Stem cell (SC) therapy has become a buzz word in several debilitating diseases in medicine. This rapidly evolving cutting-edge technology has slowly extended its tentacles in dentistry without sparing orthodontics. There are several conditions in orthodontics which are only being partly answered by human-engineered techniques. With the hope of getting a complete solution to several such problems, research in SC therapy has gained momentum in orthodontics for the past few decades. Electronic databases were searched for the material collection; language restriction was not followed. The following keywords were used: stem cell and orthodontics. The search was not limited to any particular type of study design. This review article describes various possible areas in orthodontia where SC therapy will and can be applied in future based on the evidence from a collection of several such studies conducted in those areas.

Objective:
Comparative evaluation of Tweed's analyses in Class I, Class II, and Class III participants of Central India in two different age groups.
Materials and Methods:
Sample size comprised 240 participants belonged to Central India. Participants were divided into two main groups: Group I comprised 120 young children in the age group of 12–16 years and Group II comprised 120 young adults in the age group of 18–22 years. Tweed's analysis was performed from the collected sample.
Results:
The lower incisor inclination (incisor-mandibular plane angle [IMPA]) in Central India participants was higher (100.13°) compared to the original Tweed norm of IMPA 90°. Statistically higher value of IMPA was found in young male children compared to young female children in Class II div 1 and Class II div 2 participants and opposite trend was seen in Class III young adults. The Frankfort-mandibular plane angle was found to be significantly more in young adult females (24.93°) than males (18.07°) in Class III participants. Angle IMPA was found to be significantly higher in Class I compared to Class III participants and significantly higher in Class III compared to Class II div 2 participants.
Conclusion:
The differences of Tweed's parameters in this pilot study indicate that Caucasian norms cannot be truly adhered to Central India participants during orthodontic treatment. Lower incisors were normally more proclined in Central Indian participants and their over retraction during orthodontic treatment would cause prominent chin. Proclination of lower incisor was more in young male children compared to young female children in Class II div 1 and Class II div 2 participants and opposite trend was seen in Class III young adults. Class III female adults show tendency toward vertical growth pattern compared to males. Proclination of lower incisor was found to be more in Class I compared to Class III participants and more in Class III compared to Class II div 2 participants.

Abstract:
Aims:
The aim of this study was to determine appropriate range of cortical bone thickness (CBT) to adequately support microimplants and optimum force magnitude on microimplants for minimal stress distribution.
Settings and Design:
Three-dimensional (3D) CAD models of the desired implant features and cylindrical bone piece of desired height and thickness were exported to FEA software, and variable load was applied on range of different CBT to determine the compressive radial stress and maximum failure load.
Subjects and Methods:
it is clearly said that CBT of various thickness which will represent human maxilla and mandibular bone. The force magnitudes ranging from 15 g to 150 g (in range of 15 g, 50 g, 85 g, and 150 g) were taken to simulate typical orthodontic forces loaded onto microimplant.
Statistical Analysis Used:
Statistical data were analyzed by IBM SPSS Statistics for windows Version 20.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA) software. For quantitative data analysis, ANOVA test was used.
Results:
For CBTs of 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, and 3.0 mm, the maximum force magnitudes that could be applied safely were 533.7, 551.7, 552.3, and 552.9, respectively. Even though there was no difference statistically, the amount of displacement for CBT 1.5–3.0 mm is comparatively less than for 0.5 mm. CBT value of 1.5–3.0 mm might be appropriate for microimplant stability.
Conclusions:
For the purpose of diminishing orthodontic microimplant failure, an optimal force that can be safely loaded onto a microimplant should not exceed a value of around 533–553 g. The CBT of 1.5–3.0 mm might be considered appropriate for the stability of microimplant.

Background:
Early orthodontic treatment (EOT) aims at identifying and intervening occlusal conditions in primary and early-mixed dentition.
Aim:
This study aimed at assessing EOT need and its relationship with sociodemographic characteristics using the index for preventive and interceptive orthodontic treatment needs (IPION) among schoolchildren in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
Study Setting and Design:
An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among schoolchildren aged 6 and 9 years.
Materials and Methods:
Schoolchildren were selected by multistage cluster sampling technique. Questionnaires were used to obtain sociodemographic information; clinical examinations were done to record schoolchildren's IPION scores.
Statistical Analysis Used:
Data were analyzed using a computer software, SPSS version 20.0. Chi-square test was used for assessing statistical differences between variables; P value was set at P < 0.05.
Results:
A total of 667 schoolchildren were involved (59.5% girls; 52.5% 9-year-olds). In 6-year-olds, 77.9% had caries, and in 9-year-olds, 60% had caries. Lower-second primary molars were the most common prematurely lost teeth. Increased overjet was the most frequently recorded occlusal anomaly. Many 9-year-old boys than girls had caries (67.4% vs. 55.5%, P = 0.032). Six-year-olds with mothers who were homemakers compared to those with employed mothers experienced caries (81.7% vs. 71.0%, P = 0.034). Overall, 67.2% and 41.7% of the participants had EOT need and definite EOT need, respectively.
Conclusion:
EOT need for malocclusions was high in the involved school children, these will thus benefit from preventive and interceptive orthodontic treatment programs.

