Summary
This study found that 6.4% of dental patients had crossbite, a malocclusion affecting dental arch alignment. While horizontal growth patterns were more common in crossbite patients, the association was not statistically significant.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Dental Morphology
Background:
- Crossbite is a malocclusion characterized by lateral dental arch mismatch.
- The relationship between crossbite and skeletal growth patterns requires further investigation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To determine the prevalence of crossbite in patients at a private dental hospital.
- To evaluate the association between crossbite and skeletal growth patterns.
Main Methods:
- Data were extracted from dental archiving software and compiled in Excel.
- Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 23.
- Findings were interpreted using graphs and tables.
Main Results:
- The prevalence of crossbite was found to be 6.4%.
- Subjects with a horizontal growth pattern showed a tendency towards crossbite, though not statistically significant (P=0.07).
- No statistically significant association was found between different skeletal growth patterns and crossbite.
Conclusions:
- Crossbite affects a notable percentage of the studied dental patient population.
- While a trend exists, a definitive statistical link between horizontal skeletal growth patterns and crossbite was not established in this cohort.

The upper and lower limb initially develops as a small bulge called a limb bud, which appears on the lateral side of the early embryo. The upper limb bud appears near the end of the fourth week of development, with the lower limb bud appearing shortly after.
Initially, the limb buds consist of a core of mesenchyme covered by a layer of ectoderm. The ectoderm at the end of the limb bud thickens to form a narrow crest called the apical ectodermal ridge. This ridge stimulates the underlying...

01:22Sutures of the Skull
7.2K
The human skull is composed of several bones that come together to protect the brain and support the structures of the face. The junctions where these bones meet are called sutures.
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
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...

01:29Bone Formation by Intramembranous Ossification
6.7K
Intramembranous ossification is one of the two processes involved in the development of bones within an embryo. The flat bones of the face, most of the cranial bones, and the clavicles are formed via this process. During intramembranous ossification, the bones develop directly from sheets of undifferentiated mesenchymal connective tissue.
The process begins when mesenchymal cells in the embryonic skeleton gather together and differentiate into osteogenic cells, which then develop into ...
