Abstract
INTRODUCTION There is currently no consensus in the literature whether the aetiology of a Class II subdivision is dental, skeletal or both. The aim of this study was to identify and quantify skeletal and dental asymmetries in Class II subdivision malocclusions. METHODS CBCTs from 33 Class II subdivision malocclusion patients were used to construct 3D volumetric label maps. Eighteen landmarks were identified. The original scan and associated 3D volumetric label map were mirrored. Registration of the original and mirrored images relative to the anterior cranial base, maxilla and mandible were performed. Surface models were generated, and 3D differences were quantified. Statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS Anterior cranial base registration showed significant differences for fossa vertical difference, fossa roll, mandibular yaw, mandibular lateral displacement and lower midline displacement. Regional registrations showed significant differences for antero-posterior (A-P) mandibular length, maxillary roll, A-P maxillary first molar position, maxillary first molar yaw and maxillary first molar roll. Class II subdivision patients also show an asymmetric mandibular length as well as an asymmetric gonial angle. Moderate correlations were found between the A-P molar relationship and fossa A-P difference, mandibular first molar A-P difference, maxillary first molar A-P difference and maxillary first molar yaw. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that Class II subdivisions can result from both significant skeletal and dental factors. Skeletal factors include a shorter mandible as well as posterior and higher displacement of the fossa on the Class II side, resulting in mandibular yaw. Dental factors include maxillary and mandibular first molar antero-posterior asymmetry.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in endochondral development-related genes and mandibular condyle shape, size, volume, and symmetry traits. Cone-beam Computed Tomographies and genomic DNA from 118 individuals were evaluated (age range: 15-66 years). Data from twelve 3D landmarks on mandibular condyles were submitted to morphometric analyses including Procrustes fit, principal component analysis, and estimation of centroid sizes and fluctuating asymmetry scores. Condylar volumes were additionally measured. Seven SNPs across BMP2, BMP4, RUNX2 and SMAD6 were genotyped. Linear models were fit to evaluate the effect of the SNPs on the mandibular condyles' quantitative traits. Only the association between BMP2 rs1005464 and centroid size remained significant after adjusting to account for the false discovery rate due to multiple testing. Individuals carrying at least one A allele for this SNP showed larger condylar size than common homozygotes GG (β = 0.043; 95% CI: 0.014-0.071; P value = 0.028). The model including BMP2 rs1005464, age and sex of the participants explained 17% of the variation in condylar size. Shape, volume, and symmetry were not associated with the evaluated SNPs. These results suggest that BMP2 rs1005464 might be associated with variation in the mandibular condyles size.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the difference in labial and palatal alveolar bone thickness and height during the retention period after incisor retraction treatment with microimplant. MATERIALS AND METHODS A sample of 21 patients (mean age: 17.80 ± 4.38 years) who underwent incisor retraction treatment using microimplants after premolar extraction was investigated. The cone-beam computed tomography images at pretreatment, posttreatment, and retention were used to measure anterior alveolar bone thickness (labial, palatal, and total; at three vertical levels) and height (labial and palatal) and differences in the incisor position during treatment or retention. Repeated-measures analysis of variance with Bonferroni correction was performed to compare the variables at T0, T1, and T2. RESULTS The maxillary central incisor moved posteriorly by approximately 8.0 mm along with intrusive movement of 1.8 mm after treatment. The alveolar bone thickness significantly decreased on the palatal side and increased on the labial side after treatment. Thereafter, the palatal bone thickness significantly increased and labial bone thickness decreased during the retention period. The palatal interdental bone depressed by incisor retraction showed substantial bone deposition after retention. CONCLUSIONS Radiographic palatal bone dehiscences on the incisor root and palatal bone depression between the incisor roots were apparent after treatment. This palatal bone loss around the incisor roots noticeably recovered with newly formed bone during retention.

