This case report describes the successful treatment of a 25-year-old male with maxillary retrognathism, skeletal and dental Class III malocclusion, anterior and posterior crossbite, negative overjet and overbite, mild mandibular crowding, and lower midline deviation. The nonextraction treatment plan included: (1) maxillary and mandibular arch fixed appliance and (2) Le Fort 1 maxillary osteotomy and postsurgical orthodontic treatment. The orthodontic treatment was initiated with 0.022" preadjusted brackets bonded to all the teeth except the maxillary second molars, 2 days before the surgery without any archwires. Two weeks after the surgery, maxillary and mandibular arch alignment along with the occlusal adjustments was started with the use of 0.018" NiTi wires, in both arches. Optimum esthetic and functional results were achieved in 10 weeks after the surgery, with the cooperation of two specialties and the use of surgery first approach.

Objective: Previous studies of nerve distribution in the orofacial complex have focused primarily on the anatomic courses of nerve fibers and have rarely addressed the density of nerve distribution. The nerve distribution in the mandible was described in only one report which showed an increase in nerve distribution density moving from the alveolar crest toward the inferior alveolar nerve. However, no previous reports have focused on the nerve distribution density in the maxilla.

Management of class III malocclusion in patients with cleft is geared toward improving the maxillary position with maxillary protraction therapy with or without bone anchorage. This study aims at evaluating the effects of bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) and tooth-anchored maxillary protraction (TAMP) appliances in patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP).

Abstract Rationale: Nonossifying fibroma (NOF) is one of the benign bone tumors in adolescents, and it rarely occurs in the jawbone. According to the site of onset, it is divided into the cortical type and the medullary type. Currently, there is no case report of medullary NOF in the mandible of the elderly.

Purpose: Crown preparation is a fundamental procedure in restorative dentistry. This study aimed to evaluate quantitative and color-coded assessment of tooth reduction using various 3D-printed tooth reduction guides in comparison to conventional guiding methods during crown preparation.
Methods: Twelve prosthodontic residents from a single prosthodontic graduate program (first year: n = 6; second year: n = 6) participated in this IRB-approved study (Yonsei University Dental Hospital IRB 2-2024-0026).

Purpose: To evaluate changes in implant stability quotient values of hydrophilic tissue-level implants over time, and to investigate the influence of local factors on variations in these values.
Methods: Fifty tapered, self-tapping, tissue-level implants with a hydrophilic surface were placed and monitored for 12 months. Implant stability quotient values were recorded at the time of insertion (T0) and monthly thereafter for 12 months.
