Objective
The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the craniofacial cephalometric morphologies among different cleft types in a Spanish population.Methods
A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out on 212 patients. The patients were subdivided into four groups according to their cleft types: unilateral cleft lip and palate; bilateral cleft lip and palate; cleft lip; and cleft palate. Angular and linear cephalometric measurements were taken on lateral radiographs.Results
Unilateral cleft lip and palate was associated with a dolichofacial growth pattern, skeletal Class III with correct maxillary position, and lingual incisor inclination. Bilateral cleft lip and palate was associated with a mesofacial growth pattern, skeletal Class I with protruded maxillary position, and lingual incisor inclination. Cleft palate was associated with a mesofacial growth pattern, skeletal Class III with correct maxillary position, and lingual incisor inclination. Cleft lip was associated with a brachyfacial growth pattern, skeletal Class I with protruded maxillary position, lingual upper incisor inclination, and corrects lower incisor inclination. Significant correlations were observed between cleft types and their craniofacial cephalometric measurements.Conclusions
The present information can be used for the determination of orthodontic treatment and even future orthognathic surgery planning, a requirement in most cleft patients.2.
Aim
The aim of this study was to investigate possible correlation of specific skeletal or dental class in children and adolescents with clinical signs of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) with the severity of internal derangement (ID) of the temporomandibular joint.Materials and methods
Based on MRI images, the ID of 232 juvenile temporomandibular joints in 116 patients were retrospectively recorded. The distribution of the ID stages within the skeletal and dental classes was compared by means of the χ 2 test.Results
Excluding the comparison between skeletal Class I (S I) and skeletal Class II (S II; p < 0.05), no statistically significant differences in the distribution of the ID stages were found between the skeletal classes (p > 0.05). No statistically significant differences were found when comparing the distribution of the ID stages between the dental classes (p > 0.05).Conclusion
According to these findings, there is no skeletal or dental class that is related to higher degrees of internal derangement in the TMJs of children and adolescents presenting clinical signs of TMD. Therefore, it is not possible to draw conclusions about the severity of the ID in relation to the dental and skeletal class in symptomatic juvenile TMJs.3.

Objective
The study aims to evaluate the pharyngeal airway space (PAS) following bimaxillary surgery in skeletal class III patients and to compare the changes in PAS between genders using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).Materials and methods
In all, 38 patients (16 male and 22 female) with skeletal class III malocclusion underwent bimaxillary surgery. CBCT scans were acquired approximately 1 month before surgery, 3 months after surgery, and 6 months after surgery. The oropharyngeal volume and the minimum cross-sectional area (CSA) were characterized using the InVivoDental imaging software package at each time point.Results
The volume and minimum CSA decreased significantly postoperatively, which was maintained until 6 months postoperatively (p < 0.01). The location of the minimum CSA tended to move into the retropalatal and retroglossal areas postoperatively. A strong correlation between volume and minimum CSA was found. The amount of mandibular setback was not correlated with the change in the airway. By gender, significant decreases in both the volume and minimum CSA were found in females (p < 0.05) but not in males.Conclusion
Bimaxillary surgery significantly affects PAS. Gender differences should also be considered when considering changes in PAS.Clinical relevance
An awareness of the effects of bimaxillary setback surgery on the airway should be considered when implementing an orthognathic treatment plan.4.

Objectives
This study aimed to (1) analyze the relationships between mandibular symphysis characteristics (height, prominence, inclination, concavity, and convexity) and facial pattern, skeletal class, lower incisor position, and sex, and (2) determine the associations between the symphysis soft tissue dimensions and the underlying osseous structures.Methods
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images were selected for 385 patients (206 women and 179 men). The patients were classified according to their skeletal class and vertical pattern. The lower incisor inclination (IMPA) was recorded. Twelve measurements were taken for each mandibular symphysis using Invivo5 software (Anatomage, San Jose, CA, USA).Results
Symphyseal measurements were larger in males than in females. Skeletal Class II and III hyperdivergent patients showed the highest symphysis height values. Hypodivergent individuals showed lower symphysis convexity angles. Concavity of the symphysis was greater for Class II hyperdivergent patients. Lower incisor inclination showed a positive correlation with symphysis concavity and inclination. Moderate and weak correlations were found between hard tissue and soft tissue parameters.Conclusions
Only a few characteristics of symphysis morphology depend on sex, incisor position, skeletal class, and vertical pattern. More significant relationships are found when the vertical pattern and skeletal class are analyzed in combination. The shape of the symphysis soft tissue is not directly correlated with the underlying skeletal structures.5.

