      INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to assess the differences in airway shape and volume among subjects with various facial patterns.

      METHODS: Cone-beam computed tomography records of 62 nongrowing patients were used to evaluate the pharyngeal airway volume (superior and inferior compartments) and shape. This was done by using 3-dimensional virtual surface models to calculate airway volumes instead of estimates based on linear measurements. Subgroups of the sample were determined by ...

      PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to evaluate whether changes in the technique for mandibular setback surgery since the introduction of rigid internal fixation have improved postoperative stability in Class III correction with setback alone and 2-jaw surgery.

      PATIENTS AND METHODS: Cephalometric (skeletal and dental) outcomes for 17 patients with mandibular setback alone were compared with outcomes in 83 patients with 2-jaw surgery for Class III correction. Demographic ...

      INTRODUCTION: Posterior open bite has several possible causes, including primary failure of eruption (PFE) that affects all teeth distal to the most mesial involved tooth, mechanical failure of eruption (MFE) (primarily ankylosis) that affects only the involved tooth or teeth, and soft-tissue interferences with eruption (other).

      METHODS: Radiographs and other clinical records for 97 cases of failure of posterior eruption submitted for consultation were analyzed to further characterize ...

      INTRODUCTION: Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is characterized by nonsyndromic eruption failure of permanent teeth in the absence of mechanical obstruction. Recent studies support that this dental phenotype is inherited and that mutations in PTH1R genes explain several familial cases of PFE. The objective of our study was to investigate how genetic analysis can be used with clinical diagnostic information for improved orthodontic management of PFE.

      METHODS: We evaluated a family (n = ...

      INTRODUCTION: To understand orthodontic tooth movement, a method of quantification of tooth position discrepancies in 3 dimensions is needed. Brackets and wires now can be fabricated by CAD/CAM technology on a setup made at the beginning of treatment, so that treatment should produce a reasonably precise duplicate of the setup. The extent of discrepancies between the planned and actual tooth movements can be quantified by registration of the setup and final models. The goal of this study ...

      Preadolescent children with overjet greater than 7 mm were randomly assigned to observation only, headgear (combination), or functional appliance (modified bionator) and were monitored for 15 months. Of the 166 patients who completed this first phase of the trial, 147 continued to a second phase of treatment. The data from the first 107 patients to complete phase 2 are available and form the basis of this progress report. During phase 1, on average there was no change in the jaw ...

      INTRODUCTION: Temporary skeletal anchorage devices now offer the possibility of closing anterior open bites and decreasing anterior face height by intruding maxillary posterior teeth, but data for treatment outcomes are lacking. This article presents outcomes and posttreatment changes for consecutive patients treated with a standardized technique.

      METHODS: The sample included 33 consecutive patients who had intrusion of maxillary posterior teeth with a maxillary occlusal splint and ...

      In a 2-phased, parallel, randomized trial of early (preadolescent) versus later (adolescent) treatment for children with severe (>7 mm overjet) Class II malocclusions who initially were developmentally at least a year before their peak pubertal growth, favorable growth changes were observed in about 75% of those receiving early treatment with either a headgear or a functional appliance. After a second phase of fixed appliance treatment for both the previously treated children and the ...

      INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to assess alterations in the 3-dimensional (3D) position of the mandibular rami and condyles in patients receiving either maxillary advancement and mandibular setback or maxillary surgery only.

      METHODS: High-resolution cone-beam computed tomography scans were taken of 21 patients before and after orthognathic surgery. Ten patients with various malocclusions underwent maxillary surgery only, and 11 Class III patients received maxillary ...

      Cephalometric data from 61 patients who had undergone superior repositioning of the maxilla via LeFort I osteotomy by means of the downfracture technique were analyzed to evaluate stability of skeletal and dental landmarks at various time intervals up to 1 year. None of these patients had concurrent mandibular ramus or body osteotomy except genioplasty and all had at least 2 mm intrusion at the maxillary incisor or molar. In approximately 20% of the patients, there was 2 mm (critical ...

      Early treatment for Class II malocclusion is frequently undertaken with the objective of correcting skeletal disproportion by altering the growth pattern. Because the majority of previous studies of growth modification for Class II malocclusion have been based on retrospective record reviews, the efficacy of such an approach has not been well established. In this controlled clinical trial, patients in the mixed dentition with overjet > or = 7 mm were randomly assigned to either early ...

      OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the registration of 3D models from cone-beam CT (CBCT) images taken before and after orthognathic surgery for the assessment of mandibular anatomy and position.

      METHODS: CBCT scans were taken before and after orthognathic surgery for ten patients with various malocclusions undergoing maxillary surgery only. 3D models were constructed from the CBCT images utilizing semi-automatic segmentation and manual editing. The cranial base was used to register 3D models of ...
