Aggressive periodontitis during adolescence has a poor prognosis due to rapid alveolar bone resorption. Few studies have investigated long-term follow-up after surgical orthodontic treatment performed in conjunction with that for invasive periodontitis. Here, we report case of mandibular prognathism accompanied by generalized aggressive and crowding. A 31-year-old woman was referred our departm...

INTRODUCTION Crouzon syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disease characterized by bicoronal craniosynostosis, exorbitism with hypertelorism, and maxillary hypoplasia with mandibular prognathism. CASE OUTLINE We present the first reported case of Crouzon syndrome associated with a bilateral con- genital cholesteatoma of the temporal bone and discuss about the potential pathogenesis. CO...

One of the most important components of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning is the evaluation of the patient's soft tissue profile. The main purpose of this study was to develop soft-tissue cephalometric standards for Turkish men and women and compare them with the cephalometric standards of normal European-American white people. The sample included 96 Turkish adults (48 women, 48 men)...

The standard surgical treatment for mandibular prognathism is sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) if the proximal and distal segments of the ramus require fixing with screws or metal plates. In this procedure, however, it is frequently difficult to avoid neurosensory disturbance (NSD) of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) when the posterior margin of the ramus curves inward or when the ramus i...

The skeletal Class III malocclusion though comparatively small in incidence is one of the most difficult malocclusion to treat. It can be due to maxillary retrognathism, mandibular prognathism or both. Reverse pull Headgear or Face Mask have been used for early maxillary protraction. Face mask therapy has been shown to improve the skeletal relationship. The article presents a case report of the...