Abstract
PURPOSE Superimposition of digital dental-arch models allows quantification of orthodontic tooth movements (OTM). Currently, this procedure requires stable reference surfaces usually only present in the maxilla. This study aimed to investigate the accuracy of a novel superimposition approach based on biomechanical principles of OTM and the equilibrium of forces and moments (EFM)-applicable in both jaws-for monitoring and simulating large OTM. METHODS The study included 7 patients who had undergone extraction of the first (PM1-Ex) or second (PM2-Ex) premolar in each quadrant. Digital models taken at start and end of the T‑Loop treatment phase were superimposed by applying 3 EFM variants differing in the number of teeth used for registration. Maxillary OTM results for EFM were validated against those for a conventional surface registration method (SRM). In an additional case study, OTM were simulated for PM1-Ex, PM2-Ex and non-extraction treatment strategies. RESULTS The EFM variant that included all teeth of the dental arch achieved the highest accuracy, with median translational and rotational OTM deviations from SRM of only 0.37 mm and 0.56°, respectively. On average, retracted canines and first premolars were distalized by 3.0 mm, accompanied by 6.2° distal crown tipping and 12.2° distorotation. The share of space closure by molar mesialization was 19.4% for PM1-Ex quadrants and 34.5% for PM2-Ex quadrants. CONCLUSION EFM allows accurate OTM quantification relative to the maxillary and mandibular bases even in challenging situations involving large OTM. Superimposition of malocclusion and setup models enables realistic simulation of final tooth positions. This may greatly enhance the value of digital setups for decision-making in orthodontic treatment planning.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to quantify the outcomes of adolescent patients with Class II malocclusion treated with the Carriere Motion 3D Appliance (CMA) combined with full fixed appliances. METHODS Cone-beam computed tomography scans of 22 patients were available before orthodontic treatment (T1), at removal of the CMA (T2), and posttreatment (T3). The average age of the patients was 13.5 ± 1.6 years at T1, 14.1 ± 0.2 years at T2, and 15.6 ± 0.5 years at T3. The 3-dimensional image analysis procedures were performed using ITK-SNAP (version 3.6.0; www.itksnap.org, Hatfield, Pa) and SlicerCMF (version 4.11.0; http://www.slicer.org, Cambridge, Mass); skeletal and dentoalveolar changes relative to cranial base, maxillary, and mandibular regional superimpositions were evaluated. RESULTS Changes were analyzed with 1 sample t tests using the mean differences during the CMA phase (T1 to T2) and total treatment time (T1 to T3). Significant skeletal changes included a slight reduction of ANB from T1 to T3, mandibular growth (Co-Gn increment of 1.2 mm and 3.3 mm from T1 to T2 and T1 to T3, respectively), inferior displacement of point A, and anterior and inferior displacement of point B. The mandibular plane did not change significantly during treatment. During the CMA treatment, posterior tipping and distal rotation of the maxillary molars, tip back and inferior displacement of the maxillary canines, significant mesial rotation, and superior displacement of the mandibular molars were observed. These movements rebounded during the full fixed appliance phase except for the molar and canine vertical displacements. Clinically significant dental changes during treatment included a reduction in overjet and overbite, Class II correction of the molar and canine relationship, and proclination of the mandibular incisors. CONCLUSIONS The CMA is an effective treatment modality for Class II correction in growing patients because of a combination of mesial movement of the mandibular molar, distal rotation of the maxillary molar, and anterior displacement of the mandible.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate maxillomandibular morphology in hyperdivergent and hypodivergent individuals, using 3D surface models generated by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). METHODS The sample consisted of 60 CBCTs (30 males, 30 females) patients aged 12-30 years, divided into two groups comprising hyperdivergent (≥35°) and hypodivergent (≤30°) individuals, according to the mandibular plane (MP) angle. Multiplanar reconstructions were used to mark the landmarks, and 3D surface models were created to evaluate structures of the maxillomandibular complex, including condyle, ramus, symphysis and palatal height. Intergroup comparisons were performed by independent t-test. Pearson's correlation test was used (P < .05) to evaluate the correlation of the MP angle with the angles and linear measurements of other structures. RESULTS Significant differences were found between the groups regarding condylar width, ramus height, condylar plus ramus height, mandibular length, gonial angle, palatal plane angle and palatal-mandibular angle. No differences (P > .05) were found for the condylar height, symphysis inclination angle or palatal height. Correlations (P < .05) were found between the MP angle and structures of the maxillomandibular complex. CONCLUSIONS Hyperdivergent (MP ≥ 35°) and hypodivergent (MP ≤ 30°) individuals present different skeletal morphology regarding condylar width, ramus height, condylar plus ramus height, mandibular length, gonial angle, palatal plane angle and palatal-mandibular angle. There is a significant correlation between MP angle and morphological structures such as condyle, ramus, symphysis, palatal plane angle and palatal-mandibular angle.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Assessment of growth-related or treatment-related changes in the maxilla requires a reliable method of superimposition. Such methods are well established for two-dimensional (2D) cephalometric images but not yet for three-dimensions (3D). The aims of this study were to identify natural reference structures (NRS) for the maxilla in growing patients in 3D, opportunistically using orthodontic mini-screws as reference; and to test the applicability of the proposed NRS for maxillary superimposition by assessing the concordance of this approach with Björk's 'stable reference structures' in lateral projection. METHODS The stability of the mini-screws was tested on longitudinal pairs of pre- and post-orthodontic cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images by measuring the distance changes between screws. After verifying the stability of the mini-screws, rigid registration was performed for aligning the stable mini-screws. Then, non-rigid registration was used to establish the dense voxel-correspondence among CBCT images and calculate the displacement of each voxel belonging to the maxilla relative to the mini-screws. The displacement vectors were transformed to a standardized maxillary template to categorize the stability of the internal structures statistically. Those voxels that displaced less relative to the mini-screws were considered as the natural reference structures (NRS) for the maxilla. Test samples included another dataset of longitudinal CBCT scans. They were used to evaluate the applicability of the proposed NRS for maxillary superimposition. We assessed whether aligning the maxilla with proposed NRS is in concordance with the maxillary internal reference structures superimposition in the traditional 2D lateral view as suggested by Björk. This was quantitively assessed by comparing the mean sagittal and vertical tooth movements for both superimposition methods. RESULTS The stability of the mini-screws was tested on 10 pairs of pre- and post-orthodontic cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images (T1: 12.9 ± 0.8 yrs, T2: 14.8 ± 0.7 yrs). Both the loaded and the unloaded mini-screws were shown to be stable during orthodontic treatment, which indicates that they can be used as reference points. By analyzing the deformation map of the maxilla, we confirmed that the infraorbital rims, maxilla around the piriform foramen, the infrazygomatic crest and the hard palate (palatal vault more than 1 cm distal to incisor foramen except the palatal suture) were stable during growth. Another dataset of longitudinal CBCT scans (T1: 12.2 ± 0.63 yrs, T2: 15.2 ± 0.96 yrs) was used to assess the concordance of this approach with Björk's 'stable reference structures'. The movement of the maxillary first molar and central incisor showed no statistically significant difference when superimposing the test images with the proposed NRS or with the classic Björk maxillary superimposition in the lateral view. CONCLUSIONS The infraorbital rims, maxilla around the piriform foramen, the infrazygomatic crest and the hard palate (palatal vault more than 1 cm posterior to incisal foramen except the palatal suture) were identified as stable regions in the maxilla. These stable structures can be used for maxillary superimposition in 3D and generate comparable results to Björk superimposition in the lateral view.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the transverse dental and skeletal changes in patients treated with bone-anchored palatal expander (bone-borne, BB) compared to patients treated with tooth and bone-anchored palatal expanders (tooth-bone-borne, TBB) using cone-beam computer tomography (CBCT) and 3D image analysis. METHODS The sample comprised 30 patients with transverse maxillary discrepancy treated with two different types of appliances: bone-borne (Group BB) and tooth-bone-borne (Group TBB) expanders. CBCT scans were acquired before (T1) and after completion of maxillary expansion (T2); the interval was 5.4 ± 3.4 and 6.2 ± 2.1 months between the T1 and the T2 scans of Group TBB (tooth-bone-borne) and Group BB (bone-borne), respectively. Transverse, anteroposterior and vertical linear and angular three-dimensional dentoskeletal changes were assessed after cranial base superimposition. RESULTS Both groups displayed marked transverse skeletal expansion with a greater ratio of skeletal to dental changes. Greater changes at the nasal cavity, zygoma and orbital levels were found in Group BB. A relatively parallel sutural opening in an anterior-posterior direction was observed in Group TBB; however, the Group BB presented a somewhat triangular (V-shaped) opening of the suture that was wider anteriorly. Small downward-forward displacements were observed in both groups. Asymmetric expansion occurred in approximately 50% of the patients in both groups. CONCLUSION Greater skeletal vs dental expansion ratio and expansion of the circummaxillary regions were found in Group BB, the group in which a bone-borne expander was used. Both groups presented skeletal and dental changes, with a similar amount of posterior palate expansion. Asymmetric expansion was observed in both groups.

Abstract
Treatment effects occurring during Class II malocclusion treatment with the clear aligner mandibular advancement protocol were evaluated in two growing patients: one male (12 years, 3 months) and one female (11 years, 9 months). Both patients presented with full cusp Class II molar and canine relationships. Intraoral scans and cone-beam computed tomography were acquired before treatment and after mandibular advancement. Three-dimensional skeletal and dental long-axis changes were quantified, in which the dental long axis was determined by registering the dental crowns obtained from intraoral scans to the root canals in cone-beam computed tomography scans obtained at the same time points. Class II correction was achieved by a combination of mandibular skeletal and dental changes. A similar direction of skeletal and dental changes was observed in both patients, with downward and forward displacement of the mandible resulting from the growth of the mandibular condyle and ramus. Dental changes in both patients included mesialization of the mandibular posterior teeth with flaring of mandibular anterior teeth. In these two patients, clear aligner mandibular advancement was an effective treatment modality for Class II malocclusion correction with skeletal and dental effects and facial profile improvement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Cephalometric superimpositions have many uses in orthodontics, including growth evaluation and outcome assessment. However, 2-dimensional (2D) cephalograms can be distorted and yield incomplete 2D data. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging provides a 3-dimensional (3D), undistorted, and more complete patient analysis. CBCT imaging provides many unique advantages to the orthodontic practice and can influence how treatment outcomes are assessed. This study aimed to investigate the validity of 3D maxillary voxel-based superimpositions compared with the 2D method recommended by the American Board of Orthodontists. METHODS This retrospective study included pretreatment and posttreatment CBCT images of 30 adolescent patients. The images were superimposed using the 3D voxel-based tools in Dolphin Imaging software (Dolphin Imaging and Management Solutions, Chatsworth, Calif). Two different 3D anatomic registration areas (3DA-3DB) were tested for the validity and reproducibility of the 3D maxillary superimpositions as compared with the 2D method. Linear and angular measurements were used to evaluate the dental changes of the maxillary right central incisor and first molar. Data distribution was normal by the Shapiro-Wilk W test. A mixed model analysis of variance test was done to compare the 3 superimposition types within each subject, followed by pairwise Tukey-Kramer comparisons when indicated. RESULTS After applying the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure to control the false discovery rate at 0.05 with multiple testing, the U1 vertical difference was statistically significant (P <0.0001) for the superimposition method, though the mean differences were clinically nonsignificant (0.52 mm, 0.76 mm). The U1 angular and U6 vertical differences were not statistically significant for the superimposition method (P = 0.3636 and P = 0.1863, respectively). CONCLUSIONS The 3D voxel-based maxillary superimpositions showed similar results to conventional 2D superimpositions recommended by the American Board of Orthodontists.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the three-dimensional (3-D) movement of maxillary teeth in response to three common miniscrew anchorage systems in extraction patients with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study employed a randomized controlled single-blinded design with three arms. Thirty extraction patients who required maximum anchorage to retract maxillary anterior teeth were included and randomly allocated into three treatment groups: space closure with direct miniscrew anchorage and low crimpable hooks (DL group), indirect miniscrew anchorage and low crimpable hooks (IL group), and direct miniscrew anchorage and high crimpable hooks (DH group). Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of all included patients were obtained immediately before (T0) and after (T1) space closure. The outcomes were 3-D positional changes of maxillary central incisor, lateral incisor, canine, second premolar, and first molar. The repeated measures analysis of variance with post hoc LSD test was used to evaluate differences among groups. RESULTS A significant intrusion (- 1.34 mm; 95% CI, - 1.60 mm, 1.08 mm) and buccal (- 6.92°; 95% CI, - 8.67°, - 5.13°) and distal (4.90°; 95% CI, 3.75°, 6.04°) inclination of the maxillary first molars were observed in the DL group, compared to the other two groups. The mesial movement (- 0.40 mm; 95% CI, - 0.83 mm, - 0.03 mm) of the maxillary first molars was found in the IL group, while the DL (0.44 mm; 95% CI, 0.15 mm, 0.73 mm) and IL (0.62 mm; 95% CI, 0.28 mm, 0.96 mm) groups exhibited distal movement. In the DH group, the lingual inclination changes of maxillary central incisor (5.04°; 95% CI, 2.82°, 7.26°) were significantly lower, which is indicative of good lingual root torque control of the maxillary anterior teeth. CONCLUSION Three miniscrew anchorage systems produced significantly different 3-D maxillary tooth movement. The maxillary first molars were significantly buccally and distally inclined and intruded in patients using direct miniscrew anchorages with low crimpable hooks. Direct miniscrew anchorages with high crimpable hooks could help to achieve better lingual root torque control of the maxillary incisors. Trial registration The trial was registered at www.chictr.org.cn (ChiCTR1900026960). Registered 27 October 2019.

