background:   materials and methods:   determine possible significances in the relation of smile line to angle occlusion class, overbite and overjet and arch form. a p   results:   conclusion:   and important relation between some occlusal parameters and smile design, which must be considered. within the limitations of such studies, it might be concluded that there is a significant chi-square t...

The aim of this study was to provide detailed information concerning clinically relevant occlusal traits and the prevalence of occlusal anomalies in an orthodontically relevant period of dental development. Four hundred and ninety-four German schoolchildren (237 males and 257 females), median age 9 years, were orthodontically examined. Overjet and overbite were measured to the nearest 0.5 mm, a...

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the extent of genetic influence and environmental contribution to dentofacial growth and development. Materials and methods: 15 pairs twins were selected and divided into monozygotic (8) and dizygotic(7) with the help of DNA finger printing analysis. Study models of the twins were taken. The parameters like overjet, overbite, U/L inter premolar width, ...

This study evaluated the influence of intrusion mechanics combined with anterior retraction on root resorption of the maxillary incisors. A sample of 56 patients was divided into two groups: group 1 comprised 28 patients (12 females and 16 males), presenting with an increased overjet and deep overbite (6.48 and 4.78 mm, respectively) treated with reverse curve of Spee intrusion mechanics and gr...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of individual traits of malocclusion in a sample of Turkish orthodontic patients. STUDY DESIGN The present study was based on the examination of dental casts, intraoral photographs and panoramic radiographs of 1507 orthodontic patients (884 females and 623 males). The relationship of the first upper and lower molars accordi...

BACKGROUND The position and arrangement of teeth as well as the entire scheme of occlusion differs from one individual to the other .The purpose of this study was to examine differences in position and inclination of incisors, overjet, overbite and lower arch crowding in subjects with different depths of curve of Spee and to determine correlations between depth of curve of Spee and these variab...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Orthodontists often find challenges in treating the anterior open bite and maintaining the results. PURPOSE This retrospective study was aimed to evaluate the stability of corrected open bite in the retention phase during permanent dentition. MATERIALS AND METHOD A total number of 37 patients, including 20 males and 17 females, with the mean age of 18±2.1 years at t...

Two previous articles described horizontal interarch relations with a simple model developed. This paper required further development of the horizontal relations to allow vertical overlap to be studied. An analysis of orthodontic and dental-prosthetic models provided values to refine horizontal description then guide vertical calculations. Tooth thickness and angles of the maxillary teeth were ...
