  • Cephalometric and Malocclusion Analysis of Kadazan Dusun Ethnic Orthodontic Patients (Analisis Sefalometrik Dan Maloklusi Pesakit Ortodontik Etnik Kadazan Dusun)
    Sains Malaysiana 42(1)(2013): 25–32 Cephalometric and Malocclusion Analysis of Kadazan Dusun Ethnic Orthodontic Patients (Analisis Sefalometrik dan Maloklusi Pesakit Ortodontik Etnik Kadazan Dusun) ROHAYA MEGAT ABDUL WAHAB* HARTINI IDRIS, HABIBAH YACOB & SHAHRUL HISHAM ZAINAL ARIFFIN ABSTRACT The aims of this study were to assess the skeletal pattern and the malocclusion of Kadazan Dusun ethnic patients who seek for orthodontic treatment. Cephalometric radiographs (248) and 345 study models were collected from four orthodontic clinics in Sabah. The cephalometric mean values (SNA, SNB, ANB, MMA, SNMxP, UIMxP, LIMnP and ALFH) were measured and the study models were analysed for overjet, overbite, incisor and molar relationships. Some morphological or occlusal features such as shovel shape, Talon cusp, peg shape teeth, midline diastema, canine displacement and supernumerary tooth were also noted. The frequency and correlation of cephalometric mean values and prevalence of malocclusion were analysed using SPSS 18. Class I Skeletal pattern was the most common (48%) followed by Class II (33%) and Class III (18%). There was a strong correlation between SNA and SNB values (>0.70). Class II/1 incisor relationship has the highest frequency (41%) followed by Class III (32%), Class I (21%) and Class II/2 (6%). Class II Molar relationship of both right and left showed highest frequency (38%) followed by Class I (33%) and Class III (30%). Increased of overjet (44%) and reduced overbite (41%) and shovel-shaped incisor were the most common occlusal and dental features. The Kadazan Dusun patients who seek for orthodontic treatment in Sabah were mostly presented with Class I Skeletal pattern with high prevalence in Class II/1 incisor relationship, Class II molar relationship, increased overjet and reduced overbite.

  • Cephalometric Analysis for Orthognathic Surgery
    Review article Annals and Essences of Dentistry 10.5368/aedj.2015.7.3.3.1 CEPHALOMETRIC ANALYSIS FOR ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY 1 Sowmya B Rao 1 Post graduate 2 Gowri sankar Singaraju 2 Professor 3 Prasad Mandava 3 Professor and Head 4 Vivek Reddy Ganugapanta 4 Reader 1-4 Department of Orthodontics, Narayana Dental College, Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, India. ABSTRACT: The key for successful orthognathic surgery is the precise and careful diagnosis of facial, skeletal and dental problems. The cephalometric analysis for orthognathic surgery shows the orthodontist the horizontal and vertical positions of the facial bones by the use of a steady harmonized system. The sizes of the bones are represented by direct linear measurements whereas the shapes are measured by angular measurements. This analysis has been imperative for diagnosis and treatment planning of orthognathic surgery. The landmarks and measurements selected in the analysis can be altered by numerous surgical procedures. The rectilinear measurements can be transferred readily to a case study for mock surgery to learn further. And finally the comprehensive appraisal encompasses all of the facial bones and a cranial base for reference. To make it clinically practical, the analysis has been reduced to its most relevant and significant measurements. Because the measurements in cephalometric analyses are primarily linear, they may be eagerly applied to prediction overlays and serve as a basis for the assessment of other post treatment stability options.

(Orthodontics) **SAAD ASAD, FCPS-II (Trainee) ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to find out the prevalence of skeletal components of malocclusion using composite cephalometric analysis. Cephalograms of a total of 100 patients were assessed. Patients who were selected had the following characteristics. Adult patients, all teeth present except 3'd molars, no supernumerary or retained tooth and no transverse skeletal discrepancy. The mean age of the sample was 18.28 years. 61% females and 39% were male patients. The results were as follows; Skeletal Class II was the most common antero-posterior malocclusion (47%). Among vertical malocclusions the most common was the skeletal open bite (38%) Bimaxillary proclination was the most common dental cephalometric finding (48%) Patients with orthognathic profile & competent lips were most common (34%) Components of various skeletal malocclusions were also assessed. Vertical growth pattern, dental inclinations, lip competency and profile of the patients were assessed in relation with sagital relationship. Identification of prevalence of malocclusion using cephalometrics seems to be an important method as it includes skeletal component of malocclusion.

The review focuses on the systemic and local effects of Mouth Breathing that includes the effects on psychological development including classification based on systemic influences. Though the dentofacial effects are discussed commonly the article aims to summate the systemic effects such as ADHD and sleep apnea that have an effect on the overall development for children. Management strategies such as nasal patches shows the importance of a parallel ENT therapy to be incorporated for better success.
