Developmental association of palatal dimensions and palatal rugae characteristics in Angle´s classes I, II and III of malocclusion

Int. j. morphol; 37 (2), 2019
During development, bony changes in the palate are reflected in the palatal rugae. Therefore, we hypothesized that the palatal dimensions (PD) influence the shape and number of palatal rugae (PR). The objectives were to record the palatal rugae characteristics (PRC) and palatal dimensions (intercanine di...

Temporomandibular joint function 10-15 years after mandibular setback surgery and six weeks of intermaxillary fixation

J. appl. oral sci; 27 (), 2019
Abstract Intermaxillary fixation (IMF) is a classic method for immobilization of the mandible after mandibular fractures and corrective surgery. However, it has been suggested that IMF may be a risk for developing temporomandibular joint (TMJ)-related symptoms, especially when applied for longer periods....

Cirugía ortognática para el tratamiento de las anomalías dentoesqueletales
Orthognathic surgery for the treatment of dentoskeletal abnormalities

Las anomalías dentoesqueletales se presentan en el 2-3% de la población. Las mismas afectan el complejo maxilomandibular como también la relación entre las arcadas dentarias. Estas alteraciones producen problemas fonéticos, deglutorios, respiratorios y estéticos. Existe una tendencia en corregir la...

Frenectomía lingual láser asistida como coadyuvante del tratamiento de ortopedia maxilar
Laser-assissted lingual frenectomy as a coadjuvant to maxillary orthopedic treatment

La aplicación del LÁSER (light amplification of stimulation emision of radiation) en las áreas de la medicina y la odontología viene demostrando una constante evolución, brindándonos alternativas a los tratamientos convencionales. Los láseres quirúrgicos de tejidos blandos muestran grandes ventaj...

Global distribution of malocclusion traits: A systematic review

Abstract Objective: Considering that the available studies on prevalence of malocclusions are local or national-based, this study aimed to pool data to determine the distribution of malocclusion traits worldwide in mixed and permanent dentitions. Methods: An electronic search was conducted using PubMe...

Diagnostic validity of different cephalometric analyses for assessment of the sagittal skeletal pattern

Abstract Introduction: Numerous cephalometric analyses have been proposed to diagnose the sagittal discrepancy of the craniofacial structures. Objective: This study aimed at evaluating the reliability and validity of different skeletal analyses for the identification of sagittal skeletal pattern. Met...

Quick correction of a skeletal class III maloclussion in primary dentition with face mask plus rapid maxillary expansion therapy

Odovtos (En línea); 20 (2), 2018
Abstract Skeletal Class III is a malocclusion characterized by anterior crossbite as a result of an abnormal skeletal maxillary and mandibular base discrepancy, which involves disharmony of craneofacial skeleton and profile. The preferred management for children having skeletal Class III malocclusion wit...

Bullying in schoolchildren according to Angle’s classifications of malocclusion

J. oral res. (Impresa); 7 (5), 2018
Objective: to compare bullying in schoolchildren according diffe-rent types of Angle’s malocclusion. materials and methods: a cross-sectional and prospective study was performed. 217 schoolchildren were evaluated. a scale-adapted validated questionnaire was applied to measure general bullying. malocclu...

Morphological changes of skeletal class III malocclusion in mixed dentition with protraction combined activities

Int. j. morphol; 36 (2), 2018
The objective of the study was to investigate the morphological changes of skeletal class III malocclusion in mixed dentition with light force protraction combined activities. Randomly selected 30 cases of orthodontics in Shanxi Medical University orthodontics patients (ages: 6-10 years) of the lateral c...
