Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Radiographic images in orthodontics and other branches of dentistry, such as oral surgery, implantology, periodontics and rehabilitation, help us determine what type of pathologies we can detect and how to solve them. In addition, it is necessary to know what the different current radiological techniques are and what we must diagnose and develop a correct treatment plan for in orthodontics and other branches of dentistry. This Special Issue will allow us to discover new ways of approaching related problems in dentistry using radiographic images and photography. I invite you to participate by providing interesting articles related to images in dentistry.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Background: To infer the optimal angulation and height level of mini-implant insertion in the anterior nasal spine (ANS) region from alveolar bone depth (BD) and labial cortical bone thickness (CBT) through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), the influences of sex, age, and growth pattern on BD, CBT, and the starting point of the ANS were examined. Material and methods: BD and CBT were measured on CBCT median sagittal images at specific angles (0, 15, 30, 45, and 60 degrees) to simulate the angulation of insertion. The height level of the first axial image with obvious bone ridge was recorded as the start of ANS. Results: The average height of ANS start was 9.42 mm from the alveolar bone crest between the central incisors. The variations in height level and insertion angle combined, or either of them individually, significantly influenced BD and CBT, demonstrating overall decreasing trends (p < 0.001). BD was not influenced by sex, age, or growth pattern (p > 0.05). However, CBT was found to be correlated with sex and growth pattern, while the height level of ANS start was associated only with growth pattern, particularly in hypodivergent patients (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The recommended insertion height level is 14–16 mm from the alveolar bone crest and the recommended angulation is 30–45°. An innovative inequity in the relationship between a certain height level and the insertion angulation is proposed. Full article

During orthodontic treatment, the early diagnosis of microscopic changes in soft and hard tissues, including periodontal tissue, is very important to prevent iatrogenic side effects like root resorption and periodontal diseases. Cervical periodontal tissue is the most critical area that reacts first to mal-habits or orthodontic forces, and it is also the place where bacteria deposits in the early stage of periodontal diseases. The early diagnosis of hard tissue changes, such as demineralization, is also very important in maintaining a patient’s health during orthodontic treatment. Many diagnostic devices, including radiographic equipment and intra-oral scanners, are helpful in diagnosing these problems, but have certain limitations in invasiveness and precision. The purpose of this study is to verify the possible utilities of non-invasive diagnostic devices in the orthodontic field that can compensate for these limitations. For this, non-invasive optical diagnostic devices, including optical coherence tomography and optical Doppler tomography, were used in vivo with animal and human examination for hard and soft tissues. These devices can provide real-time three-dimensional images at the histological scale. The results of this study verified these devices can be used in clinical practice during orthodontic treatment and introduced a new diagnostic paradigm differentiating microstructural changes in tissues in orthodontic diagnosis.
