ABSTRACT Objective: To compare changes in pharyngeal airway volume and minimal cross-sectional area (MCA) between patients undergoing rapid maxillary expansion (RME) a matched control group to identify markers for predicting using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials Methods: Pre- posttreatment CBCT scans were selected of children who had RME (14 girls 12 boys; mean age, 12.4 years) along with (matched chronological skeletal gender, mandibular inclination) underwent orthodontic...
Recently, studies have performed three-dimensional analyses of upper airways in children. However, there was a lack airway delineation according to anatomical boundaries and/or easily mobile soft-tissue landmarks were used. The aim the present study define new margins children on CBCT bony and validate method.25 scans randomly selected from larger database containing prior orthodontic treatment (14 girls 11 boys; mean age, 10.9 ± 2.5 years). Scans evaluated by two observers. Specific head...
Abstract Aims To evaluate the influence of lateral cephalometric radiograph on orthodontists’ diagnosis and treatment planning decisions. Methods Five patients with full pre-treatment records were selected to represent a spectrum malocclusions. The provided in web-based questionnaire emailed 510 Australian registered orthodontists. Participants asked formulate plan for randomised patient case. control group received whilst intervention did not. two groups’ diagnostic accuracy was determined...
Abstract Background Proposed skeletal changes achieved by functional appliances (FA) with reference to stable structures (structural method) have received relatively little attention compared conventional cephalometric measurements (conventional method). Using the two methods, aims of this study were (1) determine as a result FA treatment; and (2) identify associated upper-airway volume minimum cross-sectional area (MCA). Methods Pre- post-treatment CBCT scans selected from 73 treated...
Infant oral mutilation is the practice of removing developing tooth germs, commonly mandibular canine, in infants up to age 1 year. Subsequent complications include missing, impacted or hypoplastic permanent anterior and canine teeth. We report on a case bilaterally missing lower canines thought be due infant mutilation. It important that general dental practitioners are aware this resulting when treating families from sub-Saharan East Africa.
