Previous research into the origins of lower incisor crowding have not yet established the part played by skeletal morphology in its development. Longitudinal cephalometric records of twelve cases with spaced lower teeth were compared with those of twelve moderately crowded cases and twelve severely crowded cases. Significant differences were found between the three groups. These suggested that ...

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...

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...

This study describes the course of interdisciplinary treatment for mandibular prognathism in an adult patient with a severe Class III malocclusion and a reverse overjet of 9 mm that involved an orthodontic and surgical orthognathic treatment. The orthodontic treatment involved attaching a fixed appliance to the upper and lower dental arches to prepare the patient for the mandibular surgery. Fol...

Nevoid basal cell carcinoma syndrome (NBCCS) is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterized by skeletal anomalies and multiple keratocystic odontogenic tumors of the jaws. The skeletal anomalies of this syndrome are mandibular prognathism, bossing of frontal and parietal bones, high-arched palate, and bifid rib. We report three cases with NBCCS, emphasizing the clinical and radiographic findi...
