Control of the height of posterior dentoalveolar regions is of great importance for the correction of skeletal open bite. Traditionally, second premolar extraction facilitates the closure of open bite by inducing a counterclockwise mandibular rotation without molar intrusion. This article reports treatment for a 24-year six-month-old female patient with an open bite and large anterior facial he...

The aim of this study was to verify the relationship between eating disorders (binge eating and bulimia nervosa) and body image dissatisfaction with BMI, anorexigenic and orexigenic factors in adolescents. Thirty-two adolescents, (13 obese [BMI=36.65±5.68] and 19 non-obese [BMI=22.18±3.11]), aged between 14 and 19y, were recruited. Symptoms of eating disorders were measured by self-report quest...

The present case report describes the treatment of a 12-year-old boy who had skeletal Class III malocclusion with concave facial profile, hypodivergent facial pattern with anterior cross bite and deep overbite. The treatment plan included rapid palatal expansion with maxillary protraction and fixed edgewise appliance. The results show that anterior cross bite was corrected and facial esthetics ...

A system was proposed to scan dental models record three-dimensional features seen in the anterior teeth create a database of profiles. Dental casts were randomly selected indentations cowhide leather. Reid Bite Reader used measure bite forces generated by Reynolds Controlled Force Generator make impressions. Using Immersion MicroScribe® 3D, information from 53 bitemark depressions and 62 sets ...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the accuracies of different bite registration techniques for implant-fixed prostheses using three dimensional file analysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Implant fixtures were placed on the mandibular right second premolar, and the first and second molar in a polyurethane model. Aluwax (A), Pattern Resin (P), and Blu-Mousse (B) were used as the bite registration material...

AIM To show the use of an acrylic expander in the treatment of anterior open bite in patient with maxillary constriction and respiratory concern. Study design Clinical report. Setting "Fatebenefratelli" Hospital (Italy). MATERIAL AND METHOD The open bite treatment represents a challenge for orthodontists because it is determined by several complementary factors such as: adenoid reduction, ton...

Mandibular force profiles apply the principles of beam theory to identify mandibular biomechanical properties that reflect the bite force and feeding strategies of extant and extinct predators. While this method uses the external dimensions of the mandibular corpus to determine its biomechanical properties, more accurate results could potentially be obtained by quantifying its internal cortical...

Skeletal open bite is a complex and multifactorial anomaly. There are many reasons for the occurrence of open bite, including skeletal abnormal growth pattern; dental, respiratory, neurologic, and habitual factors; and tongue posture and function. Anterior open bite is one of the most difficult problems to treat in orthodontics. Various treatment modalities for the correction of an anterior ope...

J Korean Assoc Oral Maxillofac Surg 2012;38:284-94) Objectives: The anterior open bite with temporomandibular disorders (TMD) is one of the most challenging cases both orthodontically and surgically. We introduce an intermaxillary traction treatment for patients with anterior open bite and TMD using a skeletal anchorage system (SAS). Materials and Methods: This study was comprised of 52 patient...
