Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in craniofacial morphology,
head posture and hyoid bone position between mouth breathing (MB) and nasal breathing
(NB) patients.
Methods: Mouth breathing patients comprised 34 skeletal Class I subjects with a mean age of
12.8 ± 1.5 years (range: 12.0–15.2 years). Thirty-two subjects with skeletal Class I relationship were
included in the NB group (mean 13.5 ±1.3 years; range: 12.2–14.8 years). Twenty-seven measurements
(15 angular and 12 linear) were used for the craniofacial analysis. Additionally, 12 measurements
were evalu ...Daha fazlası
Introduction: The aim of this prospective clinical trial was to assess the effects of varying force directions on the
dynamic measurement of natural head position and orofacial airway dimensions of Class III patients during maxillary
orthopedic protraction compared with an untreated control group. Methods: The conventional facemask
group comprised 15 patients (8 girls, 7 boys; mean age, 9.6 6 1.3 years), the modified facemask group comprised
15 patients (7 girls, 8 boys; mean age, 9.5 6 1.5 years), and the control group comprised 15 subjects
(7 girls, 8 boys; mean age, 9.8 6 1.6 years). N ...Daha fazlası
