For patients whose orthodontic problems are so severe that neither growth modification nor camouflage offers a solution, surgery to realign the jaws or reposition dentoalveolar segments is the only possible treatment. Surgery is not a substitute for orthodontics in these patients. Instead, it must be properly coordinated with orthodontics and other dental treatments to achieve good overall results. Dramatic progress in recent years has made it possible for combined surgical orthodontic treatment to be carried out successfully for patients with a severe dentofacial problem of any type. This case report provides an overview of the current treatment methodology in managing a combination of asymmetrical mandibular prognathism and vertical maxillary excess.

ABSTRACT The present case report describes the orthodontic treatment of a young adult patient (18y / 1m), Class III skeletal malocclusion, with mandibular prognathism and significant dental compensation. The canine relation was Class III, incisors with tendency to crossbite and open bite, moderate inferior crowding, and concave profile. Skeletal correction of malocclusion, facial profile harmony with satisfactory labial relationship, correction of tooth compensation and normal occlusal relationship were obtained with orthodontic treatment associated to orthognathic surgery. This case was presented to the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics (BBO), as part of the requirements to become a BBO diplomate.

Pendahuluan: Asimetri wajah akibat canting oklusal rahang atas seringkali menjadi keluhan  estetika wajah pasien. Perawatan canting oklusal parah memerlukan kombinasi perawatan ortodonti cekat dengan bedah ortognati. Tujuan laporan kasus ini adalah untuk menjelaskan perawatan ortodonti cekat kombinasi bedah Le Fort 1 pada kasus canting oklusal rahang atas pada maloklusi dentoskeletal kelas III disertai asimetri wajah. Laporan kasus: Seorang pasien perempuan umur 17 tahun 7 bulan datang ke praktek pribadi dengan keluhan gigi rahang atas miring, gigi belakang kanan tidak dapat mengunyah dengan nyaman. Pasien ingin dirawat gigi dan rahangnya. Pemeriksaan ekstra oral menunjukan wajah asimetri, profil cekung dan dagu sedikit menonjol. Pemeriksaan intra oral,  garis median rahang atas bergeser ke kiri, rahang bawah bergeser ke kanan, crossbite anterior, crossbite posterior unilateral, retrusi gigi anterior rahang atas dan rahang bawah. Analisis sefalometri lateral: maloklusi dentoskeletal kelas III. Diagnosis yang diberikan adalah maloklusi dentoskeletal kelas III disertai canting oklusal rahang atas, wajah asimetri, crossbite anterior, crossbite unilateral posterior. Rencana perawatan adalah perawatan ortodonti cekat kombinasi bedah ortognati Le Fort 1. Perawatan dilakukan dalam 4 tahap yaitu perawatan ortodonti dekompensasi, perawatan bedah ortognati rahang atas, perawatan ortodonti pasca bedah rahang, debonding dan pemasangan retainer. Simpulan: Maloklusi skeletal kelas III disertai canting oklusal rahang atas, asimetri wajah, crossbite anterior, dan crossbite posterior unilateral, yang dirawat menggunakan alat ortodonti cekat dan bedah ortognati Le Fort 1 dapat berhasil dengan baik. Relasi dental dan skeletal tercapai kelas I, interdigitasi gigi rahang atas dan rahang bawah mengunci, fungsi pengunyahan terkoreksi serta pasien merasa sangat puas dengan estetika wajahnya.Kata kunci: Maloklusi skeletal kelas III, asimetri wajah, canting maksila, crossbite anterior, crossbite posterior unilateral, bedah ortognati. ABSTRACTIntroduction: Facial asymmetry due to maxillary occlusal cant often becomes a facial aesthetics complaint. Treatment of severe occlusal cant requires a combination of fixed orthodontic treatment with orthognathic surgery. This case report was aimed to describe the combined fixed orthodontic treatment of Le Fort 1 in maxillary occlusal cant of class III dentoskeletal malocclusion with facial asymmetry. Case report: A female patient aged 17 years seven months came to the private clinic, complained of oblique maxillary teeth, and the right posterior was unable to masticate comfortably. The patient wants to be treated for her teeth and jaw. Extraoral examination revealed facial asymmetry, sunken profile and slightly protruding chin. The intraoral examination resulted in the maxillary median line that shifted to the left, mandible shifted to the right, anterior crossbite, unilateral posterior crossbite, and retrusion of maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth. The lateral cephalometric analysis resulted in class III dentoskeletal malocclusion. The diagnosis was class III dentoskeletal malocclusion with maxillary occlusal cant, facial asymmetry, anterior crossbite, and posterior unilateral crossbite. The treatment plan was fixed orthodontic treatment combined with Le Fort orthognathic surgery. The treatment was carried out in 4 stages: decompensated orthodontic treatment, maxillary orthodontic treatment, post-orthognathic surgery orthodontic treatment, debonding, and retainer placement. Conclusion: Class III skeletal malocclusion with maxillary occlusal cant, facial asymmetry, anterior crossbite, and the unilateral posterior crossbite was successfully treated with a fixed orthodontic appliance and Le Fort 1 orthognathic surgery. The dental and skeletal relations were achieved for class I, the interdigitation of the maxillary and mandibular teeth was locked, the masticatory function was corrected, and the patient was very satisfied with her facial aesthetics.Keywords: Class III skeletal malocclusion, facial asymmetry, maxillary cant, anterior crossbite, unilateral posterior crossbite, orthognathic surgery.

