Implementing the Questionnaire for Epidemiological Surveillance, general distribution of anomalies could be presented by the Anomaly index (AI), which dictates the introduction of a standardized questionnaire for epidemiological screening, which would preclude ambiguousness and the differences between the epidemiological research data would be cut to the minimum.
Differences identified in craniofacial parameters in relation to Bolton standards show that one should carefully consider the risk of altering facial esthetics of patients from Vojvodina with extraction treatment. Whenever possible, give priority to early non-extraction treatment, in order to reach the best possible end-result within the given facial type, preserving facial esthetics.
Analysis of the morphological characteristics of the maxilla in mouth breathing children showed characteristics also present in persons with marked clinical features of OSA syndrome, such as a narrow maxilla, insufficient apical base length, as well as the reduced angle of the palatal plane angle to the anterior cranial base. All these suggest a possible increased risk of developing OSA syndrome in children's later age.
Introduction. Tooth extractions, particularly of the permanent teeth, lead to
different and numerous consequences. It is known that the incidence of caries
and the incidence of premature extractions are the highest with the first
permanent molars. The aims of this study were to examine the possibility of
determining the relations between the translatory movement and the agonist
teeth inclination depending on the time of the performed extraction, as well
as on the temporal distance from the moment of extracting the first permanent
molar to the moment of analyzing the changes. Material and Methods. The study
was performed on the sample of 185 subjects, their age ranging from 11 to 26
years (X=14) with early (by the age of 11 years) and late performed
extraction of the first permanent molars in the maxilla and mandible and
determined class I of occlusal relationship. Results. The relation, expressed
by the mathematical expression, between the translatory movement and tooth
inclination has been confirmed, but only in case of late extractions. As for
early extractions, the obtained results of the correlation coefficient value
showed no relations between translatory movement and tooth inclination.
Conclusion. The relation between translatory movement and teeth inclination
(the second premolars and the second permanent molars) expressed by the
mathematical expression has been confirmed by the given values of the
correlation coefficient, but only in case of late performed extractions. The
biggest changes of the analyzed teeth position (the second premolars and the
second permanent molars) occur in the first year after late extractions of
the first permanent molars.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
