Background: The relationship between respiratory function and craniofacial morphology has garnered significant attention due to its implications for upper airway and stomatognathic development. Nasal breathing plays a key role in craniofacial growth and dental positioning. This study investigated upper airway morphology and volume differences among individuals with class I, II, and III skeletal anomalies. Methods: Ninety orthodontic patients’ CBCT scans were analyzed to assess the oropharynx and hypopharynx volumes. Skeletal diagnosis was established based on the cephalometric analysis. Results: A significant volume change in the oropharynx and pharynx was demonstrated when comparing class II with class III anomalies (p = 0.0414, p = 0.0313). The total volume of the pharynx was increased in class III anomalies. The area of the narrowest part of the pharynx (MIN-CSA) significantly decreased in classes I and II compared to class III (p = 0.0289, p = 0.0003). Patients with Angle class III anomalies exhibited higher values in the narrowest pharyngeal segment. Gender differences were significant in pharyngeal volumes and morphologies across malocclusion classes. Conclusions: The narrowest segment of the pharynx had the highest values in patients with Angle class III. The volume of the oropharynx was found to be greater in patients with Angle class III versus patients with Angle class II.

Dental agenesis is one of the most common developmental anomalies in humans and it is frequently associated with several other oral abnormalities. The present case describes non-familial agenesis of permanent teeth in a twenty-one-year-old boy with no apparent systemic abnormalities. The treatment included a personalized and interdisciplinary approach involving endodontics, orthodontics, implant-supported restorations and prosthetic treatments. The treatment plan was thoroughly elaborated using photographic analysis, study models, orthopantomogram, CBCT and cephalograms. Virtual smile design, diagnostic waxing and mock-ups previsualized the treatment objectives. The edentulous spaces were reconstructed by inserting dental implants and monolithic zirconia implant-supported restorations. The final results showed a highly esthetic and functional rehabilitation. Periodic check-ups have shown that the stability of the result is well maintained and that the implant-supported restorations are an optimal solution for patients with multiple anodontia.

Dental agenesis is one of the most common developmental anomaly in humans and it is frequently as-sociated with several other oral abnormalities. The present case describes nonfamilial agenesis of per-manent teeth in a twenty-one-year-old boy, with no apparent systemic abnormalities. The treatment in-cluded a personalized and interdisciplinary approach by the means of endodontics, orthodontics, im-plants supported restorations and prosthetic treatments. The treatment plan was thoroughly elaborated using photographic analysis, study models, orthopantomogram, CBCT and cephalograms. Virtual smile design, diagnostic waxing, and mock-up previsualized the treatment objectives. The edentulous spaces were reconstructed by inserting dental implants, and monolithic Zirconia implant supported restorations. The final results showed a highly aesthetic and functional rehabilitation. Periodic checkups have shown that the stability of the result is well maintained and that the implant supported restorations are an op-timal solution for patients with multiple anodontia.

Complex bimaxillary edentulous rehabilitations re­quire careful and thorough planning of aesthetic and func­tio­­nal details. The main purpose of this case re­port is to high­light the stages of diagnostic, planning and treat­ment of a 62-year-old patient with multiple eden­tu­lous teeth, involving the following specialties: family me­di­­cine, implantology, pros­thetics, periodontology and or­tho­don­tics. The role of mul­ti­dis­ci­pli­na­ry management and digital planning is high­lighted as one of the most im­por­tant requirements for an individualized edentulous treat­ment. The treatment in­clu­ded several stages (odontal, en­do­don­tic treatments, tooth extractions, insertion of implants and implant-pros­the­tic rehabilitations at the level of the upper jaw and pros­the­tic works at the level of the man­di­ble). The complete reha­bi­li­ta­tion determined major aes­the­tic changes from the point of view of macro-/mini-/micro-aesthetics, the patient’s quality of life being greatly im­proved.

Background: Temporary anchorage devices (TADs) are considered an essential and reliable component of orthodontic fixed appliance therapy, providing stable skeletal anchorage with minimal dependence on patient compliance. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the success rate of orthodontic mini-implants and to assess the influence of patient- and treatment-related factors on their stability and success rate. Materials and Methods: A retrospective analysis of 60 patients was conducted with a total of 121 inserted TADs. Patient sex, age, orthodontic diagnosis, insertion site, and bone quality were analyzed, and descriptive statistics were calculated for all variables. Associations between categorical variables were evaluated using Pearson’s chi-square test. Variables showing potential association were further analyzed using multivariate binary logistic regression to identify independent predictors of mini-implant success. Results: No statistically significant associations were found between implant success and patient sex (p = 0.240), age (p = 0.819), or insertion site (p = 0.069); however, a trend toward higher failure rates in palatal-placed implants was noted. Logistic regression analysis did not identify any independent predictors of success (p = 0.284), and the model explained only a small proportion of outcome variability (5.9–12.0%). Conclusions: The high success rate of the TADs demonstrated high clinical reliability in this study, although patient-related factors such as age and sex did not significantly influence the success rate. Bone quality and soft tissue characteristics may contribute to TAD stability; however, these factors were not directly quantified in the present analysis.
