AIM In this teleradiographic study, the authors investigate the correlations between facial kind, breathing pattern and cephalic posture. METHODS The research was conducted on a 94 schoolchildren sample. For each patient teleradiographic analysis in-L-L projection and rhinomanometric examination were performed. On the basis of clinical evidences, rhinomanometric results and nasopharyngeal space...

Forty-five patients with mandibular retrognathism treated by surgical mandibular advancement by sagittal split osteotomies were evaluated cephalometrically before treatment at the intermaxillary fixation release, and 6 months postoperatively. The treatment resulted in appreciable improvement of the mandibular retrognathism, and the facial morphology was changed positively toward normal values. ...

Introduction: Modification of overjet and posterior crossbite (PC) can affect the maximum bite force (MBF), in turn affecting the shape of the gonial angle (GA). Aims: To analyze MBF in PC and the correlation between MBF and GA in adults. Method: The evaluation was performed in 160 individuals, i.e., 88 men and 72 women (aged 18 to 39 years), divided into two groups: without PC, comprising 130 ...

OBJECTIVES Accurate localization of the inferior alveolar canal (IAC) is extremely important in some dental treatments. Anatomical variation of the canal means that it can be difficult to locate. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of the gonial angle (GA) size and IAC position using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS In this in vitro study, 61 dr...

BACKGROUND The ideal male jaw angle has not been established. With the advent of additive manufacturing, precise customized shaping is a reality. This study aimed to define the ideal masculine mandibular angle as an aid for 3-dimensional (3D) design. METHODS An Internet survey was conducted using black/white photographs of celebrities and non-celebrities. Preferences regarding gonial angle (p...