Abstract:
Cleft lip and palate (CLP) patients struggle from multiple limitations, both functionally and esthetically, impeding their social and psychological development. These patients adapt fairly to the functional requirements, but esthetic aspect is always compromised, which play a significant role in their overall development and their acceptance in the society. Early rehabilitation of the esthetic component in the form of replacement of the missing anterior teeth has a positive impact on the quality of life of these patients, which is usually neglected in the early phase of orthodontic treatment. This paper attempts to address the esthetic aspect of CLP patient with a clinical modification of conventional treatment modality.

Abstract:
Ever since the advent of orthodontic therapy, time required for orthodontic treatment has always been under the scanner. Various studies have been done solely for the purpose of decreasing the treatment time. Few methods were invasive while others are not successful enough in accelerating the treatment time. One of the latest methods to accelerate orthodontic treatment is the use of high-frequency small-magnitude vibrations at specific locations. Various animal studies have already been carried out to enhance the methods used to increase orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and in turn decrease the treatment time. Electronic databases of PubMed library were searched from 1998 to 2018. Ten clinical studies were evaluated after considering the inclusion and exclusion criteria. It was concluded that high-frequency low-magnitude vibrations can increase OTM by activation of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B/receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand pathway and stimulating the periodontal tissues.

Abstract:
Bonding is the most published and researched procedure in orthodontics. Since its inception in 1954 by Buonocore, bonding material and technique have undergone major innovations and upgrading. Self-cured bonding materials were truly replaced with light cure ones, which provide an added advantage of controlled curing time and ease of operation. The light cure bonding material needs a specific light cure device for its curing. These devices have also undergone major changes in the past years. Halogen light cure devices were replaced by plasma arc, and recently, market is now flooded with light emitting diode light cure devices. However, literature search failed to reveal any review on this aspect. Hence, the author felt the need to review this untrodden topic. This article deals in detail with the various light cure devices used in orthodontics.

Abstract:
Aims:
The study aims to investigate the normal dimensions of the frontal sinus and determine the role of the frontal sinus in various skeletal malocclusions and also to analyze the relationship between the length of the mandible and frontal sinus dimension.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 120 lateral cephalograms were selected according to the criteria and were grouped mainly into three groups: Group 1 – Class I (N = 40), Group 2 – Class II (n = 40), and Group 3 – Class III (n = 40). These were traced and analyzed by recording the linear measurements such as maximum width, maximum height, area of frontal sinus region, and the length of the mandible. To compare the difference between the skeletal classes, one-way ANOVA test was performed followed by post hoc with Sidak and Bonferroni statistical tests.
Results:
There was no such significant difference in the measurements of maximum width, height, and area of frontal sinus region of classes I, II, and III.
Conclusions:
After analyzing the linear dimensions, we found out that there is a significant difference in height, width, and area of the frontal sinus region with respect to classes I, II, and III. Therefore, we can say that the frontal sinus plays a significant role in depicting skeletal malocclusions.

Abstract:
Background:
In the field of orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, for treatment of malocclusion, diagnosis of facial skeletal type is one of the important aspects. Sometimes, cephalograms are not enough to determine the facial skeletal pattern. Hence, the relationship between sella turcica and other facial skeletal patterns can guide us to determine the proper facial skeletal type and can also help in treatment planning.
Aims:
The aim of the study was to investigate the normalcy of the dimensions of sella turcica and comparison of the relationship of sella turcica with different skeletal malocclusions.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 90 pretreatment digital lateral cephalograms were selected according to the criteria and grouped into 3 groups: Group 1: Class I (n = 30), Group 2: Class II (n = 30), and Group 3: Class III (n = 30). Lateral cephalograms were traced and studied on the basis of sella turcica. The following linear measurements were recorded: length, depth, and diameter of the sella.
Statistical Analysis Used:
Data were subjected to descriptive analysis for mean and standard deviation of all variables and ranges. ANOVA and a post hoc test (Bonferroni and Sidak) were used for multiple comparisons. P <0.05 was considered as the level for statistically significant data.
Results:
The linear measurements of length and diameter showed statistically significant differences in Class I, Class II, and Class III (P = 0.005). However, depth showed no statistically significant difference in the groups.
Conclusions:
The importance of sella turcica is established and normalcy is set by statistical analysis, and the standard values are given for the dimensions of the sella turcica. This can be used for further analysis and reference standards for the Indian population. The length and diameter were statistically significant with different groups. The largest value was given in Class III.

