paired Student's t-test. Results: The statistically significant differences between planned and actual translation movements of maxillary first and second molars were shown after completing treatment with the first series of aligners (p < 0.05). The average actual amount of molar distalization on maxillary first molars was less than the planned amount by 1.32 ± 0.42 mm. Similarly, the average actual amount of molar distalization on maxillary second molars was less than the planned amount by 1.57 ± 0.45 mm. The accuracy for molar distalization, namely, the percentage of actual distal translation to planned movement, was 40.11% for maxillary first molars and 35.39% for maxillary second molars. However, the difference between the planned and actual angulation movements was not significant (p > 0.05). Conslusions: In conclusion, the amounts of actual distal translation of maxillary molars through the utilization of clear aligners were significantly lower than planned. However, there were no statistically significant differences between the degrees of actual and planned molar angulation movement.

Abstract
Background/Objectives: Machine learning (ML) models predicting the risk of refinement (i.e., a subsequent course of treatment being necessary) in clear aligner therapy (CAT) were developed and evaluated. Methods: An anonymized sample of 9942 CAT patients (70.6% females, 29.4% males, age range 18-64 years, median 30.5 years), as provided by DrSmile, a large European CAT provider based in Berlin, Germany, was used. Three different ML methods were employed: (1) logistic regression with L1 regularization, (2) extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost), and (3) support vector classification with a radial basis function kernel. In total, 74 factors were selected as predictors for these methods and are consistent with clinical reasoning. Results: On a held-out test set with a true-positive rate of 0.58, the logistic regression model has an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.67, an average precision (AP) of 0.73, and Brier loss of 0.22; the XGBoost model has an AUC of 0.67, an AP of 0.74, and Brier loss of 0.22; and the support vector model has a recall of 0.61 and a precision of 0.64. The logistic regression and XGBoost models identify predictors influencing refinement risk, including patient compliance, interproximal enamel reduction (IPR) and certain planned tooth movements, for example, lingual translation of maxillary incisors being associated with the lowest risk of refinement and rotation of mandibular incisors with the highest risk. Conclusions: These findings suggest moderate, well-calibrated predictive accuracy with both regularized logistic regression and XGBoost and underscore the influence the identified factors have on the risk of refinement in CAT, emphasizing their importance in the careful planning of orthodontic treatment and the potential for shorter treatment times, less patient discomfort, and fewer clinic visits. Identification of at-risk individuals could support tailored clinical decision-making and enable targeted interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate alveolar bone remodelling and stability of mandibular incisors in adult orthodontic extraction patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS Cone-beam computed tomography images of 25 adult patients undergoing extraction were collected before orthodontic treatment (T1), after orthodontic treatment (T2), and after at least 1 year of retention (T3). The labial and lingual alveolar bone heights (ABH), thickness (ABT), and tooth movement of the mandibular incisors were measured during the retraction (T2-T1) and retention (T3-T2) periods. According to the tooth movement during the retention period, the mandibular incisors were further divided into stable and unstable groups, and the correlation between L1-BMe and stability was evaluated. RESULTS The labial and lingual ABHs significantly increased after orthodontic treatment and decreased during the retention period. The lingual ABH was 7.36 ± 2.27 mm at T2 and 5.37 ± 1.98 mm at T3, indicating a great bone remodelling capacity. The labial ABT exhibited a significant increase during orthodontic treatment and a slight decrease during the retention period, while the lingual ABT showed an opposite trend. During the retention period, the root apex moved labially into the alveolar bone housing. L1-BMe significantly increased during orthodontic treatment and decreased during the retention period. Compared to the stable group, lingual ABH and L1-BMe at T2 was significantly higher, and lingual ABT was smaller in the unstable group. CONCLUSION Post-treatment lingual alveolar bone defects of the mandibular incisors could recover to some extent during the retention period. There was a negative correlation between post-treatment L1-BMe and mandibular incisor stability.