Diagnóstico transversal maxilo-mandibular en niños y adolescentes. Revisión de la literatura

Abstract

Within the area of orthodontics and orthopedics, the analysis of the planes of space are of great importance for a specific diagnosis and possible treatment plan, such as the vertical, sagittal and transversal planes; the latter, without being the least important, provide great information in terms of a maxillomandibular transversal diagnosis that can be applied as a diagnostic method at early ages in order to observe the relationship between the maxilla and mandible with its possible alterations; therefore, the different methods of transversal diagnosis that can be applied in our daily practice will be presented. Method: Qualitative based on a review of the literature on the basis of the subject raised with the following databases from 2013 onwards: PubMed, Springer, Lilacs, SAGE Journals, Ovid, Google Scholar, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, Taylor & Francis, Scielo, Redalyc, Healey Library (Umbrella), Base and Dialnet. All the articles selected were full access. Results: transversal diagnosis methods were identified based on clinical diagnosis, model analysis, radiographic and tomographic diagnosis. Conclusions: the different methods of maxillary- mandibular transversal diagnosis were determined, from the most traditional to the implementation of radiographic and tomographic diagnosis, where modern methods provide more information with precision in transversal diagnoses.
