Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the investigation was to evaluate if a Class II malocclusion in adult patients can be successfully corrected by maxillary total arch distalization with interradicular mini-screws in combination with completely customized lingual appliances (CCLA). METHODS Two patient groups were matched for age and gender to determine differences in the quality of final treatment outcome. The treatment results of 40 adult patients with a Class I malocclusion (Group 1) were compared with those of 40 adult patients with a moderate to severe Class II malocclusion (Group 2). All patients had completed treatment with a CCLA (WIN, DW Lingual Systems, Bad Essen, Germany) without overcorrection in the individual treatment plan defined by a target set-up. To compare the treatment results of the two groups, 7 measurements using the American Board of Orthodontics Model Grading System (ABO MGS) and linear measurements for anterior-posterior (AP) and vertical dimensions were assessed at the start of lingual treatment (T1), after debonding (T2B), and compared to the individual target set-up (T2A). RESULTS A statistically significant AP correction (mean 4.5 mm, min/max 2.1/8.6, SD 1.09) was achieved in Group 2, representing 99% of the planned amount. The planned overbite correction was fully achieved in both the Class I and Class II groups. There was a statistically significant improvement in the ABO scores in both groups (Group 1: 39.4 to 17.7, Group 2: 55.8 to 17.1), with no significant difference between the two groups at T2B. 95% of the adult patients in Group 1 and 95% in Group 2 would meet the ABO standards after maxillary total arch distalization with a CCLA and interradicular mini-screws. CONCLUSIONS CCLAs in combination with interradicular mini-screws for maxillary total arch distalization can successfully correct moderate to severe Class II malocclusions in adult patients. The quality of the final occlusal outcome is high and the amount of the sagittal correction can be predicted by the individual target set-up.

Abstract
Background Monocortical mini-screw-type temporary anchorage devices (TADs), or mini-screws, have significantly impacted orthodontic treatment strategies, especially in severe crowding and protrusion cases. These devices offer flexibility in placement sites, but the chosen location can considerably influence tooth displacement patterns. Key factors include the 'line of force' and the biomechanical properties of orthodontic tools. By analyzing tension distribution and three-dimensional displacements, the finite element method (FEM) provides a thorough means to comprehend these patterns. The Curve of Spee (COS) is a crucial factor potentially affecting displacement. Objective This study aimed to leverage finite element analysis (FEA) to understand the impact of varying mini-implant heights (10 mm, 13 mm, and 16 mm) on the displacements of different tooth types under a consistent force of 150 gm and compare these displacements both in the presence and absence of the COS. Materials and methods A CAD model of the jaw and teeth was developed using CT scan data and a Rexcan III 3D White Light Scanner. This model was meshed in Altair HyperMesh using tetrahedral elements, resulting in a Finite Element Model. The model incorporated various components, including teeth, the periodontal ligament (PDL), alveolar bone, brackets, a titanium mini-screw, and an archwire measuring 0.019 x 0.025 inches. Unique material properties were assigned to the PDL, and the assembly accurately replicated the clinical alignment of the archwire and brackets. Subsequently, stress and strain analyses were conducted on the model using the FEM. Results The displacement patterns of various teeth at implant heights of 10 mm, 13 mm, and 16 mm under a 150-gm force were analyzed in relation to the COS. Notably, for the central incisor, the COS significantly affected displacements in the Y and Z directions. Similarly, the Lateral Incisor and Canine exhibited marked changes in the Z direction with the presence of the COS. The Second Premolar's apex displacement showed significant variation due to the COS, while the First Molar displayed notable changes in the X direction. Generally, the presence of the COS either maintained or slightly increased Z-directional displacements across teeth, particularly at the apices. Conclusion The presence of COS significantly influences tooth displacement patterns when using mini-screws at different implant heights. Central incisors, lateral incisors, and canines are particularly sensitive to changes in the Z direction with the COS. The biomechanical analysis emphasizes the importance of considering COS in treatment planning for optimal results with mini-implants in orthodontics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The mandibular buccal shelf area is an extra-alveolar anchorage site that has high quality and quantity of bone, provides biomechanical benefits and has low failure rates. It is essential to place the implant in the region of bone with optimal thickness. The aim of this study was to determine the suitable site of the mandibular buccal shelf for bone screw insertion at 90 degrees and 30 degrees angles of insertion and various heights, angulations, areas of the buccal shelf in prognathic and retrognathic mandibles, and vertical and horizontal growth patterns. METHODS In this retrospective study, we evaluated the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 48 patients in the age range of 18-30 years, divided into four groups. Seven sectional sites were examined at 3, 5, and 7 mm from the alveolar crest at 90 degrees and 30 degrees. The angulation and area of the buccal shelf were examined. RESULTS Cortical bone thickness increased distally from the first to the second molar in all four groups. CONCLUSIONS The preferred site for buccal shelf implant placement was distal to the mandibular second molar. The maximum amount of cortical bone was observed distal to the second molar, 7 mm vertically from the alveolar crest, when the buccal shelf implant was placed at 30 degrees angulation to the long axis of the tooth.