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence of fenestration and dehiscence between pre- and post-orthodontic treatment and to explore the factors related to fenestration and dehiscence in the anterior teeth after treatment. METHODS This study included 1000 cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 500 patients before (T1) and after (T2) orthodontic treatment. These images were imported into Dolphin 11.9 software to detect alveolar fenestration and dehiscence in the anterior teeth area. The chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were performed to compare the prevalence of alveolar bone defects between time points T1 and T2. A total of 499 patients were selected for logistic regression analysis to examine the correlation among age, sex, crowding, sagittal facial type, extraction, miniscrew use and fenestration or dehiscence post-treatment. RESULTS Except for the maxillary lingual fenestration and labial fenestration of mandibular canines, a significant change in the prevalence of fenestration and dehiscence was noted between time points T1 and T2 (P < .025). Multinomial logistic regression showed that age, miniscrew use and extraction highly influenced the prevalence of anterior lingual dehiscence (P < .05). Dehiscence of the mandibular labial side (skeletal Class III vs. I, OR = 2.368, P = .000) and fenestration of the mandibular lingual side (skeletal Class II vs. I, OR = 2.344, P = .044) were strongly correlated with the sagittal facial type. Dehiscence of the maxillary labial side (moderate vs. mild, OR = 1.468, P = .017) was significantly associated with crowding. CONCLUSIONS Older age, maxillary moderate crowding, skeletal Class III, extraction and miniscrew potentially significantly affect the prevalence of anterior teeth dehiscence. Adult females, skeletal Class III patients on the mandibular labial side and skeletal Class II patients on the mandibular lingual side should be monitored for anterior teeth fenestration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of leukocyte-platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) on the rate of maxillary canine retraction for a period of 5 months. METHODS A split-mouth study was conducted on 16 subjects (9 males and 7 females; age range 17-25 years; mean age, 21.85±2.45 years) who required therapeutic extraction of bilateral maxillary first premolars. After the initial leveling and alignment, L-PRF plugs were placed in a randomly selected extraction socket (Experimental Group), and the other side served as a control (Control Group). Canine retraction was carried out by the activation of nickel-titanium (NiTi) closed-coil springs delivering 150 g of force. The rates of canine movement, canine rotation, tipping, root resorption, and molar movement were assessed at monthly intervals for five months (T0-T5). Pain, swelling and discomfort accompanying the procedure were assessed using a Likert scale. RESULTS The study revealed a significant increase in the rate of canine movement on the experimental side in the first two months, and significant molar anchorage loss was observed only in the first month for control side. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups regarding canine rotation, tipping, probing depth, root resorption, and pain perception. CONCLUSIONS The use of L-PRF plugs in extraction sockets considerably enhanced the rate of canine movement only in the first two months, and long-term efficacy was not observed in this study.

Malocclusion classes included 41.7% in class 1, 47.2% in class 2, 6.9% in class 3, and 4.2% in class 4. The severity of linguoversion was mild in 7.6% of teeth, moderate in 33.9%, and severe in 58.5%. There was complete resolution of linguoversion in 71.2% of teeth, functional resolution in 25.4%, and failure in 3.4%. The median treatment time was 42 (11-174) days. Adjuvant orthodontic treatments were performed at the same time as the inclined plane in 45.7% of teeth, including active force orthodontics, extractions of non-strategic teeth, gingivectomy, and odontoplasty. While the inclined plane was in place, 31.4% of dogs required an anesthetized appliance adjustment, and at the time of appliance removal, complications occurred in 19.4% of dogs. Of the teeth that had initial resolution, 14.4% had rebound movement that required additional treatment. This study supports the idea that an acrylic inclined plane is a good treatment option for linguoverted mandibular canines, with a 96.6% success rate within a median of 6 weeks. Yet, orthodontic retention may be necessary in these cases to avoid the need for additional therapies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Gingivoperiosteoplasty is often used for reconstruction of alveolar defects in infants with cleft lip and palate. This study aimed to examine outcomes of tertiary gingivoperiosteoplasty, which has not previously been investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS This prospective study included 11 adults