OBJECTIVE:We want to select the prime diagnostic factors of anterior corssibe which cna be used to identify the dental and skeletal anterior crossbite. METHODS: From 85 anterior crossbite patients in early permanent dentistion with accurate diagnosis we selected 70 cases to get the prime diagnostic factors by using stepwise discriminant analysis. They were checked by the other 15 cases, We could assess the effects of the factors by calculating their contribution rates. RESULTS: We get six factors: CoGn,AOBO,S'-Ptm',ANB,MPPP,Ramus Angle. CONCLUSION: They include the most information we need to indentify the dental or skeletal anterior crossbite.

: Obstructive sleep apnea is a sleep-related breathing disorder associated with craniofacial morphology and dental arches. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between obstructive sleep apnea and the morphometry of dental arches and upper airways. : Forty patients were enrolled in the study, and the polysomnographic parameters evaluated were the apnea hypopnea index (AHI) and the oxygen desaturation index (ODI).

: The aim of this prospective study was to assess the effects of rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and/or face mask (FM) treatments on the pharyngeal airway in patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion caused by maxillary deficiency. This study utilized cone beam computed tomography (CIBT) for a three-dimensional (3D) analysis of airway changes, comparing the results with those of a control group consisting of untreated skeletal Class III patients. : The study included 60 participants (34 boys, 26 girls) aged 9 to 14 years, all diagnosed with skeletal Class III malocclusion due to maxillary underdevelopment.

: Oral breathing is a common condition, particularly in children, and it is associated with significant changes in craniofacial development, dentomaxillary anomalies, and overall health. Despite extensive research, the role of oral breathing in the development of malocclusion remains controversial, with debates on whether it is a causative factor or a secondary adaptation to existing craniofacial issues. : This narrative review synthesizes studies published in the last 15 years, focusing on the impact of oral breathing on dentofacial development and mandibular posture.

Objective: To establish a similarity measurement model for patients with dentofacial deformity based on 3D craniofacial features and to validate the similarity results with quantifying subjective expert scoring.
Methods: In the study, 52 cases of patients with skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusions who underwent bimaxillary surgery and preoperative orthodontic treatment at Peking University School and Hospital of Stomatology from January 2020 to December 2022, including 26 males and 26 females, were selected and divided into 2 groups by sex. One patient in each group was randomly selected as a reference sample, and the others were set as test samples.

The intricate relationship between malocclusions and speech sound disorders (SSDs) is yet to be fully understood. This is particularly true for pediatric patients during the deciduous and mixed dentition stages. Employing a methodical scoping review approach, this study scrutinizes the recent literature to elucidate how these dental misalignments impact speech articulation and phonetic clarity.
