RESUMO
Introducción: El ángulo ANB de Steiner entrega la relación entre el maxilar y la mandíbula en sentido anteroposterior y es una de las medidas cefalométricas más aplicadas en ortodoncia. Su identificación precisa podría presentar dificultades, influyendo directamente en el posterior estudio cefalométrico, diagnóstico y plan de tratamiento. El objetivo de esta investigación fue comparar la medición del ángulo ANB de Steiner entre estudiantes de pregrado de odontología y postítulo de ortodoncia de la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Chile 2020. Materiales y Métodos: Por medio del programa Adobe Photoshop CS6 (Adobe System ®), se solicitó a los estudiantes la identificación de los puntos Nasion, A y B en 5 telerradiografías laterales de cráneo. Al aplicar los criterios de inclusión y exclusión se reclutaron 15 estudiantes de cada grupo. Luego se unieron los puntos mediante trazados, se midió el ángulo ANB de Steiner y se utilizó el coeficiente de correlación intraclase (ICC) para determinar el grado de acuerdo. Resultados: Se encontró un coeficiente de correlación intraclase ICC promedio de 0.97 entre ambos grupos de estudiantes. Conclusión: No hay diferencia estadística en la determinación del ángulo ANB de Steiner entre estudiantes de pregrado de odontología y postítulo de ortodoncia.
Background: The Steiner ANB angle measures the relationship between the maxilla and mandible in the anteroposterior direction and is one of the most applied cephalometric measurements in orthodontics. Its precise identification could pose difficulties, directly influencing the subsequent cephalometric study, diagnosis and treatment plan. The aim of this research was to compare the measurement of the Steiner ANB angle between dental student and postgraduate students in orthodontics from the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Chile 2020. Materials and Methods: Using the Adobe Photoshop CS6 program (Adobe System ®), the students were asked to identify the Nasion, A and B points in 5 lateral cephalogram of the skull. By applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 students were recruited from each group. The points were then joined by tracing, the Steiner ANB angle was measured, and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to determine the degree of agreement. Results: An average ICC intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.97 was found between both groups of students. Conclusion: T here is no statistical difference in the determination of the Steiner ANB angle between undergraduate students of dentistry and postgraduate students of orthodontics.
RESUMO
Background: This study explored the layperson's perception of comfort, satisfaction, and willingness to use various accessories in clear aligner therapy. Methods: A total of 267 people analyzed standardized intraoral photographs of a female model in orthodontic treatment using: 1) only clear aligner (CA), the control group; 2) clear aligner+attachments (AT); 3) clear aligners+Cl II elastics (EL); 4) clear aligner+hybrid treatment with esthetic braces (HEB); 5) Clear aligner+hybrid treatment with metallic braces (HMB); 6) clear aligner+mini-implants (MI); 7) clear aligner+mini-implants and elastics for intrusion (MIE). In addition, a social media questionnaire was distributed to assess the willingness to undergo orthodontic treatment with various accessories. Results: There was a significant difference between CA and all the other groups (P<0.001), with CA being considered more comfortable and providing greater satisfaction compared to other accessories. Moreover, AT showed a significant difference in reducing treatment time compared to other groups. Conclusion: The CA was the most comfortable, exhibiting a higher satisfaction rate and a greater willingness to use it. The AT therapy was perceived as more comfortable and was associated with higher satisfaction and a greater likelihood of use, especially if it resulted in reduced treatment time. On the other hand, the participants reported that the HMB, MI, and MIE accessories were less comfortable.