with complete cleft lip and palate (n = 12 sites) who consecutively underwent segmental Le Fort I osteotomy and concomitant gingivoperiosteoplasty for correction of skeletal class III deformity, nasoalveolar fistula and alveolar cleft. Outcomes included clinical and radiographic evaluations of gingivoperiosteoplasty at the time of osteotomy (presence of nasoalveolar fistula, residual cleft defect and unsupported root ratio of cleft-adjacent teeth), and determination of influencing factors for the clinical success of alveolar cleft repair. Study variables included age, gender, pre-surgical orthodontic treatment and alveolar cleft width of cleft-adjacent canine and angulation between cleft-adjacent teeth before surgery and 1-week postsurgery. RESULTS Posttreatment, no nasoalveolar fistula remained. The residual cleft defect decreased significantly (p < 0.01). The unsupported root ratio of cleft-adjacent teeth did not differ (p > 0.05); eight cleft sites reached Bergland I or II (67% success). One-week postsurgery, the minimal alveolar cleft width of cleft-adjacent canine was significantly less in the success group compared with the failed group (p = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Tertiary gingivoperiosteoplasty and segmental Le Fort I osteotomy decreased nasoalveolar fistulas and induced alveolar bone formation. The minimal alveolar cleft width immediately after surgery was the major influencing factor of clinical success. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Segmental Le Fort I osteotomy with simultaneous gingivoperiosteoplasty efficaciously repairs adult alveolar clefts.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinicians agree that obtaining and retaining good treatment results for missing maxillary central incisors owing to trauma is not easy. Management of adult patients with permanent maxillary central incisor loss who visit the clinic with high expectations for aesthetics and function pose a significant diagnostic dilemma. Therefore, esthetic and functional outcomes should be taken into consideration when deciding the proper treatment method. The treatment described in this study aimed to reestablish smile esthetics by proposing an effective multidisciplinary clinical approach that includes orthodontic-prosthetic-periodontal procedures, optimally reduced lip protrusion, center dental midlines, and establishment of stable occlusion. CASE PRESENTATION The patient was a 19-year-old adult female with bimaxillary arch protrusion who had been wearing removable dentures for several years since the loss of her maxillary central permanent incisors. A multidisciplinary treatment including the extraction of two mandibular primary premolars was adopted. The treatment plan consisted of orthodontic space closure by shifting the adjacent teeth towards the central incisor spaces combined with appropriate morphologic remodeling and gingival reshaping to obtain good aesthetic and functional results. The duration to complete the orthodontic treatment was 35 months. Clinical and radiographic results after treatment suggested smile harmony with an improvement in the facial profile, good function of the occlusion, and a positive effect on bone remodeling in the area of the missing incisors during orthodontic tooth movement. CONCLUSIONS This clinical case illustrated the necessity for using multidisciplinary methods involving orthodontic, prosthodontic, and periodontic procedures to treat an adult female patient with bimaxillary arch protrusion and long-term absence of anterior teeth due to severe trauma.

Abstract
Although substantial progress has been made in dentistry in terms of diagnosis and therapy, current treatment methods in periodontology, orthodontics, endodontics, and oral and maxillofacial surgery, nevertheless, suffer from numerous limitations, some of which are associated with a dramatic reduction in the quality of life. Many general mechanisms of inflammation and immunity also apply to the oral cavity and oral diseases. Nonetheless, there are special features here that are attributable, on the one hand, to developmental biology and, on the other hand, to the specific anatomical situation, which is characterized by a close spatial relationship of soft and hard tissues, exposure to oral microbiota, and to a rapid changing external environment. Currently, a comprehensive and overarching understanding is lacking about how the immune system functions in oral tissues (oral immunology) and how oral immune responses contribute to oral health and disease. Since advances in translational immunology have created a game-changing shift in therapy in rheumatology, allergic diseases, inflammatory bowel disease, and oncology in recent years, it is reasonable to assume that a better understanding of oral immunology might lead to practice-changing diagnostic procedures and therapies in dentistry and thereby also profoundly improve oral health in general.

