Abstract Background Various conservative and surgical approaches exist to treat Robin sequence (RS), but their effects on facial profile mandibular catch-up growth are unclear. A functional treatment concept, used in our centre for 25 years, includes an individualized palatal plate with a velo-pharyngeal extension intensive feeding training. Methods We performed prospective study objectively describe profiles infants RS treated the above concept. Infants isolated were admitted tertiary...
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) arthritis, commonly considered oligoarthritic/asymptomatic, occurs frequently in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-MRI) has proved to be a sensitive diagnostic tool this context. We compared the reliability of clinical examinations Gd-MRI results diagnosing condition. Patients JIA (134 consecutive) underwent routine examinations. The items examined were clicking, tenderness (TMJ/adjacent...
The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are frequently affected in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Early detection is challenging, as major variation present scoring TMJ pathology on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Consensus-driven development and validation of an MRI system for TMJs has important clinical utility timely improvement diagnosis serving outcome measure. We report a multi-institutional collaboration toward developing JIA.Seven readers independently assessed...
Abstract Purpose Craniofacial disorders (CD) affect the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP). Therefore, this study evaluates OHIP in orthodontic patients with cleft lip and/or palate or Robin sequence compared to healthy controls (C). Methods A prospective, cross-sectional was conducted. health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) assessed using OHIP-14 questionnaire, responses categorized into functional and psychological well-being items. In addition, considered influence crossbite, appliance...
Robin sequence (RS) is characterized by mandibular retrognathia, glossoptosis and upper airway obstruction. Whether catch-up growth may occur in RS yet controversial. Our functional less invasive treatment including the Tübingen Palatal Plate (TPP), early oral feeding orofacial stimulation promote growth. We evaluated effect of on growth, expressed Jaw index, sleep study results weight gain infants admitted with isolated syndromic RS, born at or referred to our center between 6/2015...
Abstract Background Advanced digital workflows in orthodontics and dentistry often require a combination of different software solutions to create patient appliances, which may be complex time-consuming process. The main objective this technical note is discuss treatment craniofacial anomalies using technologies. We present fully digital, linear workflow for manufacturing palatal plates infants with based on intraoral scanning. Switching scanning infant care advantageous as taking...
Abstract Background Orthodontic treatment of newborns and infants with Robin-Sequence using the Tübingen Palatal Plate (TPP) is a complex procedure that could benefit from simplification through digitalization. The design velar extension (spur) palatal base determines success treatment. Therefore, prototype must be produced inserted under endoscopic supervision in order to determine appropriate shape, length position spur. This technical note demonstrates fully digital workflow for...
Abstract Robin sequence is characterized by mandibular retrognathia, airway obstruction, and glossoptosis; 80%–90% also have a cleft palate. Various treatment approaches exist, although controlled studies are rare, objective assessment of outcomes that address the leading clinical issues, namely obstructive sleep apnea failure to thrive, essential. Sleep‐disordered breathing may be detected using cardiorespiratory polygraphy or polysomnography. Pulse oximetry alone miss infants with frequent...
The aim of this study was to evaluate intraoral scanning (IOS) in infants, neonates, and small children with craniofacial anomalies for its feasibility, duration, success rate. Impression taking vulnerable patients can be potentially life-threatening, the risk airway obstruction aspiration impression material. advantage increasingly digitalized dentistry is demonstrated.IOS captured Trios 3® (3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark) scanner. underlying disorders were divided into cleft lip palate (CLP),...
To assess the long-term functional orthodontic outcome of Tübingen palatal plate (TPP) in children with Robin sequence (RS) comparison to age- and sex-matched healthy controls.Between 09/2019 10/2020, we performed assessments 41 at our Department Orthodontics. Included were patients RS (17 non-syndromic; four syndromic) controls (n = 22, average age both groups 9.9 y). Facial analyses 2D images, digital study casts cephalometric measurements made.The examinations showed no statistically...
To investigate the upper airways for anteroposterior width against different growth patterns and alterations during various Class II treatments.
Objective. To develop a consensus-based, standardized, short (< 3 min) clinical examination protocol to assess the multidimensional, orofacial manifestations of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Methods. The study was conducted by multidisciplinary task force from Temporomandibular Joint Juvenile Arthritis Working Group (TMJaw). used an acknowledged sequential approach involving (1) global online questionnaire study, (2) systematic literature review and consensus meetings identify...
Due to dental diseases, anatomical restrictions, and mixed dentition, the reduction in number of teeth displacement tooth germs pose challenges orthodontic treatment, limiting anchorage options. The presented case demonstrates an advanced treatment solution using digital CAD/CAM-technologies medical imaging for creation a mini-implant template. A 12-year-old male patient experiencing delayed eruption, multiple impacted germs, maxillary constriction underwent intraoral scanning CBCT....
This study evaluates masticatory efficiency in orthodontic patients with craniofacial disorders compared to controls without, considering the effect of an appliance and malocclusion. A total 119 participants (7–21 years), divided into a disorder control group (n = 42 n 77; mean age 13.5 ± 5.2 14.2 3.3years) were included. Masticatory was evaluated using standard food model test, where masticated test bodies analyzed, parameters like particle number (n) area (mm2) recorded. newly introduced...
