Purpose is to emphasize the danger and necessity for the treatment of clinical complications from dental trauma without appropriate reimplantation and applied space maintainer. Two clinical cases with dental trauma without appropriate reimplatation and used space maintainer resulting in complications of the dental arch were treated with different orthodontic techniques. The first clinical case ...

Although most orthodontists avoid extractions, treating patients with biprotrusion traditionally involves removing teeth. In the current case report, a 15-year-old deaf patient had Class II molar and canine relationships, 8 mm overjet 3mm overbite, 3 of discrepancy between U/L midline, crowding in both arches (3 upper 7 lower). The first right (16) left lower molars (36 46) were severely MIH af...

INTRODUCTION Orthodontic-surgical treatment was performed in patient with skeletal Class III malocclusion due to exceeding mandibular growth. Patient also presented upper and lower dental protrusion, overjet of -3.0 mm, overbite of -1.0 mm, congenital absence of tooth #22, teeth #13 and supernumerary impaction, tooth #12 with conoid shape and partly erupted in supraversion, prolonged retention ...

INTRODUCTION In this study, we evaluated the effects of orthodontic appliances and an extracted maxillary first premolar on the esthetic evaluation of a smiling face according to the perceptions of orthodontists and laypeople. METHODS Standardized oblique photographs of a young woman with a pleasing smile were taken. The photos were edited by using digital imaging software to produce 10 combi...

This prospective randomized split-mouth study was performed to examine the effects of absorbable collagen membrane (ACM) application in augmented corticotomy using deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM), during orthodontic buccal tipping movement in the dog. After buccal circumscribing corticotomy and DBBM grafting into the decorticated area, flaps were repositioned and sutured on control sid...

A review of numerous case reports was made, in order to demonstrate the possibilities for treatment of dental disorders in patients with Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD). In this paper, our own report, including a diagnosis of the effect on the auditory system, is presented. In addition to the triad of CCD symptoms that include hypoplastic or aplastic clavicles, impacted and supernumerary teeth, d...

Reconstruction of a maxillary dentoalveolar defect and closure of a wide oronasal fistula in a patient with a traumatic injury are challenging for both orthodontists and surgeons. A conventional bone graft is used to fill the alveolar bone defect, to restore continuity between bony segments, and to provide bony support for tooth eruption adjacent to the defect or for orthodontic tooth movement ...

This article reports the orthodontic treatment of a patient with skeletal mandibular retrusion and an anterior open bite due to temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJ-OA) using miniscrew anchorage. A 46-year-old woman had a Class II malocclusion with a retropositioned mandible. Her overjet and overbite were 7.0 mm and -1.6 mm, respectively. She had limited mouth opening, TMJ sounds, and pa...
