Background: Real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rtMRI) is essential for diagnosing and comprehending temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movements. Current methods for tracking and analysis require manual landmark placement on each acquisition frame. Therefore, our study aimed to assess the inter- and intra-rater reliability of placing cephalometric landmarks in frames from a dynamic real-time TMJ MRI.

- - This study investigates how well orthodontists detect incidental findings in routine orthodontic radiographs, which may bear important medical implications beyond dental issues.
- - 134 orthodontists evaluated two types of radiographs, revealing that only 39.1% of incidental findings were detected, with a stronger focus on dental compared to extradental areas.
- - The research highlights that increasing professional experience correlates with better detection rates, emphasizing the need for thorough assessments of all radiographed areas in clinical practice.
Purpose: We aimed to comprehensively analyse a possible correlation between skeletal malocclusions, gender and mandibular characteristics in all three dimensions in adults and to identify mandibular characteristics that are typical for extreme skeletal patterns.
Methods: A 3D model of the skull was calculated in 111 adult patients (mean age = 27.0 ± 10.
Objective: Due to increasing numbers of adult patients presenting to orthodontic practices, an increase in incidental findings on diagnostic X‑rays, which are the cornerstone of orthodontic diagnostics, is expected. This raises the clinically relevant question of whether an age effect exists regarding prevalence, localisation and severity of incidental findings on orthodontic diagnostic X‑rays.
Materials And Methods: The clinical, primarily retrospective study examined pathological incidental findings from 600 orthopantomograms (OPT) and lateral cephalogram (LC) images in two groups of orthodontic patients (group I: 150 children/adolescents, age 11.
Objectives: Reduced occlusal function is a main characteristic of orthognathic patients. The present study aimed to investigate the extent of therapy-induced functional improvements in occlusal function using a digital diagnostic method.
Methods: This prospective clinical study included 41 orthognathic patients (24 women and 17 men, median age 27.
Desmoid fibromatosis (DF) is one of the rarest locally aggressive growing benign tumor entities. We present an overview of the literature and a rare clinical case of a 22-year-old female patient, who was diagnosed with aggressive DF in the left pharyngeal wall at the age of 4 years old.

One causal factor for the treatment need in this age group is periodontal breakdown. The aim of this study was to detect correlations between periodontal problems and orthodontic parameters in interdisciplinary patients.

Methods: This longitudinal, observational study enrolled 52 adult patients, who underwent orthodontic-surgical treatment.
Background: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is often accompanied by pathomorphological changes to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). By analyzing orthodontical orthopantomograms of JIA patients the aims of the study were a) classification of condyle changes, b) quantification of bony asymmetries of condylar destruction and c) detection of relationships between disease duration and TMJ-involvement.
Patients/methods: 46 caucasian JIA-patients (28 female; 18 male; < 16.
