Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the relations between orbit-related structures and sex, age and skeletal deformities using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Methods: This retrospective study evaluated 216 consecutive CBCT scans of patients, who were divided according to: sex (male, n=105; female, n=111), age (A1: 18-32 years, n=71; A2: 33-47 years, n=78; A3: 48-62 years, n=67), and skeletal deformities (Class I, n=70; Class II, n=75; Class III, n=71). The supraorbital foramen (SOF) location, volume of orbit, optic canal (OC) and infraorbital canal (IOC) were evaluated. Results were analyzed using the Gamma model test. The Tukey-Kramer post-hoc test was used to compare the variables with three factors (p<0.05). Results: The IOC volume showed higher values for male, A3 and class I patients. The SOF location and the orbital volume also showed higher values for male patients. Regarding the volume of CO, it showed higher values ​​for male and class I patients. Conclusions: According to our results, sex has been shown to have a significant influence on orbit-related structures. Age and skeletal deformities also influenced the volume of IOC and OC. These results eventually help the clinical practice, being useful for orbital reconstruction surgeries, anthropological studies, gender identification and identification of susceptibility to pathological conditions related to sexual dimorphism.

Abstract Background. The epidemiology of the population living in a country plays an important role in the planning and implementation of dental services. Correct identification of the need for orthodontic treatment in individuals is a very complex subject and requires detailed analysis. The aim of this study was to measure the prevalence of malocclusion among randomly selected subjects aged 12-15 years attending secondary schools regardless of any socio-economic or social status in Northern Cyprus.Methods. After the approval of the competent authorities in the Ministry of National Education and the Ministry of Health of Northern Cyprus and of the parents whose subjects were to take part in the study, the evaluation was carried out by a team of three people, two of whom are in the process of specializing in orthodontics and one doctoral student at the qualification stage. The study included a randomly selected sampling composed of 426 subjects (203 females and 223 males). Results. The statistical evaluation of the samples collected in the study found that 20.6% of the subjects had no occurrence of occlusion, 74.4% had Class I, 21.1% had Class II (part 1, 18.8%, part 2, 2.3%) and 4.5% had Class III malocclusion. Of the 419 patients, 86 (20.2%) were in need of orthodontic treatment. Although not statistically significant, it was determined that 19.7% of female patients and 20.7% of the male patients were in need for orthodontic treatment.Conclusions. The most common orthodontic malocclusion in Cyprus is Class I, the least common malocclusion is Class II division 2.

Introduction: Evaluation of temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) anatomy and function is an essential part of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. It has been hypothesized that dental and skeletal malocclusions alter the functional loading of TMJ which can affect joint morphology.Objective: Three dimensional (3D) evaluation of condylar position using CBCT in skeletal Class I and Class III growing subjects.Materials & Method: CBCT images of ten growing skeletal Class I & ten Class III patients in the age range of 7-14 years were analyzed. 3D condylar position were evaluated representing antero-posterior, vertical, laterolateral position of condyle, axial condylar angle and coronal condylar angles which were measured in axial, coronal and sagittal sections using Dolphin Imaging software. Antero-posterior and vertical difference of right and left condyle were measured in axial and coronal sections respectively.Result: Paired t-Test revealed no significant difference between right and left sides of condyle in skeletal Class I as well as Class III subjects. Independent t-test and Mann-Whitney U test showed no significant difference between position of condyle in ClassI and Class III subjects.Conclusion: 3D CBCT analysis shows no significant difference in condylar position of skeletal Class I and Class III subjects.

Abstract Background: Stress concentration may cause bone resorption even lead to the failure of implantation. This study was designed to investigate whether a certain sagittal root position could cause stress concentration around maxillary anterior custom-made root-analogue implants via three-dimensional finite element analysis.Methods: Six models were constructed and divided into two groups. The smooth group included models of unthreaded custom-made implants in Class I, II or III sagittal root positions. The threaded group included models of reverse buttress-threaded implants in the three positions. Stress distributions under vertical and oblique loads of 100 N were analyzed.Results: Stress concentrations around the labial lamella area were more prominent in the Class I position than in the Class II and Class III positions under oblique loading. Under vertical loading, the most obvious stress concentration areas were the labial lamella and palatal apical areas in the Class I and Class III positions, respectively. Stress was relatively distributed in the labial and palatal lamellae in the Class II position. The maximum von Mises stress in the bone around the custom-made root-analogue implants in this study was lower than around traditional implants reported in the literature. Additionally, compared to the smooth group, the threaded group showed lower von Mises stress in the bone around the implants.Conclusions: The sagittal root position affected the von Mises stress distribution around custom-made root-analogue implants. There was no certain sagittal root position that could cause excessive stress concentration around the custom-made root-analogue implants. Among the three sagittal root positions, the Class II position would be the most appropriate site for custom-made root-analogue implants.