Abstract:
Objective of the Study:
This study aimed to study the cephalometric features of Jordanian patients diagnosed with ß-thalassemia major and compare their dental development with their chronological age.
Subjects and Methods:
This was a case–control study. Lateral cephalometric radiographs of 27 thalassemia patients and controls (matched for age and ethnic origin) were analyzed and compared. Panoramic radiographs of 18 thalassemia patients were analyzed by the Demirjian system to assess their dental development and compare with their chronological age using t-test, with P < 0.05 set as the level of statistical significance.
Results:
Thalassemia patients exhibited a highly significant difference, compared to the controls, in sagittal relationship (ANB), mandibular plane inclination (MxP/MnP), anterior rotation of the maxilla (SN/Mxp), the ratio of posterior to anterior face height, and the upper incisors' distance to the maxillary base (P < 0.005). Prominent upper and lower lips (P < 0.001) and an acute nasolabial angle (P < 0.05) were evident in thalassemia patients compared to controls. Thalassemia patients had a delay in dental development with advancing age. Furthermore, there was a statistically significant correlation (P < 0.001) between the extent of this delay and chronological age, which indicates that the delay increases, as the patient gets older.
Conclusions:
Jordanian ß-thalassemia major patients have a Class II skeletal pattern, a prominent vertical growth direction of the mandible, protruded upper and lower lips, and proclined upper incisors. Furthermore, they have a delay in dental development with advancing age.

Abstract:
Objectives:
This study aimed to determine the position of the incisors and its effects on the profile, identify any possible gender differences, and compare the maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth positions between participants of short, average, and long faces.
Materials and Methods:
This study comprised cephalometric radiographs of 82 participants (male: 42, female: 40) with a mean age of 21.9 ± 2.8 years. The participants were divided into three groups: short face group: Frankfort mandibular plane angle (FMA) <25°, average face group: FMA ≥25°–<30°, and long face group: FMA ≥30°. Seven linear and eight angular measurements were measured and compared between the three groups.
Results:
No gender differences were found. The short face participants tend to have more proclined lower incisors, more protruded chin, more mandibular incisor display, and more retrusive upper lip position than the average and long face groups.
Conclusions:
The short face participants tend to have more proclined lower incisor, more protruded chin, a more mandibular incisor display, and more retrusive upper lip position than the average face and long face groups.

Abstract:
Maxillary hypoplasia is a constant feature among patients with cleft lip and palate (CLP), more pronounced in sagittal and transverse dimensions. Transverse maxillary deficiency is first addressed using various expansion appliances. Due to the excessive scarring on the palatal tissue, there is a high chance of relapse of the expansion achieved, and the challenge is to hold the results achieved. Palatal arch holding appliance is commonly used to prevent relapse and to maintain the achieved expansion. Management of difficult cases like bilateral CLP (BCLP) demands speeding up the pace of treatment by innovations in the appliance structures or treatment procedures to shorten the treatment period. This article attempts to address the reduction in the total treatment time in BCLP patients with a clinical modification of conventional treatment modality.

Abstract:
A major factor determining if early correction of an anterior crossbite will be stable is the achievement of a positive overbite. A clinician should avoid extracting maxillary teeth in Class III cases to contain the forward growth of the mandible. This article presents a case report of a pseudo Class III patient with anterior crossbite and maxillary blocked out canines, based on the best available evidence. We hereby propose a combination of rapid maxillary expansion with 2 × 4 appliance to provide a predictable and effective approach to managing pseudo Class III treatment with blocked out canines (moderate crowding) that were once considered implausible. A clinician should avoid extracting maxillary teeth in Class III cases to contain the forward growth of the mandible.

Abstract:
A relatively smaller number of orthodontic patients are affected by known craniofacial anomalies that affect oral and dental tissues. The greatest advantage in knowing that a patient has a particular syndrome is that it allows a much better prediction of future development that might happen in such individual and necessary precautions to be taken while management of these cases. This case report provides features of a patient with Klippel–Feil syndrome and orthosurgical management of an adult male to effectively improve patient esthetics and function.

Abstract:
Objective:
This study aims to examine and correlate the position and orientation of the hyoid bone in Class I, Class II and Class III malocclusions.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 90 pretreatment digital lateral cephalograms were chosen in accordance with the established criteria and categorized into three groups, namely: Class I (n = 30), Class II (n = 37), and Class III (n = 23) malocclusions. The lateral cephalograms were traced and various linear and angular parameters such as MPH, H-NL, H-Go, H-Me, H-FH, H-C3, NSH, and H-NL were measured. The standard deviation and arithmetic mean values were computed for every measurement, after which independent t-test was conducted to study the variations between the skeletal classes of malocclusions.
Results:
The linear measurements of H-Me and H-C3 were found to be statistically significant. The angular measurements of SNA and ANB were also statistically significant and indicated the dissimilarities in the different classes of malocclusions. The anteroposterior position of hyoid bone was established, but the superoinferior positioning was found to be statistically insignificant.
Conclusion:
A significant difference occurs in the position and orientation of Hyoid Bone in relation to its surrounding structures in Class I, II, and III malocclusions. The hyoid bone is more anteriorly placed in Class III malocclusions than Class II which is more posteriorly placed. The superoinferior positioning of hyoid bone was found to be statistically insignificant in this study.
