[Condylar morphology with different vertical facial types of skeletal III malocclusions in mixed dentition]
1Dept. of Orthodontics, College of Stomatology, The Fourth Military Medical University, Xi'an 710032, China.
Objective:
To study the difference of condylar morphology with different vertical facial types of skeletal III malocclusions in mixed dentition.
Methods:
Orthopantomograms of 60 children with different vertical facial types were retrospectively investigated by computerized cephalometric analysis. Condylar morphology was compared among different vertical facial type groups.
Results:
There was statistical difference in upper condylar height among groups, the height increased from high angle group, average angle group to low angle group. There was no significant difference in ramus height in the groups. There was statistical difference in the upper condylar height to the ramus height radio in different vertical facial type groups (P < 0.01). The ratio increased from high angle group, average angle group to low angle group. There was no significant difference in the condylar height to the condylar neck width ratio in the groups.
Conclusion:
In children of skeletal III malocclusions in mixed dentition with different vertical facial types, there are statistical differences in condylar morphology, which might be due to different growth of mandibular.

01:27Cranial Bones: Lateral View
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...
01:21Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.

In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
01:14Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
01:09Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
