Corticotomy found to be effective in accelerating orthodontic treatment. It involves selective alveolar decortication in the form of decortication lines and dots performed around the teeth that are to be moved. It is done to induce a state of increased tissue turnover and a transient osteopenia, which is followed by a faster rate of orthodontic tooth movement. This technique has several advantages, including faster tooth movement, shorter treatment time, safer expansion of constricted arches, enhanced post-orthodontic treatment stability and extended envelope of tooth movement.

Timely diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnoea and its management is an important factor in terms of orthodontic treatment outcomes. Symptoms of obstructive sleep apnoea being suggestive of the condition need to be given consideration along with predisposing factors that lead to obstructive sleep apnoea. Attention must be given to those patients identified with the predisposing factors who are likely to develop obstructive sleep apnoea. A variety of treatment options are available this day, beginning with lifestyle modifications, appliances, pharmacological management and ultimately surgical management depending on the severity of obstructive sleep apnoea which is identified through grading.

Acceleration of tooth movement is always a concern of both orthodontist and patient. Demand for shorter treatment time with none to minimal side effects is a main request of orthodontic treatment. The submucosal injection of PRP is a clinically feasible and effective technique to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement and at the same time, preserve the alveolar bone on the pressure side of orthodontic tooth movement, and the optimal dose of PRP for the best clinical performance is 11.0–12.5 folds.

Dental caries is the most common disease in children and up to eight times more prevalent than asthma ranked the second among all the common diseases in the world. The food habits and some types of food play an important role in induce dental caries. The objective of this study is to assess the relationship between, dietary intake, dietary habits, oral hygiene practices and dental caries during childhood. A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 150 children that were selected at random from public hospitals in Benghazi, Libya. Data was obtained by using a questionnaire containing information about the number of carious teeth, dietary intake, habits and oral hygiene habits. The relationship between the risk factors and dental caries was modelled using, Statistics Package Social Science (SPSS). There was a significant statistical difference in the average dental caries among children at (P<0.05) according to sugar amount consumption (P=0.02), as well as to tooth brushing per day (P= 0.03). The average dental caries decreased with increase in times of tooth brushing per day. The prevalence of dental caries in children was an average of 3 carious lesions. Socio-demographic factors, dietary and oral hygiene habits were associated with dental caries.

Recent advances in orthodontic wire alloys have resulted in a varied array of wires that exhibit a wide spectrum of properties. Appropriate use of these wires may enhance the patient comfort; reduce the chair side time and duration of the treatment. Though superior materials and techniques are now available and many replace conventional methods, one should keep in mind that no arch wire is ideal or best for all stages of treatment. Since arch wires are the main force system in orthodontics, the knowledge about newer arch wires will help us to select the appropriate wire within the context of their intended use during treatment.

Clinical photographs are essential for maintaining patient records, patient education, diagnosis and treatment planning. The application of photography in dental practice is simple, quick and particularly useful in documenting of work, assisting in patient education and helping in clinical investigations, thus benefits dentists and patients. Its widespread application include self-checking of one’s own results, illustration of lectures and publications, marketing and accomplishing electronic tele dental systems.

Laser technique now is widely applied in orthodontic treatment and proved to have many benefits. Soft tissue lasers can be used to perform gingivectomy, frenectomy and surgical exposure of tooth with less bleeding and swelling, improved precision, reduced painand less wound contraction. Other laser applications include enamel etching and bonding andbracket debonding. Lower level lasers have the potential effects of pain control and accelerating tooth movement. Clinicians must be aware of the safety issues and risks associated with laser and receive proper training before the laser treatment is started.

The paradigm shift in orthodontics arrived with the introduction of Aligner System. It allows both dental practitioner and patient to develop a visual understanding of orthodontic tooth movement. The esthetic and practical advantages of the system have extended orthodontic services to a greater population. The transparency of the clear aligners enhances its esthetic appeal for those adult patients who are averse to wearing conventional labial fixed orthodontic appliances. Although guidelines about the types of malocclusions that this technique can treat exist, few clinical studies have assessed the effectiveness of the appliance.

Anchorage is one of the important aspects of orthodontic treatment TAD have gained profound applications in contemporary orthodontic protocol. To treat almost every genre of malocclusion be it arising from dentoalveolar component, skeletal component or combination of both Various skeletal anchorage devices were introduced in the 20th century which includes prosthetic implants, palatal implants and implants, mini-plates and screws. This article reviews their classification, indications, contraindications, safety zones for TADs, their advantages, complications.

Orthodontic treatment usually requires a long period of time, and patients experience pain and discomfort during treatment. Accelerating orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and reducing the length of orthodontic treatment may help to reduce not only discomfort but also possible dental and periodontal complications in patients. MOPs are the least invasive surgical procedure. The aim of this review review article is to conduct a review of current literature to evaluate the effects of micro osteoperforations on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement and pain.

Labiogingival groove is a congenital morphologic dental anomaly, in which an infolding of the inner enamel epithelium and Hertwig's epithelial root sheath create a groove extending varying depth into root. Epithelial attachment can be breached by gingival irritation secondary to plaque accumulation creating a periodontal defect. A 24-year-old boy reported with the complaint of a dull gnawing pain from labial gingival surface in the maxillary left central incisor for 2 to 3 months. Intraoral examination revealed inflamed gingiva with loss of contour in relation to maxillary left central incisor. A diagnosis of localised periodontitis was given and required treatment was carried out. On exposure of the involved tooth, a labiogingival groove was noticed which could have been a contributing factor for the increased disease activity at the concerned site.

Apical root resorption is an undesirable, but frequent side effect of orthodontic treatment, Orthodontic tooth movement involves a series of biologic reactions after force application, which makes teeth vulnerable to root resorption It develops when the natural protection of the predentine and odontoblasts in the root canal, or the precementum and cementoblasts on the root surface are damaged or removed. Orthodontic forces are just one of several aetiological factors that have been implicated in external root resorption.
