A study of the relationship of maximal perioral muscle pressure and tonic resting pressure using a pneumohydraulic capillary infusion system.

The tonic (resting) and peak (maximum) lip pressures of 100 subjects were measured. The purpose was to evaluate the validity of the assumption that high peak pressures are indicative of high tonic pressures and vice versa. This paper describes the equipment and techniques devised to test these pressures. The results showed no statistically significant relationship whatsoever between tonic and peak lip pressures. We, therefore, suggest that maximum lip pressures not be used as a diagnostic aid in orthodontics.

The oral-facial-digital syndrome: case report of a mother and daughter.

A case report of a daughter and mother with the oral-facial digital syndrome, type I, is presented. The features were variable between the two cases. The daughter had a previously unreported feature, ridging of the metopic suture. Hand-wrist radiographs of both the patient and mother demonstrated a normal trabeculation pattern, contradicting the suggestion of Anneren et al (1984) that irregular mineralization of the hands is pathognomonic for the OFD I syndrome.

Treatment of an open-bite malocclusion complicated by clefts of the maxilla and mandible.

This is a case presentation of a young girl with a severe Class II, Division I open-bite malocclusion. Her orthodontic problems were further complicated by clefts in both her maxilla and mandible. A cleft palate team evaluation brought several systemic and local problems to light which necessitated their correction prior to the commencement of any orthodontic therapy. Her diagnosis and treatment have been discussed here with special emphasis on the problems peculiar to children with oral clefts.
