OBJECTIVE
The maxillofacial characteristics of patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) have previously been analyzed using standard cephalometric analysis. Malocclusion influences the occurrence of sleep apnea, but the pathology of malocclusion in OSAS has not yet been fully
Obesity and malocclusion are two very common disease worldwide affecting both adults and children, posing a threat to the physical and mental health. Our observational study assesses the impact of being obese and overweight in the development of malocclusion among childhood subjects (3-12 year old).
To evaluate the prevalence of craniofacial/orthodontic abnormalities and oral dysfunctions in a population of children with persistent sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) despite adenotonsillectomy (A&T).Medical charts of 4000 SDB children operated in a OBJECTIVE
To test the null hypothesis that there is no difference in facial profile shape, malocclusion class, or palatal morphology in Malay adults with and without obstructive sleep apnea (OSA).
METHODS
Subjects were 120 adult Malays aged 18 to 65 years (mean +/- standard deviation [SD], 33.2 +/-
This prospective clinical cohort study investigated the potential influence of obesity on orthodontic treatment outcome.A prospective cohort of adolescent patients undergoing routine fixed appliance treatment were recruited into normal-weight or obese Obesity is an important risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), and obese children with OSAS have frequently shown oxygen desaturations when compared with normal-weight children. The aim of our study was to investigate the oximetry characteristics in children with obesity and
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), one of the most common neuropsychiatric disorders that present at young age, may occasionally be associated with physical problems and disorders. Among them exists a group of oral-pharyngeal conditions with considerable clinical morbidity. Previous
OBJECTIVE
Maximal bite force of the jaw can cause thorough food chewing and result in good digestion. Bite force is related to the health of the masticatory muscles. Muscle force is frequently affected by obesity in adolescence, however, little is known about how obesity influences the maximum bite
Aim. This case-control retrospective study is aimed at assessing if obese adolescents need more orthodontic treatment in comparison with normal-weight patients of the same age. Methods. The test group included 100 obese subjects (50 males and 50 females; average age: 13.09 ± 1.19 years old) and the
OBJECTIVE
Obesity and allergic susceptibility are worsening problems in the most industrialised countries. With different mechanisms, they both lead to a deterioration of children's life quality because they affect the respiratory system, leading to asthma and respiratory disorders such as mouth
Severe malocclusions appear in up to 20 per cent of the population. Many neuropsychiatric diseases are likely to have a neurodevelopmental, partially genetic background with their origins as early as fetal life. However, the possible relationship between neurodevelopmental disorders Obesity is a growth-promoting process as evidenced by its effect on the timing of puberty. Although studies are limited, obesity has been shown to affect the timing of tooth eruption. Both the timing and sequence of tooth eruption are important to overall oral health. The purpose of this study was
Mandibular setback reduces space in the pharyngeal airway, and it has been suggested that it might induce sleep-disordered breathing. We report on its effects on space in the pharyngeal airway and respiratory function during sleep. We studied 78 patients (29 men and 49 women) in whom skeletal class
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study is to present a clinical report of a patient with Bardet-Biedl syndrome, aiming to help the dentist to identify the general aspects, systemic changes, alterations.
METHODS
Bardet-Biedl syndrome is defined as a genetic disorder of autosomal recessive condition;
We report a 21-year-old patient with a de novo mosaic, analphoid ring of chromosome 15q22.2-->q24.1. The clinical features of this patient are mild and include tall stature, obesity, striae distensae in the hypogastrium, malocclusion and bilateral gynecomastia with scarce glandular tissue. M-FISH