Abstract
This randomized clinical trial aimed to compare the three-dimensional dentoalveolar maxillary changes after anterior open bite treatment with bonded spurs and build-ups versus bonded spurs alone. Patients from 7 to 11 years of age with anterior open bite were randomly allocated into two groups. Bonded spurs and posterior build-ups were used in the experimental group and only bonded spurs were used in the comparison group. The randomization sequence was generated at www.randomization.com. Opaque, sealed and sequentially numbered envelopes were part of the allocation concealment. Digital dental models were acquired before (T1) and after 12 months of treatment (T2) and de-identified for analysis purposes. Three-dimensional changes of maxillary permanent incisors and first molars were evaluated by means of T1 and T2 dental model superimposition. Landmark-based registration on the posterior teeth and registration on the palate using regions of interest were performed. T or Mann–Whitney U tests were used for intergroup comparisons (P < 0.05). Mean difference (MD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. Twenty-four children (17 girls and 7 boys) were included in the experimental group (mean age 8.22 ± 1.06 years) and 25 children (14 girls and 11 boys) were included in the comparison group (mean age 8.30 ± 0.99 years). After 12 months of treatment, inferior displacements of maxillary incisors were similar in the experimental (1.55–2.92 mm) and comparison (1.40–2.65 mm) groups. Inferior displacement of the maxillary molars was also similar in both groups (MD: − 0.13 mm; 95% CI − 0.38, 0.12). The experimental and comparison groups showed medial and lateral displacements of the permanent first molars, respectively (MD, − 0.31 mm; 95% CI − 0.51, − 0.11). Lingual inclination of the permanent first molars were observed in the experimental group and buccal inclination in the comparison group (MD, − 2.16°; 95% CI − 3.72, − 0.60). Similar three-dimensional displacements of maxillary central and lateral incisors, and inferior displacements of maxillary permanent first molars were observed in both groups. Bonded spurs associated with posterior build-ups demonstrated some medial displacement and lingual inclination of the maxillary permanent first molars while opposite changes were noticed in the comparison group.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate alveolar bone remodeling following incisor retraction treatment with microimplants and to examine the relationship between crown/root distal movement and thickness/height changes of the alveolus. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 24 patients (mean age, 19.29 ± 4.64 years) with bialveolar protrusion treated by incisor retraction with microimplants were included. The distances of the crown and root tip movements as well as the thickness (alveolar bone thickness [ABT]; labial, lingual, and total) and vertical level (vertical bone level [VBL]; labial and lingual) of the alveolar bone were assessed using cone-beam computed tomography images obtained before treatment (T1) and after treatment (T2). All T1 and T2 variables were compared, and further comparisons of alveolar bone changes were conducted between the two groups based on the distance of the crown (low-crown-movement and high-crown-movement groups) and root movements (low-root-movement and high-root-movement groups). To determine the correlation of the crown or root movement with the variables of alveolar bone changes, Pearson correlation coefficients were calculated. RESULTS Significant differences were found in all VBL and ABT variables after treatment in both jaws but not in total ABT. Based on the crown and root movements, alveolar bone change significantly differed between the root-movement groups, whereas there was no significant difference between the crown-movement groups. In addition, root movement showed significant correlations with the variables. CONCLUSIONS Remarkable changes in the height and thickness of alveolar bone were found after microimplant-aided incisor retraction treatment in all groups except for total ABT. Root movement was significantly correlated with the alveolar bone changes.

Abstract
ABSTRACT
Objectives
To evaluate root resorption of lower incisors and canines quantitatively in a group of patients who underwent orthodontic treatment with piezocision and/or a collagen reinforcement technique with a fully resorbable three-dimensional (3D) collagen xenograft matrix compared with a control group.
Materials and Methods
The study sample of this secondary analysis consisted of 32 periodontally healthy patients with angle Class I malocclusion or mild Class II or III malocclusion and moderate irregularity index scores who underwent orthodontic treatment and had before (T0) and after treatment (T1) cone-beam computed tomography scans. Root resorption of lower incisors and canines was assessed quantitatively in the following four groups: the control group received orthodontic treatment without piezocision, experimental group 1 received orthodontic treatment with piezocision, experimental group 2 received orthodontic treatment with piezocision and a 3D collagen matrix, and experimental group 3 received orthodontic treatment with a 3D collagen matrix.
Results
An overall statistically significant decrease in root length from T0 to T1 for all groups was observed (P < .05). However, there was no significant difference among the groups in the amount of root length decrease from T0 to T1.
Conclusions
Orthodontic treatment combined with piezocision does not increase the risk of root resorption of lower incisors and canines when compared with orthodontic treatment without acceleration techniques. More studies with larger samples should be undertaken to confirm these results.

Abstract
The aim of this longitudinal study was to evaluate the sagittal and vertical growth of the maxillo–mandibular complex in untreated children using orthogonal lateral cephalograms compressed from cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Two sets of scans, on 12 males (mean 8.75 years at T1, and 11.52 years at T2) and 18 females (mean 9.09 years at T1, and 10.80 years at T2), were analyzed using Dolphin 3D imaging. The displacements of the landmarks and rotations of both jaws relative to the cranial base were measured using the cranial base, and the maxillary and mandibular core lines. From T1 to T2, relative to the cranial base, the nasion, orbitale, A-point, and B-point moved anteriorly and inferiorly. The porion moved posteriorly and inferiorly. The ANB and mandibular plane angle decreased. All but one subject had forward rotation in reference to the cranial base. The maxillary and mandibular superimpositions showed no sagittal change on the A-point and B-point. The U6 and U1 erupted at 0.94 and 1.01 mm/year (males) and 0.82 and 0.95 mm/year (females), respectively. The L6 and L1 erupted at 0.66 and 0.88 mm/year (males), and at 0.41 mm/year for both the L6 and the L1 (females), respectively.