Abstract
Background Piezocision, a minimally invasive surgical procedure, has been used to accelerate tooth movement'' is appropriate as a background to the abstract section. Aim The aim of this randomized split-mouth study was to evaluate gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) osteocalcin (OC) and type I collagen cross-linked C-terminal telopeptide (ICTP) levels during canine distalization with and without piezocision acceleration. Material and Methods Fifteen systemically healthy subjects (M:F 7:8, 16.27 ± 1.14 years) requiring extraction of maxillary first premolars before retraction of canines were included in the study. Piezocisions were randomly carried out on one of the maxillary canines while bilateral canines served as controls. Canine distalization was conducted using closed-coil springs applying a force of 150 g/side by using miniscrews as anchorage. GCF sampling was performed from maxillary canine mesial and distal sites at baseline, 1, 7, 14, and 28 days. The GCF levels of OC and ICTP were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The rate of tooth movement was evaluated at 2-week intervals. Results The amounts of canine distalization from baseline to 14 and 28 days in the piezocision group were significantly higher than the control group (P < 0.05). The GCF OC level of the piezocision group on the tension side and the ICTP level of the same group on the compression side were higher than the respective sides of the control group on day 14 (P < 0.05). Conclusions Piezocision was found to be an effective treatment procedure for accelerating canine distalization accompanied by increased levels of OC and ICTP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Space closure is a challenging and time-consuming phase of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances. This systematic review evaluated canine retraction duration using fixed appliances after maxillary first premolar extraction. METHODS Unrestricted systematic literature searches were conducted in 8 databases for randomized clinical trials, assessing the duration and rate of maxillary canine retraction using fixed appliances with or without treatment adjuncts published up to July 2021. Study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias evaluation were conducted independently and in duplicate. Random-effects meta-analyses of average rates or mean differences (MD) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were conducted at α = 5%, followed by sensitivity and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation analysis. RESULTS Fifty randomized clinical trials (6 parallel and 44 split-mouth designs) covering 811 participants (mean age 19.9 years; 34% male) were included. The estimated average pooled duration to achieve complete canine retraction was 4.98 months (2 trials; 95% CI, -2.9 to 12.88 months). Pooled average canine retraction was 0.97 mm at months 0-1 (23 trials; 95% CI, 0.79-1.16), 1.83 mm at months 0-2 (20 trials; 95% CI, 1.52-2.14), 2.44 mm at months 0-3 (23 trials; 95% CI, 2.10-2.79), 3.49 mm at months 0-4 (6 trials; 95% CI, 1.81-5.17) and 4.25 mm at months 0-5 (2 trials; 95% CI, 0.36-8.14). Surgically-assisted orthodontics was associated with greater canine retraction at all time points: months 0-1 (10 trials; MD, 0.52 mm; P = 0.004), months 0-2 (8 trials; MD, 0.53 mm; P = 0.04), months 0-3 (8 trials; MD, 0.67 mm; P = 0.01), and months 0-4 (3 trials; MD, 1.13 mm; P = 0.01), whereas subgroup analyses indicated significant effects of anchorage reinforcement method and bracket slot size on canine retraction. CONCLUSIONS The average time to achieve complete retraction of the maxillary canine using fixed appliances was around 5.0 months. Most studies used split-mouth randomization to investigate canine retraction for around 1-3 months, with substantial heterogeneity across studies. At 3 months of treatment, high-quality evidence supported greater canine retraction with surgically-assisted orthodontics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Distinct, irregular, and hard, nodular labial protuberances (LPs) that were due to differential alveolar bone modeling can be noted on the labial gingival surface of the incisors after orthodontic treatment. Clinically, LPs cause patient discomfort and esthetic issues, but information on this phenomenon is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence of LPs and demonstrate the etiology and clinical risk factors associated with this phenomenon. METHODS Differential alveolar bone modeling was defined as present (+) when ≥1 distinct LPs (diameter >1 mm) developed after orthodontic treatment by comparing pretreatment and posttreatment intraoral photographs and casts of an orthodontic patient cohort treated with fixed appliances (n = 872). The incidence rate, affected sites, and their association with age, sex, and orthodontic treatment modalities were evaluated. RESULTS The incidence rate of differential alveolar bone modeling among orthodontic patients was 3.2% (28 out of 872). The maxillary lateral incisor region was the most frequently affected site. Males (vs females) (odds ratio, 2.56 [95% confidence interval, 1.155-5.604]), adults (aged ≥ 20 years) (vs teens) (12.84 [3.003-54.866]), and those who had orthodontic extraction (vs nonextraction) (11.60 [3.434-39.156]) demonstrated significantly higher odds of developing LPs after orthodontic treatment (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS The incidence rate of the development of notable LPs after orthodontic treatment was 3.2%. Adult males and those who undergo orthodontic extraction have a higher risk of developing LPs. Clinicians should be aware that distinct LPs may develop when large amounts of incisal retraction are planned in adults.

