[Evolution of the convexity of tegumental profile during mixed dentition].

More and more in the past years the orthodontist has started to be interested in having his patient at the end of the treatment not only with a perfect occlusion but also with a harmonious face. In this regard, a real asset is the facial profile angle (Milicescu), with a significant value in the treatment result by compensating other disorders or by being a disturbance factor even during a correct treatment. The information is still general, creating a harmonious or dys-harmonious face effect, relative independent of other angles. In order to appreciate the tegumental profile, we invite you to analyze the soft-tissue profile and the total facial profile (presented by Rakosi) applied to a Romanian research group considered to be relevant for the normal values. The tegumental facial profile convexity has been analyzed through a transversal study but also in dynamics, in a longitudinal study of five years corresponding to the mixed dentition period.