Abstract
Numerical simulation of long-term orthodontic tooth movement based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA) could help clinicians to plan more efficient and mechanically sound treatments. However, most of FEA studies assume idealized loading conditions and lack experimental calibration or validation. The goal of this paper is to propose a novel clinical protocol to accurately track orthodontic tooth displacement in three-dimensions (3D) and provide 3D models that may support FEA. Our protocol uses an initial cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan and several intra-oral scans (IOS) to generate 3D models of the maxillary bone and teeth ready for use in FEA. The protocol was applied to monitor the canine retraction of a patient during seven months. A second CBCT scan was performed at the end of the study for validation purposes. In order to ease FEA, a frictionless and statically determinate lingual device for maxillary canine retraction was designed. Numerical simulations were set up using the 3D models provided by our protocol to show the relevance of our proposal. Comparison of numerical and clinical results highlights the suitability of this protocol to support patient-specific FEA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to propose and validate a method for three-dimensional (3D) quantitative assessment of secondary alveolar bone grafting (SABG) and its stability in time for patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP). SETTINGS AND SAMPLE POPULATION Ten non-syndromic UCLP patients (9 males and 1 female with a mean age of 9.5 ± 0.9 years) undergoing SABG with good quality preoperative, immediate postoperative (6 weeks) and 6 months postoperative Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scans were selected. MATERIALS AND METHODS The preoperative and 6 months postoperative scans were registered onto the immediate postoperative scan. The bone-grafted region was defined on the immediate postoperative scan and refined on the registered preoperative scan resulting in a 3D volume. The residual bone graft was calculated by applying threshold based segmentation on the registered 6 months postoperative scan within the segmented bone graft volume of the previous step. Inter and intra observer tests using intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) were applied comparing the volumes of the 3D models. RESULTS An excellent reliability was found for inter and intra observers with ICC ≥ 0.95. CONCLUSIONS The presented method proved to be reliable for volumetric assessment of the alveolar bone graft in UCLP patients, as well as to assess the percentage of bone resorption during follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare and assess the reproducibility of 3 methods for registration of maxillary digital dental models in patients with anterior open bite. Settings and sample population Digital dental models of 16 children with an anterior open bite in the mixed dentition were obtained before (T1) and after 12 months of treatment with bonded spurs (T2). METHODS Landmarks were placed on all T2 models and 3 registration methods (R1, R2 and R3) were independently performed by 2 observers. R1 was based on 10 landmarks placed on posterior teeth. R2 was based on 5 landmarks on the palate (2 anterior, 2 posterior and 1 central). R3 used regions of interest around the 5 palatal landmarks used in R2. The differences between the registration methods were calculated by comparing the mean differences and standard deviations between the corresponding x, y and z coordinates of 6 corresponding landmarks in the T2 registered models. Repeated measures analysis of variance followed by post-hoc Bonferroni tests were used for comparisons (P < .05). The agreement between methods and the intra and interobserver reproducibility were assessed with Bland-Altman tests and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). RESULTS Comparisons of R2 with R3 methods showed greater agreement, mean differences ≤0.50 mm for all landmarks, than comparisons of R1 with R2, and R1 with R3, mean differences >0.50 mm for most of the y and z coordinates (P < .05). The R1 and R3 methods presented excellent intra and interobserver reproducibility and R2 method had moderate interobserver reproducibility. CONCLUSIONS Longitudinal assessments of open bite treatment using digital dental models could consider the posterior teeth and/or the palate as references. The R1 and R3 methods showed adequate reproducibility and yield different quantitative results. The choice will depend on the posterior teeth changes and dental models' characteristics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objectives of this study were to evaluate postsurgical condylar remodeling using a radiographical interpretation, quantify condylar volumetric asymmetry, and assess soft tissue symmetry after simultaneous unilateral high condylectomy and bimaxillary osteotomies. METHODS Sixteen patients diagnosed with unilateral condylar hyperplasia underwent unilateral high condylectomy and orthognathic surgery to correct skeletal and facial asymmetries. Cone-beam computed tomography scans were acquired before and 1-year after surgery. A radiographic consensus was evaluated for signs of reparative or degenerative changes. The condyles were mirrored and registered for assessment of volumetric and morphologic asymmetry. Soft tissue symmetry was evaluated by measurement of the distance of soft tissue pogonion from the skeletal midsagittal plane. RESULTS Patients who undergo unilateral high condylectomy and orthognathic surgery present radiographic signs suggestive of degenerative changes, including sclerosis, osteophytes, flattening, and erosion in both the surgical and nonsurgical condyles (P ≤0.01). There was an average volumetric improvement of 531.9 ± 662.3 mm3 1-year postsurgery (P = 0.006). Soft tissue symmetry improved in all patients, with an average improvement of 65.8% (4.0 mm ± 2.6 mm, P ≤ 0.01). There was no correlation between the change in condylar volumetric asymmetry and the stability of the soft tissue correction. CONCLUSIONS High condylectomy for the correction of a skeletal asymmetry in patients with condylar hyperplasia successfully reduces the volumetric asymmetry between the condyles. Postsurgical dysmorphic remodeling and degenerative changes were noted in both the surgical and nonsurgical condyles. Despite remarkable changes and remaining joint asymmetry, the soft tissue correction is stable 1-year postsurgery.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this research was to compare three cephalometric analyses and their correlation with the airway volume in subjects with different skeletal classes using 2D and 3D images. Study Design. Cross-sectional descriptive study. Material and Method. Steiner, McNamara, and Ricketts analyses and the airway volume were compared in 115 subjects who were candidates for orthognathic surgery under diagnosis using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT); 46 males (40%) and 69 females (60%) were included. The sagittal positions of the maxilla and mandible, the angulation of the mandibular plane, the sagittal positions of the upper and lower incisors, measurements of the largest or shortest airway area, and the volume were compared using Spearman's test considering a p value < 0.05. Results Differences were observed between the Steiner and McNamara techniques for the sagittal position of the maxilla (p = 0.01). For mandibular angulation, there was a greater difference between values for Steiner and Ricketts techniques (p = 0.001). In the upper incisor, the results for McNamara and Ricketts techniques were significantly different (p = 0.004). Analysing the airway, subjects with a class II skeletal pattern had a smaller volume than those with a class III pattern (p = 0.034). Conclusion It may be concluded that skeletal class II patients have a significantly smaller airway volume than class III patients. The skeletal parameter does not always relate to the airway volume; however, the high mandibular angle could be related to the airway conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Standard methods of evaluating tooth long axes are not comparable (digital dental models [DDMs], panoramic and cephalometric radiographs) or expose patients to more radiation (cone-beam computed tomography [CBCT]). This study aimed to compare angular changes in tooth long axes using DDMs vs using CBCTs. SETTINGS AND SAMPLE POPULATION Secondary data analysis of DDMs and CBCTs, taken before and after orthodontic treatment with piezocision of 24 patients. METHODS Angular changes in tooth long axes were evaluated using landmarks on first molars (centre of the occlusal surface and centre of the furcation), canines and incisors (cusp tip and centre of the root at the cementoenamel junction). Wilcoxon test, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman plots were used to test intra- and inter-rater agreement and compare DDM and CBCT measurements. RESULTS The mesiodistal angulation and buccolingual inclination DDM measurements were reproducible. Overall mean differences between DDM and CBCT measurements of mesiodistal angulation, 1.9°±1.5°, and buccolingual inclination, 2.2 ± 2.2°, were not significant for all teeth. ICC between DDM and CBCT measurements ranged from good (0.85 molars) to excellent (0.94 canines; 0.96 incisors). The percentages of measurements outside the range of ±5 were 17.4% for molars, 13.8% for canines and 4.5% for incisors. CONCLUSIONS DDM assessment of changes in tooth long axes has good reproducibility and yields comparable measurements to those obtained from CBCT within a 5° range. These findings lay the groundwork for machine learning approaches that synthesize crown and root canal information towards planning tooth movement without the need for ionizing radiation scans.

