Biology of Dentofacial Growth and Development: Updating Standards using Digital Imaging Technologies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dentofacial growth and development is a complex phenomenon with great impact in the evaluation and treatment of the child. In order to understand individual growth and to elaborate precise diagnosis we need to develop reference values for the present population. For this we had to perform cross-sectional and mixed longitudinal studies on large samples of population over a period of three years. The investigated standards were: dental age, eruption pattern of permanent teeth, odontometric data and prediction tables, dental arch development indices, facial dimensions and proportions and cephalometric measurements. This paper will present and evaluate the principle digital imaging technologies used for updating standards: digital photography, digital models and digital radiography. For analyzing of the digital data we used dedicated software. In conclusion actual computer science and modern imaging technologies facilitates the understanding and characterization of the dentofacial growth and creation of databases for educational and research purposes. Key-Words: dentofacial growth and development, standards, dental age, tooth eruption, standardized digital radiography, sequential intraoral photography, digital models, standardized digital photography, anthropometry

متن کاملAssessment of dentofacial growth deviation in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: Reliability and validity of three-dimensional morphometric measures
INTRODUCTION Patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and involvement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) often experience abnormal facial growth. Three-dimensional (3D) assessment of dentofacial growth deviation has become more common with advancement and commercialization of imaging technologies. However, no standardized guidelines exist for interpretation of 3D imaging in patients ...
