F-H to AB plane angle (FABA) for assessment of anteroposterior jaw relationships.

The horizontal relationship of the jaws has been defined as the angles or distances between the reference planes of the craniofacial complex and points A and B, which are representative of the anterior limits of the denture bases. The aims of this study were (1) to examine statistically and geometrically the different cephalometric measurements which are used to indicate the A-P jaw relationship, and (2) to provide a more reliable parameter by means of comparative cephalometric analyses with various clinical examples. The APDI and Wits appraisal are parameters for evaluating the anteroposterior relationship of the dentition rather than the jaws. FH to AB plane angle (FABA) may provide not only a reliable cephalometric measurement of the anteroposterior relationship of the jaws but also a clue to the facial profile.

[Soft X-ray study on fetal cranio-facial growth and development].

This study was undertaken to ascertain the changes of fetuses in craniofacial dimension and to evaluate the growth and development during fetal period. Lateral cephalograms by soft X-ray were taken from 64 fetuses and were measured in linear and angular aspects. The following conclusions were obtained. 1. The linear increase rates of anterior cranial base length exceeded those of the posterior cranial base length. 2. Growth increments on horizontal dimension were greater than vertical dimension in the maxilla. 3. The cranial base angle was almost constant after fetal period 13 weeks with the average angle of 130 degrees. 4. The angle between anterior cranial base and palatal plane was decreased gently during fetal period.

[Case report of orthodontic approach to temporomandibular disorders].

The purpose of the present article is to describe a case in which malocclusion patient accompanied with temporomandibular disorders was treated with the fixed appliance and Gnathological Tooth Positioner. Patient, a girl aged 16 years 9 months, had a skeletal Class III malocclusion with mandibular protrusion and anterior edge to edge bite. Centric Relation Splint was made to alleviate the acute symptoms and Gnathological Tooth positioner at the finishing stage of fixed appliance was applied to achieve the functional occlusion. After 12 months of active treatment, the patient gained a normal overbite-overjet relationship. Observation after 2 years out of retention revealed a stable occlusion.
