This report presents three cases displaying occlusal changes. Review of literature emphasizes the significance of TMD treatment. Conservative treatment modalities such as counseling, medication, physical therapy and splint therapy may be selected as initial treatment options. Irreversible or invasive treatment, such as orthodontic, prosthodontic, and occlusal adjustment should not be attempted early. In case there is no response to conservative treatment, joint injection, muscle injection, arthrocentesis or arthroscopic surgery might be performed.

Abstract Background: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the type of mandibular and maxillary third molar impaction in different malocclusions and facial growth patterns. Method and materials: In this descriptive cross sectional study, 364 impacted third molars of patients referring to the orthodontic department of Yazd University were assessed radio graphically. Also, the type of malocclusion and the facial growth pattern was determined by analyzing their lateral cephalograms. Collected data were entered to a computer and statistical tests (Chi-square) were carried out using SPSS16. Results: Significant correlation was found between the type of mandibular third molar impaction (based on Pell Gregory classification) and different types of malocclusion. Also, the dominant form of impaction (based on winter classification) among different types of facial growth pattern was the vertical one. Conclusion According to the results of this study, the vertical level of mandibular third molar impaction relative to the adjacent second molar impaction was statistically associated to the type of malocclusion. Also, we found no correlation between the M3s impaction and the type of facial growth pattern. Key Words: Third molar Impaction, Malocclusion, Facial growth pattern Introduction (2010) found higher incidence of mandibular M3s impaction The impacted tooth is one that fails to erupt into the dental in malocclusion class III [3].

  • Skeletal Malocclusion and Genetic Expression: an Evidence
    JDSM REVIEW ARTICLES http://dx.doi.org/10.15331/jdsm.5720 Skeletal Malocclusion and Genetic Expression: An Evidence- Based Review Clarice Nishio, DDS, MSc, PhD; Nelly Huynh, PhD Faculty of Dentistry, University of Montreal, Quebec, Canada Altered dentofacial morphology is an important risk factor of obstructive sleep apnea by compromising the upper airway volume. Maxillary and/or mandibular retrognathia, narrow maxilla, and long face are the most common craniofacial risk factors of sleep- disordered breathing. The etiology of dentofacial variation and malocclusion is multifactorial, which includes the influence of genetic and environmental factors acting on the units of the craniofacial complex. There is very little evidence on the reverse relationship, where changes in malocclusion could affect gene expression. The advances in human genetics and molecular biology have contributed to the identification of relevant genetic markers associated with certain skeletal malocclusions and/or dental malformations. Since some studies have observed differences between siblings, between parents/children, and between monozygotic twin pairs, this evidence suggests a significant influence of environmental factors in the development of dentofacial structures. However, the skeletal craniofacial complex has been systematically documented to be more influenced by genetic factors than the dental malocclusion. The greater the genetic component, the lower the rate of success on the outcome of orthodontic treatment. The real therapy should be an eventual modification of the gene responsible for the malocclusion; however, this is yet a theoretical proposition. The identification of major genes and determination of their biochemical action to a particular jaw discrepancy is the first approach necessary for the search of a solution.

  • Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction and Orthognathic Surgery: a Retrospective Study Jean-Pascal Dujoncquoy1, Joël Ferri1, Gwénael Raoul1, Johannes Kleinheinz2*
    Dujoncquoy et al. Head & Face Medicine 2010, 6:27 http://www.head-face-med.com/content/6/1/27 HEAD & FACE MEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access Temporomandibular joint dysfunction and orthognathic surgery: a retrospective study Jean-Pascal Dujoncquoy1, Joël Ferri1, Gwénael Raoul1, Johannes Kleinheinz2* Abstract Background: Relations between maxillo-mandibular deformities and TMJ disorders have been the object of different studies in medical literature and there are various opinions concerning the alteration of TMJ dysfunction after orthognathic surgery. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate TMJ disorders changes before and after orthognathic surgery, and to assess the risk of creating new TMJ symptoms on asymptomatic patients. Methods: A questionnaire was sent to 176 patients operated at the Maxillo-Facial Service of the Lille’s2 Universitary Hospital Center (Chairman Pr Joël Ferri) from 01.01.2006 to 01.01.2008. 57 patients (35 females and 22 males), age range from 16 to 65 years old, filled the questionnaire. The prevalence and the results on pain, sounds, clicking, joint locking, limited mouth opening, and tenseness were evaluated comparing different subgroups of patients. Results: TMJ symptoms were significantly reduced after treatment for patients with pre-operative symptoms. The overall subjective treatment outcome was: improvement for 80.0% of patients, no change for 16.4% of patients, and an increase of symptoms for 3.6% of them. Thus, most patients were very satisfied with the results. However the appearance of new onset of TMJ symptoms is common. There was no statistical difference in the prevalence of preoperative TMJ symptoms and on postoperative results in class II compared to class III patients.

