OBJECTIVE To investigate dental appearance and cephalometric features, using a sample of orthognathic and/or orthodontic patients. A special interest was to identify the relationship of the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) with anteroposterior basal bone discrepancy (APBBD) and cephalometric indicators. MATERIALS AND METHODS A full sample of 159 patients in two Japanese hospitals was used. Each p...

For orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning there are various ways to assess the jaw discrepencies. Using parameters such as ANB, Wit’s appraisal, Beta, Yen, W angles, with some limitations. To overcome these, MKG angle Tau were proposed.
 Aim objective: The present study assesses predictability of its correlation previous parameter. Materials methods: A total 105 lateral cephalograms...

INTRODUCTION In this retrospective study, we investigated treatment outcomes in Class III surgical-orthodontic patients. METHODS Records of 151 consecutively completed Class III surgical-orthodontic patients (overjet, 0 mm or less) were obtained from 87 consultant orthodontists in the United Kingdom. Pretreatment and posttreatment cephalometric radiographs were analyzed. RESULTS Bimaxillary...

INTRODUCTION Few studies utilized cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate soft tissue dimensions in malocclusion patients. The aim of this study was to analyze the three-dimensional (3D) soft tissue relationships of adult patients according to their gender and skeletal sagittal class using CBCT Materials and methods: The study sample consisted of 96 CBCT images of patients of both gend...

Maxillomandibular analysis relates the upper and lower jaw. The anteroposterior relationship of maxilla mandible through both angular linear measurements is used to assess sagittal jaw relationship. To evaluate skeletal maxillomandibular changes in patients with class I malocclusion after extraction non-extraction orthodontic treatment Solan population. Cephalometric radiographs before 50 were ...

Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the extent of genetic influence and environmental contribution to craniofacial growth and development. Materials and methods: A total of 15 pairs of twins were selected and divided into monozygotic (8) and dizygotic (7) with the help of DNA fingerprinting. Lateral cephalograms were taken. Linear measurements—anterior cranial base, posterior cranial bas...

The value VF,n(a0, . . . , an, b) = a0 + a1b+ a2b 2 + · · ·+ anb of a polynomial of degree n ≥ 1 over a field F can be computed by Horner’s rule using no more than nmultiplications in F , and it is optimal (for many fields, including the reals R and the complexes C) for the number of multiplications and/or divisions required, cf. Pan [1966], Winograd [1967, 1970]. We show that Horner’s rule is ...

Cells at the anterior boundary of the neural plate (ANB) can induce telencephalic gene expression when transplanted to more posterior regions. Here, we identify a secreted Frizzled-related Wnt antagonist, Tlc, that is expressed in ANB cells and can cell nonautonomously promote telencephalic gene expression in a concentration-dependent manner. Moreover, abrogation of Tlc function compromises tel...
