Data and patterns of transverse dentofacial structure of 6-to 15-year-old children: A posteroanterior cephalometric study

Transverse craniofacial dimensions in Angle Class II, Division 1 malocclusion according to breathing mode

“…[15][16][17][18] The research described in this article pointed out that growth of transverse craniofacial dimensions continues even after puberty; this was also observed by Athanasiou et al 16 (1992) and by Lux et al 18 (2004). An increase in these measurements in the sample studied was detected in a time period of two and a half years, starting at the age of 10 years and 9 months up to age 14.…”

Dental Arch Widths and Mandibular-Maxillary Base Width in Class III Malocclusions with Low, Average and High MP-SN Angles

“…[6][7][8][9][10] Evaluation of the transverse structure of the mandibular-maxillary base is needed for a comprehensive dentofacial analysis. [11][12][13] The inclination of the mandibular plane is a major determinant of the vertical dimension of a face (long, average, or short). A person with a larger MP-SN angle usually has a long face type, and a person with a smaller MP-SN angle usually has a short face type.…”

Facial scoliosis due to sternocleidomastoid torticollis: a cephalometric analysis

“…Because of the different magnification factors associated with the three hospital cephalostats used in this study, together with the wide age range and therefore size of the subjects, as has been recommended previously 2,11 , the use of angular measurements and the calculation of ratios between left and right paired landmarks in both the x and y-axes were made in preference to direct linear measurements.…”
