The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of the tongue and lip pressure on dentofacial morphology. The subjects comprised 194 patients with malocclusion. Anterior and posterior tongue elevation and lip pressures were evaluated using the Iowa...
The aim of this study is to highlight the changes that occur regarding dento-facial morphology, facial, and masticatory muscles in musicians who play wind instruments. Anatomical and functional changes may occur after the long-term use of each type o...
Background/Objectives: Non-functional oral habits, such as unilateral chewing, bruxism, and clenching, may exacerbate temporomandibular disorder (TMD) symptoms and affect skeletal morphology in patients with dentofacial deformities. This study aimed...
Airway obstruction may lead to dentofacial dysmorphogenesis, with severity influenced by age, duration, and extent of obstruction. Aims: to evaluate long-term craniofacial changes in children with a history of mouth breathing, comparing outcomes betw...
Background/Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate pretreatment osseous changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in orthognathic surgery patients using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and to determine the distribution of the finding...
Non-syndromic orofacial clefts encompass a range of morphological changes affecting the oral cavity and the craniofacial skeleton, of which the genetic and epigenetic etiologic factors remain largely unknown. The objective of this study is to explore...
Objectives: To review dento-facial evolution based on fossil data, comparative anatomy, developmental biology and genetics. Modern human evolution reveals profound insight into the technical and biological challenges faced by clinicians in daily prac...
Background/Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the strain values (SVs) of masseter muscle activity in dentofacial deformities (DDs) using ultrasound elastography. Methods: The DD group consisted of 60 patients with dentofacial deformities with sk...
Background/Objectives: Oral breathing is a common condition, particularly in children, and it is associated with significant changes in craniofacial development, dentomaxillary anomalies, and overall health. Despite extensive research, the role of or...
The treatment of dentofacial deformities generally includes orthognathic surgery in which mandibular condyle changes following surgery are a common cause of relapse. This study investigated the changes in the mandibular condyle and related muscles to...
Backround: This cross-sectional study aimed to quantify the proportion of 3D tooth–face superimposition in young adults and examine age- and gender-related differences. Methods: In 98 dental students, intraoral MCI and facial scans were acquire...

Aim Acceptable facial aesthetics is a common desire among patients presenting with dentofacial deformities planning to undergo orthognathic surgeries. Thus, professionals must be alert to their patients’ complaints as well as their desires regarding...
Background and Objectives: The long face type is associated with excessive vertical facial growth and most often with anterior open bite. In many cases of anterior open bite of high severity associated with bimaxillary dento-alveolar protrusion, lips...

The tongue trust and anterior projection through the dental arcades during swallowing is known as Adapted Swallowing (AS) and is a common finding during mixed dentition. The authors studied the morphologic dentofacial characteristics through cephalom...
Dentoskeletal changes caused by the long-term use of mandibular advancement devices (MADs) for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) have rarely been investigated in Japan. We assessed the long-term dentofacial morphological changes in 15 Japanese patients w...
In Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images, accurate tooth segmentation is crucial for oral health, providing essential guidance for dental procedures such as implant placement and difficult tooth extractions (impactions). However, due to the lac...
This narrative review addresses the complexities of managing the vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) in restorative dentistry, focusing on predictability in prosthetic reconstructions. Altering VDO impacts biological, biomechanical, esthetic, and f...
Following publication, concerns were raised regarding the relevance of references [36,37,53] in this publication [...]
