چکیده

OBJECTIVE To investigate dental appearance and cephalometric features, using a sample of orthognathic and/or orthodontic patients. A special interest was to identify the relationship of the Dental Aesthetic Index (DAI) with anteroposterior basal bone discrepancy (APBBD) and cephalometric indicators. MATERIALS AND METHODS A full sample of 159 patients in two Japanese hospitals was used. Each patient was assessed with a preorthodontic dental cast and cephalometric radiography. RESULTS Malocclusion with APBBD was more prevalent among high DAI subjects (P  =  .034, OR  =  1.04, 95% CI: 1.00-1.08), Class III malocclusion patients (P  =  .048, OR  =  2.32, 95% CI: 1.01-5.34) and male patients (P  =  .008, OR  =  2.96, 95% CI: 1.33-6.61). Participants scoring 88 points (the highest score in this sample) of the DAI had 16.84 times the risk of APBBD of those who scored 17 points (the lowest score in this sample). Patients with APBBD presented with a greater adjusted ANB angle (t  =  -8.10, P < .001) and a larger adjusted A-B/NF appraisal (t  =  -9.65, P < .001). The SNA angle (P < .001), the SNB angle (P  =  .002), the adjusted ANB angle (P  =  .001), and the adjusted A-B/NF appraisal (P  =  .035) were associated with DAI scores in cubic regression models. CONCLUSION This study has demonstrated a relationship between the DAI and APBBD. Feasibility of using the adjusted ANB angle and the adjusted A-B/NF appraisal to assess severity of APBBD has been confirmed. The DAI may provide a supportive method to evaluate orthognathic needs. Future investigations are indicated.

Assessment of lower limb alignment: supine fluoroscopy compared with a standing full-length radiograph.

BACKGROUND While a full-length standing anteroposterior radiograph of the lower extremity provides the best radiographic method for assessing limb alignment, other methods must be used intraoperatively. We have employed intraoperative fluoroscopy with use of an electrocautery cord to assess limb alignment in the supine patient. METHODS We retrospectively compared the measurements of lower lim...

Angle Class III malocclusion with anteroposterior and vertical discrepancy in the final stage of growth

Angle Class III malocclusion is characterized by an anteroposterior dental discrepancy with or without anteroposterior and vertical skeletal changes. Patients usually seek orthodontic treatment because facial appearance is compromised in most cases. The present study describes the clinical case of a 12-year and 6-month-old girl in her final stage of pubertal growth presenting Class III malocclu...

The present study was carried out to assess the correlation between the aesthetic component of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN) and the Child Perception Questionnaire (CPQ11-14) in determining the need for orthod...
