Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how much genetic and environmental factors influence palatal measurements in twins who have finished maxillary growth.
- It involved analyzing digital dental casts from 50 monozygotic (identical) and 35 dizygotic (fraternal) twin pairs, focusing on various palatal metrics such as height and volume.
- Results showed strong genetic influence on most palatal traits, especially in width and height, with males generally having larger dimensions than females.
Background: The interplay between genetic and environmental impacts on dental and facial morphology has been widely analyzed, but little is known about their relative contributions to airway morphology. The aim of this study was to evaluate the genetic and environmental influences on the cephalometric variables of airway morphology in a group of postpubertal twins with completed craniofacial growth.
Materials And Methods: The materials comprised lateral head cephalograms of 94 pairs of twins (50 monozygotic, 44 dizygotic) with completed craniofacial growth.
Objectives: To determine genetic and environmental impact on mandibular morphology using lateral cephalometric analysis of twins with completed mandibular growth and deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) based zygosity determination.
Materials And Methods: The 39 cephalometric variables of 141 same gender adult pair of twins were analysed. Zygosity was determined using 15 specific DNA markers and cervical vertebral maturation method was used to assess completion of the mandibular growth.
Background: Malocclusion, body posture, and breathing pattern may be correlated, but this issue is still controversial. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between the type of malocclusion, body posture, and nasopharyngeal obstruction in children aged 7-14 years.
Material And Methods: The study group comprised 94 patients aged 7-14 years (mean±SD: 11.
Background: The understanding of relative effects of genetics and environmental factors on mandible growth would increase effectiveness of orthodontic therapy and treatment planning. The purpose of this study was to clarify whether the skeletal morphology of mandible is phenotypically alike in two individuals in a pair of young adult monozygotic (MZ) twins.
Methods: The 90 twin pairs were classified as MZ by 15 specific DNA markers and Amel fragment.
Background And Objective: Malocclusion, the body posture, and the breathing pattern may correlate, but this issue is still controversial. The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between the type of malocclusion, the body posture, and the nasopharyngeal obstruction in 12-14-year-old children.
Material And Methods: The study group consisted of 76 orthodontic patients (35 boys, 41 girls) aged 12-14 years (mean age, 12.
