Eves and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine if obesity impacts craniofacial dimensions in adolescent and teenage subjects. Twenty-one cephalometric measurements were selected as a basis for comparison between normal weight, overweight and obese children. The subjects were weighed, measured, and placed into one of the three groups based on their Body Mass Index (BMI). Lateral cephalometric radiographs were taken, traced and digitized on all patients. The various measurements were analyzed to determine if there were any statistically significant differences between any of the measurements when compared on the basis of BMI. The following seven measurements showed a statistically significant difference when evaluated on the basis of BMI: SNA, maxillary unit length, SNB, corpus length, mandibular unit length, soft tissue convexity and soft tissue facial height ratio. Comparisons were also made on the basis of gender and age. Three of the measurements for gender showed a statistically significant difference: S-N, maxillary unit length and mandibular unit length. Similarly, three of the measurements for age showed a statistically significant difference: maxillary unit length, corpus length and mandibular unit length.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to determine age-related changes of the lower face by age and by gender. The secondary purpose of this study is to stress the importance of the clinical exam for orthodontic patients in the frontal view, the way most patients perceive themselves. Also, individualized treatment planning with age-appropriate incisor display is crucial for esthetic outcomes. Materials and Methods: Specific dimensions of the lower face were measured at patients initial clinical exam before starting orthodontic treatment. All patients were from Dr. David Sarver's private practice in Vestavia Hills, AL collected from 1/1/2002-11/4/2014. The following parameters were recorded in millimeters: commissure height, philtrum length, maxillary incisor length to lip at rest, maxillary incisor show on smile, gingival display on smile, maxillary incisor length, maxillary incisor width, and lip incompetence. The data was input into OrthoTracTM software. The patients ranged in age from six years old to seventy-six years old; two thousand females and 1,650 males comprised the dataset. For analysis, the patients were first separated by gender and then by age. The average and the standard deviation for each parameter were calculated. The linear regression analysis between age groups and parameters and lip incompetence compared to philtrum-commissure height difference were also calculated. Results: The soft tissue of the lower face changes consistently over time. Males have more pronounced changes than females; gingival display remains constant in both sexes. There was an increasing linear association between philtrum lengths, commissure heights, and maxillary crown height for both sexes. There was a decreasing linear association for maxillary incisor to lip at rest, gingival display on smile, and lip incompetence in both sexes. As lip separation increases, the philtrum-commissure length difference also increases, especially after a difference of nine millimeters. Conclusions: A through initial clinical exam is essential for treatment planning. Males and females have similar soft tissue trends over time. The lips consistently lengthen with time, decreasing incisor display at rest, maxillary incisor display on smile, and lip incompetence. The application of soft tissue changes that occur over time is important for treatment planning and determining age-appropriate incisor display.

Download or read book 3D Diagnosis and Treatment Planning in Orthodontics written by Jean-Marc Retrouvey and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-03-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated book is a wide-ranging guide to modern diagnostics and treatment planning in orthodontics, which are mandatory prior to the initiation of any type of comprehensive treatment. The importance of three-dimensional (3D) imaging techniques has been increasingly recognized owing to the shortcomings of conventional two-dimensional imaging in some patients, such as those requiring complex adult treatment and those with temporomandibular joint dysfunctions or sleep disturbances. In the first part of this book, readers will find clear description and illustration of the diagnostic role of the latest 3D imaging techniques, including cone beam computed tomography, intra-oral scanning, and magnetic resonance imaging. The second part explains in detail the application of 3D techniques in treatment planning for orthodontic and orthognathic surgery. Guidance is also provided on the use of image fusion software for the purposes of accurate diagnosis and precise design of the most appropriate biomechanical approach in patients with malocclusions.
Download or read book Relationship Between Facial Attractiveness and Occlusal Treatment Outcomes written by Chad E. Fowler and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between pretreatment facial attractiveness and posttreatment occlusal outcome in orthodontic patients. A randomized sample of forty-seven patients (26 males, 21 females) was selected for inclusion in this study. Orthodontic evaluators rated pretreatment patient photographs (frontal smile, frontal, profile) using a 100 mm visual analog scale (VAS). Occlusal outomes were evaluated using percentage reduction in weighted Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) index scores and the American Board of Orthodontics objective grading system (ABO-OGS). Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated to assess the relationship between pretreatment VAS attractiveness ratings and posttreatment occlusal scores. There was a fair correlation between facial attractiveness and reduction in weighted PAR index scores for all patients (r=.41, p

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Helping patients achieve an optimal quality of life through patient-centered treatment planning should be the ultimate goal of all oral health care providers. However, this issue extends beyond the realm of the individual clinician's office. This text presents quality-of-life research from various fields, including psychology, public health, and general health care; discusses how a patient-centered approach can be applied to basic oral and craniofacial research, clinical dental practice, community dental health issues, and dental education; and addresses how oral health-related quality of life relates to treating and understanding different patient populations, such as children with special needs, medically compromised patients, patients with oral cancer, and patients with chronic facial pain. Also discussed is how factors such as race/ethnicity, gender, and age can affect oral health-related quality-of-life concerns and treatment strategies. Finally, the book offers an outlook on the role that oral health-related quality of life will play in future research and dental education.
