Relationship between occlusal findings and orofacial myofunctional status in primary and mixed dentition. Part II: Prevalence of orofacial dysfunctions.

Aim: The aim of this study was to provide basic data on the prevalence of orofacial dysfunctions in primary and early mixed dentition and to examine occlusal relationships in their functional context, and to analyze the need for and potential of orthodontic prevention and early treatment.

Subjects And Methods: We assessed the occlusal relationships and myofunctional status of 3,041 children. The presence of dynamic and static myofunctional disorders and any oral habits were documented during functional analysis.

Relationship between occlusal findings and orofacial myofunctional status in primary and mixed dentition. Part I: Prevalence of malocclusions.

Aim: The aim of this study is to provide basic data on the prevalence of malocclusions and orofacial dysfunctions in the primary and early mixed dentition, to examine occlusal relationships in their functional context, and to analyze the need for and potential of orthodontic prevention.

Subjects And Methods: Occlusal relationships and myofunctional status were evaluated in 766 children in the primary dentition and in 2,275 children in the early mixed dentition. Orthodontic findings in single jaws and intermaxillary occlusal relationships were clinically analyzed in all three dimensions.

[Unilateral hypertrophy of the coronoid process associated with facial asymmetry. Case report].

A rare case of unilateral coronoid process hypertrophy associated with limitation of mouth opening, deviation of the mandible to the affected side and facial asymmetry is reported. The importance of a thorough preoperative clinical and radiological examination is stressed. The resection of the coronoid process via an intraoral approach and the subsequent physiotherapy led to a good functional and aesthetic result.
