Download or read book Orthodontic Management of the Developing Dentition written by Martyn T. Cobourne and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-08-09 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This multiauthor clinical guide provides an evidence-based overview of orthodontic management during development of the dentition. It begins with an illustrated account of normal dental development and then covers the management of problems that are commonly seen during this process. These include acquired problems, such as caries, space loss and dental trauma, developmental anomalies, including variation in tooth number and eruption defects. In addition, detailed consideration is given to the interceptive management of class II and class III malocclusion and transverse discrepancies. There is an emphasis on evidence-based management of these developmental problems and each chapter is richly illustrated with clinical examples.
Download or read book Evaluation of Skeletal Asymmetry in Patients with Posterior Crossbites written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A posterior dental crossbite, in which one or more of the posterior teeth are locked in an abnormal coronal relationship with the opposing teeth of the opposite arch, is a common malocclusion that affects orthodontic patients. Early interceptive treatment is recommended for patients exhibiting a posterior dental crossbite, with a centric relation (CR) and centric occlusion (CO) shift, since it has been suggested that a prolonged mandibular shift resulting from dental interferences may result in an asymmetrical growth of one or both of the jaws. The purpose of this study was to determine if patients with an untreated skeletal and dental posterior crossbite display skeletal asymmetry based upon evaluation of a posteroanterior (PA) radiographic, utilizing constructed reference lines. Sixty subjects where selected from patient files from the State University of New York at Buffalo orthodontic clinic. Thirty patients, 14 years of age and older, were selected for the crossbite group if there was the presence of a dental crossbite involving at least two posterior teeth as well as the presence of a skeletal posterior crossbite, based upon Ricketts PA cephalometric analysis as a ratio of J-J to Ag-Ag less than 0.75. Using the above criteria, thirty patients, 14 years of age and older were selected for the control group if they had a Class I malocclusion without a dental crossbite and skeletal posterior crossbite, based upon Ricketts PA cephalometric analysis as a ratio of J-J to Ag-Ag greater than 0.75. Evaluation of cranial skeletal asymmetry was made on PA cephalograms utilizing constructed reference lines. The observed differences between the ratio (JR-JL/RAG-LAG) of the control and crossbite groups were statistically significant (F = 113.624, df = 1, 56, p 0.001). The results for length of Ag along the vertical reference line showed no significant differences (p>0.05) between the right, and the left sides of the females and the males for both the control and the crossbite groups. The results for the asymmetry index indicated no significant differences (p 0.05) between the control and the crossbite groups. The results for surface area of the triangle indicated that no significant differences existed between the right, and the left sides of the females and the males for both the control and the crossbite groups (p 0.05). The present study is in agreement with those studies that found no link between posterior crossbite malocclusion and asymmetrical growth. Additional studies need to be performed in order to investigate further the true impact that a posterior crossbite has on cranial skeletal structures.

Book excerpt: Comprehensive and accessible resource that covers all crucial aspects of dentofacial and occlusal asymmetries Dentofacial and Occlusal Asymmetries covers all crucial aspects of asymmetries encountered in the stomatognathic region regarding diagnosis, treatment planning, management, and prognosis. Divided into three core sections, the first part focuses on the etiology of asymmetry and whether it is congenital or acquired through disease or trauma. The second and third sections go on to discuss localization and management, providing information on topics such as interception, correction, and camouflage. Specific sample topics covered in the book include: Treatment approaches: interceptive, tooth movements, goal-oriented biomechanics, and jaw repositioning Treatment principles: dentofacial orthopedics, camouflage, and orthodontic-surgical treatment Localization and problem list: medical and dental history, clinical examination, dental cast analysis, and radiographic/imaging assessment Medical, social and psychological aspects: growth disorders and helping children and their families with facial differences Written by a team of renowned experts in the field, Dentofacial and Occlusal Asymmetries will serve as an invaluable resource to postgraduates in orthodontic, pediatric dentistry, and oral and maxillofacial surgery programs as well as orthodontists, pediatric dentists, pediatricians, and oral and maxillofacial surgeons aiming for optimal results in the diagnosis and management of these complex malocclusions and dentofacial deformities.

Download or read book The Surgery First Orthognathic Approach written by Jong-Woo Choi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-01-20 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a comprehensive guide to the surgery-first orthognathic approach for patients with malocclusion and skeletal disharmony, which has been successfully applied by the authors in their practices over the past 15 years. The approach breaks with the time-tested principles of traditional orthognathic surgery in that corrective bone surgery is performed first, without the removal of dental compensations, followed by orthodontic finishing. All aspects are covered with the aid of numerous illustrations, the aim being to provide surgeons with a systematic educational tool that will enable them to introduce the approach into their own practice. In addition, the book addresses one of the hot issues in orthodontics, occlusal plane-altering orthognathic surgery, in which surgical modification of the occlusal plane is employed to treat various types of dentofacial deformity and improve facial proportions. This promises to become a very powerful tool in modern orthognathic surgery.
