A late adolescent patient presented with a Class III malocclusion on a skeletal Class III base, complicated by severe upper arch and moderate lower arch crowding, reverse overjet, anterior and bilateral posterior crossbites with displacement, proclined upper incisors, retroclined lower incisors, distally tipped lower canines and non-coincident centrelines. Treatment was undertaken on an extract...

Orthodontic treatment is a topic in dentistry that plays an important role improving facial esthetics, function and stability of good results.Interceptive orthodontic performed infancy or the mixed dentition pe-riod to reduce severity developing malocclusion order minimize need for treatment. Interceptive using functional appliance produce orthopedic, dentoalveolar, andmusculoskeletal changes. ...

This clinical report describes a 3.5-year-old boy suffering from chronic daytime fatigue, accumulated snoring and dramatically appearing apnea during sleep. Oxycardiorespirography revealed a breathing pattern similar to repetitive obstructive apnea and an oxygen saturation periodically dropping to 80%. During tidal breathing, fiberoptic bronchoscopy showed aspiration of the aryepiglottic folds ...

This paper describes an appliance to replace prematurely lost maxillary anterior teeth. A review of the literature is given. The prosthesis is different from previous appliances in its use of intraorally placed composite-filled celluloid crown forms. This allows for superior control of both esthetics and functional occlusal relationships. A case presentation is given describing laboratory and o...

Introduction Mesial drifting of molar teeth in maxillary arch is corrected by movement of the molars distally. In addition to traditional distal movement techniques, such as extraoral force application and removable appliances, various intra-arch devices have been introduced since 1980s. These intra-arch appliances have nearly eliminated the need for patient cooperation. Case report The purpo...

Background: Anterior crossbite is a case that when upper anterior are positioned palatally than lower teeth in centric occlusion. Orthodontic appliances using expansion screw could be solution for tooth treatment. Purpose: To figure out the optimal fabrication process of orthodontic single screw. Case analysis: Dental laboratory provided maxillary dental appliance with on 21. technician also re...

Objective: The study was conducted to find out the correlation if any between the duration of wearing orthodontic appliances and the intensity of transient bacteremia. Materials and methods: Study has been carried out on 50 subjects (21 males and 29 females), age ranging from 11 to 21 years, categorized in the separate groups with 25 subjects in each group of fixed (E1) and active removable app...
