The primary objective of the study was to assess agreement between orthodontist and patient perception regarding Aesthetic Component Index Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN-AC) at pre-orthodontic treatment levels. secondary determine how well subjective assessment malocclusion correlated with normative Dental Health IOTN (IOTN-DC).A cross-sectional analytical conducted on patients ages 16 25, presenting for initiation orthodontic no history prior treatment. mean age total sample population...
Multiple cephalometric analyses are used to diagnose vertical skeletal facial discrepancy. A multitude of times, these parameters show conflicting results, and a specific diagnosis is hard reach.Hence, this study aimed identify the analysis that performs best for identification pattern in borderline cases.The sample consisted 161 subjects (71 males 90 females; mean age = 23.6 ± 4.6 years). Y-axis, Sella-Nasion mandibular plane angle (SN.MP), maxillary (MMA), Gonion-Gnathion (SN.GoGn),...
The palatal rugae have been used as a reference landmark and identification marker by orthodontists forensic analysts. However, the reliability of remains questionable once an individual is subjected to orthodontic treatment. This study aimed at evaluating changes in pattern after nonextraction, extraction, maxillary expansion lengths shapes were evaluated on pretreatment post-treatment dental casts 168 subjects using Thomas Kotze classification. Extraction treatment significantly reduced...
To evaluate the cephalometric changes in skeletal, dentoalveolar and soft tissue variables induced by Clark's Twin Block (CTB) Class II, Division 1 malocclusion patients to compare these different cervical vertebral maturation stages.Pre- post-treatment/observation lateral cephalograms of 53 60 controls were compared changes. Skeletal maturity was assessed according stages. Pre- mean differences (T2-T1) means Wilcoxon sign rank Mann-Whitney U-tests, respectively. Intergroup comparisons...
To identify the effect of nasolabial angle (NL) on smile and facial profile attractiveness. A cross-sectional study. Place Duration Study: Department Surgery, Section Dentistry (Orthodontics), The Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi, Pakistan, from 31 November 2021 to 28 March 2022. Profile photographs one adult male female subject at rest were altered by Photoshop software NL angles (85°, 90°, 95°, 100°, 105°, 110°). These shown a panel raters comprising three groups, laypersons (LP),...
Numerous cephalometric analyses have been proposed to diagnose the sagittal discrepancy of craniofacial structures.This study aimed at evaluating reliability and validity different skeletal for identification pattern.A total 146 subjects (males = 77; females 69; mean age 23.6 ± 4.6 years) were included. The ANB angle, Wits appraisal, Beta AB plane Downs angle convexity W used assess anteroposterior pattern on lateral cephalograms. sample was classified into Class I, II III groups as...
Narrow airway dimensions due to mandibular deficiency can predispose an individual severe respiratory distress. Hence, treatment with advancement devices at early age might help improving the pharyngeal passage and reduce risk of difficulties. Therefore, aim current study was evaluate mean changes in children treated Clark's twin-block appliance (CTB) followed by fixed orthodontic treatment.Orthodontic records 42 were selected. Records comprised three lateral cephalograms taken start CTB...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Pubertal growth peak is closely associated with a rapid increase in mandibular length and offers wide range of therapeutic modifiability. Objective: The aim the present study was to determine compare mean ages onset duration pubertal among three skeletal classes. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional conducted using lateral cephalograms 230 subjects potential (110 males, 120 females). Subjects were categorized into classes (Class I = 81, Class II 82, III 67),...
Maxillary incisal display is one of the most important attributes smile esthetics.The aim this study was to determine relationship between maxillary at rest (MIDR) and various soft tissue, hard tissue dental components.A cross-sectional conducted on 150 subjects (75 males, 75 females) aged 18-30 years. The MIDR recorded from pretreatment orthodontic records. following parameters were assessed lateral cephalograms: ANB angle, mandibular plane palatal lower anterior total facial heights, upper...
