Journal ArticleDOI
The relationship between maximal bite force, bite force endurance, and facial morphology during growth: A cross-sectional study
TL;DR: A positive correlation was found between the maximal bite force in the incisor region and the ratio of upper to lower facial height; this is, subjects with a high bite force had a relatively short lower anterior height.
Journal ArticleDOI
Condylar height on panoramic radiographs: A methodologic study with a clinical application
TL;DR: The method may be applied when calculating condylar ratios, provided that the same panoramic machine is used, and showed good validity for the reference points used.
Journal ArticleDOI
Craniofacial structure in children with juvenile chronic arthritis (JCA) compared with healthy children with ideal or postnormal occlusion
TL;DR: The arthritic condylar lesions seem to be the main etiologic reason for the altered facial structure and changes in the occlusion in children with JCA, largely confirming earlier findings that the JCA group has a characteristic craniofacial structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Craniofacial morphology, dental occlusion, tooth eruption, and dental maturity in boys of short stature with or without growth hormone deficiency.
TL;DR: It can be concluded that although most of the cephalometric variables measured differed significantly from the average, the facial appearance of the boys is not conspicuous and is of minor clinical importance, however, the short-statured boys might be in greater need of orthodontic treatment due to the higher percentage of dental crowding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Craniofacial growth in juvenile chronic arthritis.
TL;DR: The craniofacial growth in children with juvenile chronic arthritis and the degree of destruction of the mandibular condyles vary depending on the heterogeneity in duration and intensity of the disease, and the facial morphology of JCA children with condylar lesions becomes more abnormal during growth.
