A recent study conducted by a researcher at Tel Aviv University explores the significance of skeletal transverse dimension (STD) in orthodontic therapy and its impact on occlusal relationships. The study emphasizes the importance of incorporating skeletal transverse diagnostics into routine orthodontic assessments to achieve optimal occlusal relationships and minimize negative consequences on dentition, periodontium, and joints. The findings reveal that overlooking transverse dimension issues can lead to complications such as increased masticatory muscle activity, occlusal interferences, and an elevated risk of gingival recession. Surgically assisted maxillary expansion (SARME) is recommended over orthopedic maxillary expansion (OME) for addressing skeletal transverse deficiencies. The study also mentions the use of the Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse model for studying complex traits related to transverse skeletal issues in orthodontics. [Extracted from the article] |
