OBJECTIVES To investigate the availability of correction of mandibular plane using software for vertical measurements in cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) according to the sites of the mandible. METHODS CBCT scans of six dry mandibles were performed at 0-, 5-, 10-, 15-, and 20-degree angles relative to CBCT scanning table. Using the imaging software, mandibular planes of the different angl...

In a series of articles spanning 8 years, Ed Ellis reviewed the clinical results of the treatment of 478 mandibular angle fractures managed by eight different techniques. During a series of benchtop investigations employing polyurethane synthetic mandible replicas, Rich Haug investigated the biomechanical behavior of approximately 15 different techniques designed to reconstruct mandibular angle...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between dental arch form and the vertical facial pattern determined by the angle between the mandibular plane and the anterior cranial base (Sella-nasion/mandibular plane angle (SN-MP)) in skeletal class II untreated patients. METHODS A sample of 73 Caucasians patients with untreated skeletal class II in permanent dentition ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence of impacted mandibular second molar (MM2) and the association between MM2 impaction and crowding. The clinical significance of the angle between first and second mandibular molar and of the space between the first mandibular molar (MM1) and the anterior margin of mandibular ramus in MM2 impaction were also evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this retrospec...

The mandibular angle, an important roentgenocephalometric parameter, undergoes marked changes during growth and development. The dynamics of alterations of the entire mandibular angle and its two segments was studied in a sample of 200 roentgenograms of eugnathic subjects divided into homologous age groups at 10-year scale intervals to the adult age. For each age group, three roentgenocephalome...

It has been shown that the blood supply of the coronoid process, mandibular angle, and condyle of the rat, monkey, and man arises from arteries that supply the muscles attaching to these processes, and generally not from the inferior alveolar artery which primarily supplies the mandibular body and teeth.'-5 It is the purpose of this study to demonstrate the intraosseous blood supply of the guin...

The aim of the present study was to establish the Tweed's norms for Nepalese people, compare the values between the Nepalese male and female samples as well as to compare with the Caucasians. One hundred lateral cephalogram was taken by the same x- ray technician and later traced by manually and all three angular parameters Frankfort Mandibular plane Angle (FMA), Frankfort Mandibular Incisal An...

The objective of the present study was to investigate frontal morphological asymmetry in the mandibular molar region in terms of tooth axis and skeletal structures using vertical MPR sections in jaw deformity accompanied by facial asymmetry. Subjects consisted of 15 patients with jaw deformity accompanied by facial asymmetry aged 17.4 years to 37.8 years. There were four men and eleven women. B...