Abstract
Purpose This study was performed to investigate mandibular canal displacement in patients with ameloblastoma using a 3-dimensional mirrored-model analysis. Materials and Methods The sample consisted of computed tomographic scans of patients with ameloblastoma (n=10) and healthy controls (n=20). The amount of mandibular canal asymmetry was recorded as a continuous variable, while the buccolingual (yaw) and supero-inferior (pitch) directions of displacement were classified as categorical variables. The t-test for independent samples and the Fisher exact test were used to compare groups in terms of differences between sides and the presence of asymmetric inclinations, respectively (P<0.05). Results The length of the mandibular canal was similar on both sides in both groups. The ameloblastoma group presented more lateral (2.40±4.16 mm) and inferior (−1.97±1.92 mm) positions of the mental foramen, and a more buccal (1.09±2.75 mm) position of the middle canal point on the lesion side. Displacement of the mandibular canal tended to be found in the anterior region in patients with ameloblastoma, occurring toward the buccal and inferior directions in 60% and 70% of ameloblastoma patients, respectively. Conclusion Mandibular canal displacement due to ameloblastoma could be detected by this superimposed mirrored method, and displacement was more prevalent toward the inferior and buccal directions. This displacement affected the mental foramen position, but did not lead to a change in the length of the mandibular canal. The control group presented no mandibular canal displacement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study evaluated whether presurgical characteristics, the magnitude of mandibular advancement, and changes in mandibular plane angle are correlated with long-term stability and postsurgical condylar remodeling and adaptations using 3-dimensional imaging. METHODS Forty-two patients underwent bilateral sagittal split osteotomies for mandibular advancement using rigid fixation. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were acquired before surgery (T1), immediately after surgery (T2), and at long-term follow-up (T3). The average follow-up period was 5.3 ± 1.7 years after surgery. Anatomic landmark identification on the cone-beam computed tomographies and subsequent quantification of the changes from T1 to T2 and T2 to T3 were performed in ITK-SNAP (version 2.4; itksnap.org) and 3DSlicer (version 4.7; http://www.slicer.org) software. Surgical displacements, mandibular plane angle changes, and skeletal stability were measured relative to cranial base superimposition, whereas condylar remodeling was measured relative to regional condylar registration. Partial correlation coefficients were used to assess relationships between clinical and surgical variables, condylar remodeling, and long-term surgical relapse while controlling for variability in the length of follow-up. RESULTS B-point relapsed more than 2 mm posteriorly in 55% of the patients. The only variables strongly associated with the posterior movement of B-point long-term were mesial yaw of the condyle during surgery (P ≤0.01) and the length of follow-up from T2 to T3 (P ≤ 0.01). There was no relationship between the magnitude of advancement or presurgical mandibular plane angle and relapse or condylar resorption. Condylar resorption was strongly associated with relapse of B-point in the posterior direction (P ≤0.01) and clockwise rotation of the mandibular plane long-term (P ≤0.01). Twenty-nine percent of subjects showed resorption of more than 2 mm in the inferior direction at the lateral pole, and 17% of the subjects showed resorption of more than 2 mm in the inferior direction at condylion. Compared with male subjects, females exhibited significantly greater condylar remodeling (P ≤0.01) and slightly greater relapse at B-point (P ≤0.05). CONCLUSIONS Surgical relapse at B-point may occur slowly over time and is primarily due to condylar resorption in mandibular advancement patients. Mesial yaw of the condyle during surgery may lead to condylar resorption postsurgically. In addition, females are at greater risk of condylar resorption postsurgically.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare the maxillary dentoskeletal outcomes of the expander with differential opening (EDO) and the fan-type expander (FE). MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty-eight patients with maxillary arch constriction in the mixed dentition were randomly allocated into EDO and FE groups. Cone-beam computed tomography scans were acquired before and after expansion. Linear and angular three-dimensional changes were assessed after cranial base superimposition using the ITK-SNAP and the 3D Slicer software. T or Mann-Whitney U tests were used for intergroup comparisons (P<0.05). RESULTS The EDO group comprised 24 patients treated with the EDO (13 female, 11 male; 7.6 years). The FE group comprised 24 patients treated with the FE (14 female, 10 male; 7.8 years). Skeletal lateral displacements were greater in the EDO group with greater expansion in the orbital, nasal cavity, zygomatic bone, and palate regions (mean intergroup differences of 0.4, 0.8, 0.9, and 1.1 mm, respectively). Intercanine expansion and canine buccal inclination were greater in the FE group, while intermolar distance changes and molar buccal inclination were greater in the EDO group. Similar changes were observed for vertical and anteroposterior displacements and palatal plane rotation. CONCLUSIONS The EDO produced greater transverse skeletal expansion compared to the FE, with similar vertical and anteroposterior effects. Dental changes were greater in the molar region for patients treated with the EDO and in the canine region for patients treated with the FE. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The EDO and the FE are capable of producing skeletal changes in the mixed dentition. The decision between both expanders will depend on the amount of expansion required in the molar region and in the nasomaxillary complex. TRIAL REGISTRATION The trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov , under the identifier NCT03705871.