Introduction
The objective of this study was to establish the anatomical relation between nasal septum deviation (NSD) and oropharynx volume in different facial patterns using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).Methods
Ninety CBCT examinations were analyzed. InVivoDental software was used to evaluate cephalometric image reconstructions in terms of facial type, determined from cephalometric measurements indicative of growth direction; the presence of NSD was also evaluated. ITK-SNAP software was employed for delimitation of the oropharynx. Intra-examiner error methods were recorded. The results were subjected to parametric and non-parametric tests using Bioestat 5.0.Results
A comparison of facial types revealed a significantly lower prevalence of NSD in the dolichofacial group compared with the brachyfacial and mesofacial groups (P = 0.0101 and 0.0149, respectively). In the total sample, there was a very strong positive relation between the presence of NSD and oropharynx space volume (P = 0.0162). The oropharynx volume was larger in all facial patterns in the presence of NSD.Conclusion
The presence of NSD was not associated with facial type, although the oropharynx volume in patients with NSD increased. Therefore, deviation of the septum influences oropharynx volume.6.

Objectives
To assess intra- and inter-observer agreement in the morphological evaluation of mandibular cortical bone on panoramic radiographs, to examine factors affecting the diagnosis, and to determine causes of diagnostic discrepancy.Methods
Three experienced observers evaluated mandibular cortical shape on panoramic radiographs of 228 females, and divided the images into three classes. The intra- and inter-observer agreements were calculated. The effect of mandibular cortical width on shape classification was examined. Causes of diagnostic discrepancy were investigated.Results
Overall intra- and inter-observer kappa values in diagnosing mandibular cortical shape were 0.58–0.76 and 0.62–0.69, respectively. The kappa values in diagnosing Class 2 were low. In radiographs diagnosed as Class 2 and Class 3, the ranges of mandibular cortical width overlapped. Discrepancies in diagnosis were caused by slight resorption at the endosteal margin of the cortical bone, endosteal cortical residues near the thinned smooth cortex, and superimposition of the hyoid bone over the mandible.Conclusions
Inter-observer agreement in evaluating mandibular cortical shape was moderate to substantial. Diagnostic discrepancies were mainly caused by differences in evaluation of the endosteum near the cortical bone.7.
Background
Electromyographic analysis of the masticatory muscles provides useful data on the behavior of these muscles during stomatognathic system functioning and allows a functional assessment of orthodontic treatments. This study was undertaken to verify if achieving an Angle Class I bite through orthodontic treatment can lead to neuromuscular balance.Methods
This study enrolled 30 patients (20 females, 10 males, mean age: 15.78 years) with an Angle Class II, division 1 malocclusion that was orthodontically treated. A group of 30 subjects (19 females, 11 males; mean age: 16.15 years), randomly selected among subjects with an Angle Class II, division 1 malocclusion that had not been orthodontically treated served as the Control group. Both groups were subjected to electromyography to study their neuromuscular characteristics. The Shapiro-Wilk's test revealed a non normal distribution, therefore we used a Friedman two way ANOVA by ranks test to compare differences of surface electromyography values between treated and untreated subjects at closed and open eyes condition.Results
A statistically significant interaction between orthodontic treatment and open eyes conditions was detected for anterior temporal muscles. A significant imbalance of the anterior temporal muscles, which is indicative of an asymmetric electromyographic pattern, was also found.Conclusions
The present data indicate that achieving a correct occlusal target does not necessarily correspond to a neuromuscular balance.8.

Background
Reconstruction of moderate-sized mucosal defects of the oral cavity or oropharynx represents a surgical challenge. Buccinator myomucosal flaps seem to provide “ideal reconstruction” of oral/oropharyngeal defects because they carry a thin, mobile, well-vascularized, and sensitive tissue, like that excised or lost. Nevertheless, these flaps are not immediately popular because of confusion surrounding the complex terminology used to name them.Methods
After a retrospective study on our experience and a literature review, the authors propose a new rational and simplified nomenclature for the classification of buccinator myomucosal flaps, which clarifies the source vessel, the composition of the flap, and the type of transfer.Results
According to this nomenclature, six types of buccinator myomucosal flaps are described.Conclusions
This proposed nomenclature may bring a consensus on the classification of buccinator myomucosal flaps and can help their spread.9.

