    Bimaxillary orthognathic surgery in a patient with long face: a case report.
    (1999) Ataoglu H.; Uçkan S.; Karaman A.I.; Uyar Y.
    The primary characteristics of long face patients are gummy smile and/or anterior open bite. Consequently, correction of esthetic and functional problems are especially important for long face patients. Since orthodontic therapy alone is not sufficient to solve the problem, orthognathic surgical approach is indicated for these patients. In this report, orthognathic surgical therapy of a severe long face patient with similar findings was presented. Following clinical and cephalometric examination and preoperative orthodontic therapy, a Le Fort I osteotomy, a bilateral sagittal split osteotomy, and vertical and horizontal reduction genioplasties were performed. Alternative surgical therapies, complications, and the effects on the upper respiratory tract are also discussed.

    Multidisciplinary treatment in non-syndromic cleft lip and palate patients: 2 case reports
    (Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Dentistry, 2018) Sayin Ozel G.; Inan O.; Dolanmaz D.; Karaman A.I.
    Objective: It is intended in this case report to explain the multidisciplinary treatment of 2 non-syndromic cleft lip and palate patients with different approaches, the treatment phases of prosthetic rehabilitation and the results obtained. Case Reports:15-year-old unilateral cleft lip and palate patient and 25-year-old bilateral cleft lip and palate patient was admitted to our clinic with the functional and aesthetic complaints. Orthodontic, surgical and prosthetic treatments were applied Results: With multidisciplinary treatments aesthetic and functional solutions were provided. Aesthetic and functional results were obtained for both cases with fixed restorations. The treatments protocols had no complications. The outcomes were of high quality and brought satisfaction to the patients. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary treatment should be considered in cleft lip and palate patients in order to be able to fully ensure speech and hearing, continuation of occlusion and maxillofacial growth in the normal course and the improvement of physical appearance and psychological state. However, different treatment plans should be considered in its different timing for each case. © 2018 Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Dentistry.

    The use of parental data to evaluate soft tissues in an Anatolian Turkish population according to Holdaway soft tissue norms
    (Mosby Inc., 2006) Gelgör I.E.; Karaman A.I.; Zekiç E.
    Introduction: The relative influence of genetic and environmental factors in the etiology of malocclusion has long been a matter for discussion. The aim of this study was to compare the soft tissue structures of parents and their prepubertal, pubertal, and postpubertal offspring according to the Holdaway soft tissue norms to determine the similarity among them. Differences related to age and sex between the parents and offspring were also evaluated. Methods: Lateral cephalometric radiographs were used to determine the similarities in soft tissue structures in 120 families, which were divided into prepubertal (n = 40), pubertal (n = 40), and postpubertal (n = 40) groups according to the children's skeletal ages. A total of 12 variables (2 angular and 10 linear) were measured according to Holdaway's soft tissue analysis. Pairs were formed between family members (mother to son, mother to daughter, father to son, father to daughter, midparent (mean of the father's and mother's values) to son, and midparent to daughter) in each group. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis were performed. Results: Statistically significant correlations between parents and their offspring were found. The parental data showed that a mother's genetic influence on her child's soft tissues was greater than the father's. Moreover, it was found that daughters had greater genetic influences from their parents than did sons. As age increased, the similarity was greater. Soft tissue facial angle (?: 0.671), soft tissue chin thickness (?: 0.549), and basic upper lip thickness (?: 0.537) were the most similar variables between parents and their offspring. Conclusions: A few selected cephalometric measurements of the parents might furnish important data to the clinician in predicting a child's facial growth characteristics and aging process.
