Clinical Application of the Graphical Analysis of Tooth Width Discrepancy
Authors: Christopher T.C. , Freer T.J. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Mesiodistal tooth width discrepancies hetween the maxillary and mandihular teeth may be present in any dentition.
A mismatch in width between the maxillary and mandibular teeth can have a pronounced effect on the occlusion by preventing the correct interdigitation of buccal teeth and the correct overhite/overjet relation of anterior teeth. No simple graphical method of analysis of tooth width discrepancy has previously been devised. The present graphical analysis of tooth width discrepancy has been developed to comprehensively assess new cases for tooth width discrepancy, The findings from the graphical analysis of tooth width discrepancy were invaluable as an aid in diagnosis and treatment planning. Diagnostic set-ups performed on each malocclusion supported the findings from the graphical analysis. The analysis provided the ability to visually recognise and localise the tooth or teeth causing the tooth width discrepancy. Computerisation of the graphical analysis of tooth width discrepancy will simplify and encourage its use in the overall diagnosis and treatment planning of all malocclusions.
Deformation of Orthodontic Archwires Over Time
Authors: Wong E.K.F. , Borland D.W. , West V.C. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Most previous studies of archwire deformation over time (hereafter referred to as “time-dependent deformation of orthodontic wires”) have been conducted at a constant room temperature. In the clinical situation however, arch wires are exposed to 37°C as well as to periods of temperature increase when hot foods or fluids are ingested. The effects of the latter on time-dependent behaviour are largely unknown. Since the introduction of direct electric resistance heat treatment to superelastic nickel titanium wires, there have been no reports on its effect on time-dependent deformation. This study investigated the effects of repeated temperature increases (70°C) on stainless steel, nickel titanium and beta titanium wires. The wires were deflected by approximately 3 and 5 mm on two jigs for periods of 1 minute, 1,7,14 and 28 days. Permanent deformation was measured optically with a measuring microscope and the amount of time-dependent deformation was calculated. Beta titanium wires demonstrated the greatest amount of time-dependent deformation; followed by non-superelastic nickel titanium, stainless steel, and superelastic nickel titanium. Exposure to repeated temperature (70°C) increases and direct electric resistance heat treatment of superelastic nickel titanium did not affect time-dependent behaviour.

Indirect Bonding
Authors: Geenty Joseph Patrick 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The advantages of indirect bonding have heen recognised for more than twenty years. However the technique has not gained widespread acceptance as an alternative to conventional direct honding. Reports of difficulty in achieving adequate isolation of posterior teeth and prohlems with resin flash and low hond strength may explain the reluctance of the profession to make use of the technique. This paper descrihes an improved indirect technique which uses a heat cured honding resin in a way that appears to overcome the reported problems.
Complications of Orthognathic Surgery
Authors: Dimitroulis George 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Although orthognathic surgery has now become a routine part of oral and maxillofacial surgery practice, concern and apprehension about major jaw surgery continues to plague the minds of many orthodontists faced with the prospect of referring their patients for surgery. Like all surgery, complications also occur with orthognathic procedures, most of which can be prevented by thorough planning and careful surgery. In this article a brief overview of the potential complications associated with orthognathic surgery is presented for the benefit of orthodontists involved in the management of patients undergoing combined orthodontic-surgical treatment.
Second Permanent Molar Extraction and Late Lower Arch Crowding: A Ten-Year Longitudinal Study
Authors: Richardson Margaret E. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to examine lower arch alignment in the long term following treatment by second molar extraction. Thirty subjects, treated by extraction of four second permanent molars at an average age of 13.9 years, were examined five and ten years after extractions. None had any mechanical treatment in the lower arch. Twenty had some simple upper arch treatment, including, in five cases, extraction of first premolars. The changes in lower arch alignment were measured on study models. There was a small average decrease in lower arch crowding in the first five years following extraction, and little or no change in alignment in the next five years.

Authors: So Lisa L.Y. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The correlation of skeletal maturation with the chronological ages of the onset of f our secondary sexual characteristics (menarche, appearance of pubic hair and axillary hair, and breast development) was studied in a group of 117 Southern Chinese girls aged between 11 years, 9 months and 12 years, 3 months, who were born and brought up in Hong Kong. The skeletal maturation was assessed from left hand and wrist radiographs by the Greulich and Pyle Atlas Method (1959). The early maturers in sexual maturation were significantly more advanced in skeletal maturity with p<0.001.
Dentofacial Changes in Patients with Class III Malocclusions Treated By a Combination of Activator and Chin-Cup Appliances
Authors: Basdra Efthimia K. , Stellzig Angelika , Komposch Gerda 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine, on pre-treatment and post-treatment lateral cephalograms, the effects of combined activator/chincup therapy on Class III patients, and to compare mean cephalometric diferences noted during treatment with untreated Class I suhjects. Fourteen females and fifteen males who exhibited a Class III malocclusion were the subjects of the study. Direct comparison of the mean value changes of the cephalometric variables during treatment of Class III patients with untreated Class I subjects revealed that SNA increased more and SNB increased less in the Class III patients than in the control group, thus improving the ANB angle. At the end of treatment, all patients had a positive overjet but a more concave profile. In this study, combined activator/chin-cup therapy seemed to induce improvement in those Class III patients selected for their moderate condition and treated over a five-year period. The changes seemed to indicate growth patterns which imitate those of the untreated Class I subjects. Moreover, dentoalveolar compensations helped to improve the overjet and conceal skeletal deviations.

