Functional appliances were developed to correct mainly Class II malocclusions in growing children but the influence of those appliances on craniofacial growth is still controversial, even when used in combinations with headgear. The aim of this retrospective study was to investigate skeletal, dental and tegumental cephalometric modifications induced by Teuscher activator. This study was accomplished in a mixed ...

Objectives: Orthodontic diagnosis and treatment related to the orthopaedic position of centric relation (CR) requires a comprehensive study of the condylar position (Roth, 1981; Cordray, 2006). According to the craniofacial architecture, the hyperdivergent facial type seems to be more prone to condyle displacement than other facial groups. Therefore, it was put into hypothesis that it is on the hyperdivergent ...
This work intended to investigate centric slide (CS) on different facial skeletal groups. With this aim in mind, three different groups hyperdivergent, hipodivergent and an intermediate one were studied and compared. The tests performed allowed to identify a statistically more significant vertical displacement in hyperdivergent group while the sagittal displacement was more pronounced in hypodivergent group wit...
