Intervention of the occlusion relations in the appearance of the modifications in sagittal and transversal plan in the anomalies of the class III angle.

During the development of the neuronic and visceral cranium, an important number of factors, not only genetic, but also functional, led to the apparition of some different aspects of growing at the level of each section: the basis of the cranium, the basis of the maxillary, dental alveolus, dental arch. All these "aggravating" or "compensatory" changes are added to the level of the occlusion plan, leading to the establishment of the occlusion relations in the three plans. From now on, the occlusion will directly influence the development at the level of the above-described sections.

Specific morphological aspects of the teeth and alveolar bone in Class II/2 malocclusion.

In the genesis of dental-maxillary anomalies both morphologic factors (of proven genetic origin) and functional factors (as added ethio-pathogenic elements) are incriminated. From this point of view, Class II/2 malocclusion, presents two morphologic factors whose genetic origin is certain and upon which functional factors have minor influence. These are: the morphology of the teeth and alveolar process in the anterior region of the maxilla and the type of rotation.

[Oral appliances in the treatment of respiratory disturbances in sleep--from goals to outcomes].

Purpose: To synthetically present the current state of knowledge regarding the use of oral devices for the treatment of sleep breathing disorders, according to the data provided by the specialised literature references.

Material And Methods: A MEDLINE search was performed, alongside with a hand search of periodicals in the field.

Results: 172 articles were identified, out of which 86 for pneumologists, 7 for otorhinolaryngologists and 79 for dentists.

The Romanian need of postgraduate specialization in dentistry considering the integration to the European Union.

Once that Romania became part of the European Union, conditions regarding the activity in dentistry changed, and open borders are now a fact that we have to accept. The Romanian activity in dentistry developed a lot after the 1990. being a result of private dental practice--which covers over 98% and also of material resources of patients that were asking for more performing dental treatments.
