Dental Arch Length

Background: Dental arch form and dimension are fundamental factors in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. Its dimension will increase, due to the eruption of teeth, and is also affected by ethnicity, nutrition, systemic disease, hormonal factors, and gender. Many teeth are erupting in 8–10-year-old children. Purpose: This study aimed to assess the correlation between age and dental arch dimension of Javanese children in good nutritional status for consideration of orthodontic treatment. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study with 66 children aged 8–10 years in a normal dentoskeletal relationship, grouped based on age as the subject. Each group consisted of 22 pairs of dental study models, male and female. Anterior and posterior size of dental arch length were measured by digital sliding calipers from the midpoint between the right and left permanent central incisors perpendicular to the inter-canines and inter-molars. The width was measured at the inter-canines and inter-molars. Results: Pearson’s correlation test showed that there were significant correlations between age and maxillary dental arch lengths (p = 0.01, r = 0.31 for anterior, and p = 0.043, r = 0.249 for posterior). Conclusion: Based on this study, it can be concluded that there was a positive correlation between age and dental arch length of 8–10-year-old Javanese children in good nutritional status, especially in maxillary dental arch length.

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is characterized by pain and dysfunction in the temporomandibular join (TMJ) and the masticatory apparatus. Associations with autoimmune diseases, inflammatory conditions, and nutrition deficiencies have been reported in previous studies of TMD patients. To evaluate essential proteins, hormones, electrolytes, and vitamins in serum from TMD patients, a standard blood sample analysis was performed in 60 TMD patients and 60 healthy controls matched for age and gender, retrieving 19 different analyses. We found that TMD patients had significantly higher values of hemoglobin (p=0.036), cobalamin (p=0.023), albumin (p=0.005), parathyroid hormone (PTH) (p=0.038), and vitamin D (p=0.005), and significantly lower values of creatinine (p=0.006) and potassium (p=0.011), compared to controls. In the TMD group, most of the determinants had a wider range, and several subjects, compared to the control group, had values outside the normal reference area. However, most of the TMD patients and controls had values within normal biological range. Our findings could not associate any severe systemic disease, malnutrition, or systemic inflammation with the TMD. Results from our study suggest that serum analyses should neither be used as a biomarker of TMD nor a diagnostic tool for an individual subject with TMD.

Background: Among the most popular methods employed to classify the depth of the olfactory fossa is Keros classification. This study aims to assess Keros classification of the ethmoid roof, any possible association between Keros types and gender, and the incidence of asymmetry between right and left sides among Iraqi patients.  Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at Al-Shaheed Gazi Al-Hariri Teaching Hospital, Medical City, Baghdad, Iraq. The archived reports and the CT scans images (nose and paranasal sinuses) of 126 patients who have undergone functional endoscopic sinus surgery between January 2019 and January 2020 were reviewed. Univariate and bivariate statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 24. The statistically significant was considered at less than 0.05. Results: More than half of patients were females (54.0%) with a mean age of 31.52 ± 11.38 (SD) years (range: 10-57 years). Among the total patients, the mean depth of olfactory fossa (OF) was 3.58 ± 0.02 mm. Results showed that Keros type I was the most common type (71.0%), followed by type II (27.4%) and type III (1.6%) respectively. The difference in the olfactory fossa depth between the right and left sides was ≥ 1 mm in 16 (12.7%) patients and < 1 mm in 110 (87.3%) patients. Moreover, there was no significant relation between symmetry/asymmetry and gender ( p-value > 0.05). Conclusion: Keros type I was the most common type, which carries the lowest risk of inadvertent intracranial injury during endoscopic sinus surgery; besides the relatively low percentage of asymmetry in the depth of the two olfactory fossae among patients, surgeons should always be cautious during surgery to avoid iatrogenic injury concerning the thin lateral lamella of the cribriform plate.

Background: Adolescence is accompanied by increase in nutritional requirements due to the rapid growth and development associated with it. Adolescent nutritional status extends to adulthood and a predisposing factor to childhood malnutrition and non-communicable diseases in adulthood. Objective: To determine the prevalence and pattern of malnutrition among adolescent in a semi-urban community in Sokoto. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional study carried out between January and June, 2018 at Gwuiwa community, Wamakko LGA, Sokoto State. The demographics, weight, height and BMI were documented. Nutritional status was determined using the WHO BMI tables for appropriate age and gender. The socio-economic class of the participants was determined the Ogunlesi's classification. Data were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0. A p-value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results: Respondents' mean age was 12.6 (±2.3) about two-thirds of the respondents were aged 10-13 years. There were 84 (42.4%) males with M:F ratio of 1:1.4. One hundred and eight (54.6%), 63(31.8%) and 27(13.6%) were from lower, middle and upper socio-economic classes respectively. About a third (30.3%) of the respondents were stunted, 33 (16.7%) wasted and 3(1.5%) were overweight. Age (p=0.008) and socio-economic status (p= 0.04) were the correlates of adolescent malnutrition. Conclusion: Undernutrition is commoner among adolescents; with emerging overnutrition in the study area. There is need for concerted efforts on prevention at all levels to reduce its impact on non-communicable diseases and the nutritional status of future generations of our community.

