Abstract

Good quantity and quality of bones are keys to the success of prosthodontic treatment. The quantity of bones is showed by the height of mandibular residual ridge, whereas the quality of bones is indicated by the bone density.The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the age, the bone density, and the height of the mandibular residual ridge. The observation is carried out to six edentulous menopausal women. The height of mandibular residual ridge and the mandibular bone density are measured by using CBCT-3D (Cone Beam Computed Tomography-3 Dimension). Pearson analysis of bivariate correlation is used to determine the relation between variables. As a result, there is a strong correlation between the increased of the age and the decrease of mandibular bone density (r=-0.922 with α=0.009). The study also shows a significant correlation between the decrease of the height of mandibular residual ridge and the decrease of the mandibular bone density (r=0.815 with α=0.048) and between the decrease of the height of mandibular residual ridge and the increase of the age (r=-0.89 with α=0.017).To summarize, the decrease of the height of mandibular residual ridge in this study correlates with the decrease of the mandibular bone density and the age.

Abstract

Introduction: Infants with complete cleft lip and palate (CLP) exhibit asymmetrical characteristic of nasal deformation. Pre-surgical treatment by making presurgical nasalveolar molding (PNAM) with a nasal stent aims to assist the sucking and swallowing function of infants with CLP as well as passively moving separated alveolar segments and correcting nasal deformities in order to obtain more functional and aesthetically satisfactory surgical results. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of PNAM insertion with a nasal stent on the correction of nasal symmetry in infants with complete unilateral cleft lip and palate. Methods: This research is a quasi experimental with one-group pre-treatment and post-treatment design. Five unilateral complete CLP infants were subjected to anthropometric measurements of alar displacement, columella height, nostril width nostril height and nostril axis inclination to obtain anthropometric ratios on the cleft and non-cleft sides with three-dimensional surface scanning before (T1) and after (T2) insertion of PNAM with nasal stent. Results: Analysis of the students' t-test showed a significant (p-value 0.05) between T1 and T2 in four anthropometric-ratio. Insertion of PNAM with nasal stent has resulted symmetrical nasal morphology of infants with complete unilateral CLP pre labioplasty with an increased ratio of columella height, nostril width, nostril height and nostril axis inclination between the cleft and non-cleft sides. Conclusion: Installation of PNAM with nasal stent can correct pre-labioplasty nasal symmetry.