  • Relationship Between Skeletal Class II and Class III Malocclusions with Vertical Skeletal Pattern
    original article Relationship between skeletal Class II and Class III malocclusions with vertical skeletal pattern Sonia Patricia Plaza1, Andreina Reimpell1, Jaime Silva1, Diana Montoya1 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1590/2177-6709.24.4.063-072.oar Objective: The purpose of this study was to establish the association between sagittal and vertical skeletal patterns and assess which cephalometric variables contribute to the possibility of developing skeletal Class II or Class III malocclusion. Methods: Cross-sec- tional study. The sample included pre-treatment lateral cephalogram radiographs from 548 subjects (325 female, 223 male) aged 18 to 66 years. Sagittal skeletal pattern was established by three different classification parameters (ANB angle, Wits and App-Bpp) and vertical skeletal pattern by SN-Mandibular plane angle. Cephalometric variables were measured using Dolphin software (Imaging and Management Solutions, Chatsworth, Calif, USA) by a previously calibrated operator. The statistical analysis was carried out with Chi-square test, ANOVA/Kruskal-Wallis test, and an ordinal multinomial regression model. Results: Evidence of associa- tion (p < 0.05) between sagittal and vertical skeletal patterns was found with a greater proportion of hyperdivergent skeletal pattern in Class II malocclusion using three parameters to assess the vertical pattern, and there was more prevalent hypodivergence in Class III malocclusion, considering ANB and App-Bpp measurements. Subjects with hyperdivergent skeletal pattern (odds ratio [OR]=1.85- 3.65), maxillary prognathism (OR=2.67-24.88) and mandibular retrognathism (OR=2.57-22.65) had a significantly (p < 0.05) greater chance of developing skeletal Class II malocclusion. Meanwhile, subjects with maxillary retrognathism (OR=2.76-100.59) and man- dibular prognathism (OR=5.92-21.50) had a significantly (p < 0.05) greater chance of developing skeletal Class III malocclusion.

  • In Response to Dr. Rood's
    Letter to the Editor Dear Dr. McWilliams: May 12, 1977 - In response to Dr. Rood's "Letter to the Editor" appearing in the July, 1977 edition of The Cleft Palate Journal regarding our article "The Morphology of Musculus Uvulae," which appeared in the January, 1977 The Cleft Palate Journal, we would like to emphasize that in attempting to flatten the soft palate for histological sectioning, some curvature remained since the tissue was already embalmed prior to flattening, we stated that serial sections were cut. The section in Figure 3 was taken from the most superior portion of musculus uvulae and shows horizontally cut muscle fibers. The sections shown in Figures 4 and 5 were taken from inferior portions. Therefore, the muscle fi- bers were cut more obliquely and some even in cross section due to the curvature relative to that portion shown in Figure 3. The photomicrographs were selected from over eight hundred serial sections in order to illustrate the points discussed in the paper. We strongly disagree with Dr. Rood regarding the quality of the photomicrographs. We believe that the printing process of The Cleft Palate Journal did reproduce the photomicrographs exactly as submitted. All the photomicrographs were indeed of superior quality. Sincerely, Nabil A.
