Aim: To evaluate and compare the cortical bone density amongst skeletally Class I individuals with different facial forms using Cone Beam Computer Tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted using pre-treatment CBCT records of 45 patients, 15 each of hyperdivergent, normodivergent and hypodivergent facial pattern categories selected from the institutional archives. Median bone density was assessed in anterior and posterior sites of maxilla and mandible, followed by comparison of data between hypodivergent, normodiveregent and hyperdivergent subjects. The inter-group statistical comparison of continuous variables was done using Kruskal-Wallis H test. Intra-group statistical comparison of continuous variables was done using Mann-Whitney U test. Results: Median anterior bone density in maxilla and mandible were relatively similar across the 03 facial patterns (P>0.05). However, buccal cortical bone density was increased in normodivergent and hypodivergent subjects compared to hyperdivergent subjects, which was statistically significant (P<0.05). It was also noticed in this study that the density of left buccal region was higher when compared to right which was statistically significant (P<0.05), across 3 facial patterns. Conclusion: This study concludes that hyperdivergent subjects have relatively less dense bones in both maxilla and mandible as compared to other facial patterns. Clinically, it is advised to place wider diameter and increased length TADs in these subjects for better initial and long term stability. However, long term prospective studies with a larger sample size are required to validate the findings of these studies.Keywords

Introduction: It is imperative to have a sound knowledge of causes and various aspects of facial asymmetry. Objectives: To evaluate asymmetry in the lower third of face, correlate the asymmetry with morphological features of the mandible, to correlate the dental and skeletal asymmetry in the mandible and to determine a correlation between these parameters and skeletal asymmetry at point menton using CBCT. Methods: Pre-treatment records of 15 patients (07 males and 08 females, aged 16.93 ± 2.19 years) with asymmetry of lower third of face due to unknown aetiology and chin deviated to right (Group A, study group) were compared with 15 patients (07 males and 08 females, aged 16.12 ± 2.06 years) presenting with no gross facial asymmetry (Group B, control group). Multiplanar Reformation view of CBCT data in sagittal plane was used to assess condylar height, ramus length and mandibular body length in both groups. Results: The mean condylar heights on both sides were similar in Group B (P-value > 0.05). The condylar height on right side in Group A was smaller compared to the left side condyles in both groups (P-value < 0.001). No significant difference was observed in mean ramus and body length between the 02 groups (P-value > 0.05). The skeletal midline deviation was higher compared to the dental midline deviation towards right in Group A (P-value < 0.001). Conclusion: Condylar height is an important factor responsible for asymmetry of the lower third of the face and deviation of chin in adolescent patients with asymmetry of unknown aetiology.

Introduction: Nose holds an anatomically strategic position on face which influences the facial aesthetics and soft tissue profile of an individual, making it indispensable to understand the variations in nasal features and influence of different factors on it. Present study aims at assessing nasal tip projection and nasal tip rotation among patients with different sagittal skeletal relations and vertical facial patterns in Maharashtrian population using photographic analysis. Materials and Methods: Records of 410 patients with age ranging from 17 to 25 yrs were selected from the institutional archives; to assess the nasal projection and rotation. Data obtained was divided into groups depending on the type of sagittal skeletal relation and vertical facial pattern and subjected to the statistical analyses. Results: Nasal tip projection was greater among patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion (mean 0.39) as compared to other malocclusion types, but did not differ significantly (P-value>0.05). Nasal tip rotation was clockwise among patients with skeletal Class III malocclusion and anticlockwise in Class I and Class II malocclusion patients, which was statistically significant (P-value<0.05). Amongst the patients with different vertical facial pattern, no statistically significant result could be obtained for nasal tip projection and rotation. Conclusion: The result of the present study gives an insight about the nasal features prevalent among different types of malocclusion, thus assisting the clinician in treatment planning and achieving good facial aesthetics with pleasing soft tissue profileKeywords
