Article Abstract
Accelerating orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is increasingly important for shorter treatment times, which reduces periodontal risks, root resorption and dental caries. Techniques to accelerate OTM focus on stimulating bone remodelling by enhancing osteoclast and osteoblast activity and include both surgical and non-surgical methods. The therapeutic potential of ultrasounds is highly recognized among many medical areas and has shown promising results in modulating bone remodelling and inflammation phenomena. This systematic review aims to collect and analyse the current scientific in vitro and ex vivo evidence on ultrasound stimulation (US) bioeffects in cells implicated in tooth movement. This review was conducted according to PRISMA 2020 guidelines. A bibliographic search was carried out in the PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science databases. Sixteen articles were selected and included in this review. The revised studies suggest that US of 1.0 and 1.5 MHz, delivered at 30 mW/cm, 10 to 30 min daily over three to 14 days seems to be effective in promoting osteoclastogenic activity, while US of 1.5 MHz, 30 to 90 mW/cm, in 5- to 20-min sessions delivered daily for 5 to 14 days exhibits the potential to stimulate osteogenic activity and differentiation. Previous research yielded varied evidence of the effectiveness of US in orthodontics. Future animal studies should employ the recommended US parameters and investigate how distinct protocols can differentially impact tissue remodelling pathways. The knowledge arising from this review will ultimately potentiate the application of US to accelerate OTM in the clinical setting.

Clear aligners offer aesthetic and comfort advantages in orthodontics, yet their ability to deliver effective forces relies heavily on empirical judgment or large-scale optical scanning, lacking real-time quantitative evaluation. Integrating pressure sensors into aligners is a promising solution, but challenges in miniaturization, multi-dimensional sensing, measurement accuracy, and biocompatibility hinder clinical application. Here, an all-in-one Orthodontic Force Acquisition System (OFAS) is presented that enables real-time, 3D force monitoring using a cross-shaped iontronic sensing array and an origami-inspired, wireless battery-free readout circuit miniaturized for single-tooth placement.

Introduction Clear aligners have gained traction in pediatric orthodontics due to their aesthetic and hygienic advantages. However, their applicability and effectiveness in mixed dentition remain underexplored. This study aims to assess the pediatric dentists' perceptions, practices, and challenges associated with clear aligner therapy in mixed dentition.

Background: For orthodontists, the position of the incisors is a key factor in setting treatment goals. Achieving maximum stability requires that they be positioned in the medullary portion of the alveolar bone, balanced with the lingual and labial musculature. Incorrect orthodontic movements can result in root resorption, dehiscences, or even fenestrations.

Background/objectives: To assess the efficacy of conventional, skeletal and invisible orthodontic appliance for maxillary first molar distalization.
Methods: On February 14, 2023, an electronic search was conducted to review molar distalization using conventional, skeletal and invisible appliance, and two updated searches were conducted on August 31, 2023 and November 31,2024. After study selection, data extraction and risk of bias assessment, meta-analyses were performed for molar distalization, molar tipping, incisor movement, incisor tipping and mandibular plane angle change using random-effects model.
Diagnosis and surgical management of impacted mandibular canines associated with a dentigerous cyst and odontoma: A case report.

In dental practice, impacted canines are common clinical conditions that compromise tooth mobility, thereby severely affecting functionality and esthetics. They also represent a significant challenge, particularly when associated with odontogenic pathologies such as dentigerous cysts and odontomas. These entities, despite benign, can cause complications, including tooth displacement, root resorption, and alterations in normal eruption, compromising both esthetics and function.
