INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to identify possible dentoskeletal parameters associated with variation of anterior tooth inclination in Angle Class II subdivisions. METHODS Pre-treatment lateral radiographs of 144 Class II patients (68 males, 76 females) aged 9 to 17 years were classified for upper incisor inclination into three groups (proclined, normally inclined, retroclined) h...

Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken of 50 Romano-British skulls of both sexes excavated near Dorchester and 11 male skulls from York. Thirty nine craniofacial parameters were compared with radiographs of modern Londoners taken on the same apparatus. The values for basal prognathism were similar in Romano-British and modern groups. The upper incisor angle, overbite and overjet were sign...

PURPOSE This study was performed to assess the compatibility of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) synthesized cephalograms with conventional cephalograms, and to find a method for obtaining normative values for three-dimensional (3D) assessments. MATERIALS AND METHODS The sample group consisted of 10 adults with normal occlusion and well-balanced faces. They were imaged using conventional ...

The aim of our study was to identify the most important anatomical landmarks in the cephalometric evaluation of Class III patients and to clarify the morphological characteristics of these cases. A group of 10 Class III orthodontic patients was evaluated in this study. The control group consisted of 10 patients with average occlusion and skeletal characteristics. Digital lateral cephalometric X...

OBJECTIVE this study was aimed at characterizing the craniofacial structures, i.e. the facial skeleton, cranial base, dentition, pharyngeal airway space, and the hyoid bone position, in healthy preschool children without sleep-related breathing disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS from lateral cephalometric radiographs taken of 92 children for diagnostic purposes, 45 were selected for the present ...

This cephalometric study evaluated an early nonextraction treatment approach for patients with severe vertical skeletal dysplasia and maxillary transverse constriction. Thirty-eight patients, 8.2 years (+/- 1.2 years) of age, were treated for 1.3 years (+/- 0.3 years) with lip seal exercises, a bonded palatal expander appliance, and a banded lower Crozat/lip bumper. The bonded palatal expander ...

pyknodysostosis is a rare bone disease that has autosomal dominant trait. it is characterized by short stature, diffuse osteosclerosis, acro-osteolysis, finger, and nail abnormalities. other features include open fontanelles and sutures, relative proptosis and obtuse mandibular gonial angle with relative mandibular prognathism. intraoral features such as dental abnormalities also have been repo...
