Cone-beam computed tomography assessment of mandibular asymmetry in unilateral cleft lip and palate patients

İLKNUR VELİ

Objective: To determine whether there is any difference between the cleft and non-cleft sides of the mandible in unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) patients, or the right and left sides in control patients; and to determine if there is any difference between the mandibular asymmetry of UCLP patients and that of control patients. Methods: We examined cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans of 15 patients with UCLP and 15 age- and gender-matched control patients. We evaluated 8 linear, 3 surface, and 3 volumetric measurements and compared the cleft/non-cleft sides of UCLP patients an ...Daha fazlası

Changes in mandibular transversal arch dimensions after rapid maxillary expansion procedure assessed through cone-beam computed

ASLI BAYSAL | İLKNUR VELİ

Objective: This study aimed at evaluating the changes in mandibular arch widths and buccolingual inclinations of mandibular posterior teeth after rapid maxillary expansion (RME). Methods: Baseline and post expansion cone-beam computed tomographic (CBCT) images of patients who initially had bilateral posterior cross-bite and underwent RME with a banded type expander were assessed in this study. The patients included 9 boys (mean age: 13.97 1.17 years) and 11 girls (mean age: 13.53 2.12 years). Images obtained 6 months after retention were available for 10 of these patients. Eighteen angular and ...Daha fazlası

Evaluation of alveolar bone loss following rapid maxillary expansion using cone-beam computed tomography

ASLI BAYSAL | İLKNUR VELİ | MEHMET İRFAN KARADEDE

Objective: To evaluate the changes in cortical bone thickness, alveolar bone height, and the incidence of dehiscence and fenestration in the surrounding alveolar bone of posterior teeth after rapid maxillary expansion (RME) treatment using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: The CBCT records of 20 subjects (9 boys, mean age: 13.97 ± 1.17 years; 11 girls, mean age: 13.53 ± 2.12 year) that underwent RME were selected from the archives. CBCT scans had been taken before (T1) and after (T2) the RME. Moreover, 10 of the subjects had 6-month retention (T3) records. We used th ...Daha fazlası