RESUMO
The chronological age estimation of living individuals is a crucial part of forensic practice and clinical practice, such as in orthodontic treatment. It is well-known that methods for age estimation in living children should be tested on different populations. Ethnic affiliations in Brazil are divided into several major groups depending on the region, with the south of Brazil being known for its German immigration. (1) Background: This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between chronological age and dental age using Demirjian's method and Cameriere's method in a group of children from Joinville, South Brazil to investigate if both methods can be used to estimate dental age in this population. (2) Methods: The sample consisted of 229 panoramic radiographs (119 were males and were 110 females) from Brazilian children (ages ranging from 6 to 12 years). The chronological age at the time of the panoramic radiographic exam was calculated for each child. The dental age was estimated according to Demirjian's method and Cameriere's method. All continuous data were tested for normality by using the Shapiro-Wilk test. The Pearson correlation coefficient test was applied. An alpha of 5% (p < 0.05) was used for all analyses. (3) Results: The mean chronological age was 8.75 years. According to Demirjian's method, the mean dental age was 9.3 years, while according to Cameriere's method, the mean dental age was 8.66 years. A strong correlation between chronological age and dental age according to Demirjian (r = 0.776 and p < 0.0001) and Cameriere (r = 0.735 and p < 0.0001) was observed for both genders. (4) Conclusions: Both methods presented a good correlation with chronological age in the studied population and could be used to assess dental age in this population.
RESUMO
Electropolishing is a common treatment in the industry; however, how it behaves in the mouth and what benefits it can bring over metal dental attachments have not yet been established. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the levels of corrosion, the released metal ions, and the changes in structural composition in metallic orthodontic appliances following electropolishing treatment. This study included 56 orthodontic brackets and 28 archwires. The samples were subjected to a pH cycle to simulate an oral environment. Using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, the release of metallic particles was evaluated, and using scanning electron microscopy, the structural and composition changes were evaluated. Groups were compared using Student's t-tests with a value of p ≤ 0.05. The cyclical pH solutions showed variations between groups and days (1, 3, 5, 7 and 15), reaching the highest acidification in the self-ligating brackets; the absorbance between solutions did not differ significantly. As seen from the SEM results, the experimental group showed minor irregularities compared with the control groups. The experimental brackets decreased in iron and increased in chromium after electropolishing, while for the NiTi archwires, they decreased in nickel. Therefore, electropolishing treatments in metallic orthodontic attachments improve their surface structure and corrosion resistance could reduce the risk of metal hypersensitivity, mainly from nickel.
RESUMO
This report describes multidisciplinary care combining orthodontics and restorative dentistry for a patient with Class II occlusion and stained mandibular and maxillary resin composite veneers. The orthodontic treatment improved severe overjet and malocclusion prior to restorative care. Occlusal assessment was provided with a novel digital device (PlaneSystem, Zirkonzahn) that is integrated with digital workflows for the evaluation of the occlusal plane and condylar path inclination. Diagnostic digital impressions and digital wax-up for intraoral mock-ups led to the patient's treatment acceptance. Minimally invasive tooth preparation, final digital impressions, and bonding under dental dam isolation fulfilled the patient's esthetic and functional demands with all-ceramic restorations.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To investigate artefacts produced by different orthodontic brackets and wires in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two dental arches were made using extracted human teeth and plaster. Three pairs of acetate plates containing different brackets - metallic, ceramic, and self-ligating ceramic with NiTi clip - along with a control plate (i.e., without brackets) were prepared. Wire changes (NiTi and steel) were made during CBCT acquisitions, performed with a fixed exposure protocol. Axial slices were selected for mean gray values and standard deviation measurement in three regions of interest (buccal, lingual, and tooth). Noise and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were calculated and compared among the different brackets and wires by ANOVA with a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: Overall, the buccal and tooth region were mostly affected by the metallic and self-ligating brackets, showing higher noise, and lower CNR (p < 0.05). On the other hand, less impact of ceramic brackets in the image quality was observed (p ≥ 0.05). The lingual region did not show expressive differences among the brackets and wire combinations (p ≥ 0.05). The presence of wire associated with the brackets did not worsen image quality (p ≥ 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, metallic and self-ligating brackets have greater artefact expression than ceramic brackets. The wire did not influence image quality. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: One should pay attention to the type of brackets when requesting a CBCT scan during treatment, as metallic and self-ligating brackets may express greater artefacts than ceramic brackets.

