The Facial Profiling of Malocclusions: The Promise of Emerging 3-Dimensional Technologies. C Wholley and M Walters

Date: 10-14 February 2012. Source: Australian Society of Orthodontists’ 23rd Congress 2012, Perth, Australia. Abstract: The assessment of facial profile, bite and underlying dental-skeletal discrepancies are critical in the diagnosis and treatment planning of malocclusions. In addition to the clinical evaluation, other records such as facial photography, dental impressions and cephalometry are routinely taken to…

Relation Over Time Between Facial Measurements and Cognitive Outcomes in Fetal Alcohol-Exposed Children. T Foroud, L Wetherill, S Vinci-Booher, ES Moore, RE Ward, HE Hoyme, LK Robinson, J Rogers, EM Meintjes, CD Molteno, JL Jacobson, SW Jacobson.

Date: September 2012. Source: Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, Volume 36, Issue 9, pages 1634–1646, September 2012. Background: The identification of individuals exposed prenatally to alcohol can be challenging, with only those having the characteristic pattern of facial features, central nervous system abnormality, and growth retardation receiving a clinical diagnosis of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS).…

Airway Growth and Development: A Computerized 3-Dimensional Analysis. SA Schendel, R Jacobson, S Khalessi.

Date: September 2012. Source: Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Volume 70, Issue 9, Pages 2174–2183. Purpose: The present study was undertaken to investigate the changes in the normal upper airway during growth and development using 3-dimensional computer analysis from cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) data to provide a normative reference. Methods: The airway size and…

Three-dimensional evaluation of changes in lip position from before to after orthodontic appliance removal. L Eidson, LHS Cevidanes, L Koerich de Paula, HG Hershey, G Welch, PE Rossouw.

Date: September 2012. Source: American Journal of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics; Volume 142, Issue 3 , pp 410-418.
