Three-dimensional Surface Changes in the Mandible during Growth and Development
Three-dimensional analysis of mandibular growth provides the potential for pedodontists, orthodontists and surgeons to prescribe treatment that works in harmony with the individual growth of the patient. Despite efforts by 3D pioneers, the visualization of growth and development remains reminiscent …

Bone Mineral Density Analysis for Evaluation of Cervical Vertebral Maturation
… is a useful tool for detecting the status of mandibular growth. However, the current CVM method based on two dimensional cephalometric radiographs may not fully include all factors that may be involved in bone maturation. For instance, the current CVM cannot account for changes of bone mineral …

Skeletal and Dental Components of Class II Division 1 Correction with the MARA Compared to the Standard Edgewise Appliance
… both dentally and skeletally by enhancing mandibular growth. The purpose of the study was to quantify differences in the amounts of skeletodental change based on treatment (MARA and Standard Edgewise) in Class II Division 1 patients. The sample consisted of 2 groups of Class II Division 1 …

Evaluation of the Treatment Effects of the Functional Regulator of Fränkel in the Correction of Angle Class II Malocclusions
… has been used to restrain forward maxillary growth, or to distalize the maxilla. However, there is evidence that suggests that the majority of Class II skeletal relationships are due to a retrusive mandible, rather than a protrusive maxilla. Functional appliances are designed to alter the …

Riabilitazione protesica ed implanto-protesica di pazienti in età evolutiva affetti da Displasia Ectodermica
… permit jaws expansion and a correct pattern of growth. Materials and Methods. Complete removable dentures were provided to allow for normal physiological development and a corrected masticatory function. Initial maxillary and mandibular impressions were made with smallest stock trays and …

Three-dimensional image analysis for quantification of tooth movements and landmark changes
… clinical application for the 3D methods was a mandibular growth clinical trial. The purposes of this study were to quantify skeletal landmark movements, and compare two widely used appliances, Herbst and MARA. The results showed that (1) the Herbst appliance caused mandibular forward movement …

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 …

Craniofacial Changes Following Nonextraction Orthodontic Treatment: A Long-Term Cephalometric Analysis
… cranial base, midface, maxilla, mandible, maxillomandibular relationships, dental relationships, and the soft tissue profile that occurred at an average of 12.4 years posttreatment. Descriptive and inferential statistics were calculated to see whether the posttreatment changes were statistically …

Cephalometric Evaluation of Bionator Therapy in the Early Treatment of Class II Malocclusions
… with 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 …

Abstract Effect of timing on treatment outcomes and surgical complications of orthognathic surgery in Class II patients
… surgery. The severity of the malocclusion and growth potential play an important role in the treatment decision. Treatment involving orthognathic surgery is usually recommended after active growth is over to minimize relapse. On the other hand, improvement of a severe skeletal deformity and …

Esthetic Evaluation of Edgewise Orthodontic Treatment in Matched Class II, Division 1 Subjects, with and without a MARA
… has measurable benefits, (1) it enhances mandibular growth and (2) it reduces ANB by moving B Point forward rather than restraining maxillary growth. It seems, however, that integumental profiles, along with variations in lip dimensions and other features outside the orthodontist’s …

Dental and Buccal Bone Stability After Rapid Maxillary Expansion and Fixed Orthodontic Treatment
The objective of this study was to quantitatively evaluate, via CBCT, the dental and osseous effects of patients who had completed comprehensive orthodontic treatment with rapid maxillary expansion (RME) in conjunction with Ricketts prescription brackets. Thirty consecutive patients (16 males, 14 …