BACKGROUND: The acceptability and preference for clear aligner therapy (CAT) has been increasing among orthodontists, but there is still a lack of consensus regarding CAT best practices. Consequently, this study aimed to investigate CAT practices among orthodontists practicing in Canada. METHODS: The survey was conducted among orthodontists practicing in Canada using a modified previously published survey. Sixty orthodontists participated (6.1% response rate). It consisted of 11 sections with open and closed questions related to demographic information and particularities about using or not using CAT. The survey responses were exported from REDCap to a Microsoft Excel (Microsoft, Redmond, Wash) spreadsheet, then statistically analyzed using SPSS software (SPSS for Windows, version 21.0; IBM Inc., Armonk, NY, USA). The comments were categorized under themes and subthemes. Data were organized in descriptive statistics, expressing frequencies and percentages. RESULTS: Almost 30% of the orthodontist's annual caseload was treated with CAT, most frequently prescribed to adult patients. Case complexity and patient cooperation were the factors that most influenced the decision to prescribe CAT. Almost half of orthodontists reported sometimes combining CAT with adjunctive fixed appliances. CONCLUSIONS: Most orthodontists prescribe CAT, and its use is based on the malocclusion's complexity. Orthodontists who do not prescribe CAT believe that fixed appliance therapy has superior treatment outcomes.

BACKGROUND: The present study aimed to assess the frequency and variation of 13 nonmetric dental crown traits (NDCT) in permanent and primary molars in German orthodontic patients. METHODS: Dental records from orthodontic patients were screened and evaluated. First and second permanent and primary upper and lower molars (from left and right sides) were assessed. Teeth with cavitated dental caries, occlusal wear, restorations and obvious dental deformities were not evaluated. The NDCT for permanent molars were identified and scored according to the odontoscopic system developed by Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS). The NDCT for primary molars were identified and scored according to ASUDAS, Hanihara's method and Sciulli's method. The χ2 test was used to investigate side preference and sexual dimorphism at a significance level of pâ¯≤ 0.050. RESULTS: A total of 163 orthodontic patients (82 males and 81 females) aged 8-14 years were included. A sexual dimorphism was observed for the hypocone in first upper permanent molar (pâ¯= 0.041). The protostylid was observed in lower permanent molars (range 2.1-10%). Males presented more hypoconulid than females (pâ¯= 0.019). Only females presented the distal trigonid crest in lower first permanent molars (pâ¯= 0.002). The most common groove pattern in primary molars was Y; male presented more Y grade than females in the lower second primary molar (pâ¯= 0.039). Asymmetry was observed in some traits, ranging from 0 to 100%. CONCLUSION: The present study showed the frequency of NDCT of molars in German orthodontic patients and demonstrated that some traits present sexual dimorphism.
RESUMO
El objetivo de este estudio fue describir las alternativas terapéuticas ortodóncico-quirúrgicas más utilizadas en la actualidad para el manejo de la displasia cleidocraneal en pacientes en crecimiento. Se realizó una búsqueda de literatura durante mayo de 2023 en las bases de datos Pubmed, Epitemonikos, Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source y LILACS sobre reporte de casos que presentaran estrategias de tratamiento ortodóncico-quirúrgico en pacientes menores de 18 años con displasia cleidocraneal. Seis artículos cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión. De ellos se obtuvieron siete reportes de casos. Las edades de los pacientes fluctúan entre los 10 y 16 años. Las estrategias de tratamiento consisten en al menos dos etapas de tratamiento ortodóncico quirúrgicas que involucran la extracción de dientes primarios y supernumerarios y la exposición quirúrgica de dientes permanentes retenidos para permitir su erupción y/o su tracción ortodóncica. Algunos casos son finalizados con cirugía Ortognática (Osteotomía Le Fort I de avance maxilar). La extracción de dientes primarios y supernumerarios, fenestración y tracción ortodóncica de los dientes permanentes retenidos y la cirugía ortognática al finalizar el crecimiento (cuando sea necesario) se propone actualmente como la mejor alternativa terapéutica para el tratamiento de pacientes con displasia cleidocraneal.
