Maximum voluntary molar bite force in subjects with malocclusion: multifactor analysis
Published in The Journal of International Medical Research
Objective This study was performed to determine the maximum voluntary molar bite force (MVMBF) in relation to age, sex, lip competency, midline shifting, dental and skeletal malocclusion, overjet, overbite, and crowding. Methods One hundred Saudi patients with orthodontic malocclusion aged 14 to 25 years (51 male and 49 female patients) were invest...
Is there association between dental malocclusion and bruxism? A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Published in Journal of oral rehabilitation
Given that current literature largely dissociates dental malocclusion and bruxism, the objective of this study was to gather, through a systematic review, scientific evidence to support their relationship. This study was performed according to the PECO strategy (where P = general population; E = dental malocclusion; C = no dental malocclusion; and ...
Novel Sub-Clustering of Class III Skeletal Malocclusion Phenotypes in a Southern European Population Based on Proportion...
Published in Journal of Clinical Medicine
Current phenotypic characterizations of Class III malocclusion are influenced more by gender or ethnic origin than by raw linear skeletal measurements. The aim of the present research is to develop a Class III skeletal malocclusion sub-phenotype characterization based on proportional cranial measurements using principal component analysis and clust...
Quantitative analysis of gingival phenotype in different types of malocclusion in the anterior esthetic zone
Published in Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology
Background: For any esthetic treatment planning, the shape and form of gingiva should be a prime factor of concern. The correct identification of gingival phenotype (GP) ensures a firm foundation for future health and prognosis of the treatment indicated. Hence, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the correlation between the GP in the ante...

Published in Journal of orthodontics
This case report describes the treatment of a 21-year-old man who presented in an orthodontic office for treatment but lived in a city 100 miles away and wanted the orthognathic surgery in another state in America. The patient presented with an anterior open bite and skeletal Class III relationship. The treatment plan included: (1) effective and ca...
Assessment of Malocclusion and Orthodontic Treatment Needs among Subjects with Dental Aesthetic Index: A Clinical Study
Published in Journal of Pharmacy & Bioallied Sciences
Background: Malocclusion is commonly seen condition in young adults. This study aimed to assess malocclusion and orthodontic treatment needs among subjects with dental aesthetic index (DAI). Materials and Methods: This study comprised 486 subjects with an age range of 16–24 years of either genders. A careful oral examination was performed and all f...
Personalized Dental Medicine: Impact of Intraoral and Extraoral Clinical Variables on the Precision and Efficiency of In...
Published in Journal of Personalized Medicine
(1) Objectives: The aim is to measure the influence of different intraoral (crowding and molar inclination) and extraoral (surface material and ambient light) conditions on the efficacy and efficiency of intraoral scanning. (2) Methods: In a controlled in vitro experimental study, the samples were divided into six groups showing two types of intrao...
Risk Factors Associated with Probable Sleep Bruxism of Children and Teenagers with Cerebral Palsy.
Published in The Journal of clinical pediatric dentistry
To assess the association between probable sleep bruxism (PSB) and other occlusal characteristics in children and teenagers with Cerebral Palsy (CP). A cross-sectional study was carried out with 148 participants (74 with CP and 74 without special needs) aged between 2 and 14 years old. Participants underwent an oral clinical examination to evaluate...
Correlation between lip print patterns and skeletal class I and II malocclusions – A tool to diagnose early
Published in Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care
Background: Cheiloscopic analysis has been shown to have close association with skeletal malocclusion. Hence, aim of the present study was to explore any association between lip prints patterns and skeletal class I and II malocclusions. Materials and Methods: A study sample of 90 subjects aged between 18 and 25 years was selected from individuals o...
