Relevance and Importance of the Topic Addressed
Dento-maxillary anomalies (DMAs) represent conditions that manifest as disruptions in the
growth and development of the dental system or jaw bones. These disruptions can be congenital
in nature or may occur later, significantly impacting the balance of dental arches and occlusion.
The causes of DMAs are diverse and cover a wide range of factors that act during the pre- and
postnatal morphogenesis process [1]. According to data from the World Health Organization
(WHO), DMAs rank third in frequency after dental caries. Epidemiological investigations
conducted by various researchers in different countries indicate that the prevalence of these
anomalies is on the rise and can be identified at various stages of life [2]. [...].
