The Relationship

Beginning with its founding at the start of this century by Edward H. Angle, the orthodontic profession's primary concern for its first forty years was the relationship of teeth. Orthodontists' efforts were directed towards how the teeth interdigitated. Since the early 1940's, due to the influence of Doctors Tweed, Brodie, Steiner, Margolis, etc., emphasis has been placed upon the effects of orthodontics on the patient's profile, and the profession was then concerned with both esthetics and tooth function. There are two final areas into which the bulk of the orthodontic profession has yet to move, and they are the areas of the temporomandibular joint myofunctional therapy. Orthodontists must now begin to incorporate TMJ function and the results of myofunctional therapy into their thinking and into their treatment plans and realize the effect they have upon improving the skeletal muscle, neurology and physiology of the patient's face as well as his facial esthetics and the cuspal interdigitation of his teeth. The dental profession as a whole must not only realize the role myofunctional therapy has in attaining these goals, but the role it plays in maintaining their subsequent stability.

Rheumatic Symptoms

In order to determine the relationship of scarlatinal arthritis to rheumatic fever, 18 patients who experienced joint symptoms early in the course of scarlet fever were interviewed and examined 1 to 20 years later to establish the incidence of subsequent rheumatic symptoms. Two patients experienced definite pancarditis during the original illness, and the course of the arthritis in two additional cases was highly suggestive of rheumatic fever. Subsequent stigmata of rheumatic fever appeared in six other patients. Thus, the episode of scarlatinal arthritis probably represented rheumatic fever in eight instances, and possibly in two more. It is concluded that scarlatinal arthritis is most likely a manifestation of rheumatic fever.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of malocclusion with the presence and severity of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) in children. Materials and Methods A clinical examination was performed in 87 patients (from 4 to 14 years of age) who attended the dentistry clinics of Universidad del Valle. Results The 77 patients studied had malocclusions; 55 patients had TMD and 67.3% were female. The most frequent symptom of TMD was articular unilateral noise with 33.8%, followed by pain in at least one masticatory muscle with 26%. TMJ pain was observed in 24.7% of the patients. There was a statistically significant relationship between the presence and severity of TMD with type of dentition and transverse malocclusion, respectively. Conclusion The presence of TMD in children with malocclusion presented in a high frequency. TMD depends on the type of dentition and its severity is dependent on transverse malocclusion.

Skeletal Asymmetry

Introduction. Facial asymmetries associated with lateral displacement of the jaw arise due to various reasons, namely, the presence of functional lateral displacement of the lower jaw, skeletal asymmetry of the maxillofacial region, and a combination of the above factors. Purpose. Identification of the etiological factor makes it possible to assess the possibility of correcting the position of the lower jaw and improving the relationship of the intra-articular structures of the temporomandibular joint. Materials and methods. Functional lateral displacement of the lower jaw is characterized by an asymmetric tone of the masticatory muscles, a change in the position of the chin, and dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint on the side of the displacement of the lower jaw. The article discusses a clinical case of a patient with pathology of the temporomandibular joint associated with functional displacement of the mandible. Comparison of the data of cone-beam computed tomography of the lower jaw at the site of attachment of the masticatory muscle before and after the elimination of the asymmetry of the maxillofacial region was carried out. Conclusion. An asymmetric change in the displacement of the condyles was obtained according to the data of electronic axiography, an improvement in the ratio of intra-articular structures, the presence of a change when comparing STL models of the lower jaw.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

Insight Into

Echinodermata is a phylum of marine invertebrates which has been extant since Cambrian time (c.a. 500 m.y. before the present). Modern examples of echinoderms include sea urchins, sea stars, and sea lilies (crinoids). The endoskeletons of echinoderms are composed of plates or ossicles (Fig. 1) which are with few exceptions, porous, single crystals of high-magnesian calcite. Despite their single crystal nature, fracture surfaces do not exhibit the near-perfect {10.4} cleavage characteristic of inorganic calcite. This paradoxical mix of biogenic and inorganic features has prompted much recent work on echinoderm skeletal crystallography. Furthermore, fossil echinoderm hard parts comprise a volumetrically significant portion of some marine limestones sequences. The ultrastructural and microchemical characterization of modern skeletal material should lend insight into: 1). The nature of the biogenic processes involved, for example, the relationship of Mg heterogeneity to morphological and structural features in modern echinoderm material, and 2). The nature of the diagenetic changes undergone by their ancient, fossilized counterparts. In this study, high resolution TEM (HRTEM), high voltage TEM (HVTEM), and STEM microanalysis are used to characterize tha ultrastructural and microchemical composition of skeletal elements of the modern crinoid Neocrinus blakei.