Abstract
An increasing number of clinicians have been utilising orthodontic mini-screws as temporary anchorage devices (TAD) in their practices, but variable successful rates have been reported. Here, we introduce a practical approach to inserting mini-screws successfully. Using computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) technology, the surgical guide for pre-drilling was designed and fabricated and mini-screws were placed following pre-drilling holes in two cases. Two Ø2.0 × 10.0-mm mini-screws were inserted into the prepared holes in the mandibular buccal shelf (MBS) on both sides with a hand driver to distalise the lower molars for Class III correction. The treatment was done successfully, after 12 months of treatment in one case. Two Ø1.6 × 8.0-mm mini-screws were inserted into the prepared holes in the mandibular alveolar process in another case with congenital absence of lower right second premolar. One mini-screw was in the buccal alveolar process between the mandibular right canine and first premolar and the other in the lingual alveolar process between the mandibular right first premolar and second primary molar. The lower right molars would be protracted to close the space left after the extraction of the primary molar using the two mini-screws. The case was still in treatment.

Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to quantify the changes obtained when the molar intrusion movement is complemented by photobiomodulation (PBM). Background: A common problem in adult patients is the super-eruption of maxillary molars caused by the loss of the antagonist tooth. Super-erupted molars impair oral rehabilitation and can cause both occlusal and functional problems. There is increasing research confirming the benefits of adjunctive PBM during orthodontic treatment. Methods: Twenty patients with indication of a maxillary first molar intrusion for oral rehabilitation were selected. Patients were randomized into two groups to receive orthodontic intrusion (control group) or the same treatment complemented by PBM (PBM group) in repeated doses (days 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7 from the start of the intrusion and in each monthly follow-up) by using a low-power red laser diode (670 nm, 150 mW, 12 min around the molar). Plaque index (PI), probing depth (PD), and bleeding of probing (BOP) were assessed at 0, 1, 2, 3, and 6 months. Stereolithography models generated from an intraoral scanner were taken at 0, 3, and 6 months and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) records were taken at 0 and 6 months. Mean intrusion distance, mean intrusion velocity, and volumetric resorption were calculated. Results: Periodontal clinical assessments (PI, PD, and BOP) and mean intrusion distance or mean intrusion velocity yielded no differences (p > 0.05) between groups. However, PBM group showed lower values of all these scores during the first 3 months. Intraoral scanner and CBCT were equally effective in accurately monitoring the intrusion distance (p > 0.05). CBCT records allowed volumetric evaluation of the root resorption process, being lesser in the PBM group, but not significantly (p > 0.05). Conclusions: During orthodontic intrusion process, the adjunctive application of PBM may provide better periodontal records and lower progression of root resorption at the expense of a little lower intrusion distance and velocity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effects of tooth-borne and tooth-bone-borne rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on soft tissue with stereophotogrammetry. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Thirty two patients (15 males and 17 females) who met inclusion criteria were divided into two groups. In the first group, tooth-borne RME appliance (hyrax) was applied to 16 patients (9 males and 7 females mean age 13.4 ± 1.3 years), and in the second group, tooth-bone-borne RME appliance (hybrid hyrax) was applied to 16 patients (6 males and 10 females, mean age 13.05 ± 1.24 years). MATERIALS AND METHODS Changes in soft tissues before RME (T0) and post-retention (T1) period were evaluated by stereophotogrammetry. Linear and angular measurements were performed. Independent- and dependent-sample t tests were used to compare intra- and inter-group differences