2019

Priekšvēsture: Orofaciālā mioloģija ir zinātne par sejas un orofaciālā kompleksa muskuļu normālu un patoloģisku darbību un to saistību ar sakodienu un runu. “Orofaciālā kompleksa miofunkcionālie traucējumi” (OMT) ietekmē mutes dobuma stāvokli un to saistību ar dažādiem fizioloģiskiem un psiholoģiskiem faktoriem. Infantila rīšana, mutes elpošana, pirkstu vai knupja ilgstoša sūkāšana, nagu graušana un zobu griešana ir daži no galvenajiem pētītajiem sliktajiem ieradumiem (Hanson & Mason, 2003). Ir izpētīts, ka tādi ieradumi kā ilgstošas elpceļu saslimšanas, infantila rīšana, mēles parafunkcija ir saistīti ar orofaciālā kompleksa disfunkcijām (Bahreman, 2013).

Malattia celiaca e malocclusione

2010

La celiachia è una malattia autoimmune, causata da una intolleranza permanente al glutine, che si manifesta in individui geneticamente predisposti, causando enteropatia. In questi individui una prolungata esposizione al glutine aumenta il rischio di sviluppare altre patologie, che possono influire nello sviluppo della dentatura e della mucosa orale. Le manifestazioni cliniche sono diverse e atipiche.I pazienti con celiachia possono soffrire di ipoplasia dello smalto, maggiore prevalenza della carie dentale, eruzione ritardata dei denti e riduzione della crescita del mascellare inferiore. Questi fattori predispongono ad una malocclusione.

Effectiveness of interceptive treatment of class III malocclusions with skeletal anchorage: A systematic review and meta-analysis

2017

Recently, new strategies for treating class III malocclusions have appeared. Skeletal anchorage appears to reduce the dentoalveolar effects while maximising the orthopaedic effect in growing patients. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to examine the effectiveness of bone anchorage devices for interceptive treatment of skeletal class III malocclusions. Searches were made in the Pubmed, Embase, Scopus and Cochrane databases, as well as in a grey literature database, and were complemented by hand-searching. The criteria for eligibility were: patients who had undergone orthodontic treatment with skeletal anchorage (miniplates and miniscrews). Patients with syndromes or …

Relationship between perception of malocclusion and the psychological impact of dental aesthetics in university students.

2014

Introduction and Objectives: The objectives were to assess the relationship between perceived smile aesthetics and perceived psychological impact as measured by the Psychosocial Impact of Dental Aesthetics Questionnaire (PIDAQ), and their own perception of it using the Aesthetic Component of the Index of Orthodontic Treatment Need (IOTN-AC) and a Visual Analog Scale (VAS); relate the IOTN-AC and VAS to the PIDAQ; and study the predictive capacity of the scales for psychological impact. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 447 college students in Spain and Portugal (average age 20.4 years, 33.1% men and 66.9% women). The online self-completed surveys used the recent…

Does breastfeeding have a long-term positive effect on dental occlusion?

2019

Background Breastfeeding produces beneficial effects on a baby's early growth and development, and general well-being. Some studies have associated breastfeeding with better occlusal development. The aim of this study was to assess the long-term effect of breastfeeding on occlusal development in children. Material and methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate the occlusions of 320 children belonging to the Spanish INMA Project cohort, monitored from gestation onwards. The association between the duration of breastfeeding and different occlusal traits in mixed dentition (overjet, overbite, openbite, midline displacement, incisor crowding, incisor spacing, diastema, maxim…

A comparative study of aesthetic perceptions of malocclusion among general practice dentists, orthodontists and the public using a visual analogue sc…

2016

Background Perception of malocclusion varies among individuals and among patients and practitioners. Although several indices that tend to coincide in many aspects and unify criteria, no single index has been recognised as the most suitable for assessing orthodontic treatment need. Moreover, orthodontists are not always aware of the differences in perception of malocclusion between patients and practitioners. Objetives To examine the perception of dental anaesthetics amongst dentists, orthodontists and the general population, study the relationship between the perception of dental aesthetics and the severity of the malocclusion, using the visual analogue scale and the IOTN-AC, and investiga…

Effects of the functional orthopaedic therapy on masticatory muscles activity

2017

Background The purpose of this study was to examine surface electromyographic (sEMG) activity of masticatory muscles before and after functional orthopaedic therapy with Sander appliance. Material and Methods Ten adolescents (5 girls, 5 boys) with an Angle Class II, division I malocclusion, 9-13 years old, were submitted to sEMG before and after functional orthopaedic therapy. To verify the neuromuscular equilibrium, the standardized EMG activities of right and left masseter and anterior temporal muscles were recorded during maximum voluntary clench, and analysed calculating: POC (index of the symmetric distribution of the muscular activity determined by the occlusion); TC (index of presenc…