Abstract
Objective The aim of this study was to propose and validate a three‐dimensional (3D) methodology for the assessment of canine eruption in patients born with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) following secondary alveolar bone graft (SABG). Methods and Materials A total of 10 patients (four females, six males; mean age: 8.8 years) with UCLP who underwent SABG were recruited. Pre‐ and 6‐month post‐operative cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) was acquired for all patients. Post‐operative data was registered onto pre‐operative data utilizing voxel‐based registration. Following superimposition, a segmentation process was applied to segment maxillary canine on both cleft and non‐cleft side. Thereafter, translational and rotational changes in canine position were assessed for both cleft and non‐cleft side by two observers. Results The intra‐class correlation coefficient (ICC) indicated excellent reliability (≥0.90) with inter and intra‐observer error of less than 0.05 mm. The overall ICC was found to be high for assessing both translational and rotational changes. The mean absolute inter‐ and intra‐observer difference for translational and rotational changes was found to be less than 1 mm and 3°. Conclusion The present method was found to be reliable proving to be clinically applicable for assessing maxillary canine eruption changes in both cleft and non‐cleft bone.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the present study was to compare two different anchorage systems efficiency to disinclude impacted maxillary canines using as evaluation tool superimposed Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCTs). METHODS The study has been conducted with two parallel groups with an allocation ratio of 1:1. Group test received treatment using as anchorage a miniscrew, control group was treated using an anchorage unit a trans palatal arch (TPA). Both groups received a calibrated traction force of 50 g. CBCT before treatment and 3 months after traction were superimposed and canine tip and root movement were evaluated in mm/month ratio. RESULTS No differences were observed between groups for apex displacement, tip displacement and observation timespan. Twenty-two patients (12 female, 10 male, mean age:13.4 years) undergoing orthodontic treatment for impacted maxillary canines were recruited for this study. No differences were observed between groups for apex displacement, tip displacement and observation timespan. CONCLUSIONS The present pilot study provided no evidence that indirect anchorage on miniscrews could make canine disimpaction faster than anchorage on a TPA. An apex root movement of 0.4-0.8 mm per month was found, while average canine tip movement ranged between 1.08 mm and 1.96 mm per month. No miniscrews failures were observed. TRIAL REGISTRATION The study reports the preliminary results of the randomized clinical trial registered at www.register.clinicaltrials.gov (registration number: NCT01717417 ).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purposes of this research were to identify the buccolingual inclinations of the mandibular teeth and the mandibular symphysis remodeling that result from the orthodontic decompensation movement. METHODS The sample consisted of 30 adults with Class III dentofacial deformity, who had presurgical orthodontic treatment. Three-dimensional images were generated by cone-beam computed tomography scans at 2 different times (initial and before orthognathic surgery). Three-dimensional virtual models were obtained and superimposed using automated voxel-based registration at the mandible to evaluate B-point displacement, mandibular molar and incisor decompensation movement, and symphysis inclination and thickness. The 3-dimensional displacements of landmarks at the symphysis were quantified and visualized with color-coded maps using 3D Slicer (version 4.0; www.slicer.org) software. RESULTS The measurements showed high reproducibility. The patients presented mandibular incisor proclination, which was consistent with the movement of tooth decompensation caused by the presurgical orthodontic treatment. Statistically significant correlations were found between the inclination of the mandibular incisors, symphysis inclination, and B-point displacement. Regarding the thickness of the symphysis and the inclination of the incisors, no statistically significant correlation was found. CONCLUSIONS The buccolingual orthodontic movement of the mandibular incisors with presurgical leveling is correlated with the inclination of the mandibular symphysis and repositioning of the B-point but not correlated to the thickness of the symphysis.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The increasing use of three-dimensional (3D) imaging in orthodontics has led to the development of 3D superimposition techniques. These techniques use stable anatomic structures as references in order to compare Cone Beam CT (CBCT) scans of the same subject at different time-points. Three methods have been described in the literature: landmark-based, surface-based and voxel-based 3D superimpositions. OBJECTIVE This article focuses on the voxel-based approach, which is the most described and the only one that can be fully automatized. The aim of this paper is to offer clinicians a practical tutorial on craniofacial voxel-based 3D superimposition. MATERIAL AND METHODS We provide an updated overview of the available implementation methods, describing their methodology, validations, main steps, advantages and drawbacks. The historical open-source method is the most widespread for research purposes, but takes around three hours to achieve for an experienced operator. Several commercially-available software perform superimpositions in a few minutes. RESULTS We used two of the available methods to conduct the superimposition process with three representative clinical cases in order to illustrate the different types of results that can be obtained. CONCLUSIONS Commercially-available software provide user-friendly and fully automatized superimposition methods, allowing clinicians to perform it easily and helping to reduce human error in image analysis. Still, quantitative evaluation of the results remains the main challenge of this technique.

Abstract
Treating skeletal class III malocclusions is one of the biggest challenges in Orthodontics. Given the complexity of these cases, orthognathic surgery is often the best treatment option. However, many patients refuse this treatment due to its risks, morbidity, and costs involved. Alternatively, dental compensation can be planned for some of these skeletal problems. This case report presents a dentoalveolar compensation in the orthodontic treatment of a 20-year-old female patient with class III malocclusion, concave profile, anterior crossbite, mandibular prognathism, maxillary retrusion, and a vertical deficiency in the posterior region. Treatment planning involved a multiloop edgewise archwire (MEAW) associated with intermaxillary elastics with counterclockwise rotation of the occlusal plane in the posterior region of the maxilla aiming at obtaining an increased posterior vertical dimension. After 24 months of treatment, the severe anterior crossbite was corrected, and the skeletal class III relationship was camouflaged. At the end of the orthodontic treatment, it was possible to observe an improved facial profile, a nice smile, and a functional occlusion. The results remained stable at a three-year follow-up. The MEAW, associated with the use of elastics, seems to be an effective treatment option for class III camouflage with reduced posterior vertical dimension with no need for additional anchoring devices but requiring adequate bending of wires and patient compliance.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to validate the applicability of using maxillary voxel-based dentoalveolar registration (VDAR) at long-term follow up in orthognathic surgical patients. A retrospective sample of 25 patients (skeletal class II or III) who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery was recruited and divided into two groups. Group A included 15 patients (seven females, eight males, mean (SD) age 25.8 (14.4) years) with unrestored dentition and group B involved 10 patients (five females, five males, mean (SD) age: 26.2 (11.9) years) with dental restorative treatment. Postoperative cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were acquired at four time-points, one to six weeks (T1), six months (T2), one year (T3) and two years (T4). Voxel- based registration was applied using the cranial base and then complete dental segment with part of the alveolar bone at T1-T2, T1-T3 and T1-T4 time-intervals. The translational and rotational accuracy and reproducibility of the registered maxillary segment was evaluated at these three intervals by analysing the transformation matrix using singular value decomposition. All translational and rotational measurements showed excellent reliability in both groups without any significant difference. The combined translational and rotational difference was found to be within the clinically acceptable range of 2mm and 4°. The VDAR was found to be accurate and reliable to be utilised for a long-term skeletal follow-up in orthognathic surgical patients.

