Introduction Fluoroscopy has played a central role for injection therapies of the spine and peripheral joints, for both interventional pain management and orthopedics. In this chapter, we focus on the…
Interventional orthopedics is a developing field that attempts to bridge the gap between traditional non-operative orthopedics (e.g., sports medicine, interventional spine or pain medicine) and surgical interventions. This field expands…
Introduction Little is known about how precisely orthodontists in the United States (US) assess crowding or at what range of crowding they recommend extraction. This study aimed to assess the…
Introduction Facial esthetics have always received much attention in orthodontic treatment, especially in young adult female patients. Three-dimensional (3D) soft-tissue changes after orthodontic extraction have not been fully explained. This…
Introduction In growing children with transverse malocclusion problems, various types of rapid maxillary expanders (RMEs) have been effectively used in skeletal and dental expansions. We evaluated 3-dimensional dentopalatal changes in…
Introduction This study aimed to assess the reliability of measurements obtained after superimposing 3-dimensional (3D) digital models by comparing them with those obtained from lateral cephalometric radiographs in patients with…
Introduction Direct printing of clear aligners could be the next paradigm shift in modern orthodontics and can potentially overcome the limitation of the indirect production method. This study investigated the…
Introduction This study compared whether there is a difference in treatment time (TT) and efficiency when appointments are held once a month or at 2-week intervals in patients with Class…
Introduction Different types of intraradicular restorations and their insertion have an impact on teeth biomechanics. This study aimed to analyze the biomechanical behavior of maxillary central incisors restored with glass…
Introduction Near-infrared imaging (NIRI) has been proposed as an alternative to radiographs and uses nonionizing radiation in the near-infrared spectrum to differentially scatter light off tooth surfaces and generate images…
