Non-surgical occlusal plane cant resolution with lingual straight-wire appliance and miniscrews in a class II asymmetric adult patient
Int Orthod. 2023 Jan 18;21(1):100726. doi: 10.1016/j.ortho.2023.100726. Online ahead of print.
ABSTRACT
This case report describes a complex class II case with important maxillo-mandibular asymmetry in an adult patient treated with lingual straight-wire appliance. With the twofold aim of obtaining dramatic aesthetic improvement, since the patient refused surgical option, and ideal occlusal relationship, accurate set-up planification and biomechanical strategies with TADS for occlusal plane cant correction are needed to achieve the planned results. This case report demonstrates the possibility of solving successfully class II malocclusion with significant asymmetry in adult patient without surgery by means of an aesthetic appliance; on the other hand, it underlines the necessity of miniscrews and auxiliaries in order to obtain the best results.

Invisible treatment of an asymmetric adult class II malocclusion related to unilateral upper lateral incisor agenesis with a straight wire lingual appliance, mini-screw and premolar extraction: A case report
Int Orthod. 2023 Jan 5;21(1):100721. doi: 10.1016/j.ortho.2022.100721. Online ahead of print.
ABSTRACT
This case report describes a complex full-step class II malocclusion with unilateral upper lateral incisor agenesis in an adult patient treated with lingual straight-wire appliance and premolar extraction, with the two-fold aim of obtaining ideal occlusal relationship and smile aesthetic improvement. In view of this, it underlines how an appropriate treatment strategy, including extraction choice and anchorage control during space closure, is needed to achieve the planned results with a completely invisible lingual appliance combined with aesthetic veneers.

Obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome and anatomical factors: possible correlations
Sleep Sci. 2022 Oct-Dec;15(4):429-435. doi: 10.5935/1984-0063.20220074.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: The following retrospective study was devised with the aim of evaluating the correlation between OSAS and various anatomical factors.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty-seven patients over the age of 40 were analyzed, of which 19 were classified as OSAS cases and 18 as control cases. For each, 17 anatomical variables were identified and examined using Invivo Dental software on CBCT scans, WebCeph software on laterolateral teleradiographs, and Rhinoceros 6.0 software on dental casts.
RESULTS: A generalized linear model of all the anatomical factors identified only two statistically significant variables. Specifically, the total volume of the palate displayed a inverse correlation with OSAS, while the distance between the S point and the Go point (S-Go) exhibited a direct correlation with the disease.
CONCLUSION: The likelihood of an individual having OSAS appears to decrease as the volume of the palate increases but increase as the lingual measure S-Go increases.