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the outcome of early treatment in Class I, II, and III malocclusions based on the reduction of weighted Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) scores. Materials and Methods: Two hundred thirty subjects (female = 105; male = 125) selected from 400 cases were divided into three groups based on their malocclusions (Class I, II, and III). The PAR index was evaluated prior to early treatment (T0), at the end of phase I (T1), and after completion of phase II therapy (T2). The reliability of overall PAR scores was assessed by Bland-Altman plot and intraclass correlation coefficient. The starting age, total weighted PAR scores and their changes after phase I and II treatments, treatment time, and the percentage of correction in the three different malocclusions were assessed by repeated-measures analysis of variance with post hoc analysis. The level of significance was set at P &lt; .05. Results: More than 30% reduction of the weighted PAR scores and less than 10 points of the remaining weighted PAR scores were observed in all malocclusion groups at T1. The Class III group had the highest percentage of correction during phase I treatment. Conclusions: Early treatment effectively reduced the complexity of Class I, II, and III malocclusions and accounted for 57%, 64%, and 76% of the total correction, respectively, after phase I treatment, as indicated by an overall reduction in weighted PAR scores. The Class III group responded most favorably to early treatment followed by the Class II group.

Abstract The aim of our study was to compare soft tissue measurements with 3D imaging methods in individuals with untreated skeletal and pseudo-Class III malocclusions. The study sample consisted of 75 patients (38 males, 37 females, mean age 12.41 ± 2.35 years) with pseudo- and true skeletal Class III malocclusions and skeletal Class I malocclusions. Soft tissue evaluations of all patients were performed using 3D stereophotogrammetric facial images. In our study, 26 landmarks, 17 linear measurements, 13 angular measurements, and 5 volume measurements were made using the 3dMD Vultus software. The significance was determined to be p < 0.05 in ANOVA, Tukey tests. No significant differences were found among the groups in terms of demographic data (p > 0.05). The skeletal Class I control group had a significantly more extended upper lip and vermillion length as compared to the Class III groups. The soft tissue convexity angle and upper nasal angle were found to be wider in the Class III malocclusion group compared to those in the Class I control group. While the pseudo-Class III group had a significantly lower midface volume, chin volume was significantly higher in the skeletal class group. Upper lip volume was significantly higher in the Class I group. Using 3dMD for guiding clinicians in the differential soft and hard tissue diagnosis of pseudo-Class III malocclusions, differences were revealed in Class I patients in the middle part of the face. In the differential diagnosis of true Class III malocclusions, chin volume was found to be different from that of Class I patients.

Abstract BACKGROUND The female predominance of meningiomas may reflect a hormonal influence on tumorigenesis. Obesity alters steroid synthesis and chronically exposes men to hyperestrogenemia. OBJECTIVE Identify differences in males undergoing craniotomy for meningioma compared to other tumors or aneurysms. METHODS The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was retrospectively queried from 2013–2018 for cases of craniotomy for resection of meningioma, other tumor, and aneurysm by CPT code in male patients and confirmed with postoperative ICD-10 code. Height and weight data were used to create body mass index (BMI): underweight (&lt; 18.5), normal (18.5 to&lt; 25), overweight (25 to&lt; 30), class I obesity (30 to&lt; 35), class II obesity (35 to&lt; 40), and class III obesity (40+). RESULTS We identified 2,458 males who underwent craniotomy for meningioma, 9,889 for other tumor, and 386 for aneurysm. Using multivariable logistic regression, age (OR 1.01 per year, 95% CI 1.01-1.01, p&lt; 0.001), diabetes mellitus (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.17–1.48, p&lt; 0.001), and increasing BMI (overweight: OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.36–1.76, p&lt; 0.001; class I: OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.75–2.30, p&lt; 0.0001; class II: OR 2.05, 95% CI 1.24–1.76, p&lt; 0.001; class III: OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.24–1.76, p&lt; 0.0001) were significantly and independently associated with craniotomy for meningioma compared to other tumor or aneurysm. For other tumor, higher BMI was associated with lower likelihood (overweight: OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.62–0.79, p&lt; 0.001; class I: OR 0.55, 95% CI 0.49–0.63, p&lt; 0.001; class II: OR 0.52, 95% CI 0.44–0.62, p&lt; 0.001; class III: OR 0.74, 95% CI 0.63–0.87, p&lt; 0.001). For aneurysm, there was no significant difference (overweight p=0.70; class I p=0.65; class II p=0.76; class III p=0.57). CONCLUSIONS BMI independently predicts having craniotomy for meningioma when compared to other tumor or aneurysm amongst US male patients.

SUMMARY The present study aimed to characterize the pattern and volume of polymerization shrinkage of flowable resin composites, including one conventional, two bulk fill, and one self-adhesive. Standardized class I preparations (2.5 mm depth × 4 mm length × 4 mm wide) were performed in 24 caries-free human third molars that were randomly divided in four groups, according to the resin composite and adhesive system used: group 1 = Permaflo + Peak Universal Bond (PP); group 2 = Filtek Bulk Fill + Scotchbond Universal (FS); group 3 = Surefil SDR + XP Bond (SX); and group 4 = Vertise flow self-adhering (VE) (n=6). Each tooth was scanned three times using a microcomputed tomography (μCT) apparatus. The first scan was done after the cavity preparation, the second after cavity filling with the flowable resin composite before curing, and the third after it was cured. The μCT images were imported into three-dimensional rendering software, and volumetric polymerization shrinkage percentage was calculated for each sample. Data were submitted to one-way analysis of variance and post hoc comparisons. No significant difference was observed among PP, FS, and VE. SX bulk fill resin composite presented the lowest values of volumetric shrinkage. Shrinkage was mostly observed along the occlusal surface and part of the pulpal floor. In conclusion, polymerization shrinkage outcomes in a 2.5-mm deep class I cavity were material dependent, although most materials did not differ. The location of shrinkage was mainly at the occlusal surface.