Abstract
PURPOSE This retrospective study aimed to determine whether a correlation exists between the fractal dimension value and overall orthodontic treatment duration in children and young adults. METHODS The study included a total of 643 patients (age: 10-25 years) who received orthodontic treatment between January 2015 and March 2020. Patient records and pretreatment panoramic radiographs were evaluated. The regions of interest selected for calculating fractal dimension were the bilateral mental foramen regions of the mandible. Fractal dimension was set in relation to orthodontic treatment duration using a linear regression model which was also adjusted for potential confounding variables. Total treatment duration was the outcome variable of interest used as a continuous variable. The predictor variables of interest included age, gender, type of dental and skeletal malocclusion, vertical growth pattern, extraction type, and fractal dimension. RESULTS The mean age, treatment duration, and fractal dimension were 14.56 years, 27.01 months, and 1.23 mm, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the fractal dimension had a significant influence on overall treatment duration (P < 0.001). From the other variables, Angle class II malocclusion significantly influenced treatment duration (P < 0.01), age showed a significant negative correlation with treatment duration (P < 0.01), and treatment duration significantly increased for patients with tooth extractions (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION There was a negative correlation between fractal dimensions at the mandibular mental region and total orthodontic treatment duration. Fractal dimension analysis may help to understand physiologic features of alveolar bone and predict orthodontic tooth movement.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the difference of alveolar bone remodeling between the adolescents and adults in the maxillary incisor area during retraction. This retrospective study included 72 female patients who needed moderate anchorage to correct the bimaxillary protrusion. Subjects were further divided into the minor group (n = 36, 11-16 years old) and adult group (n = 36, 18-35 years old). Digital lateral cephalography and cone beam CT scanning were taken in each patient before (T0) and after treatment (T1). Cephalometry was conducted to assess incisor retraction, while alveolar bone thickness (ABT), alveolar bone distance (ABD), and alveolar bone area (ABA) were detected to assess changes in the alveolar bone. No difference in the inclination of upper incisors was observed at both T0 and T1 between two groups. Changes in the alveolar bone showed a similar tendency with bone apposition on the labial side and bone resorption on the palatal side in both groups. Less increase in the labial ABT (T1-T0) and more decrease in the palatal ABT (T1-T0) was found in the adult group, leading to less total ABT in the adult group. Higher reduction in ABD (T1-T0) was found in the adult group. Moreover, more decrease in the ABA (T1-T0) was found in the adult group. Adult patients have less alveolar bone support after treatment when compared with young adolescents. Orthodontists should take the age into consideration to reduce the potential periodontal risks during the treatment planning.

Abstract
Missing or compromised permanent molars can complicate orthodontic treatment planning and mechanics. Molar extraction should be considered in appropriate situations, but clinicians must decide between closing and regaining the edentulous space. Several factors should be taken into consideration to achieve appropriate molar space management, such as the need for space, asymmetry, periodontal status, sinus pneumatization, and the terminal molar position. Herein, three sample cases are reported to demonstrate the treatment options for molar space closure and maintenance with these factors taken into consideration during treatment planning. The understanding of mechanics played a crucial role in anchorage preparation and side effect prevention. If the third molar substitution was managed in advance and adequate space between the ramus and third molar was obtained via second molar protraction, the tooth spontaneously erupted in a favorable position without requiring further treatment. This case series can aid clinicians in molar space management. Regardless of whether the space is to be closed or regained, the treatment plan should conform to the patient’s expectations and improve occlusion with minimal side effects and treatment duration.

