Background: Temporomandibular disorders are the most common condition affecting the orofacial region, resulting in pain and dysfunction.
Objective: This study aimed to elucidate the ambiguous association between cervical features and temporomandibular disorders by measuring the rotations between the skull-atlas, atlas-axis and mandible-atlas and examining the relationship between these rotations and temporomandibular disorders.
Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images from 176 patients, 97 females and 79 males with an average age of 25.
Objectives: To compare the skeletal and dental effects of different types of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) appliances using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials/methods: This multi-centre study was conducted with a total of 56 patients. The sample consisted of two groups including the McNamara-Type RME (MNR) group with 30 patients (16 females, 14 males, mean age: 13.