The objective of this study was to describe the orthodontic-surgical therapeutic alternatives most used nowadays, for the management of CCD in growing patients. A literature search for case reports was carried out through May, 2023 in PubMed, Epitemonikos, Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source and LILACS databases. We included case reports that presented complete orthodontic-surgical treatment strategies in patients with DCC under 18 years of age. Six articles met the inclusion criteria and seven case reports were identified. The age of cases ranged from 10 to 16 years. Treatment strategies consisted of at least two stages of surgical orthodontic treatment involving extraction of primary and supernumerary teeth and surgical exposure of impacted permanent teeth to allow spontaneous eruption or orthodontic traction. Some cases were completed with orthognathic surgery. Extraction of primary and supernumerary teeth, fenestration and orthodontic traction of retained permanent teeth and orthognathic surgery at the end of growth (when necessary) is currently proposed as the best therapeutic alternative for the treatment of patients with DCC.
RESUMO
Obtener una buena adhesión entre esmalte y bracket es un aspecto fundamental para el éxito del tratamiento en Ortodoncia. Algunos casos presentan desafíos en esta adhesión, especialmente cuando nos enfrentamos ante un esmalte con alteraciones como hipomineralizaciones, hipoplasias o fluorosis dental. Para sobreponer esta dificultad en la unión adhesiva se han propuesto diversas estrategias terapéuticas como es el uso de agentes desproteinizantes. El objetivo de esta revisión narrativa es describir el uso de hipoclorito de sodio como agente desproteinizante en dientes con alteraciones de esmalte para mejorar la adhesión en Ortodoncia. Se realizó una búsqueda bibliográfica en PubMed de los últimos 5 años. Se encontraron 116 artículos, de los cuales 23 cumplieron con los criterios requeridos y fueron seleccionados para la revisión. La desproteinización del esmalte con hipoclorito de sodio como paso previo al grabado ácido, es una estrategia útil en el proceso de cementación de aparatología de ortodoncia fija en dientes con alteraciones del esmalte. El uso de hipoclorito de sodio al 5,25 % es una alternativa de bajo co sto, no invasiva y eficiente para mejorar la fuerza de adhesión en pacientes con alteraciones del esmalte.
Obtaining good adhesion between enamel and bracket is a fundamental aspect for success in Orthodontics. Some cases present challenges in this adhesion, especially when we are faced with enamel with alterations such as hypomineralization, hypoplasia or dental fluorosis. To overcome this difficulty in adhesive bonding, various therapeutic strategies have been proposed, such as the use of deproteinizing agents. The objective of this study is to describe the use of sodium hypochlorite as a deproteinizing agent in teeth with enamel alterations to improve adhesion in Orthodontics. A bibliographic search was carried out in PubMed for articles within the last 5 years. In this study 116 articles were found, of which 23 met the required criteria and were selected for the review. Deproteinization of the enamel with sodium hypochlorite as a prior step to acid etching is an important stage in the cementation process of fixed appliances in orthodontics. The use of 5.25% sodium hypochlorite is a low-cost, non-invasive and efficient alternative to improve adhesion strength in patients with anomalies of tooth enamel.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: Evaluate, in vitro, the effect of incorporating nano-sized sodium trimetaphosphate (TMPnano) and phosphorylated chitosan (Chi-Ph) into resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC) used for orthodontic bracket cementation, on mechanical, fluoride release, antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties. METHODS: RMGIC was combined with Chi-Ph (0.25%/0.5%) and/or TMPnano (14%). The diametral compressive/tensile strength (DCS/TS), surface hardness (SH) and degree of conversion (%DC) were determined. For fluoride (F) release, samples were immersed in des/remineralizing solutions. Antimicrobial/antibiofilm activity was evaluated by the agar diffusion test and biofilm metabolism (XTT). Cytotoxicity in fibroblasts was assessed with the resazurin method. RESULTS: After 24 h, the RMGIC-14%TMPnano group showed a lower TS value (p < 0.001); after 7 days the RMGIC-14%TMPnano-0.25%Chi-Ph group showed the highest value (p < 0.001). For DCS, the RMGIC group (24 h) showed the highest value (p < 0.001); after 7 days, the highest value was observed for the RMGIC-14%TMPnano-0.25%Chi-Ph (p < 0.001). RMGIC-14%TMPnano, RMGIC-14%TMPnano-0.25%Chi-Ph, RMGIC-14%TMPnano-0.5%Chi-Ph showed higher and similar release of F (p > 0.001). In the SH, the RMGIC-0.25%Chi-Ph; RMGIC-0.5%Chi-Ph; RMGIC-14%TMPnano-0.5%Chi-Ph groups showed similar results after 7 days (p > 0.001). The RMGIC-14%TMPnano-0.25%Chi-Ph group showed a better effect on microbial/antibiofilm growth, and the highest efficacy on cell viability (p < 0.001). After 72 h, only the RMGIC-14%TMPnano-0.25%Chi-Ph group showed cell viability (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The RMGIC-14%TMPnano-0.25%Chi-Ph did not alter the physical-mechanical properties, was not toxic to fibroblasts and reduced the viability and metabolism of S. mutans. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The addition of phosphorylated chitosan and organic phosphate to RMGIC could provide an antibiofilm and remineralizing effect on the tooth enamel of orthodontic patients, who are prone to a high cariogenic challenge due to fluctuations in oral pH and progression of carious lesions.

