The results of cephalometric analysis in the dynamics of orthodontic treatment of patients with transversal anomalies of occlusion.

Objective: Introduction: This article discusses the problems of the current issue of modern orthodontics aimed at increasing the effectiveness of diagnosis and treatment of transversal anomalies of occlusion in patients in periods of alternating and permanent bites by using standard orthodontic equipment in combination with orthopedic treatment by physical rehabilitation methods. In this work, the features of cephalometric indices in patients with transversal anomalies of occlusion have been studied, which make it possible to approach the choice of orthodontic treatment method in a comprehensive way. The aim was to prove the efficiency of the combination of standard orthodontic equipment with orthopedic treatment by physical rehabilitation methods.

Influence of growth hormone therapy on selected dental and skeletal system parameters.

Introduction: Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is one of the main indications for growth hormone therapy. One characteristic of this disease is bone age delay in relation to the chronological age. Pituitary dysfunction negatively affects the growth and development of the jaws and teeth of the child.

Dynamic changes in morphometric analysis in patients following Class III bimaxillary surgery.

Background: Prognathism of the mandible is a skeletal Class III abnormality, caused either by excessive forward growth of the mandible or maxillary underdevelopment.

Objectives: The aim of the study was to assess dynamic changes in morphometric analysis on subjects presenting with Class III malocclusions before orthodontic treatment, before bimaxillary surgery and after surgery.

Material And Methods: The sample consisted of 30 non-growing patients, at the age of 18 to 30, treated with mandibular set-back sagittal split osteotomy and maxillary Le Fort I advancement.