Purpose
The goal of orbital reconstruction is to restore anatomy, volume, and function. In extensive orbital floor defects, the visualization of the posterior area is limited through inferior eyelid incisions. The use of endoscope may improve the treatment; however, it is a high-sensitivity technique. The aim of this case series is to describe the combination of inferior eyelid incision with transantral endoscopy for treatment of extensive orbital floor defects.Methods
Three patients were submitted to orbital reconstruction, and the postoperative CT scans were evaluated to analyze the orbital volume and anteroposterior globe position. Surgical treatment was performed using subciliary inferior palpebral approach to explore the orbital floor and placement of the titanium mesh and an intraoral antrostomy for endoscopy to magnification of the surgical field and adaptation of the mesh.Results
Postoperative CT scan analysis shows that all treatments restored orbital volume and globe position without compression or damage of the optical nerve.Conclusion
The use of endoscope allowed the precise visualization of the posterior region of the orbit and adaptation of the titanium mesh.10.

Introduction
Access osteotomies provide direct exposure to inaccessible areas of the deep part of craniofacial skeleton for treating pathologies involving vital structures. The use of maxillary swing approach for gaining wide access to the nasopharynx, infratemporal fossa, parapharyngeal space, middle fossa of skull base. Though the maxillary swing requires transfacial incision for wide exposure but with careful handling the scar is minimum and this approach can be used in young people.Materials and Methods
Surgical resection is carried out following preoperative embolization of the involved feeder vessels. Total 16 cases were considered for this study.Results
This article highlights cases successfully treated in our institution, the mention of complications associated with the cases along with management.Conclusion
Maxillary swing is a good approach for getting access to the deep pathologies like JNA.11.

Objectives
The aim of this article is to present an overview of omega-3 fatty acids, their anti-inflammatory properties and potential use as an adjunct for periodontal therapy.Materials and methods
A general literature search was conducted to provide an overview of omega-3 fatty acids, their metabolism and anti-inflammatory properties. A more specific literature search of PubMed and EMBASE was conducted to identify articles dealing studies investigating the effects of omega-3 fatty acids in the treatment of periodontitis in animals and humans and included cross-sectional, longitudinal and intervention designs.Results
To date, there is good emerging evidence that dietary supplementation with fish oil may be of some benefit and this is enhanced if combined with aspirin. All clinical intervention studies to date have been on small sample sizes, and this indicates there is need for larger and more robust clinical trials to verify these initial findings.Conclusions
Dietary supplementation with fish oil could be a cost-effective adjunctive therapy to the management of periodontal disease.Clinical relevance
The host modulatory properties of omega-3 fatty acids warrant further assessment of their use as an adjunct in the management of periodontitis.12.

Aim
The aim of the study is to evaluate the prognostic value of β2-m as a biochemical parameter for the diagnosis and prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).Materials and Methods
The study included 60 patients (15 oral SCC, 15 leukoplakia, 15 individuals exposed to various carcinogens and without oral cancerous or precancerous lesions, 15 healthy individuals). The levels of β2-m were estimated using chemi-luminescent immunometric assay on Immulite fully automated machine. Statistical analysis of the data was done using Tuckey’s test, ANOVA and independent sample t test.Results
Results showed that β2-m was increased in individuals exposed to carcinogens without precancerous and cancerous lesion.Conclusion
Serum β2-m can be used as a better indicator and can give an early indication of malignant change and therefore malignancy can be detected at an early and treatable stage.13.

Objective
With respect to the unknown aetiology of molar incisor hypomineralisation (MIH), it is unclear whether this phenomenon was overlooked in the last century as a result of a high number of caries in children or if this developmental disorder was not present until then. Therefore, this study determined the presence of MIH in historical dentitions and teeth.Materials and methods
Dental remains from late medieval (n = 191, twelfth–sixteenth century, Regensburg, Germany), post-medieval (n = 33, sixteenth–eighteenth century, Passau, Germany) and modern age archaeological skeletal series (n = 99, nineteenth–twentieth century, Altdorf, Germany) were examined for MIH. In addition, linear enamel hypoplasia (LEH), diffuse opacities, hypoplasia and Turner’s teeth were documented.Results
MIH-related demarcated opacities or enamel breakdowns were found in only 15 (0.4 %) of the 3891 examined permanent teeth. Ten cases (3.1 %) from a total of 323 dentitions were classified as having MIH. In contrast, 98 individuals (30.3 %) showed LEH. Other enamel disorders were recorded in 64 individuals (19.8 %).Conclusion
With respect to the low number of affected dentitions and teeth, MIH most likely did not exist or was at least rarely present in the investigated archaeological case series.Clinical relevance
This study supports the hypothesis that MIH may be linked to contemporary living conditions or other health-related factors.14.

