Aim: To describes step by for the procedures manual cephalometric analysis of facial profile was performed using Ricketts' VERT index through software not specific which accepts any DICOM format cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images. Material and methods: The classification means arithmetic mean values obtained (facial axis, height, mandibular plane angle, lower height arch angle). Result...

Facial appearance has a well-documented effect on perceived leadership ability. Face judgments of leadership ability predict political election outcomes across the world, and similar judgments of business CEOs predict company profits. Body height is also associated with leadership ability, with taller people attaining positions of leadership more than their shorter counterparts in both politics...

The aim of this study was to determine if cephalometric measurement differences occurred between two groups of similarly aged female adolescents which differed with respect to their diagnoses of temporomandibular joint disc position on magnetic resonance images (MRI). One group consisted of 17 female adolescents exhibiting complete bilateral disc displacement affecting the temporomandibular joi...

templates are very useful tools for diagnosis of malocclusions. a number of templates have been provided for some populations in previous years. since craniofacial characteristics of different ethnic groups are not the same, each population needs its own norms. the aim of this study was to provide orthodontic craniofacial templates for 8-16 year old iranian boys and compare dentoskeletal featur...

OBJECTIVES The morphology of the alveolar process determines the retention and stability of prosthetic restorations, thereby determining the result of the therapy. Considering that the edentulous jaws may be affected by the atrophy process, it was hypothesized that the morphology of the alveolar process of the maxilla may be dependent on the anterior facial height and anatomy of the mandible. ...

Background The development of an anthropometric craniofacial database is a necessary multidisciplinary proposal. Aim The aim of this study was to establish facial anthropometric norms and to investigate into sexual dimorphism in facial variables among Kosovo Albanian adults. Materials and Methods The sample included 204 students of Dental School, Faculty of Medicine, University of Pristina....

INTRODUCTION Multiple cephalometric analyses are used to diagnose vertical skeletal facial discrepancy. A multitude of times, these parameters show conflicting results, and a specific diagnosis is hard to reach. OBJECTIVE Hence, this study aimed to identify the skeletal analysis that performs best for the identification of vertical skeletal pattern in borderline cases. METHODS The sample co...

OBJECTIVES To establish the three-dimensional (3D) facial soft tissue morphology of adult Malaysian subjects of the Malay ethnic group; and to determine the morphological differences between the genders, using a non-invasive stereo-photogrammetry 3D camera. MATERIAL AND METHODS One hundred and nine subjects participated in this research, 54 Malay men and 55 Malay women, aged 20-30 years old w...

Background: The use of dots on the nose, and chin as markers for measuring occlusal vertical dimension is common in complete denture construction. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the accuracy of facial measurements while assessing occlusal vertical dimension in edentulous patients. Materials and methods: The study was carried out on 28 edentulous patients. Occlusion rims were constructed...

OBJECTIVE this study was aimed at characterizing the craniofacial structures, i.e. the facial skeleton, cranial base, dentition, pharyngeal airway space, and the hyoid bone position, in healthy preschool children without sleep-related breathing disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS from lateral cephalometric radiographs taken of 92 children for diagnostic purposes, 45 were selected for the present ...