Abstract
Background So far, several techniques have been recommended for the assessment of craniofacial changes through skeletal tissue superimposition, but the evidence that supports them remains unexplored. The purpose of the present study is to assess the available literature on skeletal-tissue superimpositions of serial craniofacial CT or CBCT images used to detect morphological changes. Materials and Methods Medline (via Pubmed), EMBASE, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, Open Grey and Grey Literature Report were searched (last search: 17.11.2019) using specific terms that fulfilled the requirements of each database in the context of the study aim. Hand searches were also performed. The outcomes of interest were the accuracy, precision, or agreement between skeletal-tissue superimposition techniques to assess changes in the morphology of craniofacial structures. Studies of any design with sample size ≥3 were assessed by two authors independently. The study protocol was registered in PROSPERO (ID: CRD42019143356). Results Out of 832 studies, fifteen met the eligibility criteria. From the 15 included studies, 12 have shown high total risk of bias, one low risk of bias, and two studies have shown unclear risk of bias. Thirteen out of the 15 studies showed high applicability concerns, two unclear and no study had low applicability concerns. There was high heterogeneity among studies regarding the type of participants, sample size, growth status, machines, acquisition parameters, superimposition techniques, assessment techniques and outcomes measured. Fourteen of them were performed on Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and one on Computed Tomography (CT) derived 3D models. Most of the studies (eleven) used voxel-based registration, one landmark-based registration and three studies compared different registration techniques, which include the surface-based registration. Concerning the area of interest, nine studies focused on the anterior cranial base and certain facial structures, four on maxillary structures and four on mandibular structures. Non-growing participants were included in six studies, growing in eight, whereas one study had both. Conclusion Most of the available studies had methodological shortcomings and high applicability concerns. At the moment, certain voxel-based and surface-based superimpositions seem to work properly and to be superior to landmark-based superimposition. However, further research in the field is required to develop and properly validate these techniques on different samples, through high quality studies with low applicability concerns.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate the morphologic and positional features of the mandible in children, adolescents, and adults with skeletal Class I and unilateral posterior crossbite. METHODS The sample included cone-beam computerized tomography images of 76 subjects, divided in 3 groups: (1) children (aged 6.77 ± 1.5 years; n = 25), (2) adolescents (aged 14.3 ± 1.7 years; n = 26), and (3) adults (aged 32.66 ± 13.4 years; n = 25) with unilateral posterior crossbite. Condylar and mandibular linear distances and angles were performed using a mirrored 3-dimensional overlapped model. Intragroup asymmetries were determined by a comparison between crossbite and no crossbite sides. The differences between both sides of all measurements were compared among groups and correlated to mandibular horizontal rotation (yaw) and age. RESULTS The crossbite side showed shorter distances in the condyle and mandibular regions. Asymmetries were slightly but significantly greater in adults, as expressed by the lateromedial condylar distance, total ramus height, and mandibular length with an average 0.7 mm, 2.0 mm, and 1.5 mm, respectively. The mandibular yaw rotation was not correlated to age but moderately associated (r = 0.467) to asymmetry in mandibular length and total ramus height. CONCLUSIONS Patients with skeletal Class I and unilateral crossbite showed small mandibular asymmetries and these conditions were slightly greater in adults, specifically in lateromedial condylar distances and mandibular body and length.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate craniofacial asymmetry in children with transverse maxillary deficiency, with or without functional unilateral posterior crossbite (UPC), before and after rapid maxillary expansion (RME). SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION A sample of 51 children with cone beam computed tomography scans obtained before RME (T1) and a year after RME (T2). MATERIAL AND METHODS This prospective study consisted of 2 groups: 25 children with functional UPC (6.77 ± 1.5 years) and 26 children without UPC (7.41 ± 1.31 years). Linear and angular measurements were obtained from zygomatic, maxilla, glenoid fossa and mandible, using original and mirrored 3D overlapped models. All right and left side comparisons in both groups and intergroups asymmetries were compared using MANOVA and t test for independent samples, respectively, statistically significant at P < .05. RESULTS The UPC group showed no side differences, but mandibular horizontal rotation at T1, and this asymmetry was improved in T2. The non-UPC group showed at baseline significant lateral asymmetry in orbitale, position of palatine foramen, respectively, in average 2.95 mm and 1.16 mm, and 0.49 mm of average asymmetry in condylar height. The glenoid fossa was symmetric in both groups at T1 and T2. CONCLUSIONS Children with transverse maxillary deficiency showed slight morphological asymmetry, located in the mandible position in cases of UPC, and in the orbital and maxillary regions in cases without UPC. One year after RME, patients improved their craniofacial asymmetry, with significant changes in the mandible and correction of the mandibular rotation in patients who presented UPC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Radiotherapy for lung cancer is beneficial in both the radical and palliative settings, and technologic advances in recent years now afford an opportunity for this treatment to be more targeted than ever before. Although the delivery of more accurate forms of radiotherapy has minimized the risks of side-effects, how to utilize this treatment to optimize outcomes remains questionable. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) image registration used in image-guided radiotherapy, providing reasonable guidance for clinic application of CBCT in lung cancer. METHODS A total of 53 patients with lung carcinoma including 34 central and 19 peripheral lesions were collected in this study. Varian-IX linear accelerator on-board imaging (OBI) system was used to acquire CBCT scans in three-dimensional (3D) conformal radiotherapy before delivery. Different regions (whole lung/target/vertebrae/ipsilateral structure) were manually registered, and the position deviation and the registration time were analyzed. RESULTS It was suggested that 34 cases belonged to central type and 19 cases belonged to peripheral type. The volume of left lung and right lung was 1242.98 ± 452.46 cc, 1689.69 ± 574.31 cc, respectively. Tumor size was 6.65 ± 3.87 cm in diameter, and 129.67 ± 136.48 cc in volume. The percentage of left lung and right lung was 6.17 ± 1.24%, 4.74 ± 0.38%, respectively. The position deviation value and absolute value of image registration methods of X, Y and Z axis were not significant (P > 0.05). However, registration time (s) between whole lung registration group, tumor registration group, vertebral body registration group, affected lung registration group, and artificial registration group, was 3.651 ± 0.867 s, 1.144 ± 0.129 s, 1.226 ± 0.126 s, 2.081 ± 0.427 s, 179.491 ± 71.975 s, respectively. The differences were significant (P < 0.05). The registration differences between small tumor group and large tumor group were not statistically significant (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION The automatic image matching of OBI is accuracy and high reliability in recognition of offset error. Registering body or ipsilateral structure is recommended to be used in CBCT for lung cancer.

Abstract
Clinical applications of 3D image registration and superimposition have contributed to better understanding growth changes and clinical outcomes. The use of 3D dental and craniofacial imaging in dentistry requires validate image analysis methods for improved diagnosis, treatment planning, navigation and assessment of treatment response. Volumetric 3D images, such as cone-beam computed tomography, can now be superimposed by voxels, surfaces or landmarks. Regardless of the image modality or the software tools, the concepts of regions or points of reference affect all quantitative of qualitative assessments. This study reviews current state of the art in 3D image analysis including 3D superimpositions relative to the cranial base and different regional superimpositions, the development of open source and commercial tools for 3D analysis, how this technology has increased clinical research collaborations from centres all around the globe, some insight on how to incorporate artificial intelligence for big data analysis and progress towards personalized orthodontics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the three-dimensional (3D) linear displacements and the mesiodistal and buccolingual angulation changes after orthodontic treatment in digital dental models (DDMs) and 3D models derived from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). SETTINGS AND SAMPLE POPULATION Digital dental model and CBCT scans were selected from 24 adults who had undergone orthodontic treatment for mandibular anterior crowding. MATERIAL AND METHODS 3D linear displacements and changes in angular measurements (mesiodistal and buccolingual angulation) were assessed in pre- and post-treatment DDM and CBCT images using the software ITK-snap and 3D SlicerCMF. Intra- and inter-rater agreement of measurements in DDM and CBCT were tested using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). DDM and CBCT measurements were compared using the Wilcoxon test (P < .05), ICC and Bland-Altman plots. RESULTS Intra- and inter-rater agreement varied from good (ICC > 0.75) to excellent (ICC > 0.90) for both DDM and CBCT measurements. Although no significant difference between DDM and CBCT methods was observed for linear measurements of tooth movement, the angular assessments were different for most measurements. The agreement between measurements from both assessments varied from poor to excellent. CONCLUSIONS Longitudinal assessments of tooth movements including 3D linear displacements and mesiodistal and buccolingual angulation are reproducible when using both DDM and CBCT. Changes in angular measurements due to orthodontic treatment are discordant when measured in the digital models (clinical crown) and in the CBCT images (whole tooth).

OBJECTIVES To compare three-dimensional (3D) skeletal and dentoalveolar effects of the Herbst and Pendulum appliances followed by fixed orthodontic treatment in growing patients. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION A sample of 35 adolescents with cone-beam computed tomography scans obtained prior to Herbst and Pendulum treatment (T1) and immediately after fixed appliance treatment (T2). MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with Class II malocclusion was assessed retrospectively and divided into two treatment groups: Herbst group (n = 17, age: 12.0 ± 1.6 years) and Pendulum group (n = 18, age: 12.1 ± 1.5 years), with a mean treatment duration of 2.8 ± 0.8 years and 2.5 ± 0.7 years, respectively. Reconstructions of the maxillomandibular and dentoalveolar regions and data in 3D were obtained relative to cranial base, maxillary and mandibular regional superimpositions. Treatment outcomes (T2-T1) were compared between both groups using t tests for independent samples (P<.05). RESULTS Significant increase in mandibular length was observed in the Herbst group (7.3 ± 3.5 mm) relative to the Pendulum group (4.6 ± 4.5 mm). Inferior and anterior displacements of Pogonion were 2.2 mm and 1.6 mm greater in the Herbst group, respectively. The mesial displacement of the lower first molars was significantly greater in the Herbst group (1.9 mm). The upper first molars had contrasting results in sagittal displacement, with 0.6 ± 1.7 mm of distal displacement with the Pendulum and 1.4 ± 2.1 mm of mesial displacement with the Herbst. Lower incisor projection and proclination were similar between groups. CONCLUSIONS The Herbst and Pendulum appliances followed by comprehensive orthodontic treatment effectively corrected Class II malocclusion in growing patients, but with differing skeletal and dentoalveolar effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim is to highlight a novel three-dimensional (3D) imaging methodology using micro-CT scans to visualize and measure bone modelling in an animal model. In order to validate the new methodology, we compared the 3D imaging method to traditional two-dimensional (2D) histomorphometry to assess growth changes in the jaws of a rodent. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Rodent animal models. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eleven rats were obtained from a larger previously published study. Sixty undecalcified histological sections from the maxilla and corresponding high-resolution in vivo micro-CT reconstructions were obtained. Bone modelling changes on specific alveolar surfaces were measured using traditional histomorphometry. Measurements of bone growth were also obtained via 3D Slicer software from 3D micro-CT generated models from the same plane containing the histological images. Both qualitative and quantitative 3D methods were compared to traditional histological measurements. Quantitative agreement between methods was categorized as follows: poor (>150 μm), good (150-100 μm) and excellent (<100 μm). RESULTS Both qualitative (88.3%) and quantitative (86.7%) 3D measurements showed excellent agreement, when compared to histomorphometric measurements. Only 1.7% and 5% of the comparisons exhibited poor agreement (>150 μm) for qualitative and quantitative methods, respectively. DISCUSSION The new 3D superimposition method compares very favourably with traditional histology. It is likely that in the future, such methods will be used in studies of bone adaptation. CONCLUSION The 3D micro-CT qualitative and quantitative methods are reliable for measuring bone modelling changes and compare favourably to histology for the specific application described.