Abstract Background: In fixed orthodontic therapy, maintenance of the original mandibular arch form is considered an essential factor for stability, moreover with the popular use of elastic archwires, and because its shape cannot be easily altered, the pre-determination of mandibular arch form becomes very important for each patient. The purpose of this study is to analyze the mandibular dental arch forms of Sudanese adults with normal occlusion and provides an easy method for orthodontists to determine different types of arch form. Methods: This Descriptive analytical, cross-sectional study determined the mandibular arch in a sample of 104 Sudanese university students. Measurements were done in the mandibular dental cast. Three arch widths and three arch lengths measurements were established and five ratios were determined. Analysis of arch form was done according to Raberin’s polynomial method. Results: The mid arch form was the most prevalent (75%), followed by narrow arch form (11.54%), wide arch form (6.73%), and pointed arch form (6.73%). There were no cases in flat arch form. Conclusions: In Sudanese subjects, four types of arch form were recognized. Norms of transverse and sagittal dimensions of the mandibular arch to determine types of the mandibular arch form in Sudanese orthodontic patients become available.

The measurement of handgrip strength (HGS) is an indicator of an individual’s overall strength and can serve as a predictor of morbidity and mortality. This study aims to investigate whether HGS is associated with handedness in young adults and if it is influenced by anthropometric characteristics, body composition, and sport-related parameters. We conducted a cross-sectional study on a sample of 544 young Italian adults aged 18–30 years. We measured HGS using a dynamometer and collected data on handedness and physical activity, along with anthropometric measurements. In both sexes, the HGS of the dominant side was significantly greater than that of the non-dominant side. Furthermore, in ambidextrous individuals, the right hand was stronger than the left. A comparison between the lowest and the highest tercile of HGS highlighted its significant association with anthropometric and body composition parameters in both sexes. Moreover, sex, dominant upper arm muscle area, arm fat index, fat mass, and fat-free mass were found to be significant predictors of HGS by multiple regression analysis. Our findings suggest that HGS is especially influenced by body composition parameters and handedness category. Therefore, HGS can be used as a proxy for unhealthy conditions with impairment of muscle mass, provided that the dominance in the laterality of the subject under examination is taken into account.

Aim: To determine the most common rugae pattern and to find if it has any association with dental arch form or malocclusion. Study Design and setting: It was a retrospective cross-sectional study conducted using the records of 200 patients visiting the Orthodontic Outpatient department of Bahria University Medical and Dental College. Methodology: Number, size, orientation and pattern of palatal rugae were assessed on the plaster models. Dental malocclusion along with dental arch form and width were also evaluated. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies were analyzed. Chi square, Fischer exact test and One Way ANOVA was used to see the significance of differences, p≤0.05 was considered as significant. Results: The sample comprised of class I (n=97), class II(n=87) and class III(n=16).113 cases had inter-molar width >44mm while 87 had ≤44mm. Posterior orientation of the rugae, was pre-dominant for both right (n=100) and left (n=122) first rugae. The most common pattern was curved for both first rugae on right (n=66) and left (n=72) sides. Conclusion: Our study showed that the rugae pattern, size and numbers did not show significant variation in different malocclusion classes. It can be concluded that rugae pattern do not have any significant association with malocclusion class or arch form. Keywords: Arch form, Arch width, Forensic dentistry, Malocclusion, Palatal Rugae

This paper conducts a cross sectional study on 4 Bangla speaking RHD (right hemisphere of the brain damaged) participants at the level of discourse (controlled conversation, in lines of narrated stories being retold by the participants), along with 4 age and gender matched controls. We looked at the pitch range in discourse, for these participants. Pitch range is the difference between the highest pitch and lowest pitch points used in the course of a discourse. The ability to modulate the pitch of voice is attributed to the right hemisphere of the brain and damage to it causes inhibitions in the ability to modulate the minimum and maximum pitch. This is important because we convey a lot of information through the use of pitch. Loss of information in speech, in terms of pitch information is very common among stroke patients, if there is damage to the right brain. The loss of pitch information in voice is manifested in a manner such that individuals without training or resources and tools would find it difficult to understand RHD issues.
