Evidence concerning (1) the relationship of extraction treatment and development of temporomandibular disorder (TMD), (2) the value of 2-stage treatment when compared to later 1-stage treatment, (3) the effect of orthodontic treatment of smiles and profiles, and (4) rapid maxillary expansion (RME)-induced spontaneous correction of Class II molar relations is reviewed. Is extraction treatment a ...

It is expected that biodiesel production in the EU will remain the dominant contributor as part of a 10% minimum binding target for biofuel in transportation fuel by 2020 within the 20% renewable energy target in the overall EU energy mix. Life cycle assessments (LCA) of biodiesel to evaluate its environmental impacts have, however, remained questionable, mainly because of the adoption of a tra...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the role of treatment timing on the effectiveness of vertical-pull chincup (V-PCC) therapy in conjunction with a bonded rapid maxillary expander (RME) in growing subjects with mild-to-severe hyperdivergent facial patterns. METHODS The records of 39 subjects treated with a bonded RME combined with a V-PCC were compared with 29 untreated sub...

Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) is one of the topics that was introduced about fifty years ago and has been studied continuously since then. The purpose this study to bibliometrically analyze articles on subject ofRME. Using keyword “realistic mathematics education,” 1056 were found related area RME, which scanned in Scopus database “Social Science” publication type between 2000-2021. Ret...

The aim of this study was to investigate the short- and long-term effects induced by rapid maxillary expansion (RME) on the shape of the maxillary and circummaxillary structures by means of thin-plate spline (TPS) analysis. The sample consisted of 42 patients who were compared with a control sample of 20 subjects. The treated subjects underwent Haas-type RME, followed by fixed appliance therapy...

INTRODUCTION The force delivered during rapid maxillary expansion (RME) produces areas of compression on the periodontal ligament of the supporting teeth. The resulting alveolar bone resorption can lead to unwanted tooth movement in the same direction. The purpose of this study was to evaluate periodontal changes by means of computed tomography after RME with tooth-tissue-borne and tooth-borne ...

It is well documented in the literature that a contracted maxilla is commonly associated with nasal obstruction. Midpalatal splitting using the rapid maxillary expansion (RME) technique produces separation of the maxillary halves with consequent widening of the nasal cavity. Although clinicians agree about many of the indications for and outcomes of RME, some disagreements persist in relation t...

BACKGROUND The aim of this experimental study was to investigate the effects of strontium ranelate on bone regeneration in the mid-palatal suture in response to rapid maxillary expansion (RME). METHODS Thirty-six male 6-week-old Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups, ie, an expansion only (EO) group, an expansion plus strontium ranelate (SE) group, and a control group. An orthod...

BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by well-known motor symptoms, whereas the presence of cognitive non-motor symptoms, such as emotional disturbances, is still underestimated. One of the major problems in studying emotion deficits in PD is an atomising approach that does not take into account different levels of emotion elaboration. Our study addressed the question of whether ...
