Despite recent development of AI, prediction of the surgical movement in the maxilla and mandible by OGS might be more difficult than that of tooth movement by orthodontic treatment. To evaluate the p...
599 pairs from 3 institutions were used as training, internal validation, and internal test sets and 201 pairs from other 6 institutions were used as external test set. DEM-GCNN model (IEM, learning t...
In both internal and external tests, DEM-GCNN did not exhibit significant difference from ground truth in all landmarks (ANS, PNS, B-point, Md1crown, all P > 0.05). When the accumulated successful det...
We developed a robust OGS planning model with maximized generalizability despite diverse qualities of lat-cephs from 9 institutions....
Measuring the maximum occipitofrontal circumference only once at birth or within 24 h after birth may lead to misclassifications of microcephaly. This study compared the head circumference (HC) of new...
This prospective study included 1131 live births between February and May 2019 with a gestational age > 27 weeks. All newborns had their HC measured at birth or within 24 h after birth as well as on D...
Paired sample t-test analyses found a statistically significant increase in HC measured on the DOL3 compared with HCs of the same newborns at birth or within 24 h of birth. The mean HC increase was 0....
Serial HC measurements on DOL3 or before newborns' discharge is crucial to classifying congenital microcephaly....
This study aimed primarily to analyze the three-dimensional (3D) changes in the pharyngeal airway (PA), and secondarily, the hyoid bone (HB) and the craniocervical (CC) following stabilization splint ...
Thirty-five adult patients with TMD and MD, who were treated using SS with a mean age of 25.14 ± 6.11 years, were enrolled in this retrospective clinical study. Pre- and post-therapeutic cone-beam com...
SS therapy was administered for a period of 9.49 ± 4.02 months. The oropharyngeal airway space showed a significant decrease in sagittal width. The hypopharyngeal surface area, volume, MCA, and sagitt...
SS therapy in TMD patients with MD mainly results in narrowing of the hypopharyngeal region, no change in HB position and improvement in head posture. These results undoubtedly assist in diagnosis and...
Identifying the prevalence of adenoid hypertrophy (AH) and craniofacial factors associated with this condition requires studies with random sampling from the general population, and multiple criteria ...
LCRs of 517 12-year-old children (286 males, 231 females) randomly selected from the general population were retrospectively retrieved. AH was defined using three criteria (At/Nd, Ad-Ba/PNS-Ba, 1-Npaa...
The prevalence of children with AH was 17.6% (according to At/Nd), 19.0% (according to Ad-Ba/PNS-Ba), and 13.9% (according to 1-Npaa/Npa). Children with AH presented greater antero-posterior jaw discr...
The prevalence of children with AH ranged from 13.9 to 19.0% based on LCR. Greater antero-posterior maxillo-mandibular discrepancy and mandibular retrusion were independently associated with higher li...
This case series describes the soft tissue changes following extraction treatment in two patients with diverse lip thickness, but with similar baseline parameters including: labial competence, soft ti...
To evaluate treatment changes after total maxillary arch distalization using the casted palatal plate compared with buccal miniscrews....
This was a randomized, parallel, two-arm, single center trial. Participants were young adults with class II dental relationships and normal or horizontal growth patterns. The patients were treated wit...
Forty patients (33 females and 7 males; mean age 20±3.1 years) where enrolled. A significant distalization of U6 was observed in both groups (4.33mm in the plate group and 1.88mm in the miniscrews gro...
Both the casted palatal plate and buccal miniscrews can be viable devices for total distalization of the maxillary arch in the treatment of class II patients. The casted plate may be considered when m...
This study aimed to explore the relationship between skeletal patterns and the frequency of sella turcica bridging in a sample of young Turkish adults in order to provide a better understanding of the...
A total of 90 individuals aged between 18 and 25 years were examined in this study. The individuals were classified according to their skeletal pattern, specifically Class I, Class II, and Class III. ...
The mean length, depth, and anteroposterior diameter of sella turcica were 7.02±2.13, 7.56±1.38, and 10.54±1.3 mm in Classes I-III, respectively. There was no significant difference between the dimens...
The normal dimensions, shape, and bridging of the sella turcica can be used by the orthodontist for diagnosis, treatment planning, and evaluation of various pathological conditions associated with the...
Orthognathic surgery is considered nowadays as a revolutionary treatment option for treating skeletal discrepancies and severe malocclusions in the sagittal, vertical and transverse dimensions. This s...
An electronic search was conducted on various databases: Medline via PubMed, The Cochrane Library, EBSCO-host, and Web of Science. The search was established on a well-defined research question follow...
Fifteen studies were included for qualitative analysis. Seven studies evaluated the accuracy of soft tissue prediction, seven focused more on the accuracy of hard tissue and one study assessed both ha...
Computer assisted 3D simulation protocols allow for more precise repositioning of the maxilla and/or mandible compared to conventional 2D methods. However, 3D soft tissue prediction using simulation s...
Since the number of patients diagnosed with Down syndrome seeking orthodontic treatment is increasing, clinicians could contribute by applying diagnostic modalities used frequently in the orthodontic ...
In this retrospective study, archive records of 24 individuals with Down syndrome were compared to 48 healthy controls matched for age and gender. Parameters such as sella anterior, midpoint, and post...
Statistically significant differences were found for sella anterior height, sella midpoint height, sella posterior height, sella maximum height, sella length, and sella area. All the aforementioned va...
Subjects with Down syndrome presented significantly increased sella turcica dimensions as well statistically significant differences in shape compared to healthy controls....
Childhood is an important period for lip-closing strength (LCS) development, and failure to acquire LCS during childhood leads to various adverse health effects, such as mouth breathing. The purpose o...
The participants were divided into training and control groups. Both groups comprised 123 children aged 3-4 years, and only the training group received lip and facial training (i.e., opening and closi...
The LCS of children in the training group significantly increased after training compared with that in the control group, whether the analysis included all children or children with ILS alone. Lip and...
Lip and facial training for children with ILS effectively improved LCS and lip morphology, thereby preventing increased lip protrusion....
