2. 11. Premature birth - studies on orthodontic treatment need, craniofacial morphology and function

   Author : Liselotte Paulsson-Björnsson; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

   Abstract : Få studier har utvärderat om det finns något samband mellan för tidig födsel och bettavvikelser eller behov av tandreglering. Dessutom har inga tidigare studier undersökt om för tidigt födda barn skiljer sig från barn födda efter fullgången graviditet avseende ansiktsmorfologi, huvudvärk och temporomanibular dysfunktion (TMD), dvs. READ MORE

4. 12. Orofacial function in children with speech sound disorders

   Author : Åsa Mogren; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Speech sound disorder (SSD) is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children and can have different aetiologies and outcome. Speech difficulties often co-exist with other disorders, such as motor difficulties and orofacial dysfunction. These co-existent difficulties may have the same biological background. READ MORE

5. 13. Masticatory function and temporomandibular disorders in patients with dentofacial deformities : studies before and after orthodontic and orthognathic treatment

   Author : Cecilia Abrahamsson; Malmö högskola; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; dentofacial deformities; orthognathic treatment; orthognathic surgery; orthodontics; stomathognathic physiology; temporomandibular disorders; masticatory function;

   Abstract : Ca 30 % av Sveriges befolkning genomgår någon gång i livet behandling med tandreglering. I de fall där bettavvikelsen är mer omfattande är enbart tandreglering inte tillräckligt för att uppnå ett bra bett. Istället kombinerar man tandregleringen med en kirurgisk förflyttning av käkarna s.k. READ MORE

   Abstract : Objectives: Study I: To evaluate the reliability and validity of different superimposition methods and to increase the precision with which craniofacial growth and treatment can be quantified. Study II: To explore the craniofacial changes that occur from early adolescence to late adulthood. READ MORE

7. 15. Cleft Size and Maxillary Arch Dimensions in Unilateral Cleft Lip and Palate and Cleft Palate

   Author : Erika Reiser; Anna Andlin-Sobocki; Valdemar Skoog; Bengt Gerdin; Arja Heliövaara; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Unilateral cleft lip and palate; cleft palate; cleft size; maxillary arch dimensions; crossbite; facial growth; nasal function; Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery; Käkkirurgi;

   Abstract : The wide variation in infant maxillary morphology and cleft size of children with unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) and isolated cleft palate (CP) raise concerns about their possible influences on treatment outcome. The studies in this thesis aimed to investigate the relation between cleft size in infancy and crossbite at 5 years of age (Paper I); the impact of primary surgery on cleft size and maxillary arch dimensions from infancy to 5 years of age (Paper II); associations between cleft size, maxillary arch dimensions and facial growth in both UCLP and CP children (Paper III); and, to evaluate the relation between infant cleft size and nasal airway size and function in adults treated for UCLP (Paper IV).
