Introduction: Disharmony between tooth position, jaw relation and facial soft tissue has a significant effect on facial appearance. Anatomical facial appearance is determined by the lower third of the face, especially the position of the lips and related parts which are affected by the inclination of the anterior teeth. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there was a correlation between the angle of inclination of the maxillary incisors and the convexity of facial soft tissue in Balinese women using the Holdaway method. Materials and Method: This type of research was analytic observational with a cross sectional approach. This study used a sample of 31 lateral cephalometric photographs of Balinese females for tracing. Samples were taken by means of purposive sampling, based on specified criteria. Results and discussion: Pearson correlation analysis showed that the relationship between the angle of inclination of the upper incisors was significant. Conclusion: Based on this study, it can be concluded that there was a correlation between maxillary incisor inclination angle on the facial soft tissue convexity in Balinese females using the Holdaway method.
Introduction: Facial appearances especially teeth and face are some of the most important things in this era. The symmetry of the dental median line with the facial median line needs to be considered to create a balanced, harmonious, and attractive facial structure, especially when smiling. The position of the maxillary median line to the facial median line is an important factor in orthodontic diagnosis. This research aims to obtain the symmetry of the dental median line with the facial median line during centric occlusion in dentistry students of the Mahasaraswati University of Denpasar. Materials and Methods: The type of this research is descriptive with a cross-sectional approach that involved 57 participants. Results and Discussions: The results of this research are the percentage of the students whose dental median line with a facial median line is symmetrical (≤ 1 mm) was 77% that obtained 44 participants, while the percentage of students who had a dental median line with a facial median line is not symmetrical (> 1 mm) were 23 % that obtained 13 participants with a shift of median line 2 mm in 7 participants, 3 mm in 5 participants, and 5 mm in 1 participant. Conclusion: Based on the results it can be concluded that the dentistry students of the Mahasaraswati University of Denpasar whose dental median line with their facial median line were symmetrical is more dominant.
Gigitan dalam atau deep bite merupakan salah satu maloklusi yang sering terjadi disebabkan oleh berbagai macam faktor. Etiologi dari gigitan dalam mungkin dapat terjadi dari berbagai tingkatan struktur seperti gigi-geligi, rahang, kebiasaan buruk dan lain sebagainya. Tujuan penulisan ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana kasus gigitan dalam dengan metode analisis Thompson & Brodie. Simpulan bahwa terdapat tiga kemungkinan yaitu jika overbite masih berlebihan sedang stenz bagian posterior hampir habis tergigit maka gigitan dalam tersebut karena supra oklusi gigi depan (belakang normal). Jika overbite normal dan stenz bagian posterior tebal maka gigitan dalam tersebut karena infra oklusi gigi posterior (anterior normal). Jika overbite masih berlebihan sedang stenz bagian posterior tebal maka gigitan dalam tersebut karena kombinasi supra oklusi gigi anterior dan infra oklusi gigi posterior
