Objective: To investigate changes in the craniofacial skeleton in relation to the changes in condylar alterations that occur during long-term follow-up in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Materials And Methods: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement is defined as a condylar alteration that is observed on the orthopantomogram. Lateral cephalograms were used to determine linear and angular measurements.
Purpose: This anatomic biomechanical study was undertaken to gain insight into the underlining mechanism of tipping of the maxillary segments during transverse expansion using tooth-borne and bone-borne distraction devices.
Materials And Methods: An anatomic biomechanical study was performed on 10 dentate human cadaver heads using tooth-borne and bone-borne distraction devices.
Results: The amount of tipping of the maxillary halves was greater in the tooth-borne group, but the difference was not significant.
Objective: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) involvement is a frequent feature in cross-sectional prevalence studies among patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). In this followup study, patients were reviewed after 5 years to study the course of TMJ involvement in relation to disease characteristics.
Methods: Children with JIA from a previous study on TMJ involvement were included.
This report describes osteoclastic bone resorption around intraosseous fixation screws in rat and pig mandibles. These screws supported distraction devices and provided for neutral fixation following the distraction period. Progressive clinical instability of bicortical screws and radiographic and histologic evidence of osseous resorption were frequent findings.