ABSTRACT
Lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) in pediatric patients, encompassing entities such as bronchiolitis and pneumonia, present a multifaceted clinical challenge. This study delves into the complexity of pediatric LRTIs, considering diverse pathogens, clinical manifestations, and the influence of viral epidemics. Epidemiological insights reveal a global impact, with a notable burden on mortality and morbidity, particularly in the first years of life.
The retrospective cohort study, conducted at a Children's Emergency Clinical Hospital, explores the clinical and paraclinical profile of 145 pediatric patients diagnosed with LRTIs between January 2022 and December 2022. Descriptive statistics of hospitalization days, C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT) values provide insights into the clinical-paraclinical dynamics.
Respiratory failure primarily results from viral infections, showcasing the need for targeted interventions. The study identifies Staphylococcus aureus and respiratory syncytial virus as prevalent etiological agents. Notably, antibiotic therapy, primarily cephalosporins, is employed in 86.2% of cases.
This comprehensive analysis contributes to a nuanced understanding of pediatric LRTIs, guiding personalized treatment strategies and preventive measures. The study serves as a valuable resource for clinicians and researchers, fostering advancements in pediatric respiratory care.

ABSTRACT
Globally, acute respiratory tract infections (ARIs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children under five, particularly pneumonia. In 2019, pneumonia claimed 740,180 children's lives, constituting 14% of under-five deaths, with a child succumbing every 39 seconds. Predisposing factors vary, including low birth weight, pollutants, inadequate nutrition, and low maternal education. This study aims to assess the impact of socio-demographic factors on respiratory infection severity in pediatric patients.
A cross-sectional study included 221 pediatric patients with respiratory infections, analyzing socio-demographic and lifestyle factors. Statistical methods explored relationships between socio-demographics, lifestyle, and infection severity.
Descriptive statistics showed quasi-equal gender distribution and a mean age of 4.88 years with a normal distribution. Seasonal variations had gender and environment correlations, but chi-square tests found no statistical differences. Bivariate correlations revealed significant associations between gender and hospitalization days, C-reactive protein, and procalcitonin values.
This study sheds light on socio-demographic factors influencing respiratory infections in pediatric patients, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions.

Objective: The purpose of this investigation is to specify the correct treatment of digital evidence to be admissible within the judicial process, respecting guarantees and fundamental rights of people.

Method: Digital evidence is information stored on a technological device that is propagated through cyberspace. The computer record is accessible by people, electronics, or computers and is collected from a digital device. Also identify the procedure for obtaining, preserving, analyzing, and presenting digital evidence before the Judge. This theoretical review of sources was prepared under the systematic verification methodology, usable in the Scopus, Ebscohost, Scielo, Core, IG Global, Ciencia Latina, Latindex, Jurn, Openaire, and Redalyc databases of advantageous configuration and in Spanish for the last 5 years.

Results and Conclusions: Based on the results obtained, the importance of the treatment of digital evidence as an instrument of proof is inferred, for the evaluation of the judge as an element of conviction in a criminal process. It is concluded that digital evidence has particular characteristics that distinguish it from physical evidence and procedural rules do not regulate its proper treatment, and are currently considered documentary evidence.

Research implications: The article reflects the drawbacks from its definition, mention of current legislation, treatment in the judicial process, and its implication in the field of computer forensic digital evidence.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: The responsiveness of the state apparatus is being increased, in response to the global demands that citizens require to address their needs in areas such as health, education, transportation, and the environment.

Method: The latter has been exacerbated by the arrival of the health crisis, which has drawn attention to the exploitation of natural resources and its impact on ecosystems. In the face of this, the literature review article aimed to analyze the challenges of effective public management in the fight against environmental pollution from a global perspective. It followed a qualitative approach and a systematic review type, supported by the PRISMA methodology.

Results and Conclusion: The results yielded a total of 60 selected articles based on previously defined criteria, with 40.00% from Dialnet, 31.67% from Scopus, 16.67% from Scielo, 10.00% from Redalyc, and 1.67% from Taylor & Francis Online. Finally, it was concluded that these challenges respond to policies and regulations, human resources, integrated systems, research and technology support, environmental management measures, and monitoring and tracking.

Research Implications: The implementation of actions favoring the environment through public management requires, in the first instance, officials whose profiles exhibit leadership skills and abilities that facilitate compliance with the regulations aimed at protecting the environment.

Originality/value: The goal is to contribute to scientific knowledge in a subject that involves two significant aspects within public management or, more precisely, NPM: the environmental approach and the measures being taken to address the consequences of environmental pollution.
