ABSTRACT

The abnormal growth of the craniofacial bone leads to skeletal and dental defects, which result in the presence of malocclusions. Not all causes of malocclusion have been explained. In the development of skeletal abnormalities, attention is paid to general deficiencies, including of vitamin D3 (VD3), which causes rickets. Its chronic deficiency may contribute to skeletal malocclusion. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of VD3 deficiency on the development of malocclusions. The examination consisted of a medical interview, oral examination, an alginate impression and radiological imaging, orthodontic assessment, and taking a venous blood sample for VD3 level testing. In about 42.1% of patients, the presence of a skeletal defect was found, and in 46.5% of patients, dentoalveolar malocclusion. The most common defect was transverse constriction of the maxilla with a narrow upper arch (30.7%). The concentration of vitamin 25 (OH) D in the study group was on average 23.6 ± 10.5 (ng/mL). VD3 deficiency was found in 86 subjects (75.4%). Our research showed that VD3 deficiency could be one of an important factor influencing maxillary development. Patients had a greater risk of a narrowed upper arch (OR = 4.94), crowding (OR = 4.94) and crossbite (OR = 6.16). Thus, there was a link between the deficiency of this hormone and the underdevelopment of the maxilla.

ABSTRACT

The content of microelements in blood corpuscles and in serum of children was defined by atomic-absorption method. Deficiency of essential microelements (iodine, copper, nickel) was established and the content of selenium and zinc in the majority of the surveyed children was raised.

ABSTRACT

UNLABELLED: OPTIMIZED HEMODILUTION: To avoid blood transfusions, the method of optimized hemodilution (OHD) was developed. OHD consists of preoperative hypervolemic hemodilution with 500 ml hydroxyethyl starch (HES) and consecutive volume replacement with HES in the case of intraoperative intravasal fluid loss. This study verifies the efficacy of OHD. RESULTS: Mono- and bimaxillary operations (n = 213) performed between January 1995 and May 1999 were evaluated retrospectively with respect to reduction of blood transfusions due to application of OHD. The average blood loss in the OHD group (n = 127) was 593 ml, and no blood transfusion was required. In contrast, the control group (n = 86) showed an average blood loss of 738 ml, and 15% of these patients (n = 13) required transfusion of a total of 18 blood units. Based on our results, provision of autologous blood is only necessary for patients who do not receive OHD. The costs of fluid replacement and transfusion are increased by a factor of 5.7 when OHD is not used. DISCUSSION: OHD should be preferably used in cases of elective surgery on patients with good cardiopulmonary health. It is an easy to handle infusion regimen, which does not require additional monitoring, has no risk of infection, and results in a significant cost reduction.

ABSTRACT

Bartter's syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by severe hypokalemic alkalosis, marked elevation in plasma renin activity, pressor insensitivity to angiotensin II, and normal or low values of plasma sodium, plasma chloride, and blood pressure. Many of the clinical features and biochemical abnormalities appear to be secondary to chronic hypokalemia. We managed a 22-yr-old man requiring orthognathic surgery for correction of facial asymmetry under general anesthesia.

ABSTRACT

Chewing forces were registered and compared in three subjects under normal conditions as well as in presence of occlusal interferences, and under stress. Biting force, blood pressure, and concentration of blood catecholamines were measured. Psychic stress was induced by demanding reactions on a test machine. In the presence of occlusal interferences, no significant increase in biting force was recorded. However, the biochemical analysis documented that biting forces appeared to be no longer under local control, but, increased up to 600% when the level of stress was raised. This study confirms the importance of stress as an etiologic factor in masticatory dysfunction.

ABSTRACT

We have compared 10 occlusal traits in 358 monozygous and dizygous twin pairs in 4 different samples and estimated genetic variances for these features. Variable and frequently nonsignificant genetic variance was noted across samples for incisal overbite and overjet, sagittal molar relationship, posterior crossbite, and rotations and displacements of anterior teeth. Heritability estimates (when appropriately calculated) were low in magnitude (0-40%) and erratic, emphasizing the importance of environmental influences on occlusal variation and the variability of apparent genetic determinants with respect to the environment or population in which they are measured.
