“…The mean interpremolar, intermolar dental and interpremolar, intermolar alveolar arch width in both maxillary and mandibular arches were found to be highest in hypodivergent patients and least in hyperdivergent patients, which was not found to be statistically significant. This is in conformance with the researches done by Uysal et al (2005), 15 Khera et al (2012), 8 Ribeiro et al (2012), 19 Grippaudo et al (2013), 20 Bhutta et al (2013), 1 Shahroudi and Etezadi (2013), 21 Prasad et al (2013), 22 Bălan et al (2014), 23 Nayer et al (2015), 24 Traldi et al (2015), 25 Gupta and Makhija (2016), 26 Perez et al (2016), 27 Aditi et al (2017), 28 and Nagrajmurthy (2017). 29 However, the data from this study presented an antithetical fashion between SN-MP angle and dental arch widths, the relationship was less strong, which showed that the SN-MP angle might not be only one of the contributing factors.…”

Introduction The facial growth pattern differs from individual to individual, and the variations in it are quite high. The assessment of relationship of dental arch dimensions with the facial growth pattern is essential for proper diagnosis and treatment planning. Aim The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the dental and alveolar arch widths in patients with varying facial growth patterns in Distt. Solan population. Materials and Methods Pretreatment lateral cephalograms and dental study models of 45 patients with age group between 16 and 30 years were included in the study. Patients were divided into three groups: group I (normodivergent), group II (hypodivergent), and group III (hyperdivergent) on the basis of y-axis, Jarabak ratio, and SN-MP (Sella-Nasion–mandibular plane) angle. Interpremolar and intermolar dental and alveolar arch widths were measured and compared for all the three groups. Results The results showed that the dental and alveolar arch widths were increased in hypodivergent patients and decreased in hyperdivergent patients, which was not statistically significant. Conclusion It was concluded that the dental and alveolar arch dimensions increased as the facial pattern became horizontal.

Introduction: The association of mandibular gonial angle, facial height, and jaw relationship in masseteric hypertrophy (MH) has not been adequately described for the typical Indian population. The aim of this study was to report the gonial angle relationship with facial height parameters in cases diagnosed with bilateral MH and its possible influence on the treatment plan. Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective study based on archival records of bilateral MH cases surgically treated over a 10-year period at the author's center. Patients' records fulfilling inclusion and exclusion criteria were considered for the study. Age, gender, upper anterior facial height (UAFH), lower anterior facial height (LAFH), upper posterior facial height (UPFH), ramus height (also a reflection of the lower posterior facial height), and gonial angle were collected along with the type of bite (open/normal/deep), surgical procedure (debulking with/without bone removal), and concomitant jaw bone corrections (yes/no). These were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS, and P ≤ 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: Overall, 21 patients formed the study group comprising 9 females and 12 males. Gender influenced the UAFH, LAFH, UPFH, ramus height, and gonial angle significantly. Males had higher values than females. Normal bite had an obtuse gonial angle than the deep bite, and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 0.036). When the gonial angle was acute or square faced, the need for other surgical procedures was high and the difference was statistically significant ( P = 00.048). Discussion and Conclusion: The results are discussed in the light of Indian skeletal anthropometry. The relationship of the gonial angle with facial height parameters in bilateral MH cases in this part of the world is presented.

Background/Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the masseter muscle volume and maximum bite force in individuals with different types skeletal malocclusion. The researchers conducted a comparative analysis to assess the relationship between skeletal malocclusion groups and masseter muscle volume, as well as maximum bite force. By examining these variables, the study aimed to provide insights into the underlying mechanisms of craniofacial deformities. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted on a sample of 60 young adult patients (18-30) years. These patients were referred to the clinic for Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) imaging. Radiological measurements were taken using CBCT images, and bite force was measured using a force measurement sensor. Results: The results of the study indicated a statistically significant relationship in both muscle volume and bite force among the different skeletal malocclusion groups. However, no correlation was observed between muscle volume and other variables. The statistically significant relationship between vertical groups and muscle volume/bite force suggests that these measures could potentially serve as supplementary diagnostic tools. However, the uneven distribution of vertical directional groups indicates that they may not be entirely reliable as diagnostic tools. Therefore, further investigation using larger sample sizes is necessary to better understand the relationship between skeletal malocclusion, bite force, muscle volume. Conclusions: The absence of correlation between muscle volume and bite force suggests that CBCT may not be reliable method for soft tissue imaging. This implies inadequacy of CBCT in capturing soft tissue details.
