Incisor and jaw relationship in 27 persons with osteogenesis imperfecta

A Stenvik et al. Scand J Dent Res. 1985 Feb.

Abstract

The incisor relation and craniofacial morphology, as evaluated from lateral cephalograms, were studied in 14 women and 13 men with osteogenesis imperfecta. A negative overjet was found in one woman and five men, and for the total material a mesial basal jaw relationship was observed. Data for both women and men indicated that skeletal discrepancies had been partially compensated for by the incisor inclination. Probably, persons with osteogenesis imperfecta may be regarded as a potential high-risk group for development of malocclusion.
