Relationship of Nasolabial Angle with Maxillary Incisor Proclination and Upper Lip Thickness in North Indian Population.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between nasolabial angle (NLA) with maxillary incisor proclination (U1-NA) and upper lip thickness (ULT).

Materials And Methods: Pretreatment lateral cephalometric radiographs of 120 patients were taken, and NLA, U1-NA, and basic ULT measurements were obtained for each patient. Descriptive statistics were calculated for all the variables involved in the study.

Intermolar and Intercanine width Changes among Class I and Class II Malocclusions Following Orthodontic Treatment.

Introduction: Arch width discrepancy is important to predict treatment outcome as it affects the space availability and stability of dentition. Negligence to maintain arch form has been recognized as a prime cause of relapse.

Aim And Objective: To assess the differences in intermolar and intercanine distances among class I, class II division 1, and class II division 2 malocclusion following orthodontic treatment.

Treatment of Class III Malocclusion with Activation-Deactivation Rapid Palatal Expansion and Reverse Headgear in a Growing Patient (Alternate-Rapid Maxillary Expansion and Contraction).

Treatment of Class III malocclusion is a challenge for orthodontists. The best time to intercept this malocclusion is as early as in the deciduous dentition. Orthopedic management of Class III individuals with retruded maxilla is by protraction facemask along with rapid maxillary expansion (RME).

Propeller and jet-ski injuries during Christmas and New Year in Western Australia.

This is the first published case series of patients with injuries from watercraft propellers and jet skis. Five patients presented to the level-one trauma centre of Western Australia with such injuries over 10 days during the 2010-2011 Christmas holidays; all required surgery, and all but one sustained multiple, severe injuries.
