Purpose: The objective of this Critically Appraised Topic was to determine the level of evidence relative to the usefulness of the Frankfort mandibular plane angle in prosthodontic treatment.
Materials And Methods: The Patient Intervention Comparison Outcome (PICO) mesh heading received zero PubMed references, as did Frankfort Mandibular Plane Angle (FMA) as a determinant for dental occlusion and Frankfort Mandibular Plane Angle as a determinant of the occlusal scheme. Frankfort Mandibular Plane Angle alone received 168 PubMed citations that highlighted 2 DiPietro articles and a third from the orthodontics literature which was a Randomized Controlled Trial not relevant to the PICO. Four others, three prosthodontic and one orthodontic publication, were related to the PICO. A Google search revealed one additional article, which was a narrative review.
Results: Nine articles were related to the search, 2 of which were clinical trials that revealed no evidence to support the use of FMA as a diagnostic test.
Conclusion: Based on the limited data presented above, there is a lack of evidence to support the use of FMA as a diagnostic procedure to predict outcomes, or dictate prosthodontic treatment.

Jaw Growth and Development in Class II Division I Malocclusion Children Using the Myobrace® Muscle Function Appliance.
Ann Ital Chir
December 2024
Department of Orthodontics, Dental Disease Prevention and Treatment Institute of Huangpu District, 200002 Shanghai, China.
Aim: Class II Division I malocclusion is common in pediatric orthodontics, and is often associated with malocclusion and poor muscle functionality. However, research on post-treatment changes in maxillomandibular dimensions, excluding normal development influences, is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of Myobrace® appliance and targeted muscle functional training on maxillomandibular dimensions in children with Class II Division I malocclusion, compared to directed oral muscle training alone.

Background: A specific pathological postural adaptation is suspected in patients exhibiting maxillo-mandibular deformity (MMD); however, none study reported a correlation between facial dimensions and posture. In this study, we hypothesized that pathological postural adaptations are related to long-face deformity and subsequent oral breathing in patients with MMD METHODS: Thirty patients with MMD and 20 healthy subjects. Breathing mode, postural alignment and cephalometry were analyzed through a biplanar X-ray (EOS imaging®) of the skeleton in an upright position, followed by three-dimensional reconstruction.

Department of Orthodontics, Beijing Stomatological Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing, 100050, China.
Aim: To determine whether three-dimensional measurements can assess symmetry and mandibular position with greater accuracy than traditional two-dimensional measurements.
Methods: Mimics 19 software was used for three-dimensional measurements of 20 adult female patients' cone-beam computed tomography with deep overbite before and after flat bite plate treatment. Differences in mandible position and bilateral symmetry were assessed using the paired t test.
Analysis of postsurgical relapse patterns in one-jaw surgery: skeletal factors and clustering analysis in patients with mandibular setback.

Department of Dentistry, SMG-SNU Boramae Medical Center, Seoul, Korea.
Objectives: To compare presurgical skeletal factors and postsurgical relapse patterns between more relapsed (MR) and less relapsed (LR) groups.
Materials And Methods: This study retrospectively examined patients who underwent mandibular setback surgery, classifying them into two groups based on the amount of relapse of the pogonion using K-means analysis. Comparisons were conducted by analyzing cephalometric radiographs presurgically (T0), at 1-month post-surgery (T1), and immediately after orthodontic treatment (T2).

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between vertical facial patterns and the structure of alveolar bone and teeth, which is important for effective orthodontic treatment planning.
- Researchers analyzed 300 cone-beam computed tomography scans from orthodontic patients, focusing on alveolar bone thickness and the crown and root dimensions of maxillary anterior teeth across different facial types.
- Results showed that short facial types had thicker alveolar bone compared to normal and long facial types, emphasizing the need to consider facial type during orthodontic planning.
