Mandibular asymmetry in unilateral and bilateral posterior crossbite patients using cone-beam computed tomography.
OBJECTIVE To test the hypotheses that (1) there is no difference in mandibular asymmetry between the crossbite and normal side in a unilateral crossbite group (UCG) and between the right and left sides in a bilateral crossbite group (BCG) and a control group (CG); and (2) there is no significant difference in mandibular asymmetry among crossbite groups and control group. MATERIALS AND METHODS...
متن کاملOrthodontic retreatment of a Class III patient with significant midline asymmetry and bilateral posterior crossbite
Posterior crossbite might cause serious long-term functional problems if not early treated. Nevertheless, in older patients, treatment might include palatal expansion in order to correct such malocclusion. In view of the above, this article aims at reporting late correction of bilateral posterior crossbite associated with Angle Class III malocclusion, right subdivision, with consequent midline ...
متن کاملAssessment of condylar growth by skeletal scintigraphy in patients with posterior functional crossbite
Objectives: This study evaluates the condylar growth activity in 10 patients with functional posterior crossbite before and after correction, using the mandibular bone skeletal scintigraphy. Methods: Patients received endovenous injection of radioactive contrast (Technesium-99m labeling, sodium methylene diphosphate). After two hours, planar scintigraphic images were taken by means of a Gamma c...
متن کاملClass III malocclusion with unilateral posterior crossbite and facial asymmetry*
This article reports on the orthodontic treatment performed on a 36-year-old female patient with skeletal and dental Class III pattern, presenting with a left unilateral posterior crossbite and mandibular asymmetry, and a relatively significant difference between maximum intercuspation (MIC) and centric relation (CR). The treatment was performed with maxillary dental expansion, mandibular denta...
متن کاملCondylar position in children with functional posterior crossbites: before and after crossbite correction.
The purpose of ttu’s project was to determine whether functional posterior crossbites in children influence the position of the mandibular condyle and assess the effect of crossbite correction on condylar position. Ten children from four to nine years of age with functional posterior crossbites were treated by maxillary expansion. Standardized transcranial temporomandibularjoint radiographs wer...
