[Study of dento-alveolar changes in patients with hypodontia].

Introduction: Congenital absence of teeth is one of the most prevalent craniofacial malformation and dental disorder. Hypodontia may present with varying degrees of severity. The absence of all teeth (anodontia) is rare.

[Study of skeletal features in congenital hypodontia].

Introduction: The incidence of congenital hypodontia is increasing in daily practice. Early diagnosis of this dental disorder and the associated skeletal malocclusions is crucial for successful and stable final rehabilitation.

Aim: Comparison of cephalometric findings of patients with hypodontia of 1-4 teeth with the measurement results of the control group without teeth agenesis.

[Dental morphological and metric characteristics in contemporary and historical population of Târgu Mureș].

Introduction: Teeth, as an integral part of human organism, are not exceptions from the physical anthropology changes caused by biological evolution and the way of living. Different stress factors and the natural selection are contributing to the emphasis of certain morphological characteristics.

Aim: Comparison of dental metric characteristics and the presence of accessory tooth cusps between human remains from the Middle Ages and dental study models of today's patients.

[Objective evaluation of orthodontic treatment need with Dental Aesthetic Index].

Introduction And Aim: To evaluate the frequency and severity of the malocclusions and treatment need in a group of adult patients in Târgu-Mureș, dividing them up according to age and gender.

Method: Sixty-four, randomly selected patients were divided up according to age and gender. Ten occlusal traits related to dentofacial anomalies according to missing teeth, spacing, crowding and occlusion were used to evaluate the malocclusions on each of their study cast.

[Study of the canalis mandibulae morphology in different vertical facial types].

Introduction: The precise knowledge of the position of canalis mandibulae and foramen mandibulae is important for surgical and endodontic interventions on the mandible.

Aim: The aim of the study is to examine the position of these anatomical landmarks in different vertical facial types.

Method: In the panorama radiograph of 26 normodivergent, 26 hypodivergent and 28 hyperdivergent arthritis (total of 1360 measurements) we measured the distance between the canalis mandibulae and interdental septums, the apex of the lateral teeth, the mandibular base, the goniac angle, and the steepness of the canal and the distance the foramen mandibulae to the anterior and posterior margin of the ramus.
