The aim of This study was to identify the skeletal and dentoalveolar
components in Syrian adult subjects whom have an anterior open
bite by comparison with the normal occlusion subjects.
This study showed elongation of upper and lower incisors,
o
f upper molar height and increasing of anterior facial increasing
height (P<0.05) in anterior open bite group compared with natural
occlusion group .
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.
All the analysis of craniofacialpatterns is essential since a considerable amountof
dental compensation can mask the severity of a malocclusion. Disagreement prevails over
the standards that should be used to judge the individual values.In this stu
dy, a method is
presented—the multiharmony method [MHM], which assists in treatment planning.The
approach was applied to a data set of 75 Syrian adults [35 males and 40 females, mean age
23 years] that had not received orthodontic treatment. They were selected frompatients
enrolled at Tishreen University Dental colleage, Lattakia, Syria. The subjects had an ideal
or near-ideal occlusion [Class I molar relationship, not more than 4 mm overbite and
overjet, and no missing teeth] and a well-balanced face.With multiple regression analysis,
the expected value that each angle should take in a norm individual when the remaining
angles are given is estimated. The residual difference between the measured angle and its
expected value then indicates the deviation from a harmonic appearance in the respective
angle. The MHM can serves as a supportive tool for the orthodontic expert in the
diagnosiss and decision for potential treatment.
Mandible articulates with the cranium via the TMJ. All the components of the TMJ,
including the TMJ disc, seem to be associated with altered characteristics of the
craniofacial complex and its growth. However, the exact role of the TMJ disc thickne
ss
during the process of the facial growth is not clear yet.
Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate the association between the TMJ disc
thickness and the facial growth determined according to Jarabak in adult male subjects
with no clinical or MRI symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Disorders.
It is generally agreed that growth in palatine results from bone formation at the
palatine sutures and lengthening of the alveolar processes, but the extent to which these
two sites contribute to the depth and length of the hard palate remains unso
lved. Hence,
professionals should use quantitative assessments of the hard palate, which allow more
accuracy in the diagnosis and assessment of this structure.
Aim investigating the relationship between the length and depth of the skeletal hard
palatine with facial growth type in adult subjects using CBCT scan.
A prospective comparison clinical study was designed to
evaluate the effectiveness of the open bite bionator and the
upper posterior bite plane with a crib in the early treatment of
skeletal anterior open bite .
The bite plane /C sample (G1) incl
uded 20 subjects, 11
girls and 9 boys. The average age was 8.6 Years . The OBB
sample (G2) contained 20 subjects, 8 girls and 12 boys. The
average age was 8.8 years . Lateral cephalograms were
analyzed at T1 and T2 (T2 : after one year of treatment ) to
study the changes of the hard and soft tissues by using a special
program known as ADOrthoA.
Cephalometric superimpositions are the most commonly means used to assess
the orthodontic teeth movement – especially- in cases of extraction - with their attendant risks and
difficulty, therefore dental casts were an alternative way for serial ass
essment. So the aim was to evaluate
the stability of the medial end of the third palatal ruga as a landmark in maxilla in extraction cases, and
the possibility of using it in the mandible.
Assessment the changes in chin morphology after harvesting bone graft from
the symphysis using cephalometric radiographs.
Cephalometric evaluation of the upper air ways to obtain normative
measurements of the upper airway in the Syrians healthy adults.
Subjects included 70 healthy patients,
(age range, 22-24 years) with permanent occlusion on all teeth, class 1 on fi
rst molars and canines,normal
overjet(2-3 mm) and normal overbite(not more than 1\3 buccal surface of the lower central incisor), no
spaces or crowding teeth,Syrian nationality,no prior orthodontic treatment and with no functional
disorders. Thirteen cephalometric airway measurements:the width of nasopharynx, oropharynx,
hypopharynx, vertical pharyngeal length, thickness and length of the soft palate ,relative position of the
hyoid bone, and length and hieght of the tongue, were obtained.
to evaluate the immediate craniofacial vertical changes associated with the
maxillary advancement by using zygoma anchored external distraction osteogenesis device regarding to
Prn height , Vl height and, Pog` height .
