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. Using real examples from clinical trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews, the speaker demonstrates how proper reporting directly impacts the reliability, interpretability, and long-term value of scientific research. Key topics include CONSORT, PRISMA, and STROBE guidelines, study design, sample size calculation, randomization, bias reduction, data sharing, and common reporting mistakes in orthodontic publications. Combining methodological expertise with editorial insight, the session provides actionable recommendations for clinicians and researchers aiming to enhance both the scientific quality and publication success of their work. 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 their application in real-world clinical decision-making. Through practical orthodontic examples and current industry trends, the speaker examines how clinicians can critically appraise new technologies, scientific literature, and commercial claims. Emphasis is places on integrating clinical expertise, the best available research evidence, and patient preferences. Key topics include randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, meta-analysis, and the interpretation of clinical evidence in orthodontic practice. Combining academic rigor with strong clinical relevance, the session provides valuable insights for orthodontists aiming to strengthen their evidence-based thinking and long-term clinical judgment.
