It has been shown that children born extremely preterm (EPT) often suffer from medical complications and growth restrictions in early childhood. Catchup growth diminishes these effects but the children are known to have lower weight, height, and head circumference as school children. Effects on enamel development have been shown. How this affects the dento-alveolar outcome during adolescence is...

The purpose of the present study was to obtain quantitative values for human skull structures in a cross-sectional analysis of offspring and their parents. The offspring were classified into three groups according to age. For each of 11 maxillo-facial and nine dento-alveolar structural angular measurements, the mean and SD were calculated for each set of paternal, maternal, midparent and offspr...

Cranio-dento-facial findings in a case of Noonan syndrome in a 13-year, 3-month-old male are reported. Oral examination of the patient revealed a narrow, high arched palate, malocclusion and congenitally missing teeth. Even though cephalometric measurements showed an increased vertical facial pattern (GoGn/SN = 38.46 degrees ), a severe deep bite (9 mm) was evident. Noonan syndrome is character...

Hypertrophic olivary degeneration is a transsynaptic form of degeneration, which is also a result of primary or secondary lesion and can damage the dento-rubro-olivary pathway. The dento-rubro-olivary pathway was first described by Guillain and Mollaret and is referred to as "the triangle of Guillain and Mollaret". Multiple factors can destroy the dento-rubro-olivary pathway, such as surgical o...

The purpose of this study was to find a safe and effective analgesic alternative to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for patients undergoing dento-alveolar surgery who could not tolerate NSAIDs. We have compared on a double blind, randomized basis the efficacy of Tramadol hydrochloride with Diclofenac Sodium. Sixty patients undergoing third molar surgery were divided into two grou...

Purpose. Craniofacial morphology is usualy described by the head (cephalic index) and face form (prosopic index). The aim of this study was to establish the existence of correlations between the cranial and facial types and the dento-maxillary anomalies. Material and Methods. Data were collected from two groups of patients (a control group of 42 patients without dental anomalies and a test grou...

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar uma revisão de literatura acerca do tema traumatismo dentoalveolar (TDA), abordando desde os fatores etiológicos até tratamentos. Foi realizada mediante o levantamento nas bases dados SciELO, PubMed e LILACS com as palavras-chaves “Traumatismos Dentários'', “Avulsão Dentária” “Assistência Odontológica” referente ao período 2005 a 2022, sendo sele...

The purpose of this study was to find the skeletal, dental & soft tissue changes following a nonextraction orthodontic treatment regimen in mild to moderate class 2 skeletal base relationships in the adult population. 46 mild to moderate class 2 skeletal base relationships were treated with fixed orthodontic appliances in the adult permanent dentition with non-extraction approach. The patients ...

Tricho-dento-osseous syndrome (TDO), an uncommon form of ectodermal dysplasia is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder which is characterized by inherited defects in tissues arising from epithelial-mesenchymal interaction. Genetic studies have revealed that it is caused by mutation in the DLX3 gene. TDO presents with a great phenotypic heterogeneity and studies have suggested that this heterog...