Objective
We analyzed patients with advanced parotid malignancy requiring proximal facial nerve exposure undergoing mastoidectomy versus lateral temporal bone resection to determine differences in local and distant recurrence.Study design
The study design is a case series with chart review.Setting
The setting is in Tertiary care practice in Fort Worth, Texas from January1998 to January 2014.Subjects and methods
The study included 120 patients with advanced parotid malignancy, 82 males between 19 and 87 years, and 38 females between 26 and 83 years. Patients with no overt bone involvement were treated with parotidectomy and mastoidectomy for exposure of the proximal facial nerve, and patients with clinically suspected (radiographic imaging or clinical fixation) bone involvement were treated with parotidectomy and lateral temporal bone resection. Follow up ranged from a minimum of 18 months to 11 years following surgery.Results
Sixty patients were treated with mastoidectomy and 60 were treated with lateral temporal bone resection. In patients treated with mastoidectomy, 13 had local recurrence and 7 had distal recurrence. In patients treated with lateral temporal bone resection, 2 had local recurrence while 9 had distant recurrence. Statistical analysis revealed that patients treated with mastoidectomy developed local recurrence (p = 0.0022) more commonly than those treated with lateral temporal bone resection. There was no significant difference in distant recurrence between both groups (p = 0.5949).Conclusions
Patients with advanced parotid malignancy should be treated aggressively with parotidectomy and lateral temporal bone resection regardless of bone involvement due to increased risk of local recurrence in those treated with mastoidectomy alone.Level of evidence
Level of evidence is a 4 case series.16.

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to carry out morphologic and topographic analyses of retromolar canals on cone beam computerized tomography (CBCT) scans, comparing findings to others obtained from the corresponding digital panoramic radiographs.Methods
Sixty-one CBCT scans were analysed digitally, as well as their corresponding digital panoramic radiographs. The prevalence and distribution of these canals, foramen diameters, and intraosseous communications were also evaluated.Results
On CBCT scans, we found that 24.6% of individuals had at least one retromolar canal. The mean foramen diameter was slightly higher than 1 mm and we could not determine the intraosseous anatomical connections in most cases. The morphology and topography of the retromolar canals were not affected by gender and antimere. In addition, only 22.2% of all tomographically identified canals could be confirmed on digital panoramic radiographs (26.7% of such patients). Regarding all sample, 6.6% of individuals showed retromolar canals on digital panoramic radiographs.Conclusion
We may consider that these structures are clinically relevant findings and, due to the low accuracy of the panoramic radiographs, high-quality tomographic exams should always be asked for presurgical treatment planning.17.

Background
The objective of this study was to compare the socioeconomic and family characteristics of underprivileged schoolchildren with and without curative dental needs participating in a dental health program.Methods
A random sample of 1411 of 8-to-10 year-old Brazilian schoolchildren was examined and two sample groups were included in the cross-sectional study: 544 presented curative dental needs and the other 867 schoolchildren were without curative dental needs. The schoolchildren were examined for the presence of caries lesions using the DMFT index and their parents were asked to answer questions about socioenvironmental characteristics of their families. Logistic regression models were adjusted estimating the Odds Ratios (OR), their 95% confidence intervals (CI), and significance levels.Results
After adjusting for potential confounders, it was found that families earning more than one Brazilian minimum wage, having fewer than four residents in the house, families living in homes owned by them, and children living with both biological parents were protective factors for the presence of dental caries, and consequently, curative dental needs.Conclusions
Socioeconomic status and family structure influences the curative dental needs of children from underprivileged communities. In this sense, dental health programs should plan and implement strategic efforts to reduce inequities in oral health status and access to oral health services of vulnerable schoolchildren and their families.18.

Purpose
Orthognathic surgery in reference to the maxilla attempts to correct underlying skeletal deformities and improve function. Consequently it has the potential to significantly alter the central esthetic unit of the face, the nasolabial region. In order to evaluate the nasal morphological changes which would result following anterior maxillary segmental osteotomy (superior and posterior repositioning); four angles namely, nasolabial, nasal tip projection, columellar labial and supra tip break angle were evaluated.Method and materials
In ten selected subjects who have undergone anterior maxillary segmental osteotomy with superior and posterior repositioning, pre (T1) and post operative (T2) lateral cephalometric parameters pertaining to the four angles were analysed using Wilcoxon signed rank test.Results
A significant increase in nasolabial angle and mild changes in nasal tip projection, columellar labial angle and supra tip break angle were observed.Conclusion
The results of this study emphasize the need for the pre surgical evaluation of nasal morphology in every individual planned for anterior maxillary segmental osteotomy.20.
