Objective: The search to optimize tooth movement and reduce treatment time is of great interest to the orthodontist, as it involves innovating new materials and procedures to achieve the treatment objectives in the short term. The administration of prostaglandins has been studied, and their effect on accelerating tooth movement when administered locally has been proven. The objective of this study was to evaluate the latest achievements concerning the effects of local administration of prostaglandins to accelerate tooth movement for orthodontic purposes. Methodology: A search was conducted in four databases (PubMed, SciELO, Cochrane, Google Scholar) and three specialized journals (AJODO, Angle Orthodontics, Journal of Clinical Orthodontics) until August 2023. The methodological quality of the studies was analyzed using the PRISMA checklist. Results: The study had 14 articles. Local admin...

Objetivo: Revisar, en la literatura actual, la estabilidad a largo plazo de los diferentes tratamientos de ortodoncia para la corrección de la mordida abierta en pacientes con dentición permanente. Materiales y método. Se realizó una búsqueda electrónica en cuatro bases de datos (PubMed, Elsevier, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar) y dos revistas especializadas (AJODO, Angle Orthodontics) hasta mayo de 2024. La calidad metodológica de los estudios fue analizada usando PRISMA checklist. Resultados: En esta revisión se incluyeron 22 estudios, que se analizaron de acuerdo con los diferentes tipos de tratamientos que brindan estabilidad a largo plazo para el cierre de la mordida abierta, como los tratamientos con y sin extracciones, el uso de minitornillos y miniplacas, y la cirugía ortognática. Conclusiones: Los pacientes tratados mediante extracciones presentaron mayor estabilidad po...

Objective: The review aimed to assess the structural changes in the craniofacial complex following maxillary expansion assisted by micro-implants, known as the “Miniscrew assisted rapid palatal expander” (MARPE) in patients with maxillary transverse deficiency. Materials and Methods: The research included a specific type of expander called “Maxillary Skeletal Expander” (MSE) the design features a posteriorly positioned screw aligned with the zygomatic buttress, supported by four micro-implants located paramedial to the midpalatal suture with bicortical engagement of the palatal vault and the nasal floor. Four databases (PubMed, Scopus, Embase and ScienceDirect) were reviewed until July 2024. Studies reporting skeletal and dentoalveolar changes in patients with transverse maxillary deficiency evaluated using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) were selected. The methodology was e...
