Magister Chirurgiae Dentium (MChD) / Skeletal age assessment is not only an important aspect in orthodontic treatment planning, but is also widely used in forensic medicine and physi cal anthropology. Vari aus studi es have shown that chronological age may be at variance with an individual's biologic age. Current research would seem to indicate that the hand-wrist radiograph provides the most accurate method of assessing skeletal age for diagnostic purposes. In recent years the number of patients presenting with malocclusions of a skeletal nature at the University of the Western Cape has increased si gnifi cantly. If it i s accepted that treatment of jaw di screpancies associated with malocclusion is dependent on a large component of dentofacial orthopedics, then by implication it is necessary that a substanti al amount of faci al growth remai ns. The need has therefore arisen for the establishment of skeletal maturation trends in the Western Cape. Skeletal maturity was assessed from hand-wrist radiographs in a sample of 318 Western Cape children aged 6 to 16 years for both sexes, utilising the bone specific Tanner-Whitehouse TW-2 scoring system. Data obtai ned from the present study showed a marked difference in skel etal maturati on trends between femal es of the Western Cape to that of the British norm, while the males showed less divergence. Further, these findings show that in both sexes the epiphyseal bones matured in advance of the TW-standard. Carpal maturation, however, was delayed in the male when compared to the British standard, while that of the female conformed to that of the British standard.

It is usually associated with epilepsy, speaking, hearing and sight disorders and also mental retardation. Even though, people who have CP need special care of the prevention of factors linked to oral problems, in the odontological context, the literary information is contradictory when it comes to the incidence of oral diseases on patients who have CP. In order to determine the oral health and associated factors conditions, an epidemiological research has been made in 41 children who have cerebral palsy. The variables taken in account were: social-economical aspects, risk factors for the development of oral diseases, access to odontological care, carie index, periodontal disease, malocclusion and dental fluorose. Children who were examined showed a higher level of gingivitis and caries experience, mainly on the primary dentition, and also severe malocclusions, factors that indicate the need of early intervention, whether with educational programs or healing assistance. The study has shown that, in addition to the quantitative necessity of care, it is also necessary to improve the quality of these patients consultations / Paralisia cerebral (PC) é uma lesão encefálica estática, definida como uma desordem não progressiva dos movimentos e postura. Está comumente associada com epilepsia e anormalidades da fala, audição, visão e retardo mental. Embora os portadores de paralisia cerebral necessitem de cuidados especiais na prevenção de problemas bucais, no contexto da assistência odontológica as informações da literatura são contraditórias quanto à incidência de doenças bucais em pacientes com PC. A fim de determinar as condições de saúde bucal e fatores associados, realizou-se um levantamento epidemiológico em 41 crianças portadoras de paralisia cerebral. As variáveis avaliadas foram: aspectos sócio-econômicos, fatores de risco para o desenvolvimento de doenças bucais, acesso a serviços odontológicos, índice de cárie, doença periodontal, presença de má oclusão e fluorose dentária. As crianças examinadas apresentaram índices elevados de alteração gengival e experiência de cárie, principalmente na dentição decídua, e má oclusão severa, fatores que indicam a necessidade de intervenção precoce, seja com programas educativos e preventivos como de assistência curativa. O estudo mostrou que além da necessidade quantitativa de atendimento, também se faz necessário melhorar a qualidade das consultas desses pacientes

This study aimed to examine end-of-treatment outcomes of severe Class II Division I malocclusion patients treated with surgical or non-surgical approaches. This study tests the hypotheses that occlusal outcomes (ABO-OGS) at end of treatment will be similar while cephalometric outcomes will differ between these groups. A total of 60 patients were included: 20 of which underwent surgical correction and 40 of which did not. The end of treatment ABO-OGS and cephalometric outcomes were compared by Mann-Whitney U tests and multivariable linear regression models. Following adjustment for multiple confounders (age, gender, complexity of case, and skeletal patterns), the final deband score (ABO-OGS) was similar for both groups (23.8 for surgical group versus 22.5 for non-surgical group). Those treated surgically had a significantly larger reduction in ANB angle, 3.4 degrees reduction versus 1.5 degrees reduction in the non-surgical group (p=0.002). The surgical group also showed increased maxillary incisor proclination (p=0.001) compared to candidates treated non-surgically. This might be attributed to retroclination of incisors during treatment selection in the non-surgical group – namely, extraction of premolars to mask the discrepancy. Studies such as this are necessary because they begin to give practitioners view of not only the outcomes of a single treatment plan, but a comprehensive approach by providing evidence of the over-arching treatment used for successful treatment in both groups.

