“…The cephalograms were taken in a natural head position with the teeth in centric occlusion. 15,16 A line passing through tuberculum sellae (intersection of the mandibular contours of the anterior clinoid processes and the anterior wall of the sella) and wing point (intersection of the contour of ala major with the jugum sphenoidale) was used as the horizontal reference line (HRL) and a perpendicular line passing through tuberculum sellae as the vertical reference line (VRL) ( Figure 4). Twenty-seven angular and linear measurements were performed on the cephalograms (Figures 5 and 6) and [ Table 1].…”

“…Additionally, it was found that the inflammation and the arthritis in FMF may affect the bone turnover of the condyle. 26 Studies showed that continuous inflammation decreases the bone mineral density causing altered body composition and growth impairment. 27 The inflammatory process in FMF may cause retarded mandibular or maxillary growth, respectively 26 and decreased mandibular bone density.…”

Introduction Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an episodic inflammatory disease that is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. It is primarily featured by fever, pain in joints, chest, and abdomen due to Serositis. Aim This study delineated the oro‐facial structures presented associated with FMF, as well as, the determination of the potential influences of the long‐term inflammatory process of FMF on several oral structures. Methods Fifty eight Egyptian FMF patients were examined to define different oro‐facial structures. Serum amyloid A (SAA) was requested for the selected patients, MEFV gene mutation was also investigated. Results The clinical examination revealed peritonitis in 79%, fever in 63.7%, and arthritis in 55% of FMF patients examined, while, oral features as high arched palate, enamel defect, dental malocclusion, and macroglossia in 32%, 27.5%. 26%, and 13.5%, respectively. The previous symptoms might be attributed to the pathology of the disease. Macroglossia when tested versus SAA levels, a highly significant difference was detected. The ROC curve when examining the SAA value to assess macroglossia, displayed reasonable sensitivity and specificity values of, 87.5% and 77.8%, respectively. Conclusion The noticed oro‐dental in FMF patients might be influenced by the chronic inflammatory process.

Objective:The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of Greulich and Pyle (GP) method for Southern Turkish population.Materials and Methods:Hand and wrist radiographs of 535 patients (276 females, 259 males aged from 10 to 18 years) selected retrospectively from the archive. Skeletal age (SA) estimation was performed according to GP atlas. The chronological age (CA) and SA were compared using the Paired t-test.Results:The mean difference between the CA and SA ranged from 0.07 to 1.11 years. These differences between the CA and estimated SA were statistically significant in group I (10–10.90 years) (P < 0.001), group II (11–11.90 years) (P < 0.050), group III (12–12.90 years) (P < 0.001), group IV (13–13.90 years) (P < 0.010), and group V (14–14.90 years) (P < 0.001) for females. The mean difference between the CA and SA ranged from −0.41 to −1.79 years for females. These differences between the CA and estimated SA were statistically significant in all age groups.Conclusions:Statistically significant differences were found in the CA and SA assessed by GP method for the Southern Turkish sample. SA was significantly over-predicted in the 10–15 year ages in males and for 10–18 year ages for females. It is appropriate to use GP method in Southern Turkish children; however, a revision is needed for better results and to minimize the mistakes.

Abstract: The hypothesis is rejected. Significant differences exist between the craniofacial morphology of patients with FMF and the healthy population.
