Successful treatment of any orthodontic problem depends on an appropriate diagnosis of its etiology. It is well known that the genetics, as well as environmental factors, play an important role on the etiology of skeletal anomalies. Recent studies and advances in genetic sciences allowed the orthodontists to better understand the effects of genetics on the etiology of dentofacial characteristic...

Introduction: The Purpose of this study was to evaluate dentofacial vertical dimension alteration in patients with class II division 1 malocclusion after the first maxillarypremolar extraction. Methods:This study used 24 cephalogramseach before and after treatment. Dentofacial dimension measured by Sivakumar and Valiathan method. The cephalometric measurements investigated were as follows : man...

Changes or disruptions in the process of mandibular development can happen in the early stages of formation, and the malformations may be isolated or part of a syndrome. Hypoplasia or aplasia of the mandibular condyles indicates underdevelopment or non-development and is associated with multiple craniofacial abnormalities. Patients who experience these congenital deformities may benefit from re...

mark of facial attractiveness.1,2 Skeletal asymmetries generally require surgical intervention to improve facial esthetics and correct any associated malocclusions. The classic approach in volves a presurgical phase of orthodontics, during which dental compensations are eliminated, and a postsurgical phase to refine the occlusion. The presurgical phase can be lengthy, involving tooth decompensa...

â  monetary policy rule is an approach to avoid time inconsistency problem as regarded by new classical economist to choose a time plan for policy making in order to maximize households’ well-being. the foundation of time inconsistency problem is not coincidence of expectations as an ex-ante variable, which is expected variable, with actual variable as an ex-post variable. expectations in fin...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this preliminary study was to assess the nature of associations between selected dentofacial morphological variables and respiratory mode as measured by percent nasality (%N) as part of an ongoing longitudinal study. DESIGN Cross-sectional cohort study. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION The Pediatric Clinical Study Center, Children's Hospital, Columbus, OH. Ninety-eight no...

PURPOSE To verify whether the number of chewing strokes and the chewing time are influenced by dentofacial deformities in habitual free mastication. METHODS Participants were 15 patients with diagnosis of class II dentofacial deformity (GII), 15 with class III (GIII), and 15 healthy control individuals with no deformity (CG). Free habitual mastication of a cornstarch cookie was analyzed, cons...

INTRODUCTION This retrospective study investigates the spectrum of dentofacial deformities, demographic profile, management and surgical outcomes of orthognathic patients treated in the University Hospital in Malaysia. MATERIALS AND METHODS Over a period of 10 years (1989 to 1999), 34 patients with dentofacial deformities who had orthognathic surgery were reviewed; patients with cleft lip and...

This case was presented as part of the American Board of Orthodontics case displays at the 1999 AAO meeting. It was selected to be submitted for the publication in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics by the ABO.
