Morphological caracteristics of malocclusion class II

Class II malocclusion are complex anomalies of the skeletal and dental systems. The aim of this study is that the rengenkefalometrics analysis closer determine the morphological characteristics of this malocclusion. For this study were used 30 patients aged 18-30, previously clinically diagnosed class II, before the planned orthodontic treatment. The results analisis lateral cephalometric radiographs were compared with the 30 patients with class I malocclusion. Analyzed three linear and two angular cranial base dimensions and nine angular and four linear measures from the facial skeleton. The Results show: No statistically significant differensis in cranial base angle (SNBa) and anterior cranial base length (S–N) between class II and control Class I. Angle maxillar prognathism ( SNA) is no signifikant different between class I and Class II but SNB angle were signifikant smaller. The length of maxillary base (A`-SnP) is longer and the length of mandibule (Pg`-MT1/MT) is signifficantly smaller. The gonial angle (ArGo–Me) was smaller with open articular angle (GoArSN). Morphological characteristics of class II malocclusion are , retrognathic and smaller mandibular ligth, normognathic and longer maxilla, open articular angle with vertical tendency of the craniofacial growth pattern.

THE CEPHALOMETRICS ANALYSIS OF MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS CLASS III MALOCCLUSION

Class III malocclusion are complex anomalies of the skeletal and dental systems. The aim of this study is that the sample of 30 untreated orthodontic patients, aged 18-30 years, rendgencephalometrics analysis closer to determine the mor- phological characteristics of this malocclusion. In patients previously clinically diagnosed class III. For this analysis, were used in a number of cephalometrics points on the basis of which the measured angles and planes. The results were compared with the patients with class I malocclusion and they point to the following morphological characteristics of class III maloc- clusion: a smaller cranial base, normognathic and normal size maxilla, prognathic mandible and chin, the greater the total mandibular length, open gonial angle and a larger anterior and lower posterior facial height.
Key words: malocclusion; morphology; cephalometrics

IMPORTANCE OF SELF-RATED HEALTH AS A HEALTH INDICATOR

Because of significance of self-rated health as a valid measure of health status it is important to research what influence on individuals when they assess own health.. The aims of the study were to investigate how north Kosovska Mitrovica adults describe their health and to compare results with results from Serbia without Kosovo and Metohija; and to determine which variables are connected with self-rated health status among this population. The research was conducted as crosssectional study, done on the representative sample of adult citizens in northern Kosovska Mitrovica in the year 2006. 318 examinees were examine. The instrument of research was a questionnaire which contained questions about self-rated health and demographic and socio-economic characteristics, mental health, social interaction, capability of daily activities, health behaviour and habits, diseases and injuries, utilization of health care service. Independent variables are defined through fac2 tor analysis taken from these groups of question. For statistic analysis were used X -test and multivariate stepwise linear regression. More than half of the respondents (54,7%) their health assessed as good or very good. Inhabitants of northern Kosovska Mitrovica were significantly often their health assessed as good or verz good than inhabitants of Serbia without Kosovo and Metohija (p<0,05). Self-rated health were connected with foreword variables: gender, mood problems, myocardial infarction, chronic bronchitis, psychic and neurotic disorders, rheumatic arthritis, high blood sugar, utilization of private gynecologist service and paying for diagnostic service. Results from this study correspond with findings from literature. Most of the respondents in north Kosovska Mitrovica assessed their own health as good or very good. Bad and very bad health was significantly associated with females, problems with mood, myocardial infarction, chronic bronchitis, psychic or neurotic disorders, rheumatic arthritis and high blood sugar. Good and very good health was significantly associated with utilization of private gynecologist service and paying for diagnostic service.

POSSIBILITIES OF TREATMENT IMPACTED CANINES - Case report

Introduction: Most permanent teeth erupt and establish proper occlusion. In some cases, the permanent teeth have a problem in the eruption and remain impacted in bone.There are two possibilities. 1. Extraction of impacted tooth and its replacement implant or a prosthetic replacement, 2. Surgical release of the impacted teeth and orthodontic traction in the dental arch. The time of treatment, type of surgery release impacted teeth, orthodontic techniques and possible problems during treatment, depending on the type of the impacted tooth and its location. Case report: Clinical examination 14-year-old patients concluded the lack of maxillary canine teeth in the dental arch. Panoramic image showed bilateral canine impaction in the upper jaw. The analysis of X-ray image was recorded axial and in the middle alveolar position of both the impacted tooth. This is why we chose the of closed eruption method. Discussion: Impacted maxillary canines, the middle alveolar ridge treated by closed eruption, except for a slight increase in clinical crown of the tooth does not show other changes deteriorate.

VARIATIONS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MAXILLAAND MANDIBLE st nd rd TO CRANIAL BASE IN PERSON WITH 1 , 2 AND 3 CLASS BY ANGLE

Introduction: In 1899. Angle introduced his own classification of malocclusions which was established anteroposterior relationship between maxilla and mandible.Later cephalometric examinations showed possible variations of the relationship between maxilla and mandible to cranial base, in all three classes. The aim work: The aim of this work was to ascertain types of the relationship between maxilla and mandible to cranial base in persons with I,II and III class by Angle. Material and method:The profile telerendgenograms were used in male and female aged aprroximately 14,5 years. On the bases of clinical examination and analysis of models,the patients were previously distributed into three groups with 50 examinees in each,according to Angle classification of malocclusions in saggital plain.SNAand SNB angle were analysed, and on the bases were individual values, the type of the relation between maxilla and mandible to cranial base was determined for every examinee. Results: In persons with Angle I class, eight types of the relationship were determined,while five types in persons with Angle II and III class of the relationship of jaw to cranial base. Conclusion: Because of large number of variationsof the relationship of jaw to cranial base diagnostic procedure should evolve, and treatment of the very similar cases should be different
