Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) is a well-documented but poorly understood progressive disease that affects the TMJ. ICR can result in malocclusion, facial disfigurement, TMJ dysfunction, and pain. Some cases occur spontaneously, whereas others appear during orthodontic therapy or as sequelae to orthognathic surgical procedures. It is essential for orthodontists to recognize the onset of ICR in patients as early as possible .This article discusses practical aspects of recognizing and managing ICR in orthodontic patients by a combination of orthodontic and orthognathic surgery treatment.

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics
Growth modification by using removable orthopedic appliances has been commonly used in growing patients to correct maxilla-mandibular jaw discrepancy. Previous studies reported the different effects of various orthopedic appliances on the airway dimension. Low-pull headgear therapy may induce a short-term decrease of the upper airway dimension in Class II patients. Face mask therapy seems to be associated with the increase of upper airway dimension in growing Class III patients. However, mandible protruding appliances can increase the upper airway dimension, especially in the Class II patients with mandible retrusion.

Taiwanese Journal of Orthodontics
Corticotomy-assisted orthodontics (CAOT) can shorten orthodontic treatment time by increasing regional acceleratory phenomenon. The periodontal wound healing caused by corticotomy are similar to the periodontal tissue reaction induced by orthodontic force; if the two phenomena could be accumulated and both enhancing bone remodeling, orthodontic tooth movement should be accelerated theoretically. There are many different kinds of procedures and strategies in the clinical application of corticotomy-assisted orthodontics, but when the cost and benefit ratio for the patients are thoroughly considered, using minimal invasive corticotomy to assist orthodontic treatment may be more practical. As for the clinical efficacy of minimal invasive corticotomy, …

It has been more than seven decades that traditional two-dimensional (2D) image develops into threedimensional (3D) image. Due to the limited technology, 2D lateral cephalograms are traditionally used for airway assessment; however; the problem with cephalometry is that the 3D airway change can only be measured by linear measurement. Since 1990s, the development of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has offered more information for orthodontists, which is considered to be a diagnostic tool and initially served as the radiographic standard for airway assessment for patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Over the years, more studies on 3D reconstruction in airway …

The replacement of teeth by osseointegrated implants is usually restricted to patients with completed craniofacial growth. Implant insertions in children, adolescents and young adults who we refer to as young patients are circumvented due to several unfavorable potential effects including trauma to tooth germs, tooth eruption disorders, and multidimensional restrictions of dental alveolus and skeletal craniofacial growth. The clinical and radiographic findings have clearly shown that the implants do not behave like normal erupting teeth during the development of the dentition. Neither does the fixtures move together with the adjacent teeth, but behaves more like ankylosed teeth. This was a …
