Dental and Alveolar Arch Widths in Normal Occlusion, Class II division 1 and Class II division 2

TANCAN UYSAL

The aim of this study was to compare the transverse dimensions of the dental arches and alveolar arches in the canine, premolar, and molar regions of Class II division 1 and Class II division 2 malocclusion groups with normal occlusion subjects. This study was performed using measurements on dental casts of 150 normal occlusion (mean age: 21.6 6 2.6 years), 106 Class II division 1 (mean age: 17.2 6 2.4 years), and 108 Class II division 2 (mean age: 18.5 6 2.9 years) malocclusion subjects. Independent-samples t-test was applied for comparisons of the groups. These findings indicate that t ...Daha fazlası

Rapid maxillary expansion effects on dynamic measurement of natural head position

TANCAN UYSAL

Objective: To identify the effect of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) procedure on dynamic measurement of natural head position (NHP). Materials and Methods: The treatment group comprised 23 patients, 12 girls and 11 boys (mean age: 10.1 6 1.1 years), and the control group comprised 15 subjects, 8 girls and 7 boys (mean age: 9.7 6 1.4 years). The test subjects underwent RME treatment using full cap acrylic device, and the mean amount of expansion was 5.48 mm. An inclinometer and a portable data logger were used to collect the NHP data. Intragroup changes were evaluated by using nonparamet ...Daha fazlası