[PMID: 34794862 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2021.06.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/01/2021] [Revised: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/01/2021] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION A key goal of orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances is alignment of the dentition, and this remains a commonly selected outcome in clinical studies investigating orthodontic tooth movement. This systematic review has evaluated treatment duration to achieve alignment of the mandibular dentition using fixed appliances. METHODS Systematic literature searches without restrictions were undertaken in 9 databases for randomized clinical trials (RCTs) assessing duration and rate of tooth alignment using fixed appliances with or without treatment adjuncts published up to January 2021. After duplicate study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment according to Cochrane, random-effects meta-analyses of aggregate data, and individual patient data were conducted. RESULTS Thirty-five trials were included with 2258 participants (39% male; mean age 17.8 years), giving a pooled duration to achieve whole-arch alignment of the mandibular dentition of 263.0 days (4 trials; 95% confidence interval [CI], 186.7-339.4 days) and incisor alignment in the mandibular arch of 100.7 days (9 trials; 95% CI, 84.1-117.4 days). Surgical-assisted orthodontics was associated with reduced duration of incisor alignment: mean difference of 44.3 days less (4 trials; 95% CI, 20.0-68.9 days; P <0.001; high quality of evidence), whereas subgroup and meta-regression analyses indicated significant effects of baseline crowding and premolar extractions. Individual patient data analysis from 3 RCTs indicated that for each additional participant age year, whole-arch alignment of the mandibular dentition took 13.7 days longer (3 trials; 95% CI, 7.7-17.7 days; P <0.001) and for each additional mm of irregularity, 17.5 days more were needed (2 trials; 95% CI, 9.8-25.2 days; P <0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patient and treatment-related characteristics can significantly affect the duration of tooth alignment and should be taken into account both clinically and when designing trial outcomes. Future research studies investigating rates of orthodontic tooth alignment would benefit from adequate sample sizes and a more consistent methodology in outcome assessment. Data in this systematic review provides a basis for appropriate trial design for future RCTs investigating the rate of orthodontic tooth alignment with fixed appliances.

Efficacy and safety of different interventions to accelerate maxillary canine retraction following premolar extraction: A systematic review and network meta-analysis. Orthod Craniofac Res 2021; 24:17-38. [PMID: 34643019 DOI: 10.1111/ocr.12409] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2020] [Revised: 06/22/2020] [Accepted: 06/24/2020] [Indexed: 01/03/2023]
Abstract
Decreasing orthodontic treatment duration is at the forefront of innovation for clinical orthodontics. This network meta-analysis aimed to determine the relative efficacy and safety of treatments for accelerated orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) in patients undergoing extraction of maxillary first premolars followed by canine retraction in any orthodontic setting. MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane CENTRAL, CINAHL and SCOPUS were searched (from inception to 20 April 2020). Study selection and data extraction were performed in duplicate. Eligible randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were meta-analysed to estimate the rate of tooth movement, 95% credible interval and surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) in the first 3 months following the application of the adjunctive accelerative method. Eligible RCTs were assessed by Cochrane risk of bias tool, and quality of evidence was assessed by GRADE approach, obtained from CINeMA web application. Interventions were ranked for efficacy and reviewed for safety. Nineteen studies pertaining to eight interventions, with data from 415 patients were included. Quality of evidence was very low to moderate. Very low-to low-quality evidence suggests that corticotomy is an efficacious and safe adjunctive treatment to accelerate OTM in comparison with conventional treatment in the first 2 months of treatment. Low-quality evidence suggests that piezocision and micro-osteoperforations (MOP) are efficacious and safe adjunctive treatments only in the first month of treatment. Frequent MOP in conjunction with low-level laser therapy appeared to be an efficacious and safe adjunctive treatment only in the first month following its initial application but not thereafter.

