Success clinical attempts have been carried out to support fixed functional
appliances by using skeletal anchor plates placed in the symphysis to avoid mandibular incisors
protrusion.
The purpose of this comparative study was to evaluate the correlation between
two radiographic methods used to evaluate skeletal maturation, hand-wrist analysis method and cervical
vertebrae analysis method.
Within the limits of this study, the ce
rvical vertebrae maturation method might mislead the
clinician when treating adolescent skeletal Class II patients at the pubertal growth spurt since it is not
correlated with hand wrist skeletal maturation method.
This study aims to determine the skeletal problems in
sagittal plane in patients with congenital hypodontia. In this
study, 96 cephalograms were taken of Syrian coastal father
and mother. The sample was divided according to gender
and to location
of the missing teeth. The angles SNA, SNB
and ANB were studied.
The asymmetric face is common so that increased interest in it .there are different ways to
assess the asymmetry. Computed tomography is an accurate way that enable the examiner for
reading the face at three planes ,and present three-dimensional in
formation on the cranial
mandibular Complex whereas (3D) analysis is essential for making a precise diagnosis of
craniofacial morphology. Aim : This research aims to study the asymmetric at the facial patterns
malocclusion (class I. Class II) using CT . the research sample consists of 48 CT image (male 23
and female 15)their ages ranged between 18 and 35 years old and did not receive any orthodontic
treatment before, and devided into two groups according to the malocclusion ptterns(17 class II, 31
class I ) . Analysis was performed T. student test then calculated for all the data obtained . This
study showed that a significant difference between the class I and class II malocclusion in each of
the right and left.
