Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) position and shape between skeletal Class I subjects with different degrees of deep overbite or open bite and unaffected peers. METHODS Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) images of 90 participants, equally divided into deep bite, open bite, and control groups (DBG, OBG, and CG, respectively), were analyzed. The DBG and OBG were further subdivided into three subgroups based on the severity. Linear and angular measurements were used to determine the positional and morphological characteristics of the TMJ. RESULTS DBG showed significantly larger superior joint space, anterior inclination of the condyle, and articular eminence inclination than CG and OBG. The severity of deep bite and open bite significantly influenced the TMJ position and morphology. CONCLUSION In severe deep overbite and open bite cases, there were considerable alterations in TMJ components, most likely as a result of functional demands.

Abstract
Increased mechanical loading of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is often connected with the onset and progression of temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD). The potential role of occlusal factors and sleep bruxism in the onset of TMD are a highly debated topic in literature, but ethical considerations limit in vivo examinations of this problem. The study aims to use an innovative in silico modeling approach to thoroughly investigate the connection between morphological parameters, bruxing direction and TMJ stress. A forward-dynamics tracking approach was used to simulate laterotrusive and mediotrusive tooth grinding for 3 tooth positions, 5 lateral inclination angles, 5 sagittal tilt angles and 3 force levels, giving a total of 450 simulations. Muscle activation patterns, TMJ disc von Mises stress as well as correlations between mean muscle activations and TMJ disc stress are reported. Computed muscle activation patterns agree well with previous literature. The results suggest that tooth inclination and grinding position, to a smaller degree, have an effect on TMJ loading. Mediotrusive bruxing computed higher loads compared to laterotrusive simulations. The strongest correlation was found for TMJ stress and mean activation of the superficial masseter. Overall, our results provide in silico evidence that TMJ disc stress is related to tooth morphology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare the age-related positional and morphological characteristics of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) between individuals with anterior openbite or crossbite and controls. METHODS This multi-cross-sectional comparative study analysed cone-beam computed tomography images of 750 participants, equally divided into the openbite, crossbite, and control groups (OBG, CBG, and CG, respectively). Each group was further divided into five subgroups (8-11 years, 12-15 years, 16-19 years, 20-24 years, and 25-30 years). Measurements of the TMJ included the position of the condyles in their respective fossae and morphology of the condyles and fossae. Data were submitted to statistical analysis. The study adhered to the STROBE Statement checklist for reporting of cross-sectional studies. RESULTS Condyles were positioned more posteriorly with increasing age in all groups, and the condylar position was more posterior in the OBG than in the CBG. The articular eminence inclination increased with age in all the groups. There were significant differences in the articular eminence inclination among the three major groups at the age of > 15 years, and the condylar path was flatter in the CBG than in the OBG. CONCLUSIONS Age-related morphological and positional characteristics of the TMJ differed considerably among OBG, CBG and CG. Contrary to CBG, OBG was found to have relatively posterior condylar position and steeper condylar path.

Abstract
Sheds new light on the important potential connection between tooth grinding and temporomandibular joint loading Demonstrates a larger effect of grinding inclination than grinding position on TMJ loading Creates a novel computer simulation of TMJ disc stress during dynamic tooth grinding tasks Uses state-of-the-art in silico methods for a highly multidisciplinary investigation, which is not feasible in vivo Presents a tracking simulation approach to work around the highly complicated recording of masticatory muscle EMG acquisition
Introduction Functional impairment of the masticatory region can have significant consequences that range from a loss of quality of life to severe health issues. Increased temporomandibular joint loading is often connected with temporomandibular disorders, but the effect of morphological factors on joint loading is a heavily discussed topic. Due to the small size and complex structure of the masticatory region in vivo investigations of these connections are difficult to perform. Objectives We propose a novel in silico approach for the investigation of the effect of wear facet inclination and position on TMJ stress. Methods We use a forward-dynamics tracking approach to simulate lateral bruxing on the canine and first molar using 6 different inclinations, resulting in a total of 12 simulated cases. By using a computational model, we control a single variable without interfering with the system. Muscle activation pattern, maximum bruxing force as well as TMJ disc stress are reported for all simulations. Results Muscle activation patterns and bruxing forces agree well with previously reported EMG findings and in vivo force measurements. The simulation results show that an increase in inclination leads to a decrease in TMJ loading. Wear facet position seems to play a smaller role with regard to bruxing force but might be more relevant for TMJ loading. Conclusion Together these results suggest a possible effect of tooth morphology on TMJ loading during bruxism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A functional integration between the jaw and neck regions during purposive jaw movements is well described in adults, but there is a lack of knowledge of such integration during jaw function in children. OBJECTIVES To determine the movement integration between the jaw and neck during jaw motor tasks in 6-year-olds, whether there is a difference between children and adults. METHODS Jaw and neck movements were recorded with an optoelectronic 3D system in 25 healthy 6-year-olds (12 girls, 13 boys) and 24 healthy adults (12 women, 12 men) during paced jaw opening-closing and self-paced gum chewing. Jaw and neck movement amplitudes, intra-individual variation in movement amplitude, ratio between neck-jaw movement amplitudes and movement cycle time were analysed. Differences between children and adults were evaluated with Mann-Whitney U test for independent samples. RESULTS Compared to adults, 6-year-old children showed larger neck movement amplitudes (P = .008) during chewing, higher intra-individual variability in amplitudes of jaw (P = .008) and neck (P = .001) movements, higher ratio between neck-jaw movement amplitudes for jaw opening-closing (P = .026) and chewing (P = .003), and longer jaw movement cycle time (P ≤ .0001) during the jaw opening-closing task. CONCLUSION Despite integrated jaw-neck movements in 6-year-old children, the movement pattern differs from that of adults and may be interpreted as an immature programming of jaw-neck motor behaviour. The well-integrated movements observed in adults most likely develop over years, perhaps into adolescence, and needs further research including well-controlled longitudinal studies to map this development in order to provide appropriate age-related clinical treatment for functional disorders.