The effect of piezocision vs no piezocision on maxillary extraction space closure: A split-mouth, randomized controlled clinical trial. Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2021; 161:7-19.e2. [PMID: 34654603 DOI: 10.1016/j.ajodo.2021.06.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/01/2020] [Revised: 06/01/2021] [Accepted: 06/01/2021] [Indexed: 01/17/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this 2-arm-parallel, split-mouth trial was to investigate the effects of piezocision compared with no piezocision on maxillary canine distalization and to evaluate patient perceptions on the surgical procedure. METHODS Twenty-two participants requiring extractions of maxillary first premolars were recruited from the Department of Orthodontics (Sydney Dental Hospital) waiting list. After leveling and alignment, a minimum of 3 mm space was required for canine retraction. Piezocision cuts distal to the canines were 4 mm long and 3 mm deep into the buccal cortical plate. The canine retraction was initiated on both sides immediately after surgery, with coil springs delivering 150 g of force per side. Random assignment of piezocision or control intervention on the patient's right side was performed (www.randomisation.com) for the random number generation, and allocation concealment was accomplished with opaque, sealed envelopes. Patients were assessed every 6 weeks for coil activation and alginate impressions over 18 weeks. The primary outcome was the amount of tooth movement in mm. Secondary outcomes were canine rotation, anchorage loss measured on scanned dental models, and patient pain levels and perception on piezocision using visual analog scale questionnaires. Blinding was feasible for the dental model measurements. RESULTS Twenty patients completed the trial. The treatment × time interaction showed no statistically or clinically significant differences in maxillary extraction space closure (b = -0.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.29 to 0.25; P = 0.89) canine rotation (b = -1.45; 95% CI, -4 to 1.09; P = 0.26) and anchorage loss (b = -0.02; 95% CI, -0.38 to 0.34; P = 0.92). All patients except for one had minimal pain associated with the piezocision surgery but found the procedure tolerable and would recommend it. No harm occurred during the trial. CONCLUSIONS Piezocision-assisted maxillary canine distalization was similar to distalization with conventional orthodontics with patients tolerating the procedure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Orthodontic retention aims to maintain optimal teeth positions after active treatment. The stability is affected by numerous factors, including patients' individual features, thus retention should be adjusted in the most optimal way. Bonding a retainer makes retention less dependent on patient's compliance. QUESTIONS ARISE What wire or fiber splint type provides the best treatment stability? What materials should be used to bond the wire or fiber splint? Should be the bonding procedure be direct or indirect? The aim of the study is to assess and synthesize available controlled trials investigating failures of fixed retainers. METHODS Literature searches of free text and MeSH terms were performed in Scopus, Web of Science, Embase and PubMed Central in order to find studies, referring to failures of fixed retention (12th February 2021). The keywords were: ("orthodontic retainers AND failure AND wire"). The framework of this systematic review according to PICO was: Population: orthodontic patients; Intervention: fixed orthodontic retainer bonding; Comparison: Different protocols of fixed orthodontic retention applied; Outcomes: failure rate, survival rate. Three different specific scales from the Cochrane Collaboration Handbook were used, according to each study type. Additionally, a meta-analysis was conducted to compare the effectiveness of retention using fiber reinforced composite and multistranded steel wire. RESULTS The search identified 177 potential articles: 114 from PubMed, 41 from Scopus, 20 from Web of Science and 2 from Embase. After excluding studies inconsistent with selection criteria, 21 studies were included and subjected to qualitative analysis. The main outcome investigated was failure rate. This systematic review has some potential limitations due to the heterogeneity of design between included studies. CONCLUSIONS No retainer is proved to guarantee a perfect stability of dental alignment. The retainer should be bonded to all adherent teeth, preferably with additional use of bonding resin. No wire or fiber splint present superior characteristics concerning failure rate. Fiber reinforced composite retention is more sensitive to operator skills, and with imperfect bonding technique, failure rate is much higher. During the first 6 months after bonding retainer the patient should be under frequent control. The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO database with the number CRD42021233406.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the clinical scenario, adult patients with periodontal diseases and dental malformation, characterized by dental crowding in lower anterior teeth with the thin biotype, often require orthodontic treatment. This case report aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) combined with autologous platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in an adult patient with class I malocclusion along with dental crowding, a thin periodontal biotype, and buccal plate deficiency.
CASE SUMMARY A 32-year-old female complaining of dental crowding and gingival bleeding was referred to the orthodontic clinic. The patient underwent periodontal risk assessment prior to orthodontic treatment. She was diagnosed with a high risk of gingival recession due to dental crowding, root prominence, loss of buccal plates, and a thin gingival tissue biotype. The treatment regimen included PAOO combined with autologous PRF for alveolar augmentation and interproximal enamel reduction for moderate dental crowding. Clinically, PAOO-assisted orthodontic tooth movement in this case showed enhanced periodontium remodeling. Radiographic outcomes also showed statistically significant improvements (P < 0.01) in the mandibular buccal alveolar bone.
