Longitudinal changes of the natural craniofacial and dentoalveolar complex in the fourth decade of life.

Introduction: This study aimed to longitudinally examine the changes in craniofacial and dentoalveolar regions during the third and fourth decades of life.

Methods: The data from this study constitute the cephalometric films and plaster models of 8 female and 8 male dental students or dentists. The mean chronological ages of the subjects at the first observation period was 22.

The impact of orthognathic surgery on quality of life for class III dentofacial deformities.

In this study, we aim to evaluate the quality of life in patients with Class III deformities after orthognathic surgery. A total of the 40 patients (26 female and 14 male) were included. The mean age of the patients was 24.

Long-term evaluation of masseter muscle activity, dimensions, and elasticity after orthognathic surgery in skeletal class III patients.

Objective: To evaluate changes in the masseter muscle after orthognathic surgery using electromyography (EMG), ultrasonography (US), and ultrasound elastography (USE) in individuals with skeletal class III anomaly over long-term follow-up and compare with a control group.

Materials And Methods: The study group included 29 patients with class III dentofacial deformities scheduled to undergo orthodontic treatment and orthognathic surgery. The control group included 20 individuals with dental class I occlusion.

Anterior Tooth Size Discrepancy in Class III Surgical Patients.

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to specify whether there are mesiodistal tooth size discrepancies in the anterior region in patients with dentoskeletal Class III malocclusion who underwent orthognathic surgery and orthodontic treatment and to assess the relationship between anterior Bolton ratio and dentoskeletal cephalometric measurements.

Methods: The diagnostic dental casts and lateral cephalometric radiographs of 113 nongrowing patients (54 females and 59 males; mean age: 19.96 ± 4.
