Abstract Sever gingival fibromatosis may cause bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion. In these patients, multidisciplinary approaches by collaboration within several specialists, orthodontics, periodontics, and oral & maxillofacial surgeons is mandatory to obtain a good result. Orthognathic surgery can be used to correct dentofacial deformity that has positive effects on facial esthetic in some ...

The objective of this study was to see the effect of lip morphology in the study sample presenting with bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion on normal skeletal pattern. This cross sectional study comprised 50 subjects having bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion on class I skeletal pattern. Age of the subjects ranged from 18-25 years. The sampling comprised random selection of the subjects. The ...

This clinical case reports the orthodontic treatment of a Class I malocclusion with anterior open bite and bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion in a 28-year-old female patient.
