This lecture focuses on reporting quality, reproducibility, and transparency in orthodontic research, offering practical guidance for authors preparing manuscripts for Progress in Orthodontics and other peer-reviewed journals. Through real examples from clinical trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews, the speaker explains how proper reporting directly impacts the reliability, usability, and long-term value of scientific research. Key topics include CONSORT, PRISMA, and STROBE reporting guidelines, study design, sample size calculation, randomization, bias reduction, data sharing, and common reporting mistakes frequently encountered in orthodontic publications. Combining methodological insight with editorial experience, the session provides valuable recommendations for clinicians and researchers aiming to improve both the scientific quality and publication success of their work.

This lecture explores the core principles of Evidence-Based Orthodontics and how they apply to real-world clinical decision-making. Through practical orthodontic examples and current industry trends, the speaker examines how clinicians can critically evaluate new technologies, scientific literature, and commercial claims while balancing clinical expertise, research evidence, and patient expectations. Key topics include randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and the interpretation of clinical evidence in orthodontic practice. Combining academic depth with strong clinical relevance, the session offers valuable insights for orthodontists seeking to strengthen their evidence-based thinking and long-term clinical judgment.
