Posterior crossbite - treatment and stability
Posterior crossbite is defined as an inadequate transversal relationship of maxillary and mandibular teeth. Even when eliminating the etiologic factors, this malocclusion does not have a spontaneous correction, and should be treated with maxillary expansion as early as possible. This treatment aims at providing a better tooth/skeletal relationship, thereby improving masticatory function, and es...
متن کاملFacial dimensions, bite force and masticatory muscle thickness in preschool children with functional posterior crossbite.
Posterior crossbite may affect craniofacial growth and development. Thus, this study aimed to associate facial dimensions (by standardized frontal photographs) to masseter and anterior portion of the temporal muscle thickness (by ultrasonography) and maximal bilateral bite force in 49 children with deciduous and early mixed dentitions. They were distributed in four groups: deciduous-normal occl...
متن کاملCondylar position in children with functional posterior crossbites: before and after crossbite correction.
The purpose of ttu’s project was to determine whether functional posterior crossbites in children influence the position of the mandibular condyle and assess the effect of crossbite correction on condylar position. Ten children from four to nine years of age with functional posterior crossbites were treated by maxillary expansion. Standardized transcranial temporomandibularjoint radiographs wer...
متن کاملMaximal bite force, facial morphology and sucking habits in young children with functional posterior crossbite
OBJECTIVE The maintenance of normal conditions of the masticatory function is determinant for the correct growth and development of its structures. Thus, the aims of this study were to evaluate the influence of sucking habits on the presence of crossbite and its relationship with maximal bite force, facial morphology and body variables in 67 children of both genders (3.5-7 years) with primary o...
متن کاملUnilateral posterior crossbite and chin deviation: is there a correlation?
A retrospective study evaluating the clinical discernment of chin deviations in general, and especially in relation to unilateral posterior crossbite (UPXB), was carried out to determine whether (1) there is a correlation between UPXB and clinically discernible chin deviation, (2) there are differences between the judgement of professional dental observers and laymen, (3) visual assessment of c...
