3-D Evaluation Of Dental Arches in syndromic craniosynostosis for better prognosis: IJD
A study has been published in the International Journal Of Dentistry establishing the main characteristic features of dental arches in individuals suffering from a condition known as craniosynostosis, which is characterized by the early closure of the craniomaxillary sutures. It may or may not be associated with the syndromes, i.e., Crouzon Syndrome & Apert Syndrome. Previous studies revealed that these syndromes are included in the autosomal dominant congenital anomalies occurring due to mutations in the genes, i.e., FRFR2/TWIST, present in the fibroblast growth factor receptor.
The presence of either or both the syndromes and craniosynostosis is noted to be syndromic craniosynostosis- with symptoms including midfacial retrusion, exorbitism, orbital anomalies, respiratory issues, anomalies associated with the shape of cranial bone & its extremities.
The current research compares the interdental dimensions between individuals with Apert (AS) & Crouzon Syndromes (CS) and non-syndromic individuals. It was carried out to find out the preventive & curative measures (Rehabilitative treatment) of craniofacial anomalies that included patients of both genders aged between 5-26 years. The study included two groups-the first group involved 34 patients with the respective syndromes ( AS - 18 & CS - 16) & the second group included non-syndromic individuals. Measurements of perimeter, length, intercanine & intermolar distances of the upper & lower arches, overjet, overbite, and molar relationship were recorded