The purpose of this article was to present a case report of 11–year old female patient with a large osteolytic mandibular lesion which healed after endodontic treatment. The patient was referred for radio diagnostics due to an incidental finding of a large osteolytic lesion of the area of the left lower first and second premolars in the panoramic radiograph taken before orthodontic treatment. CBCT was performed and the patient asked to have teeth 33-35 treated by endodontics before surgery. The patient missed the surgical appointment and when she reappeared several months later, the lesion showed signs of healing thus surgery were aborted. The presented case testifies to the observation that even large osteolytic lesions can heal after endodontic treatment without surgical approach.

Introduction: This case report describes compensatory orthodontic treatment in a young patient aged 13 years. She presented with a class III skeletal malocclusion associated with mandibular laterognathy. The patient's main reason for consultation was the anterior cross bite and the aesthetics of her smile.Materials and Methods: The chosen treatment was therefore an orthodontic camouflage with the extraction of the first mandibular premolars and the second maxillary premolars, in order to catch a correct anterior articular and restore a good occlusal relationship, however, the mandibular laterognathy was camouflaged by means of dental compensations and also by correcting the deviation of the incisors medians through a class III mechanics with good anchorage management.Results: After 24 months of treatment, an ideal overjet and overbite associated with a Class I canine and molar relationship, was obtained, associated with a perfect coincidence of the interincisor medians.Conclusion: Class III skeletal cases can often be treated either by orthodontic camouflage or surgery. In our case study, the treatment adopted was orthodontic camouflage with extractions. The results of the treatment were satisfactory and the occlusal objectives were achieved. The final harmonious smile pleased the patient and improved her self-esteem and quality of life.

Orthodontic treatment in patients with orofacial cleft such as cleft lip and palate or isolated cleft palate is challenging, especially when the patients exhibit severe maxillary growth retardation. To correct this deficiency, maxillary expansion and protraction can be performed in the first phase of orthodontic treatment. However, in some cases, the malocclusion cannot be corrected by these procedures, and thus, skeletal discrepancy remains when the patients are adolescents. These remaining problems occasionally require various orthognathic treatments according to the degree of the discrepancy. Here, we describe one case of a female with isolated cleft palate and hand malformation who exhibited severe maxillary deficiency until her adolescence and was treated with multiple orthognathic surgeries, including surgically assisted maxillary expansion (surgically assisted rapid palatal expansion), LeFort I osteotomy, and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy in order to correct severe skeletal discrepancy and malocclusion. The treatment resulted in balanced facial appearance and mutually protected occlusion with good stability. The purpose of this case report is to show the orthodontic treatment outcome of 1 patient who exhibited isolated cleft palate and subsequent severe skeletal deformities and malocclusion which was treated by an orthodontic-surgical approach.

Introduction: Communication in dentistry is bilateral process which usually is based on response (understanding) by the person. That’s why the Oral Healthcare Providers (OHP) should be convinced the consent given by the patient is valid. It means that at the beginning of the treatment the orthodontist will ask a lot of questions and have expectations to receive appropriate answers. There is a specific lack of awareness about the first orthodontic consultation at 7y of age, occurrence and prevention of most of the common tooth jaw discrepancies which affect the oral health, self-confidence and overall development of the child. A variety of socio-demographic, educational, personal and other factors mostly divided into objective and subjective factors influences the perception of facial attractiveness. The orthodontic treatment lays down on the personal desire and attitudes, depends from the motivation but is not without a risk for the patient. The aim of the current research is to present the most objective and subjective factors identifying the patient’s refusal. Material and methods: It’s a case report based on preliminary discussion and orthodontic consultation over the cephalometric analysis and cast models. Orthodontic treatment protocol was followed and given informed consent by the individual was received. Results and discussions: An electronic search was conducted using the Medline database (PubMed), Science Direct, and Scopus. In this case report were described the treatment options for Class III malocclusion with an emphasis on maxillary protraction and existing impacted canine 13. The decision making capacity was evaluated and also what are the objective and subjective factors and how to proceed with patient refusal. Conclusions: Despite the orthodontist’s efforts to improve the management of the dental practice and to attract new patients, these challenges should never been from the first importance. Contemporary dentistry requires that the patient’s right to refuse should be respected and this refusal must be accepted. Because orthodontic treatment is expensive, the process of returning money or sharing responsibility for the treatment depend on the socio-cultural characteristics of both the patient and the doctor. The whole situation requires a very delicate approach, as it affects the image of the dental community in society at whole.
