The dental and skeletal dimensions of individuals with Class I skeletal pattern in puberty were compared. Eighty patients with Class I malocclusion were selected, independent of the vertical relations (overbite) of the incisors. The sample was divided into 3 groups: normal, short and excessive lower anterior face height, based on facial proportions. The dental and skeletal measurements of the 3...

Orthodontists correct dental malocclusion, but major facial skeleton deformations (skeletal malocclusion) are often subject to surgical correction. Several speech pathologies associated with both of the occlusal anomalies mentioned above. The majority articulation disorders and primary functions cannot be improved without skeletal This study aimed investigate outcome multimodal logopaedics trea...

The orthodontic treatment of class III malocclusion with a maxillary deficiency is often treated with maxillary protraction with or without expansion. Skeletal and dental changes have been documented which have combined for the protraction of the maxilla and the correction of the class III malocclusion. Concerning the ideal time to treat a developing class III malocclusion, studies have reporte...

Correction of skeletal Class II malocclusion with camouflage orthodontic treatment generally requires the extraction maxillary first premolars to provide space for retraction incisors. Retraction incisors changes position and dimensions dental arch, which can cause in tongue posture affect upper airway. The purpose this study was determine relationship between premolar on airway malocclusion. T...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the effects on vertical dentoskeletal dimension produced by cervical headgear (CHG) or Pendulum (P) both followed by full fixed appliances in growing patients with Class II malocclusion. MATERIAL AND METHODS The CHG group (CHGG) consisted of 40 patients (25 females, 15 males) with a mean age of 11.5 years. The P group (PG) comprised 40 patients (21 females, 19 males) with...

Objective: Mandibular prognathism is inadaptability between skull and mandible and is one phenotype of class III malocculsion. Polydiastema may be present together with class III malocclusion. Skeletal class III malocclusion with mandibular prognathism can be diagnosed by cephalometric parameters. Study Design: A 22-year-old man complaining about difficult mastication and speech was referred to...

OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of a modified alternate rapid maxillary expansion and constriction (Alt-RAMEC) protocol in combination with facemask (FM) in Class III growing patients. SETTING AND SAMPLE POPULATION Thirty one Class III patients (17 males, 14 females) were treated with a modified Alt-RAMEC/FM protocol at the Department of Orthodontics of the University of Florence. MATERIAL...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the skeletal, dental, and soft-tissue changes in late-adolescent patients treated with Jasper Jumpers applied with sectional arches. The study sample consisted of 30 subjects (15 treated, 15 untreated) with skeletal and dental Class II malocclusion. Our study was carried out on 75 lateral cephalometric films. Among these radiograms, 15 were taken before...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare upper airway widths among skeletal Class I malocclusion subjects with different vertical facial patterns. METHODS The sample included a total of 99 lateral cephalograms of post pubertal individuals (18.19 ± 1.76 years old). The vertical facial pattern was determined by the Vert index. The McNamara method was used to quantify upper airway widths. ...
