Changes in Integumental Dimensions of the Face Following Orthodontic Treatment: A Long-term Study
<p>Most studies of facial growth in adults have relied on cross-sectional data. Longitudinal studies in this area are scarce because it is difficult to collect data on adults across time and because the changes are less dramatic than during childhood or adolescence. An interesting sample exists in …

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 …

Facial identification from online images for use in the prevention of child trafficking and exploitation
… vast number of images received, machine-based facial recognition could help law enforcement and other organisations to match faces more efficiently. The use of facial recognition technology has become more popular within our society, but where rapid juvenile growth changes facial features …

Dependence of Craniofacial Growth on Stages of Cervical Vertebral Maturation and Stages of Mandibular Canine Mineralization
… records but also from the relative amounts of growth the orthodontist perceives will take place during treatment. The purpose of this study was to determine if pretreatment biological age, as assessed from cervical vertebral (CV) maturity and/or mandibular canine mineralization, are …

Three-dimensional assessment of facial morphology in infants with cleft lip and palate
Differential growth was demonstrated between facial features and within some facial features. In particular, the columella, nostrils and philtrum did not grow significantly after surgery, although this would be considered normal in the age group studied. Facial growth in children with UCL and UCLP …

CBCT Analysis of the Pharynx: Effects of Age and Sex
… affects the volume of airflow, thereby affecting facial growth patterns, the risk of sleep apnea as well as breathing and swallowing patterns. Availability of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems in dentistry make evaluation of the pharyngeal structures practical. The airway is easily …

Association of Nasal Septum Area and Deviation with Anteroposterior Maxillary Position and Facial Skeletal Asymmetries
During growth of the craniofacial structure, the nasal septum is posited to exert a downward and forward effect on the midface. This phenomena is well documented in vitro and on animals but is still uncertain in humans. This study examined the nasal septum association with craniofacial structures …

The impact of age-related variables on facial comparisons with images of children: algorithm and practitioner performance
… for passport control and visa issuance purposes. Facial comparison is one method that may be used to achieve this. Facial comparison can be conducted using an algorithm (within a facial recognition system), manually by a facial comparison practitioner, or by a combination of the two. Much of the …

A Continued Investigation of Craniofacial Growth in Infant Heart Transplant Recipients Receiving Cyclosporine
… cyclosporine as adversely affecting craniofacial growth in the pediatric population. <sup>16,18 </sup>The purpose of this follow-up study was to continue to evaluate the possible untoward effects of long-term use of cyclosporine on craniofacial growth in a group of infant heart …

Treatment profile for cleft lip and palate
… of cleft lip and palate at The Australian Cranio Facial Unit based at the Adelaide Children's Hospital. Case notes of children admitted at the Adelaide Children's Hospital over last 25 years for treatment of cleft lip and palate were examined. This thesis is centred on the types of surgical …

Eine kephalometrische Longitudinalstudie kieferorthopädisch behandelter Patienten im Alter von 8 bis 18 Jahren
In einer kephalometrischen Longitudinalstudie wurden 919 Fernröntgenseiten-aufnahmen von 290 kieferorthopädisch behandelten Jugendlichen im Alter zwischen 8 und 18 Jahren ausgewertet. Das Durchschnittsalter der Patienten bei Behandlungsbeginn (Zeitpunkt t0) betrug 11,5 Jahre (+/- 1,9 Jahre). Bis zu …

Cephalometric Evaluation of Bionator Therapy in the Early Treatment of Class II Malocclusions
… most of the correction coming from mandibular growth rather than maxillary restriction. None of the dental variables differed statistically except the position of the maxillary incisors which were slightly more proclined in the two-phase group, and this was due to operator preference. The …

Cephalometric Evaluation of One-Phase and Two-Phase Treatment Alternatives in Matched Class Ii Subjects
… phase. Matching criteria focused on the bony facial characteristics, notably ANB, NAP, Y Axis, AOBO, FMA, overjet, and overbite. The question was whether the cephalometric results at the end of treatment were comparable. Two-phase subjects were treated on average 2 years longer than the …

CBCT Evaluation for Risk Analysis in Implant Placement: A Retrospective and Validation Study
… biological, and functional complications. Facial growth, especially in the anterior-posterior dimension, continues up to approximately 18 years of age; subtle but continuous remodelling affecting facial proportions may persist throughout adulthood as skeletal maturity progresses. This …
