OBJECTIVES To study the development of craniofacial and dental arch morphology in children with sleep disordered breathing in relation to adenotonsillar surgery. SUBJECTS AND METHODS From a community-based cohort of 644 children, 393 answered questionnaires at age 4, 6 and 12 years. Out of this group, 25 children who were snoring regularly at age 4 could be followed up to age 12 together with...

Tricho-dento-osseous (TDO) syndrome is an autosomal dominant trait characterized by curly kinky hair at birth, enamel hypoplasia, taurodontism, thickening of cortical bones and variable expression of craniofacial morphology. Genetic studies have identified a 4-bp deletion in the DLX3 gene that is associated with TDO; however, phenotypic characterization and classification of TDO remains unclear...

Tricho-dento-osseous (TDO) syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant disorder principally characterised by curly hair at infancy, severe enamel hypomineralization and hypoplasia and taurodontism of teeth, sclerotic bone, and other defects. Diagnostic criteria are based on the generalized enamel defects, severe taurodontism especially of the mandibular first permanent molars, an autosomal dominant ...

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) diagnosis requires routine clinical evaluation and radiographic of patients with temporomandibular (TMDs). Various imaging techniques have been described in the literature to evaluate TMJ both symptomatic asymptomatic patients. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), a fast developing method, is currently used often dento-maxillofacial imaging. Due its gre...
