Study Regarding the Applications of Imaging Technology in Cranial Base Morphology in Angle Class II Division 1 and 2 Malocclusions

Abstract

angle, gonial angle, FMA angle, NsaNsp -GoGn. Statistical significant differences between cranial base parameters in the two malocclusions groups were depicted, in particular for feminine gender. Regardless of gender, the sphenoidal angle values were mainly increased in both malocclusion groups, when compared to normal population values. The S-Ba lengths were decreased in both malocclusion groups, regardless of gender. More significant alterations of cranial base morphology were depicted in patients with Class II Division 2 malocclusions then in patients with Class II Division 1 malocclusion. The study's results sustain the existence of some cranial base alterations in Class II malocclusions.

Utilization of Digital Orthopantomography to Assess Mandibular Asymmetries

“…Unlike other studies from the literature, this study is based on the visualization of positional asymmetry of condyles through CHD measurement and skeletal asymmetry through measurements of the ramus (LRH and RRH), offering a differential diagnosis and help regarding adequate treatment [21,24,29,30]. Other studies had investigate the characteristics and the cranial base morphology, in class II division 1 and class II division 2 malocclusions by lateral cephalograms to find a correlation between facial asymmetry and cranial base morphology [31,32], but our technique is less invasive.…”

CBCT Evaluation of the Severity of Maxillary Impacted Canines Using the KPG Index

“…class II and class III Angle anomalies). Also, the lateral cephalometric analysis helps us to examine the growth degree and direction of the maxillar y upper and lower jaws [4]. Till recently, conventional 2-D radiographs were considered as the principal method to diagnose a maxillary impacted canine and for the careful elaboration of a treatment plan.…”
