Article Synopsis
- The study focused on analyzing nasal septum deviation (NSD), nasal bone length (NBL), and the shapes of nasal conchae in individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) compared to a control group.
- It involved 56 cone-beam computed tomography scans, classifying various nasal structures and assessing the reliability of the results.
- Findings indicated that individuals with NF1 had significantly longer NBL but only moderate differences in NSD compared to controls, suggesting complex factors influencing these nasal variations and emphasizing the need for future research on craniofacial development in NF1.
Open bite has been identified as one of the most challenging malocclusions in orthodontics. The treatment approach is complex, the resulting esthetics may not meet the patient's expectations, and the chance of recurrence is high. A 13-year-old girl presented a skeletal Class II malocclusion associated with anterior and posterior open bite, maxillary transverse deficiency, severe anterior crowding, and a hyperdivergent facial pattern.

Objective: To assess the evidence on the relationship between dental and cervical vertebrae maturation.
Materials And Methods: Searches were performed (up to December 2021) in seven databases, as well as in gray literature. Studies that included growing subjects, which evaluated the correlation between the stages of tooth formation and the maturation of cervical vertebrae, were eligible.
Objective: To assess the volume and morphology of the middle region of the pharynx (MRP) in adolescents with different anteroposterior craniofacial skeletal patterns.
Methods: One hundred twenty-six patients (56 male and 70 female), who had cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) within their records, were selected for this cross-sectional study. Participants were classified, according to their ANB angle value, in Class I (1o ≤ ANB ≤ 3o), Class II (ANB > 3o) and Class III (ANB < 1o).
