IDENTIFICATION OF GENETIC VARIANTS THROUGH WHOLE EXOMESEQUENCING IN PHENOTYPES WITH SKELETAL CLASS IIMALOCCLUSION BAD RESPONDERS
Skeletal malocclusions are complex craniofacial growth and developmental problems due to hereditary and environmental factors. They are a set of human morphologic characteristics that both exceed or present deficiency of maxillary and mandibular dimensions, resulting in an improper relationship of …

Cyclic Loading Effects on Craniofacial Strain and Sutural Growth in Pigs
Background: Current craniofacial growth modification devices utilize static forces to modulate sutural growth. Although effective, the application of continuous static forces over several months is not efficient. Evidence on the effects of these orthopedic forces on distant parts of the skull is …

Use of CVM Stages in Assessment of Young Orthodontic Patients to Estimate Growth Potential
<p>Harnessing a patient’s growth to correct parasagittal discrepancies is an important part of Class II correction in orthodontic treatment; however, orthodontists rarely have the opportunity to choose when a patient is referred to them. Diagnostic records can assist the orthodontist in determining …

Influence of External Force to Cranial Bone in the Growth of Facial Bone in Growing Beagles
"목적: 체위성사두와 같이 체위성 두개골변형이 있는 환아는 안면부의 비대칭 변형을 유발할 수 있으며, 이의 교정을 위한 수술은 많은 위험이 따른다. 두개골조기유합증의 수술 후나 체위성사두의 경우에 두개안면부 성장의 방향을 물리적으로 제어할 수 있다면, 또 그 결과가 비가역적이라면 위험한 추가적 수술의 필요성이 적어지게 될 것이다. 두개안면부의 형성은 뇌의 부피 팽창과 관련하여 접해있는 골의 흡수(resorption)와 침착(deposition)을 통해 두개골과 두개저의 모양이 이루어지게 되고, 이 과정을 통해서 형성된 두개저가 …