Nas imagens obtidas no corte axial foi avaliada a possibilidade de assimetria em tamanho e posição que possa existir entre o processo condilar associado com estas más oclusões. As imagens obtidas no corte sagital foram usadas para avaliar a profundidade da fossa mandibular, a relação côndilo-fossa, e a posição concêntrica dos côndilos associada com estas más oclusões. O teste t de Student pareado foi aplicado, e a correlação de Pearson foi determinada após as medidas nos os lados direito e esquerdo serem obtidas. Os resultados mostraram não haver assimetria significante (p>0,05) entre os processos condilares avaliados na amostra de Classe I. Nenhuma assimetria estatisticamente significante foi encontrada na profundidade da fossa mandibular, no espaço articular anterior e espaço articular superior. O espaço articular posterior apresentou assimetria significante (p<0,05) entre os lados direito e esquerdo. Na amostra de Classe II 1a Divisão a distância processo condilar/ plano médio-sagital (p=0,019) e o espaço articular posterior (p= 0,049) mostraram diferença significante entre os lados direito e esquerdo. Na amostra de Classe III não houve diferença significante entre os lados direito e esquerdo. Foi ignificante (p<0,05) a posição anterior dos côndilos (posição não concêntrica) nos grupos com má oclusão de Classe I, Classe II 1a Divisão e Classe III. Na amostra com má oclusão de Classe I, de todas as medidas avaliadas, somente o espaço articular posterior mostrou diferença significante entre os lados direito e esquerdo. Houve uma maior média para o espaço articular posterior na ATM direita. Na amostra com má oclusão de Classe II 1a Divisão, a distância processo condilar/ plano médio-sagital e espaço articular posterior mostraram diferença significante entre os lados direito e esquerdo. Na amostra com má oclusão de Classe III não houve diferença significante entre os lados direito e esquerdo. Uma avaliação da posição concêntrica dos côndilos em suas respectivas fossas mandibulares mostrou uma posição não concêntrica para os lados direito e esquerdo nos grupos com má oclusão de Classe I, Classe II e Classe III. / Thirty persons ranging from 13 years to 30 years of age with Class I malocclusion, thirty persons ranging from 12 years to 38 of age with Class II Division 1 malocclusion and sixteen persons ranging from 13 years to 41 years of age with Class III malocclusion underwent computed tomography of the temporomandibular joints. The images obtained from axial slices were evaluated for possible asymmetries in size and position that may exist between the condylar processes associated with these malocclusions. The images obtained from sagittal slices were used to assess the depth of the mandibular fossa, the condyle-fossa relationship, and the concentric position of the condyles associated with these alocclusions. Paired Student t tests were applied, and Pearson product moment correlations were determined after measurements on both right and left sides were obtained. The results of this study showed no statistically significant asymmetries between the condylar processes evaluated in Class I sample. No statistically significant asymmetries were found in the depth of the mandibular fossa, in the anterior joint space and superior joint space. The posterior joint space showed statistically significant asymmetry (P < .05) between right and left sides. In Class II Division 1 malocclusion sample the distance condylar process/ midsagittal plane (P: .019) and posterior joint space (P: .049) showed statistically significant asymmetry between right and left sides. In Class III malocclusion sample no statistically significant asymmetries were found between right and left sides. A statistically significant (P < .05) anterior positioning of the condyles was observed (nonconcentric positioning) in Class I, Class II Division 1 and Class III group. In the Class I malocclusion sample, of all measurements evaluated, only the posterior articular space showed statistically significant difference between the right side and the left side. There was a higher mean for the posterior articular space on the right TMJ. In the Class II Division 1 malocclusion sample, the distance condylar process/ midsagittal plane and the posterior articular space showed statistically significant difference between the right and left sides. In the Class III sample there was no statistically significant difference between the right and left sides. Evaluation of the concentric position of the condyles in their respective mandibular fossae showed a nonconcentric positioning for right and left sides in the Class I, in the Class II and in the Class III malocclusion groups.

Syfte: Syfte med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka oral hälsa hos barn och ungdomar med Downs syndrom    Metod: Studien är en allmän litteraturstudie där sökningarna genomfördes i databaserna CINAHL, MEDLINE och Dentistry &amp; oral sciences source (DOSS). Vetenskapliga artiklar som svarade på studiens syfte valdes utifrån inklusions- och exklusionskriterier samt relevanta sökord. Resultat: Totalt granskades 22 kvantitativa studier som visade att barn och ungdomar med Downs syndrom hade sämre munhygien, fler orala sjukdomar och bettavvikelser jämfört med barn och ungdomar utan Downs syndrom. De redovisade orala sjukdomarna/ tillstånden var karies, gingivit, parodontit, oral candidos, bettavvikelser, attrition, agenesi och dental erosion. Riskfaktorer som kan påverka utveckling av orala sjukdomar och bettutvecklings störningar var exempelvis munhygienvanor och oralmotoriska faktorer. Slutsats: Barn och ungdomar med Downs syndrom har en ökad risk att drabbas av orala sjukdomar och bettavvikelser. Genom ökad kunskap om den orala hälsan hos barn och ungdomar med Downs syndrom kan tandhygienister arbeta förebyggande och motivera till stöd och omhändertagande för denna riskgrupp. / Aim: The aim of this literature study was to investigate oral health in children and adolescents with Down syndrome. Method: The study is a general literature study where the searches were carried out in the databases CINAHL, MEDLINE and Dentistry &amp; oral sciences source (DOSS). Scientific articles that responded to the purpose of the study were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria and relevant keywords. Results: A total of 22 quantitative studies were reviewed which showed that children and adolescents with Down syndrome had poorer oral hygiene, more oral diseases and malocclusions compared to children and adolescents without Down syndrome. The reported oral diseases/conditions were caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, oral candidosis, malocclusions, attrition, agenesis and dental erosion. Risk factors that can influence the development of oral diseases and malocclusions, for example, oral hygiene habits and oral motor factors. Conclusion: Children and young people with Down syndrome have an increased risk of suffering from oral diseases and malocclusions. Through increased knowledge about the oral health of children and young people with Down syndrome, dental hygienists can work preventively and motivate support and care for this risk group.
