Article Abstract

Setting the condylar inclination of a dental articulator enables the delivery of prostheses without occlusal interferences. This technique article describes obtaining the sagittal condylar inclination (SCI) by using a facial and an intraoral scan of the protrusive interocclusal position. The SCI can be used on a virtual articulator in dental computer-aided design (CAD) software programs, which can facilitate the fabrication of functional prostheses without occlusal interferences.

Purpose: This study investigated how different data collection methods affect final restoration design and dynamic occlusal morphology.

Materials And Methods: Digital systems allow intraoral recording of functional occlusal paths through the digitally recorded functionally generated pathway (DRFGP) technique, using intraoral scanners and optical jaw tracking. Two substudies were conducted.

Limited long-term 3-dimensional (3D) studies exist evaluating risk factors for condylar resorption following orthognathic surgery. Our aim was to evaluate patient demographics, clinical and radiographic characteristics, and orthognathic surgical effects on long-term postoperative condylar volume and height, and horizontal skeletal stability, using a 3D approach. Analysis of clinical data and cone-beam computed tomography before, and approximately two weeks and five years after surgery was carried out on 50 subjects (17 male, 33 female), mean (range) age 25.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical effect of a new fixed Twin-block on adolescent patients with skeletal ClassⅡ malocclusion.

Methods: Twenty-one patients aged 10-13 years with skeletal ClassⅡ malocclusion with mandibular retrusion were chosen for functional treatment using a new fixed Twin-block. Before and after treatment, panoramic and cephalometric films were taken, and the observation indexes were measured and recorded.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the osseous positional and dimensional changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) of patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion treated with the Forsus Fatigue Resistant Device (FFRD).

Materials And Methods: This non-randomized clinical trial included 40 female subjects, aged 11 to 15, with skeletal Class II malocclusion. Participants were divided into a treatment and a control group.

Lateral patellar dislocation (LPD) is a common pathology of the adolescent knee and a major predisposing factor for patellofemoral instability (PFI). The pathogenesis of PFI involves a combination of anatomical and biomechanical contributors, with increasing evidence pointing to sex-specific differences in knee morphology. Despite this, the developmental course of these parameters and their variation between sexes remain insufficiently characterized.
