This study analyzed the effect of perennial allergic rhinitis on dental and facial skeletal characteristics. Twenty-five allergic children who were apparent mouth breathers, their 25 siblings who did not have the disease and were apparent nose breathers, and 14 nasal breathing control subjects were examined medically, dentally, and cephalometrically. Compared with their siblings, the allergic s...

BACKGROUND An in-depth understanding of the nuances of facial anatomy is the best means of preventing complications during facelift surgery. An appreciation of the operative details is complicated not only by the complexity of the anatomy but also by the variability in the nomenclature used. OBJECTIVES The authors have attempted to clarify these issues by detailing the relationships of the li...

Objective: Was to assess the mandibular asymmetry on panoramic radiograph (OPG) as compared PA (posterior anterior) cephalogram. Materials and method: A total of 15 participant’s records with age above 12 years; both genders; Pakistani nationals; clear OPG cephalogram available; full biodata available were included. Radiographs participants unerupted or missing teeth in anterior posterior regio...

The mandible is the largest and strongest part of craniofacial bone face. movable facial bone. has two main structures, body ramus mandible. These structures meet form an angle called gonial angle. will change with age because undergo remodeling so that it can cause changes in shape Changes occur be evaluated by means a panoramic radiograph. growth development which mandibular influenced severa...

Pycnodysostosis is an uncommon autosomal recessive sclerosing bone disorder which is characterized by short stature and generalized diffuse osteosclerosis. Patients usually have a large head with separated sutures, open fontanels, aplasia of frontal sinuses, obtuse mandibular gonial angle, and acroosteolysis of the distal phalanges. This case report showed a 25-year-old female with features pat...

The purpose of this study was to determine whether symphysis morphology could be used as a predictor of the direction of mandibular growth and to assess growth changes of the symphysis. Cross-sectional data included lateral cephalometric radiographs of 115 adults (58 women, 57 men) with the longitudinal sample a subset of 62 subjects (30 females, 32 males) at four age groups. The direction of m...
