Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dento-facial anomalies have been diagnosed for centuries. The diagnosis or observation thereof is reported to date back to the Fifth Century AD where Hippocrates observed and noted numerous craniofacial deformities (Moyers, 1988) Through a complex process of reception, selection and categorizationthe human form particularly the cranium, jaws and related soft tissue structures, have been studied and categorized over the years (Moyers, 1988). Dockrell (1952) focused on the aetiology of malocclusion and through extensive work on the topic, established an equation for the improved identification of aetiology of malocclusion. This equation essentially communicates that a causative factor will act at a specified time, on an identified tissue, to produce particular results. Thus resulting in a deviation from the accepted “normal” relationship. This will result in the development of an archetypally defined, classifiable malocclusion. These so termed causative factors as elicited to in the equation play a pivotal role in the outcomes or resultant malocclusions (Dockrell, 1952). The plasticity in aetiology and resultant Skeletal or dental positional discrepancy should not be overlooked. Multiple factors may act together stabilising each other thus lessening the severity of the expected effect. This research project aims to identify the potential of occlusal bite forces as a causative factor in the “orthodontic equation” and shed light on timing as well as resulting Skeletal and growth effects of variance in occlusal force. Occlusal force is a combined and quantifiable measurement of contributory muscle strength. Through this study a comparative analysis of the occlusal force will be carried out amongst subjects exhibiting differences in age, gender, race, and growth pattern. This study aims to elucidate the influence of occlusal forces and masticatory muscle strength in relation to the resulting craniofacial development. Data was collected from patients exhibiting various dental classes namely Class I, Class II and Class III dental and Skeletal patterns. Bite force strength of patients in primary, mixed and permanent dentition was measured using an occlusal force meter. The occlusal force meter was sourced from a Japanese based company, Nagano Keiki Co. LTD. The readings were done in Kilo newton, which is the standard international (SI) measurement of force. The study population consisted of 180 male and 180 female subjects. This group was split into Skeletal Class I, II and III subjects and then further divided into the three directions of growth (Horizontal, normal and Vertical). The relationship of bite force to Skeletal Class and growth direction was analysed using mean readings from five points of reference on each subject. Analysis of covariance was carried out on the data set with a mean age of 15,33 years (covariant). There was a significant difference found in the bite forces between growth direction and Skeletal Class P

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research aimed for the precise and quantitative assessment of occlusal bite force, along with the recording of electromyographic activity of muscles of mastication with a newly designed bite force recorder. An association between bite force, occlusal wear and various malocclusions has been demonstrated. Future studies of similar nature exploring association of bite force on etiology of malocclusion and its influence on orthodontic treatment are warranted.

Download or read book Endodontic Periodontal Lesions written by Igor Tsesis and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a multidisciplinary evidence-based approach to the management of teeth with lesions of endodontic-periodontal origin. The book opens by addressing the etiology and classification of endodontic-periodontal lesions, and demonstrates its relevance to the daily practice. Specific endodontic, prosthetic, and periodontal considerations that should be incorporated into clinical decision making and treatment planning are then discussed in detail. Subsequent chapters describe modern clinical procedures in periodontal regenerative treatment, describe vertical root fractures as an endodontic-periodontal lesion, examine treatment alternatives following the extraction of teeth with endodontic-periodontal lesions, and discuss possible biological complications in implant supported oral rehabilitation. Finally, a summary chapter considers the integration of clinical factors and patient values into clinical decision making. The text is accompanied by many figures presenting informative clinical examples. The authors are internationally renowned scientists and clinicians from the specialties of Endodontology, Periodontology, and Oral Rehabilitation. Owing to its multidisciplinary and comprehensive nature, the book will be relevant and interesting to the entire dental community.

Download or read book Twin Block Functional Therapy written by William Clark and published by JP Medical Ltd. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twin Block appliances are simple bite blocks that are designed for full-time wear. They achieve rapid functional correction of malocclusion (misalignment of upper and lower teeth) by the transmission of favourable occlusal forces to occlusal inclined planes that cover the posterior teeth. The forces of occlusion are used as the functional mechanism to correct the malocclusion (www.twinblocks.com). Beginning with an introduction to orthodontics and twin blocks, the next chapters describe growth studies and diagnosis and treatment planning. Each of the following sections discusses the use of twin blocks for different types of malocclusion. With a focus on the latest developments in functional therapy, the book offers guidance on diagnosis, treatment planning, case selection, appliance design and clinical management. Written by the internationally recognised Orthodontist William Clark from Fife, UK, who also invented Twin Blocks, this comprehensive guide includes nearly 600 clinical photographs and illustrations.