INTRODUCTION: An ideal orthodontic treatment involves qualitative and quantitative measurements of dental and skeletal components to evaluate patients' discrepancies, such as facial, occlusal, and functional characteristics. Deciding between orthodontics and orthognathic surgery remains challenging, especially in borderline patients. Advances in technology are aiding clinical decisions in orthodontics. The increasing availability of data and the era of big data enable the use of artificial intelligence to guide clinicians' diagnoses. This study aims to test the capacity of different machine learning (ML) models to predict whether orthognathic surgery or orthodontics treatment is required, using soft and hard tissue cephalometric values. METHODS: A total of 920 lateral radiographs from patients previously treated with either conventional orthodontics or in combination with orthognathic surgery were used, comprising n = 558 Class II and n = 362 Class III patients, respectively. Thirty-two measures were obtained from each cephalogram at the initial appointment. The subjects were randomly divided into training (n = 552), validation (n = 183), and test (n = 185) datasets, both as an entire sample and divided into Class II and Class III sub-groups. The extracted data were evaluated using 10 machine learning models and by a four-expert panel consisting of orthodontists (n = 2) and surgeons (n = 2). RESULTS: The combined prediction of 10 models showed top-ranked performance in the testing dataset for accuracy, F1-score, and AUC (entire sample: 0.707, 0.706, 0.791; Class II: 0.759, 0.758, 0.824; Class III: 0.822, 0.807, 0.89). CONCLUSIONS: The proposed combined 10 ML approach model accurately predicted the need for orthognathic surgery, showing better performance in Class III patients.

Aim: This study aimed to collect evidence on the validity and reliability of measurements obtained from digital impression techniques. Materials and Methods: This comparative study was conducted on 31 patients. Intraoral scanner was applied to all patients. For each patient, an alginate impression of the upper maxilla was taken and later the 3D digital model was extracted by dental cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). For preparation of plaster models, alginate impressions were taken and immediately poured with dental stone. In the next stage, a comparison was performed among the intraoral scanner, CBCT, and plaster models in terms of tooth size, dental width, and intra-arch dimensions. Results: Measuring tooth size and intra-arch dimensions in digital images obtained from intraoral scanner and CBCT were in most cases lower than the results obtained in the plaster models but the differences between digital techniques and plaster models are not clinically noticeable. Conclusions: Digital systems including intraoral scanner and CBCT are acceptable for clinical use in terms of accuracy.
