Dentofacial Transverse Dimensions in Palestinian Adults
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Objectives: To determine the posteroanterior cephalometric norms in Palestinian adults, and to compare the Palestinian norms with the norms of other ethnic groups. Materials and Methods: PA cephalometric radiographs for 70 Palestinian adults aged between 17-23 years were selected on the basis of Class I molar relationship, good facial symmetry, and no history of previous orthodontic treatment. Fourteen transverse linear measurements, including 10 skeletal measurements and 4 dental measurements, were determined on each radiograph. Results: Dentofacial transverse dimensions in Palestinian adults were generally similar to Rocky crease in Palestinian men compared to women except for the inter-`orbital distance. Regarding dental transverse measurements, both maxillary and mandibular inter-molar widths increased were nearly similar in both genders. Conclusion: These posteroanterior cephalometric norms are recommended to be used when formulating a treatment plan for this particular ethnic group.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess new three-dimensional (3D) cephalometric variables, and to evaluate the relationships among skeletal and dentoalveolar variables through 3D cephalometric analysis. METHODS Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were acquired from 38 young adults (18 men and 20 women; 22.6 ± 3.2 years) with normal occlusion. Thirty-five landmarks were digit...
متن کاملLong-term adaptations to changes in the transverse dimension in children and adolescents: an overview.
ge Can the transverse dimensions of the dental arches be widened in a stable fashion over the long term? This question continues to challenge clinicians and researchers. Most orthodontists cite the correction of crossbite as the primary reason for altering the transverse dimension with rapid maxillary expansion (RME). A less obvious but more common orthodontic problem, whose etiology in part is...
متن کاملPitch, roll, and yaw: describing the spatial orientation of dentofacial traits.
The value of systematically enhancing the Angle classification by including transverse and vertical characteristics in addition to anteroposterior relationships for the face and the dentition is universally accepted. Three aeronautical rotational descriptors (pitch, roll, and yaw) are used here to supplement the planar terms (anteroposterior, transverse, and vertical) in describing the orientat...
