The purpose of this study was to compare the mesio-distal and vertical position impacted maxillary canines on panoramic radiographs with labio-palatal root resorption adjacent teeth CBCT (ConeBeam Computed Tomography). A total 54 patients 69 were included in study. On radiographs, (Sector I - V), position, angulation evaluated. Labio-palatal evaluated CBCT. Labial impaction most frequent sector...

Background: Palate is a complex structure separating oro- and nasopharynx. However, reconstruction of the defects of palate is much simpler because of the versatile mucoperiosteal flaps. Here, we present our experience of palatal mucoperiosteal flap used in different situations. Methods: Fifteen patients of palatal as well as buccal mucosa defects were reconstructed using either free or pedicl...

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Speech bulbs and palatal lift prostheses are used to improve oral-nasal balance in speakers with hypernasality resulting from velopharyngeal dysfunction. Fabricating such speech prostheses is often a protracted process, and the nasopharyngeal impression can be uncomfortable for the client. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to develop and test a modular palatal lift pr...

The management of cleft lip and palate can vary among patients because the size of a cleft defect and its anatomy vary. Although treatments involving orthodontics and surgery have been developed that can help a large number of children with cleft lip and palate, there are always unusual clefts that defy conventional treatments. In such cases, with each gain made during treatment, there also is ...

case reported by Kamala, et al.(3) palatal paralysis was seen on the seventeenth day of illness. The other common causes of palatal paralysis including poliomyelitis and diphtheria were excluded in this case. In view of the emergence of multidrug resistant enteric fever with various complications, we suggest that typhoid fever should be considered in the differential diagnosis of palatal palsy ...

This critical review examines the orofacial and speech effects of palatal plate therapy on children with Down syndrome. Multiple studies, varying in style design, have investigated this topic. Features analyzed in these studies include tongue protrusion, mouth occlusion, tooth eruption, sucking habits, articulation and facial expression. Overall, there is suggestive evidence that palatal plate ...

Females with Turner syndrome (TS), X chromosome monosomy, are characterized with palates that are narrow in width, normal in height and which are commonly associated with the presence of lateral palatine ridges. The aim of the present study was to assess the relationship of tongue position, palatal dimensions, and the presence of the lateral palatine ridges in TS subjects. The study also aimed ...

BACKGROUND Well-designed clinical studies on the palatal development in preterm and low birthweight infants are desirable because the literature is characterized by contradictory results. It could be shown that knowledge about 'normal' palatal development is still weak as well (Part 1). The objective of this review is therefore to contribute a fundamental analysis of methodologies, confounding ...

This study investigated the morphometric changes that occur in palatal rugae during orthodontic treatment. The potential impact of these changes on the individuality of the palatal rugae patterns and on the use of palatal rugae patterns in human identification was also explored. Fifty pairs of pre- and post-orthodontic treatment dental casts were used. The palatal rugae patterns were compared b...
