Mandibular morphology in monozygotic twins: a cephalometric study.
BACKGROUND The understanding of relative effects of genetics and environmental factors on mandible growth would increase effectiveness of orthodontic therapy and treatment planning. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether the skeletal morphology of mandible is phenotypically alike in two individuals in a pair of young adult monozygotic (MZ) twins. METHODS The 90 twin pairs were class...
متن کاملCraniofacial growth in juvenile Macaca mulatta: a cephalometric study.
This paper describes a study of normal craniofacial growth of the juvenile rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta). Serial data of 13 young monkeys of specific dental age were studied for a five month period by cephalometric radiography and the metallic implant technique. Growth patterns were described and localized growth changes quantified to determine the range of variability. Variability was found w...
متن کاملObesity and craniofacial variables in subjects with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome: comparisons of cephalometric values
BACKGROUND The aim of this paper was to determine the most common craniofacial changes in patients suffering Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) with regards to the degree of obesity. Accordingly, cephalometric data reported in the literature was searched and analyzed. METHODS After a careful analysis of the literature from 1990 to 2006, 5 papers with similar procedural criteria were sele...
متن کاملCraniofacial morphology in Chinese female twins: a semi-longitudinal cephalometric study.
It would be of benefit to have a better understanding of the relative effects of genetics and environmental factors on craniofacial parameters when undertaking orthodontic therapy and treatment planning. However, there is a lack of such information in pre-adolescents. The aim of this study was to verify the degree of genetic and environmental contribution to the growth of the facial skeleton in...
متن کاملEffects of hypodontia on craniofacial structures and mandibular growth pattern
INTRODUCTION This study was performed to examine craniofacial structures in persons with hypodontia and to reveal any differences, that may occur, when agenetic teeth are only found in the maxilla, the mandible or in both jaws. The groups consistent of 50 children (33 girls, 17 boys) aged between 9 and 13.5 years were analyzed and assigned to three subgroups. Group 1 = upper jaw hypodontia. Gro...
