Filter by:The aim of the present study was to retrospectively compare the clinical use of high-pull headgear versus AMCOP bioactivators for hyperdivergent pediatric patients. Cephalometric radiographs from pediatric patients treated at the Unit of Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry, Section of Dentistry, Department of Clinical, Surgical, Diagnostic and Pediatric Sciences, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy and at the private practice of Dr. Cardarelli, Isernia, Italy will be collected. Cephalometric tracing from Giannì analysis will be performed at the baseline (T0) and after 18 months of treatment (T1).
The aim of the present study is to investigate the baseline upper airways dimensions in adult patients belonging to all skeletal classes
This study hypotheses that using low medial cut osteotomy BSSO in mandibular setback can be an efficient and effective method to limit the bony segment interferences , decreasing muscles stripping during osteotomy ,decrease condylar torque and so securing preoperative condylar position during BSSO in comparison with using high medial cut BSSO.
It is crucial to maintain the anatomic condylar positions during orthognathic surgery. Condylar positions are affected directly under general anesthesia because of joint and muscle relaxation. Possible unwanted changes in the joint position may cause incorrect positioning of the jawbones. This could affect the success of the surgery in terms of function and facial aesthetics causing the need for a second surgery. Our aim is to evaluate whether the use of MR Splint has a statistically significant effect on muscle relaxation-induced condyle position deviations under general anesthesia in Class III Laterognathia patients.
The objective of this randomized controlled study will be to evaluate the dental and skeletal effects of maxillary protraction with a facemask, associated with MARPE and Class III elastics in patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate (CLP) with maxillary retrusion, compared to HYRAX type maxillary expanders. The investigators will examine differences in treatment times, along with skeletal, dental and soft tissue changes.
The investigators are studying how speech is effected by jaw and tooth position in jaw surgery patients. Eighty percent of our jaw surgery patients have speech pathologies, compared to five percent of the general population, but speech pathologists do not understand why. The investigators hypothesize that open bites and underbites prevent most patients from being able to pronounce words normally and surgical correction will lead to improvement in speech. Patients will be audio recorded speaking and patients' tongue gestures ultrasound recorded before and after their jaw surgeries to observe what changes occur in their speech and tongue movements.
This study evaluates the cephalometric effects of a clear mandibular advancement appliance for the treatment of skeletal class II growing patients suffering from mandibular deficiency.