CONCLUSION This case report suggests the combination of autologous PRF with PAOO to enhance bone augmentation and long-term tissue support in adult orthodontic patients with periodontal disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Adults with fixed orthodontic appliances are increasing nowadays. Compared with adolescents, adults present biological differences that might influence treatment duration. Therefore, the aim of the study was to compare duration of treatment with fixed appliances between adults and adolescents. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight databases were searched up to September 2019 for randomized and non-randomized clinical studies comparing treatment duration with fixed appliances in adolescents and adult patients. After duplicate study selection, data extraction, and risk of bias assessment with the Cochrane ROBINS-I tool, random effects meta-analyses of mean differences (MD) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were performed, followed by assessment of the quality of evidence with GRADE. RESULTS A total of 11 unique studies (one prospective and 10 retrospective non-randomized) with 2969 adolescents and 1380 adult patients were finally included. Meta-analysis of 7 studies found no significant difference in the duration of comprehensive treatment with fixed appliances (MD = - 0.8 month; 95% CI = - 4.2 to 2.6 months; P = 0.65; I2 = 92%) between adults and adolescents. Similarly, both distalization of upper first molars with skeletal anchorage for class II correction and the retraction of canines into the premolar extraction spaces lasted similarly long among adults and adolescents. On the other hand, alignment of palatally displaced canines lasted considerably longer in adults compared to adolescents (1 study; MD = 3.8 months; 95% CI = 1.4 to 6.2 months; P = 0.002). The quality of evidence for the meta-analysis was low due to the inclusion of non-randomized studies with considerable risk of bias. CONCLUSIONS While existing evidence does not indicate a difference in the overall duration of treatment with fixed appliances between adults and adolescents, the alignment of palatally displaced canines lasted significantly longer in adults. However, our confidence in these estimates is low due to the risk of bias in the included studies. TRIAL REGISTRATION PROSPERO: ( CRD42019148169 ).

El-Bialy T. The Effect of High-Frequency Vibration on Tooth Movement and Alveolar Bone in Non-Growing Skeletal Class II High Angle Orthodontic Patients: Case Series. Dent J (Basel) 2020; 8:dj8040110. [PMID: 33019686 PMCID: PMC7712585 DOI: 10.3390/dj8040110] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Revised: 09/09/2020] [Accepted: 09/12/2020] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
This study presents a novel technique utilizing high-frequency vibration to shorten treatment time and preserve alveolar bone in challenging orthodontic cases that have been treated with Invisalign® clear aligners. Four non-growing orthodontic patients (age range 14–47 years old) with Class II skeletal patterns (convex profiles with retrognathic mandibles) who sought correction of their crowded teeth and non-surgical correction of their convex profiles were included in this study. These patients were treated using Invisalign clear aligners together with high-frequency vibration (HFV) devices (120 Hz) (VPro5™) that were used by all patients for five minutes per day during active orthodontic treatment. Vertical control and forward rotation of the mandible for each patient was achieved through pre-programming the Invisalign to produce posterior teeth intrusion. Successful forward rotation of the mandibles achieved in all patients led to improvement of their facial convex profiles (apical base relationship (ANB) improved 2.1 ± 0.5 degrees; FMA (Frankfurt mandibular plane angle) improved 1.2 + 1.1 degrees). Dental decompensation was achieved by lingual tipping of the lower incisors and palatal root torque of upper incisors. The use of HFV together with Invisalign facilitated achieving these results within a 12 ± 6 months period. In addition, more bone labial to the lower incisors after their lingual movement was noted. In conclusion, the use of HFV concurrent with SmartTrack Invisalign aligners allowed complex tooth movement and forward mandibular projection without surgery in non-growing patients with skeletal Class II relationships. The clinical impact and implications of this case series are: (1) the use of HFV facilitates complex orthodontic tooth movement including posterior teeth intrusion and incisor decompensation; (2) forward mandibular projection of the mandible and increased bone formation labial to lower incisors can be achieved in non-growing patients that may minimize the need for surgical intervention in similar cases or gum recession due to lower incisors labial inclination.
