[Vertical dentobasal changes induced by the lip-bumper: clinical study].
37 patients aged between 8 and 11 years old, were treated with the application of a lip bumper in order to explore the effects on the lateral sites after 1 year of treatment. Patients were been divided into two groups, depending on age (8-9 and 10-11) subdividend depending on typology and compared with similar control group. After one year the dental basal height was measured and resulted to be 0.90 mm higher in treated patients than in the control groups.
