Introduction The pathogenesis of the dento-maxillary apparatus includes dento-maxillary anomalies as a significant anomaly. These are considered deviations to the normal evolution of the dentomaxillary apparatus, being conditioned by various general and particular factors presenting a multifarious etiopathogenetic mechanism (Schapira 1973). Dento-maxillary anomalies could generate periodontal d...

BACKGROUND This study reports the cephalometric evaluation of a group of adolescent Polish individuals describing dento-facial structure as well as details of incisor position and soft tissue characteristics. The results should reveal morphological features specific to Polish persons and serve as a comparative material for future diagnostic procedures. METHODS The study was based on an analys...

Background Thalassemia is a group of congenital disorders which is characterized by a deficient synthesis of alfa or beta globulin chains in hemoglobin molecules. Due to the problems resulting from changes in face, especially in dento-maxillary regions, such patients require special attention regarding oral health. Thus in this study, we aimed to assess the dento-maxillofacial changes in Beta-t...

Traumatized teeth present a clinical challenge with regard to their diagnosis, treatment plan, and prognosis. Recent developments in imaging systems have enabled clinicians to visualize structural changes effectively. Computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and cone beam computed tomography are among the most commonly used systems for dental and maxillofacial surgery. The purpose of thi...

Levy-Hollister or lacrimo-auriculo-dento-digital (LADD) syndrome is a rare entity with autossomic dominant inheritance occuring as an isolated form or affecting many family generations. Diagnosis is based on the identification of the lacrimal drainage system abnormalities with reduction or absence of tear production and bone, teeth, salivar glands and outer ear abnormalities. A 13 year-old male...

tricho-dento-osseous syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder. immunosuppressive drugs, though critical to the treatment, have undesirable effects on patient's healing process. this is a case report of a 10-year-old female, suffering from tricho-dento-osseous syndrome who was under treatment with penicillamine. as the dental treatment was sought too late, both central and lateral incisors...

The diagnosis of occlusion-generated disorders of the dento-maxillary apparatus represents a sensitive stage within the establishment of the therapeutic means for the functional rehabilitation of dental arches. The laborious effort carried out in order to specify the diagnosis resides in the fact that any trauma arising at the level of any component of the stomatognate system may lead to an occ...
