Patient Concerns: A 22-year-old male was concerned about his irregular teeth.

Diagnosis: Angle's dentoalveolar class III malocclusion on class III skeletal on an average mandibular plane angle with anterior crossbite, deep bite, crowding in maxillary and mandibular anteriors, proclined maxillary anteriors and retroclined mandibular anteriors with reverse overjet and congenitally missing 12, 22, palatally impacted 13 and retained deciduous 63 and palatally placed 23.

Surgical Camouflage as a Solution for Complete Decompensating Failures: An Interesting Experience With Class III Case Scenarios.

Dental compensations are an integral part of skeletal malocclusions. Failure to achieve optimal decompensation may lead to compromised surgical movements, thereby resulting in sub-optimal occlusion and soft tissue profile. Hence the mandibular subapical osteotomy was chosen as a minimalistic surgical alternative to the traditional combination of Le Fort 1 and bilateral sagittal split osteotomy.

Surgery-First Approach: A Boon for Periodontally Compromised Patients - A Case Report.

The Rationale: The surgery-first approach (SFA) has revolutionized orthognathic surgery in recent years and in trend because it addresses the dentofacial abnormalities first, making the patient compliant and outcome more predictable.

Patient Concerns: A 22-year-old female was concerned about her forwardly placed teeth.

Diagnosis: She had a compromised periodontium with a skeletal Class II malocclusion and dental malocclusion.

Management of supraerupted maxillary molars in an adult patient using orthodontic miniscrew implants: A pre-prosthodontic therapy.

The sequelae of chronic edentulous space is the supraeruption of the opposing teeth which hinders prosthodontic replacement. Molar intrusion of overerupted teeth can be done using miniscrew implants which serves as a promising technique, especially in adult patients. This case report highlights pre-prosthodontic therapy by pure molar intrusion using Temporary Anchorage Device (TAD) in an adult patient seeking prosthesis to enhance chewing efficiency.

A Comparative Evaluation of Changes in Soft Tissues After Single-Jaw Surgery and Bimaxillary Surgery in Skeletal Class III Patients.

Aims And Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare cephalograms for the hard and soft tissue changes observed in skeletal Class III patients of Indian origin who had undergone either single-jaw mandibular setback (BSSO) or bimaxillary surgery (Le Fort I advancement + BSSO setback) and also to derive a correlation between the changes brought about in the soft tissues by the surgical alteration in hard tissue.

Materials And Methods: The study included records comprising 18 treated skeletal Class III patients, who were divided into two groups based on the surgical procedures advocated: Group I: single-jaw procedure comprised of only mandibular set back, Group II: bimaxillary surgery. Presurgical and post-treatment cephalograms were calibrated and traced using Ilexis FACAD AB-2014 Version 3.