Abstract
Background The root resorption of the maxillary incisors after the orthodontic traction of impacted canines is a concern for clinicians. The aim of this case series report was to evaluate the root resorption of the maxillary incisors after traction until the occlusal plane of the bicortically impacted canines (placed between the two cortical bones in the middle of the alveolar process) located in a complex position using three-dimensional superimposition. This case series report describes the root resorption of the maxillary incisors after orthodontic traction with NiTi closed coil springs and a heavy anchorage appliance in three cases of bilateral impacted canines located in a complex position (bicortically) near to midline. Cone-beam computed tomographies (CBCTs) were obtained before and after traction. Root resorption in all root surfaces of the maxillary incisors was evaluated with color-coded maps using the ITK-SNAP and the 3D Slicer software to indicate loss of the root surface (in red) or gain of the surface (in blue) and was quantified in millimeters by the superimposition method. Results The root changes mainly occurred in the apical third of the maxillary incisor root and did not exceed 2 mm. Conclusions Root resorption of the maxillary incisors after the traction of bicortically impacted canines located in a complex position was observed mainly in the apex region, and the amount of root resorption was smaller than 2 mm in all root surfaces.

Abstract
Severe skeletal open bites may be ideally treated with a combined surgical-orthodontic approach. Alternatively, compensations may be planned to camouflage the malocclusion with orthodontics alone. This case report describes the treatment of an 18-year-old man who presented with a severe open bite involving the anterior and posterior teeth up to the first molars, increased vertical dimension, bilateral Class III molar relationship, bilateral posterior crossbite, dental midline deviation, and absence of the maxillary right canine and the mandibular left first premolar. A treatment plan including the extraction of the mandibular right first premolar and based on uprighting and vertical control of the posterior teeth, combined with extrusion of the anterior teeth using multiloop edgewise archwire mechanics and elastics was chosen. After 6 months of alignment and 2 months of multiloop edgewise archwire mechanics, the open bite was significantly reduced. After 24 months of treatment, anterior teeth extrusion, posterior teeth intrusion, and counterclockwise mandibular rotation were accomplished. Satisfactory improvement of the overbite, overjet, sagittal malocclusion, and facial appearance were achieved. The mechanics used in this clinical case demonstrated good and stable results for open-bite correction at the 2-year posttreatment follow-up.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of the maturational stages of zygomaticomaxillary sutures (ZMS) on the response to maxillary protraction. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A total of 40 Class III patients were treated retrospectively with either a combination of rapid maxillary expansion and facial mask (RME/FM) or bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP). The RME/FM group consisted of 18 patients (mean age 8.3 years), while the BAMP group was comprised of 22 patients (mean age 11.8 years). The initial CBCT images (T1) of the ZMSs were classified blindly. 3D models from CBCT images at the start and at the end of orthopaedic treatment were registered on the anterior cranial base, and corresponding structures were measured on colour-coded maps and semitransparent overlays. The amounts of protraction of the maxilla, zygoma, orbitale and maxillary first molars for both groups were analysed with two-way ANOVA with Holm-Sidak post hoc test for multiple comparisons. RESULTS A significant association was found between the early maturation stages of the ZMSs and the amount of maxillary protraction, regardless of the protraction method used. Class III patients with ZMS stages A and B showed greater maxillary protraction than patients at stage C. CONCLUSION The maturational stages of ZMS are associated with the response maxillary protraction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess mandibular and glenoid fossa (GF) changes after bone-anchored maxillary protraction (BAMP) therapy in patients with unilateral complete cleft lip and palate (UCLP). MATERIALS AND METHODS The cleft group (CG) comprised 19 patients with (mean initial age of 11.8 years). The noncleft group (NCG) comprised 24 patients without clefts (mean initial age of 11.7 years). Both groups had Class III malocclusion and were treated with BAMP therapy for 18 and 12 months, respectively. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) exams were performed before and after treatment and superimposed on the anterior cranial fossa (ACF). Mandibular rotations and three-dimensional linear displacements of the mandible and GF were quantified. A t-test corrected for multiple testing (Holm-Bonferroni method) and a paired t-test were used to compare, respectively, the CG and NCG and cleft vs noncleft sides (P < .05). RESULTS Immediately after active treatment, the GF was displaced posteriorly and laterally in both groups relative to the ACF. The overall GF changes in the CG were significantly smaller than in the NCG. Condylar displacement was similar in both groups, following a posterior and lateral direction. The gonial angle was displaced similarly posteriorly, laterally, and inferiorly in both groups. The intercondylar line rotated in opposite directions in the CG and NCG groups. In the CG, most changes of the GF and mandible were symmetrical. CONCLUSIONS Overall GF and mandibular changes after BAMP therapy were similar in patients with and without clefts. The exception was the posterior remodeling of the GF that was slightly smaller in patients with UCLP.

Abstract
Introduction The aim was to evaluate three regions of reference (Björk, Modified Björk and mandibular Body) for mandibular registration testing them in a patients’ CBCT sample. Methods Mandibular 3D volumetric label maps were built from CBCTs taken before (T1) and after treatment (T2) in a sample of 16 growing subjects and labeled with eight landmarks. Registrations of T1 and T2 images relative to the different regions of reference were performed, and 3D surface models were generated. Seven mandibular dimensions were measured separately for each time-point (T1 and T2) in relation to a stable reference structure (lingual cortical of symphysis), and the T2-T1 differences were calculated. These differences were compared to differences measured between the superimposed T2 (generated from different regions of reference: Björk, Modified Björk and Mandibular Body) over T1 surface models. ICC and the Bland-Altman method tested the agreement of the changes obtained by nonsuperimposition measurements from the patients’ sample, and changes between the overlapped surfaces after registration using the different regions of reference. Results The Björk region of reference (or mask) did work properly only in 2 of 16 patients. Evaluating the two other masks (Modified Björk and Mandibular body) on patients’ scans registration, the concordance and agreement of the changes obtained from superimpositions (registered T2 over T1) compared to results obtained from non superimposed T1 and T2 separately, indicated that Mandibular Body mask displayed more consistent results. Conclusions The mandibular body mask (mandible without teeth, alveolar bone, rami and condyles) is a reliable reference for 3D regional registration.
