Background: Previous studies regarding various types of malocclusions have found correlations between the angle of the base of the skull and prognathism. Aim of the study: This cephalometric study sought to investigate the function of the cranium base angle in different types of malocclusion on a group of Romanian subjects. Materials and methods: Forty-four cephalometric radiographs were select...

This study investigated, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), the spatial mandibular positioning after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) in Class II Division 1 malocclusion. This prospective study evaluated 17 children (mean initial age 10.36 years old) presenting Class II, Division 1 malocclusion and skeletal maxillary constriction that underwent to RME Haas' protocol. CBCT was performed ...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the cephalometric alterations in patients with Angle Class II division 1 malocclusion, orthodontically treated with extraction of two maxillary premolars. METHODS The sample comprised 68 initial and final lateral cephalograms of 34 patients of both sex (mean initial age of 14.03 years and mean final age of 17.25 years), treated with full fix...