at P < .05 significance level. RESULTS The data revealed statistically significant changes in nasal width, mid-face width, upper lip vermillion length/lower lip vermillion length ratio and upper lip angle in hyrax group. (P < .05) Also nasal width, lower lip length, lower lip vermillion length, anterior face height, lower face height, convexity angle and mandibular angle showed statistically significant changes in hybrid hyrax group. (P < .05) In the inter-group evaluation, no significant differences were found except upper lip and mandible angle. (P < .05). CONCLUSION Both hyrax and hybrid hyrax expanders had effects on soft tissue profile. Anterior face height and lower face height increased in both groups. Upper lip length increased by 0.36 mm in the hybrid group and 0.10 mm in the hyrax group. TRIAL REGISTRATION This trial was registered at Clinicaltrials.gov (Identifier: NCT04828213).

Abstract
In recent years, clear aligners have diversified and evolved in their primary characteristics (material, gingival margin design, attachments, divots, auxiliaries), increasing their indications and efficiency. We overviewed the brands of aligners used in Italy and reviewed the literature on the evolution of clear aligners based on their characteristics mentioned above by consulting the main scientific databases (PubMed, Scopus, Lilacs, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library). Inclusion and exclusion criteria were established. The data were collected on a purpose-made data collection form and analyzed descriptively. From the initial 580 records, 527 were excluded because they were not related to the subject of the review or because they did not meet the eligibility criteria. The remaining 31 studies were deemed comprehensive for the purpose of the review, although the “gingival margin design” feature and “auxiliaries” tool are not well represented in the more recent literature. Current knowledge on invisible aligners allows us to have a much clearer idea of the basic characteristics of aligner systems. There remains a need to deepen the use of systems other than Invisalign™ to give greater evidence to aligners that are very different based on the characteristics analyzed here and that are very widespread on the market.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of low-intensity laser therapy on mini-implant stability using resonance frequency analysis during canine retraction with fixed appliances. DESIGN A split-mouth randomised clinical trial. SETTING Subjects were recruited and treated in the outpatient clinic, Department of Orthodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Cairo University. PARTICIPANTS Fifteen subjects with mean age 20.9 (±3.4) years who required extraction of maxillary first premolar teeth and mini-implant-supported canine retraction. METHODS Thirty orthodontic mini-implants were inserted bilaterally in the maxillary arches of recruited subjects following alignment and levelling. Mini-implants were immediately loaded with a force of 150 g using nickel titanium coil springs with split-mouth randomisation to a low-intensity laser-treated side and control side. The experimental sides were exposed to low-intensity laser therapy from a diode laser with a wavelength of 940 nm at (0, 7, 14, 21 days) after mini-implant placement. Mini-implant stability was measured using resonance frequency analysis at (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 weeks) after implant placement. RESULTS A total sample of 28 mini-implants were investigated with 14 in each group. Clinically, both mini-implant groups had the same overall success rate of 78.5%. There were no significant differences in resonance frequency scores between low-intensity laser and control sides from baseline to week 2. However, from week 3 to 10, the low-intensity laser sides showed significantly increased mean resonance frequency values compared to control (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Despite evidence of some significant differences in resonance frequency between mini-implants exposed to low-intensity laser light over a 10 weeks period there were no differences in mini-implant stability. Low-intensity laser light cannot be recommended as a clinically useful adjunct to promoting mini-implant stability during canine retraction.
