Research regarding orthodontic changes using the superimposition of digital study models (DSMs) is commonplace. Information regarding the accuracy of data processing by superimposition software is limited. The study aimed to compare different methods of superimposing DSMs using implant-supported crowns (ISC) as a stable reference structure ..read more

Effective risk communication is essential for achieving patient-centered oral health care, but the limited understanding of patients’ subjective perceptions of orthodontic-related risks hinders this process. This study aimed to investigate adults’ awareness, concerns, and risk-avoidance behaviors about long-term orthodontic risks, exploring their relationship with psychosocial factors ..read more

External apical root resorption (EARR) is often an undesirable sequela of orthodontic treatment. Prior studies have suggested a substantial link between EARR and certain genetic components. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may play a role as predisposing factors. This study aimed to investigate the potential association between EARR and various SNPs ..read more
