  • Title: [The comparative characteristics of the parameters of the temporomandibular joint and skull in children with bite anomalies].
    Author: Kamysheva LI, Anikienko AA.
    Journal: Stomatologiia (Mosk); 1992; (2):78-81. PubMed ID: 1412558.
    Abstract:
    The authors compare the mean values of 5 parameters of the temporomandibular joint and 19 skull parameters, analyzing 155 tomograms of the joint and 246 teleroentgenograms of the head of children with sagittal and vertical occlusion abnormalities during change of teeth and in permanent occlusion. This comparison has revealed a relationship between the parameters of the temporomandibular joint and the skull. The correlations were the most marked between the height of the mandibular head, height of the mandibular fossa, on the one hand, and anterosuperior and total posterior heights of the face, length of mandibular body and height of its branch, on the other hand. The longitudinal size of the mandibular head corresponded to the longitudinal size of the base of the skull, maxilla, and the angle of the skull base inclination. Complete harmony between the longitudinal and vertical sizes of the skull is observed after change of teeth.
