In this presentation, normal transverse growth of maxilla, mandible and dental arches will be demonstrated. Based on the recent CBCT studies on transverse dimension at the University of Pennsylvania, the normal skeletal transverse relationship of maxilla and mandible and buccolingual inclination of posterior teeth will be presented. In addition, how to identify transverse problems and make proper diagnosis and treatment planning will be discussed.
Learning Objectives:
After this lecture, attendees will be able to:
Understand the normal transverse growth of maxilla, mandible and dental arches.
Understand the normal relationship of transverse dimension of maxilla and mandible and buccolingual inclination of posterior teeth.
Recognize the transverse problems and make proper diagnosis and treatment planning.