Objetivo: Este estudio tuvo como objetivo recopilar evidencia sobre la validez y confiabilidad de las mediciones obtenidas a partir de técnicas de impresión digital. Materiales y Métodos: Este estudio comparativo se realizó en 31 pacientes. A todos los pacientes se les aplicó escáner intraoral. Para cada paciente, se tomó una impresión de alginato del maxilar superior y posteriormente se extrajo el modelo digital 3D mediante Tomografía computarizada de haz cónico (CBCT) dental. Para la preparación de los modelos de yeso se tomaron impresiones de alginato y se vertieron inmediatamente con yeso dental. En la siguiente etapa, se realizó una comparación entre el escáner intraoral, CBCT y los modelos de yeso en términos de tamaño de diente, ancho dental y dimensiones intraarcada. Discusión: Se encontró que la apariencia microscópica de las células fusiformes era comparable en ambos grupos. Los resultados de la citometría de flujo demostraron expresiones comparables en ambos grupos, siendo las muestras positivas para CD90, CD73, CD105, HLA ABC y negativas para CD34, CD45 y HLA DR. Hubo variaciones en la expresión de los marcadores cuando se evaluaron los potenciales de diferenciación. Conclusión: Los sistemas digitales como el escáner intraoral y el CBCT son aceptables para uso clínico en términos de precisión.

BACKGROUND: There is an increasing interest in information on the effects of orthodontic aligners on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) of people. AIM: To compare the impact of orthodontic aligners versus conventional fixed appliances on OHRQoL, using a validated tool and controlling for sociodemographic and clinical variables. METHOD: Sixty-one individuals participated in this study. Group 1 (G1) consisted of 33 individuals under treatment with orthodontic aligners and Group 2 (G2) comprised 28 individuals under treatment with conventional fixed appliances. OHRQoL was evaluated with the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) in which 14 items are distributed across seven dimensions: functional limitation, physical pain, psychological discomfort, physical disability, psychological disability, social disability, and handicap. The higher the score, the more negative is the perception of the individual regarding his/her OHRQoL. Descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney test, and Poisson regression were performed. Effect Size (ES) and Minimal Clinically Important Difference (MCID) were also determined. RESULTS: Participants' mean age was 30.69 years. Individuals in G1 had a significantly lower score for physical pain and the total score of OHIP-14 compared to individuals in G2 (p < 0.05). The ES was large (ES = 0.74) for physical pain and moderate (ES = 0.46) for the total score. The ES was moderate for physical disability (ES = 0.50). The difference between groups for physical pain (1.30) and for physical disability (0.90) was greater than the MCID (0.87 and 0.88, respectively). Poisson regression showed that G2 individuals showed a score for physical pain 1.39 times higher than those of G1 in the adjusted model (OR = 1.39, [1.03-1.89], p = 0.031). CONCLUSION: Those under treatment with orthodontic aligners have a more positive perception of OHRQoL compared to those wearing fixed appliances.

BACKGROUND: The evidence in the literature suggests that some skeletal or dental malocclusions are involved with dental development, resulting in advanced or delayed dental age (DA). The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the association between DA and different types of malocclusions. METHODS: The search was carried out on PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Virtual Health Library, and in the gray literature. Observational studies that evaluated the association between DA and sagittal, vertical, or transversal malocclusions were included. The quality assessment was performed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The data from primary studies were narratively synthesized. The certainty of evidence was evaluated using the GRADE approach. The study was conducted from August 2023 to October 2023. RESULTS: One Thousand Nine Hundred Ninety-One records were identified in the initial search. Twenty (n = 20) studies were included. Most of the studies (n=15) presented a moderate quality according to NOS. Twelve studies evaluated the association between DA and sagittal discrepancies; eight studies evaluated vertical discrepancies, and only one study analyzed a transversal discrepancy. Demirjian's method for DA assessment was the most used among the studies. The primary studies observed that patients of both sexes presenting a vertical growth pattern and males with skeletal Class III malocclusion tend to have advanced DA. The study that investigated transversal malocclusion found that unilateral posterior cross-bite is associated with delayed DA. The certainty of evidence was very low for all outcomes evaluated. CONCLUSION: DA may be associated with the type of malocclusion. It is suggested that DA can be used as an initial diagnostic tool in orthodontics. Future well-designed studies should be performed in order to investigate the association between DA and different types of malocclusions in more detail. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study was registered in the PROSPERO database (CRD42023454207).

