ReviewSystematic reviews in orthodontics: Impact of the PRISMA for Abstracts checklist on completeness of reporting.
This study evaluated and compared the completeness of reporting of abstracts of orthodontics systematic reviews before and after the publication of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) extension for Abstracts Checklist (PRISMA-A). ⋯ The quality of reporting of abstracts of orthodontic systematic reviews and meta-analyses increased after the introduction of PRISMA-A.

Accuracy of Dental Monitoring 3D digital dental models using photograph and video mode.
This study aimed to test the accuracy of the 3-dimensional (3D) digital dental models generated by the Dental Monitoring (DM) smartphone application in both photograph and video modes over successive DM examinations in comparison with 3D digital dental models generated by the iTero Element intraoral scanner. ⋯ 3D digital dental models generated by the DM smartphone application in photograph and video modes are accurate enough to be used for clinical applications.

Incisor malalignment and the risk of periodontal disease progression.
The objective of this study was to investigate the association between incisor crowding, irregularity, and periodontal disease progression in the anterior teeth. ⋯ Certain incisor malalignment traits (ie, maxillary incisor crowding, maxillary incisor spacing, mandibular incisor mild crowding, mandibular incisor moderate-to-severe crowding, mandibular incisor moderate irregularity, and mandibular incisor severe irregularity) are associated with significant periodontal disease progression.

Role of cone-beam computed tomography with a large field of view in Goldenhar syndrome.
Goldenhar syndrome is a rare disease with hemifacial microsomia and craniofacial disorders originating from the first and second branchial arches, such as ocular, auricular, and vertebral anomalies. The complexity and variety of the ways in which the disease presents itself usually need several examinations. In this study, we aimed to evaluate both craniofacial and vertebral skeletal anomalies and asymmetries between the nonaffected and affected sides in patients with Goldenhar syndrome by using cone-beam computed tomography. ⋯ Cone-beam computed tomography with a large field of view was able to accurately identify craniofacial and vertebral skeletal anomalies, and to quantify asymmetries between the nonaffected and affected sides for an efficient maxillofacial treatment planning.
