Tooth Crown Morphology in Turner and Klinefelter Syndrome Individuals from a Croatian Sample.

Objective: Turner syndrome (TS) and Klinefelter syndrome (KS) represent the two most common X chromosome aneuploidies, each associated with systemic disruptions to growth and development. Effects of these conditions on tooth crown morphology are explored in a sample of Croatian individuals.

Materials And Methods: The sample included 57 TS, 37 KS and 88 control individuals.

Differences in the Eruption Angle of Palatally Displaced Canines in Klinefelter Syndrome: a Retrospective Study on Panoramic Radiographs.

Objective: To investigate the eruption angle of maxillary canine in patients with Klinefelter syndrome (KS) in which high prevalence of palatally displaced canine anomaly (PDC) has been found by clinical assessment.

Subjects And Methods: The sample consisted of 37 KS males aged 20-34 years (mean 27 years) and the control group which consisted of 78 healthy males aged 20-27 years (mean 23 years). A pioneer method was used to measure the eruption angle.

Growth hormone positive effects on craniofacial complex in Turner syndrome.

Objective: Turner syndrome occurs in phenotypic females with complete or partial absence of X chromosome. The leading symptom is short stature, while numerous but mild stigmata manifest in the craniofacial region. These patients are commonly treated with growth hormone to improve their final height.

[Croatian Medical Association--Branch Zagreb].

The available literature shows us that "Druztvo ljeciteljah u Zagrebus (the Society of Healers in Zagreb) was founded as far back as the year 1845 by a total of thirteen members. This data allows us to follow the role of doctors and health workers in Zagreb through their everyday profession, research, organizational and social work as well as management through a period of over one hundred to seventy years. The Branch Zagreb was active before the official establishment of subsidiaries of CMA which is evident from the minutes of the regular annual assembly of the Croatian Medical Association on 21 March 1948.

Characteristics of the craniofacial complex in Turner syndrome.

Objective: To identify characteristics of the craniofacial complex in Turner syndrome (TS) patients from Croatian population, to investigate the interrelationship among craniofacial variables and to assess their correlation with age.

Design: Cephalometric analysis was carried out on lateral cephalograms of 36 TS patients, aged 10-33 years. Cephalograms of 72 age-matched healthy females with class I occlusion served as control.
