Glenoid Fossa Response to Myofunctional Treatment in Skeletally Retruded Cases

Abstract: Objectives: This study was undertaken to evaluate glenoid fossa changes in response to twin block appliance therapy and to correlate the changes in glenoid fossa with changes in craniofacial morphology. Materials and methods:The present study was conducted on pre and post-treatment cephalograms of 30 (15 males and 15 females) myofunctionally treated, Angle's Class II div. 1 patients with the mean age of 12.8 years for males and 10.15 years for females. Mean treatment duration was 10 + 1.46 months for males and… Show more

“…Moreover, the success of dentofacial orthopedics in class II malocclusion can be determined by change in position of glenoid fossa. Dentofacial orthopedics results in the change of structural features of the posterior wall of the fossa, leading to mechanical stimulation of condylar growth and followed by mandibular advancement [15,16,17,18]. Changes produced by these treatments, helps in the rectification of Class II malocclusion with mandibular deficiency [19,20].…”
