Treatment effects and lip profile changes following premolars extraction treatment vs fixed functional treatment in Class II division 1 malocclusion: A randomized controlled clinical trial.

Objective: The objective of this two-arm parallel randomized controlled trial was to evaluate the treatment effects and lip profile changes in skeletal Class II patients subjected to premolars extraction treatment versus fixed functional treatment.

Methods: Forty six subjects fulfilling inclusion criteria were randomly distributed into Group PE (mean age 13.03±1.

Treatment Effects and Lip Profile Changes Following Surgical Mandibular Advancement Versus Premolar Extractions in Class II Div 1 Malocclusion: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

No randomized controlled trial has compared the treatment outcome between surgical mandibular advancement and premolar extractions in class II malocclusion. This 2-arm parallel randomized controlled trial evaluated the treatment effects and lip profile changes in skeletal class II adult patients subjected to bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for mandibular advancement and those treated with premolar extractions. Seventy skeletal class II patients were accessed and forty-six subjects who fulfilled inclusion criteria were distributed randomly into Group CG (patients: 23, mean age: 21.

Management of skeletal class II malocclusion using bimaxillary skeletal anchorage supported fixed functional appliances : A novel technique.

Aim: To evaluate the treatment effects in growing skeletal class II patients subjected to a novel treatment technique, i.e., bimaxillary miniplates supported fixed functional appliance.

Pharyngeal airway evaluation following isolated surgical mandibular advancement: A 1-year follow-up.

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the stability of pharyngeal airway space changes with the use of acoustic pharyngometry 1 year after bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy for mandibular advancement in patients with skeletal Class II malocclusion.

Methods: The sample comprised 16 patients (mean age 21.26 ± 1.

Management of Nonsyndromic Skeletal Dysgnathia by Distraction Osteogenesis Long-Term Follow-Up.

Distraction osteogenesis has been a paradigm shift in the field of orthognathic surgery. Majority of the published cases are those of syndromic patients that have been managed using varying treatment protocols. This communication describes a patient of 18-year-old male diagnosed with skeletal Class II malocclusion due to mandibular retognathism.

Comparative evaluation of anchorage reinforcement between orthodontic implants and conventional anchorage in orthodontic management of bimaxillary dentoalveolar protrusion.

Background: Increased upper lip procumbency is commonly associated with maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion with the major goal of reducing maxillary dentoalveolar protrusion. The treatment plan usually includes extraction of the maxillary first premolars, followed by retraction of anterior teeth with maximum anchorage. Dental implants have been widely accepted as successful adjuncts for obtaining maximum anchorage in orthodontic treatment.

Management of Skeletal Class II Malocclusion by Surgery-First Approach.

Surgery-first approach (SFA) has been a paradigm shift in the field of orthognathic surgery. Majority of the published cases that have been managed by this approach are of skeletal class III. This communication describes a patient of 18-year-old male diagnosed with skeletal class II malocclusion due to mandibular retognathism.

Management of Tooth Size Arch Size Discrepancy (TSASD) in Patients with Sleep Disorder Breathing.

This case report describes the interdisciplinary management of an adult patient with sleep disorder breathing i.e. snoring.

Interdisciplinary Management of Patient with Advanced Periodontal Disease.

This case report describes the interdisciplinary management of an adult patient with advanced periodontal disease. Treatment involved orthodontic and periodontal management. Good esthetic results and dental relationships were achieved by the treatment.
