This clinical report describes prosthetic rehabilitation of posterior open bite relationship in a patient with several missing teeth and skeletal Class III malocclusion. Primary diagnostic esthetic evaluations were performed by mounting casts in centric relation and estimating lost vertical dimension of occlusion. Exclusive treatments were designated by applying overlay removable partial dentur...

Objectives: To evaluate the treatment outcomes between Twin Block and AdvanSync2 ® appliances by comparing skeletal, dentoalveolar, soft tissue changes. Materials Methods: Radiographic data of 20 patients were retrospectively analyzed. Data selected from in their skeletal growth spurt as evaluated cervical vertebral maturation method (CVMI 2, 3, 4), with class II malocclusion characterized retr...

This report describes the correction of a clinical case of malocclusion with anteroposterior discrepancy and transverse, sagittal and vertical deficiencies. A nonextraction technique was used to preserve space in the dental arches and control facial growth for the correction of the sagittal skeletal relationship and of overbite. The mechanics adopted efficiently corrected malocclusion: all func...

Background: Malocclusion can present itself in numerous ways. It is present in every society, but the norms and pattern vary. In order to correct occlusal disharmony, it is imperative to identify its pattern in the population so that proper resources can be directed toward its diagnosis and treatment planning. The aim of this study was to determine of skeletal and dental malocclusion in a sampl...

OBJECTIVE To examine the relationship between third-molar agenesis and different skeletal malocclusion patterns. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pretreatment records of 1046 orthodontic patients (aged 13-17 years; mean age, 14.07 ± 1.27) were used. Third-molar agenesis was calculated with respect to genders, number of missing teeth, jaws, and skeletal malocclusion patterns. The Pearson chi-square test ...

The likelihood of birth defects in orofacial tissues is high due to the structural and developmental complexity of the face and the susceptibility to intrinsic and extrinsic perturbations. Skeletal malocclusion is caused by the distortion of the proper mandibular and/or maxillary growth during fetal development. Patients with skeletal malocclusion may suffer from dental deformities, bruxism, te...

By means of computer-based statistical methods, several types of Class II malocclusion have been discovered with defining horizontal and vertical characteristics. Of the six horizontal types, four are severe syndromes, one is a loose, ill-defined grouping of cases with mild skeletal features, and one has only the dental features of Class II. Five vertical types associates with Class II were als...

Digitalization and additive manufacturing offer new possibilities in the of individualized medical dental products. In paper we present results first 30 consecutive growing patients (15 males 15 females), with a mean age 13.69 years (SD = 1.26), who were treated for mandibular retrognathia (skeletal Class II malocclusion), using fixed sagittal guidance (FSG) appliance, individually manufactured...

OBJECTIVE To investigate skeletal and dental changes after application of a mandibular setback surgery-first orthodontic treatment approach in cases of skeletal Class III malocclusion. METHODS A retrospective study of 34 patients (23 men, 11 women; mean age, 26.2 ± 6.6 years) with skeletal Class III deformities, who underwent surgery-first orthodontic treatment, was conducted. Skeletal landma...
