To Asses the Stability of Orthodontic Treatment using PAR Index
Srinivas, Chaitra ; Slezák, Radovan (advisor) ; Kamínek, Milan (referee) ; Koťová, Magdalena (referee)
After achieving the correction of the malocclusion, it is necessary to assess the post treatment results as it helps in assessing the stability of the treatment and it can be a self- teaching device to the clinician to assess the quality of the work. These post treatment results can be assessed using the indices. Several indices are developed over the years however the PAR index is a more recent and a reliable index. OBJECTIVE: The aim of our work was to assess the stability of orthodontic treatment using PAR index. METHODS: Approximately 69 patients, who met all the required criteria for the study were selected for this study. The casts of these patients were assessed before treatment, after treatment and 2 years after post treatment using PAR index and a series of scores were obtained. They were then plotted on the nomogram to assess the stability. RESULTS: Most of the patients exhibited no significant variation during the post treatment phase of more than 2 years and that it was stable. CONCLUSION: It can be concluded that the majority of the patients were treated to a good standard and that the results were stable. However, it is advisable to further carry out the study in order to detect the persistence of stability after few more years of treatment without the presence of retention appliances.

Development of the palate morphology and dental arch form in cleft patients
Urbanová, Wanda ; Koťová, Magdalena (advisor) ; Kamínek, Milan (referee) ; Racek, Jaroslav (referee)
Development of the palate morphology and shape of the dental arch in patients with cleft Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the differences in development of the palate morphology and in the relationship and shape of the dental arches in two groups of individuals with different types of orofacial cleft defects. Introduction: Orofacial clefts are the cause of the insufficient growth of the face. Range of the resulting deformation depends on the type of cleft, individual growth disposition of the patient and comprehensive interdisciplinary treatment of the cleft. Material and Methods: The sample consisted of 18 patients with unilateral cleft lip and palate and 18 patients with isolated cleft palate. Measurements were performed on study casts of patients aged 9 and 13 years in average. Following measurements were performed: the frontal and distal width of the upper and lower dental arch, the length of both halves of the upper dental arches, the frontal length and depth of the upper dental arch and the overjet. According to the sagittal relationship of the dental arches, patients were classified into one of five categories of the GOSLON yardstick score. The results were compared between groups and between both age periods using one- or two-sample Wilcoxon test and Fisher test for the GOSLON...
