Grups d'Investigació

GIUV2013-010

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.

• Investigacion de nuevas tecnologias desarrolladas para el diagnostico clinico y radiologico en Ortodoncia

• Need for orthodontic treatment and 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.
• Dimensional cephalometric analysis for diagnosis and orthodontic population study.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.
• Treatment protocols for cleft palate patients.Patients with cleft palate require multidisciplinary treatments from birth, including orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedic treatment. By making oral appliances from birth, the cleft jaw area can be shaped, facilitating and improving the prognosis of subsequent operations. In addition, in later stages, orthopedic and orthodontic appliances can be placed following different protocols for this type of patient, which improve occlusion, function and dentofacial aesthetics. For all these reasons, it is necessary to develop protocols and techniques that improve the quality of life of these patients.
• Development of a digital method for the measurement and prediction of tooth sizes: Applications to determine alterations 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.
• Analysis of three-dimensional models by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).With the introduction of CBCT in orthodontic diagnostics we have improved the traditional two-dimensional model analysis. Comparison of two-dimensional and three-dimensional model analysis. Tooth size prediction studies using a digital programme.