Abstract
Anterior crossbite is relatively a common presentation in the mixed dentition stage. If left untreated, it can lead to a host of problems and may complicate future orthodontic treatment. One of the major difficulties in performing anterior crossbite correction in young children is treatment compliance. In most cases, poor compliance is due to the unacceptability of the removable appliance used. This article describes three cases of successful correction of anterior crossbite of patients in mixed dentition using short-span wire-fixed orthodontic appliances. This sectional appliance provides an alternative method of correcting anterior crossbite of dental origin and offers many advantages compared to the use of removable appliances.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to assess the correlation between the morphology of the dental arches (DAs) of patients with normal occlusion and of the articular eminence (AE) by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). STUDY DESIGN CBCT scans of 60 patients were evaluated in terms of height and inclinations (angles α, β, and δ) of the AE. DAs were classified according to their shapes (tapered, square, ovoid), and their perimeters, widths, and depths were measured. One-way analysis of variance, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and simple and multivariate linear regression models were used for the calculations. RESULTS The ovoid arch was the most predominant shape (n = 66/120). Inclination of the AE (angle β) had the greatest difference between DA shapes, with this angle usually being greater in the ovoid arch and smaller in the square arch (P < .05). The height of the AE presented greater correlation with DA measurements, with tapered arches having the most significant correlations (P < .05). DA depth had no influence on AE measurements (P > .05). The perimeter and width of the DAs had some influence (P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Correlations were found between the DA and AE morphologies. The correlations should be taken into consideration, although the results do not prove absolute association between the variables. Whenever possible, the morphologic features of DAs should be preserved to avoid possible changes in AE.

Abstract
Background This study aimed to investigate and compare the positions and dimensions of the temporomandibular joint and its components, respectively, in patients with Class II division 1 and division 2 malocclusions. Material and Methods Computed tomography images of 14 patients with Class II division 1 and 14 patients with Class II division 2 malocclusion were included with a mean age of 11.4 ± 1.2 years. The following temporomandibular joint measurements were made with OsiriX medical imaging software program. From the sagittal images, the anterior, superior, and posterior joint spaces and the mandibular fossa depths were measured. From the axial images, the greatest anteroposterior and mediolateral diameters of the mandibular condyles, angles between the long axis of the mandibular condyle and midsagittal plane, and vertical distances from the geometric centers of the condyles to midsagittal plane were measured. The independent samples t-test was used for comparing the measurements between the two sides and between the Class II division 1 and 2 groups. Results No statistically significant differences were observed between the right and left temporomandibular joints; therefore, the data were pooled. There were statistically significant differences between the Class II division 1 and 2 groups with regard to mandibular fossa depth and anterior joint space measurements. Conclusions In Class II patients, the right and left temporomandibular joints were symmetrical. In the Class II division 1 group, the anterior joint space was wider than that in Class II division 2 group, and the mandibular fossa was deeper and wider in the Class II division 1 group. Key words:Temporomandibular joint, Class II malocclusion, Cone beam computed tomography.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to test the possible differences in centric slide values between different Angle's classes of occlusion. The study included 98 participants divided into four groups: Angle's class I, Angle's class II, subdivision 1, Angle's class II, subdivision 2 and Angle's class III. All recordings were obtained using an ultrasound jaw tracking device with six degrees of freedom. The distance between the maximum intercuspation (reference position) and the centric occlusion was recorded at the condylar level. Anteroposterior, superoinferior and transversal distance of the centric slide were calculated for each participant, and the data were statistically analyzed (analysis of variance and Newman-Keuls post hoc test). No statistically significant difference was found in the anteroposterior and transversal distance of the centric slide between tested groups, while Angle's class II, subdivision 2 showed smaller vertical amount of the centric slide compared to Angle's class I and class II, subdivision 1. None of the 98 participants showed coincidence of centric occlusion and maximum intercuspation. Our results suggest that coincidence of the maximum intercuspation with the centric occlusion should not be expected. Smaller extent of the vertical distance of the centric slide could be morphological and a functional expression characteristic of the Angle's class II, subdivision 2.
