Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
During the past 20 years, advances in basic science related to the biology of tooth movements and clinical trials on the prevention and treatment of malocclusions have dramatically transformed the field of orthodontic treatments, especially through the introduction of new technologies and materials. Moreover, orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning have improved thanks to the introduction of CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) and intra- and extraoral scanners.
The evaluation of dentofacial growth is still the most essential aspect of clinical orthodontics today. Although the number of treatments directed at adult patients has increased considerably in recent years, the majority are still directed at young patients.
The ability to predict growth patterns lies at the heart of contemporary clinical orthodontics. Evidence-based dentistry should be adopted as the general approach by clinicians.
The purpose of the present Special Issue is to collect scientific literature on the most recent techniques that may help orthodontists to improve diagnosis, treatment planning, clinical management, and retention of their young and adult patients in whom different malocclusions are present. The clinical implications of the various proposed techniques will also be discussed.
In order to achieve these objectives, researchers and experts in the field are invited to present their clinical studies regarding these specific topics, and reviews of the literature (narrative reviews and systematic reviews) are also welcome. Case reports and case series involving the above topics will also be considered.
