Randomized Controlled Trial
A split-mouth randomized controlled trial to compare the rate of canine retraction after a soft tissue procedure compared against a corticotomy procedure for accelerated tooth movement.
Various methods to accelerate the orthodontic tooth movement have been used, among which corticotomy is considered to be the most common one. The suggested reasoning for such acceleration was the regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP). Since the RAP is a property of both the hard and soft tissues, we designed a soft tissue flap procedure to compare the effects with the conventional corticotomy procedure. A split-mouth study was conducted where the two procedures were assessed in a single participant. ⋯ Though the corticotomy resulted in higher BD, the differences were statistically insignificant. There was no significant difference in the rate of space closure assessed by the two techniques compared.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of piezoincision on the rate of mandibular molar mesialization: A randomised clinical trial.
The aim of this clinic study was to investigate the effect of piezoincision on the rate of mandibular molar mesialization using clinical, radiological, and biochemical methods. ⋯ The piezoincision technique provided acceleration of mandibular molar mesialization and did not cause further damage to the buccal alveolar bone. Piezoincision can be used as a safe method in the mandibular molar region.

Randomized Controlled Trial
The effect of rocuronium priming dose based on actual versus corrected body weight in modified rapid sequence intubation.
Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is a technique that allows patients to be quickly intubated and have the airway secured. ⋯ This study suggests that the application of rocuronium priming and intubation dose according to CBW in RSII, especially during the pandemic, provided similar intubation conditions as the application according to ABW, while its shorter duration of action shows that it can be preferred, especially in short-term surgical cases.
