Measurement error and reliability of three available 3D superimposition methods in growing patients.

Introduction: Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) images can be superimposed, allowing three-dimensional (3D) evaluation of craniofacial growth/treatment effects. Limitations of 3D superimposition techniques are related to imaging quality, software/hardware performance, reference areas chosen, and landmark points/volumes identification errors. The aims of this research are to determine/compare the intra-rater reliability generated by three 3D superimposition methods using CBCT images, and compare the changes observed in treated cases by these methods.

Reliability of three-dimensional anterior cranial base superimposition methods for assessment of overall hard tissue changes: A systematic review.

Objective: The purpose of this systematic review was to synthesize the available literature concerning the reliability of three-dimensional superimposition methods when assessing changes in craniofacial hard tissues.

Materials And Methods: Four electronic databases were searched. Two authors independently reviewed potentially relevant articles for eligibility.

Association between Breast Feeding and Paediatric Sleep Disordered Breathing: a Systematic Review.

Background: Breast feeding has been suggested as a potential protective factor against childhood snoring and sleep disordered breathing (SDB). SDB can have major health consequences. The objective of this systematic review is to synthesise the available literature concerning any potential association between infant feeding methods and SDB in young children.
