introduction: determining the skeletal age and remaining growth potential of patients are important factors in orthodontic treatment. evaluating cervical vertebrae development is a reliable method for determining skeletal age. this study aimed to evaluate the correlation between dental calcification and stages of skeletal maturation. materials and methods: this descriptive cross-sectional study...

Amaç: Yüzün vertikal iskeletsel yapısının gerçekçi değerlendirilmesi amacıyla çok sayıda sefalometrik ölçüm tanımlanmıştır. Çalışmamızın amacı, yüzün yön sınıflamasında kullanılan ölçümlerin birbiriyle uyumunu ve R-açısının güvenilirliğini incelemektir. Gereç Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmada önceden ortodontik tedavi görmüş 75 hastanın (42 kız, 33 erkek)(yaş ortalaması 17,67±1,51) başı kayıtla...

The human mandible is a horseshoe shaped bone, anatomically divided into a body, angle and ramus. It is the only both movable and unpaired facial bone. The mandible defines the profile and appearance of the lower third of the face. Thus it contributes to facial contour, proper occlusion, mastication, airway support, deglutition and speech . Discontinuity of the mandible is caused by trauma, inf...

This study was designed to demonstrate quantitative growth trends in the human upper face region before birth. Photographs of 68 sagittally sectioned fetal heads were measured using a series of linear and angular measurements for changing height, length and shape. Cross-sectional types of data were treated with a statistical model which tested for linearity of the data, correlation between grow...