INTRODUCTION: Mandibular canine impaction is infrequent in dental eruption anomalies and treatment is very challenging. The aim of this multicenter retrospective panoramic study in Latin America was to evaluate panoramic radiographic imaging characteristics of mandibular canine impaction (impaction area, mandibular base contact, transmigration, impaction height and sex) and their associations. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study evaluated 212 digital panoramic radiographs from three radiological centres in Tingo Maria (Peru), Bogota and Tunja (Colombia). The study included children of both sexes with impacted mandibular canines. Mandibular alpha angle, contact with mandibular basal bone (MBB), impacted sector according to 10 sectors with an adaptation of the Ericson and Kurol method, presence of transmigration and the impacted height were measured and the relationship among these measures was analyzed. Fisher's exact test, Chi-square and binary logistic regression were used. (P<0.05). RESULTS: The mandibular canine impaction showed contact with the MBB (32.08%), dental transmigration (36.79%), mainly located at an apical (40.09%) and sub-apical (36.79%) level. Transmigration mainly occurred in sectors 6 (33.30%) and 10 (25.60%) (P<0.001). It was found that for each year of increase in age, the possibility of contact with the MBB decreased (ß=0.89, P=0.010), and as the alpha angle increased by one degree the probability of contact with the MBB decreased (ß=0.97, P=0.001) and the probability of transmigration increased (ß=1.05, P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: One third of the impacted canines were in contact with the MBB, while another third presented dental transmigration and were mainly located apically and subapically of the incisor roots. These imaging features should be taken into account when planning orthodontic treatment.

El manejo del anclaje en los tratamientos de ortodoncia ha sido un reto constante, por lo que la utilización de miniplacas aparece como un rescate a esta interrogante. Determinar las diferencias morfológicas en la zona de inserción de miniplacas ortodóncicas en las regiones anterior y posterior mandibular, comparandolas entre edad, sexo, biotipo y clase esqueletal. Se estudiaron 40 registros de cone-beam de pacientes y se realizaron mediciones de grosor del hueso, donde se identificaron los sitios que permitan posicionar una miniplaca y fueron comparados entre sexo, grupos etarios, biotipo y clase esqueletal. Se observó diferencias significativas entre hombres y mujeres a nivel anterior mandibular, en los hombres se observaron mayores grosores óseos y corticales. No se observaron diferencias significativas entre pacientes adultos y jóvenes a nivel anterior mandibular, pero sí hubo diferencias a nivel mandibular posterior. La zona 3 mm debajo del 2do molar no es una zona confiable para la inserción de mini placas, ya que muchos de los pacientes no presentaban hueso en esa zona. Las miniplacas son un recurso seguro de anclaje las cuales deben ser adaptadas a cada paciente.
The anchorage management in orthodontic treatments has been a constant challenge, the use of miniplates may be a viable solution to this query. The objective of this study was to determine the morphological differences in the area of insertion of orthodontic miniplates in the anterior and posterior mandibular regions, comparing them between age, sex, biotype and skeletal class. In this analysis 40 cone-beam records of patients were studied, bone thickness measurements were carried out, the sites that allowed the positioning of a miniplate were identified and compared between sex, age groups, biotype and skeletal class. Significant differences were observed between men and women at the anterior mandibular level, in men greater bone and cortical thicknesses were observed. No significant differences were observed between adult and young patients at the anterior mandibular level, but there were differences at the posterior mandibular level. The area 3 mm below the 2nd molar was not a reliable area for the insertion of mini plates, since many of the patients had no bone in that area. Miniplates are a safe anchoring resource which must be adapted to each patient.
RESUMO
During orthodontic treatment, we can achieve differential movements by using photobiomodulation (PBM) as an adjuvant before applying force. We can expect a greater bone density that initially resists movement while applying PBM to the other teeth to achieve an accelerating effect. The proposed protocol is to use an 810 nm laser at 0.1W power, applying between 4 and 6J per tooth for 22 s on the vestibular and lingual root surfaces, following the axial axis of the tooth. The energy density depends on the tip selected in the instrument. Normal bone remodeling cannot be avoided by applying high doses of PBM. PBM should be applied before orthodontic force to reduce tooth movement. In addition, PBM can be used during force application to teeth that require acceleration to achieve differential movement in orthodontic treatments. The protocol is the same in both scenarios.
