Genetics of Dentofacial and Orthodontic Abnormalities

Airway compromise and dentofacial abnormalities.

Periodontic-Orthodontic Interactions in Solving Dentofacial Esthetics

Periodontic-orthodontic interactions are mutually beneficial. Combined periodontic and orthodontic treatment can greatly enhance periodontal health and dentofacial esthetics. Adjunctive orthodontic management of pathological tooth migration has unique effects in subjects with moderate to advanced periodontitis. Orthodontic treatment should only be undertaken with healthy periodontium or healthy...

The frequency of Accidental Dental Abnormalities and pathologic finding in panoramic radiography of orthodontic patients

Background and Aim:  Panoramic radiography is routinely used in addition to clinical examination for diagnosis and treatment plan in orthodontics. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency and location of random dental and pathological findings in panoramic images before orthodontic treatment. Related  to attending of private orthodontic clinic during 2013-2018. Material and Methods:...

The effect of mouth breathing versus nasal breathing on dentofacial and craniofacial development in orthodontic patients.

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS To determine the effect of mouth breathing during childhood on craniofacial and dentofacial development compared to nasal breathing in malocclusion patients treated in the orthodontic clinic. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective study in a tertiary medical center. METHODS Clinical variables and cephalometric parameters of 116 pediatric patients who had undergone orthodontic trea...

Partial glossectomy as an auxiliary method to orthodontic treatment of dentofacial deformity

INTRODUCTION  macroglossia is a condition which influences the size and shape of the teeth employed due to the forces on teeth. OBJECTIVE  To establish bases for the indication of partial glossectomy associated with orthodontic treatment and surgical dento-facial deformity in patients without tumors and Down syndrome as a cause of macroglossia. CASE REPORTS  Three patients underwent orthogn...
