Maxillary lateral incisor agenesis is associated with maxillary form: a geometric morphometric analysis Open
Background and objective Agenesis of the maxillary lateral incisor occurs in up to 4% of all individuals and requires multidisciplinary treatment. Its developmental origins, however, are not fully understood. Earlier studies documented gen…

Salivary MRP-8/14 and the presence of periodontitis-associated bacteria in children with bonded maxillary expansion treatment Open
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate changes in saliva concentration of the inflammatory marker MRP-8/14 and the presence of some periodontitis-associated bacteria in patients with mixed dentition treated with a rigid acryli…

Behaviour of Human Oral Epithelial Cells Grown on Invisalign® SmartTrack® Material Open
Invisalign aligners have been widely used to correct malocclusions, but their effect on oral cells is poorly known. Previous research evaluated the impact of aligners’ eluates on various cells, but the cell behavior in direct contact with …

Does the time‐point of orthodontic space closure initiation after tooth extraction affect the incidence of gingival cleft development? A randomized controlled clinical trial Open
Background Gingival clefts (GCs) develop frequently during orthodontic space closure and may compromise the treatment outcome. This study assessed whether the time‐point of orthodontic space closure initiation, after permanent tooth extrac…

Intraoral photograph reproducibility for pink & white tissue assessment – is it worth the hassle? Open
Background Short- and long-term evaluation of the aesthetic outcome of implant therapy has become a key research issue, intraoral photography is a frequently used tool for this purpose. Reproducibility of the shooting angle appears thus ve…

Association between maxillary lateral incisors' root volume and palatally displaced canines: An instrumental variables approach to the guidance theory Open
Objectives: To evaluate association and causation between maxillary lateral incisors' (MxI2) apical root volume (ARV) and palatally displaced canines (PDC). Materials and Methods: In a retrospective cross-sectional study, computed tomograp…
