The group is formed by a group of professors belonging to the area of knowledge of Stomatology and Physiology of the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry of the Universitat de València. Within the area of Stomatology knowledge, to the Teaching Unit of Orthodontics, a branch of Dentistry responsible for the supervision, care and correction of the dentofacial structures (in growth or in a definitive state) including those conditions that require dental movement or correction of related bone malformations.
Its centre is located in the Dental Clinic of the Fundació Lluís Alcanyís of the Universitat de València, establishing points of contact with other Spanish and European Universities in order to promote and establish exchanges and unify criteria between the different fields of research.
Research into new technologies developed for clinical and radiological diagnosis in Orthodontics.
- Three-dimensional cephalometric analysis for the diagnosis and study of the orthodontic population
The introduction of diagnostic tools such as CBCT and its clinical application to 3D craniofacial imaging is one of the most interesting subjects in dentistry. One of the questions that arise in orthodontic diagnosis is the possibility of being guided by 3D cephalometry.
- Development of a digital method for the measurement and prediction of tooth size: Applications for determining changes in the Bolton Index.
Several studies on the analysis of models related to the prediction of tooth size, these are: Studies on plaster models. Studies of tooth size prediction using a digital programme developed by the research group itself. Studies of Bolton alterations.
- Need for orthodontic treatment and the psychosocial impact of dental aesthetics
Various studies related to the epidemiology of malocclusion, these are: Cross-sectional studies on the prevalence of malocclusion in a given population applying various occlusal or orthodontic treatment need indexes.
- Anàlisi de models tridimensionals mitjançant tomografia computada de feix cònic (CBCT)
- Amb la introducció del CBCT en el diagnòstic ortodòncic hem millorat la tradicional anàlisi models en dues dimensions.
- Comparació de l'anàlisi de models en dos i en tres dimensionals.
- Estudis de predicció de grandàries dentàries mitjançant un programa digital.
