Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to assess the management of impacted teeth using surgical-orthodontic techniques at a dental treatment centre in Casablanca and to suggest strategies designed to enhance treatment of dental impaction.
Materials And Methods: The sample comprised 30 patients represented by their clinical files (mean age: 17 years; standard deviation: 8.141).
Results: Impaction most often involved a single tooth (56.7%), generally the upper canine (66%). The location was buccal in 43.3% of cases and generally high (63.3%). Presurgical orthodontic treatment was required in 80 of these cases. A closed eruption technique is reported in 93.1% of cases. Mean treatment duration was 11.4 months. The success rate of the surgical technical technique was 70%.
Discussion: A similarity exists between most of the variables studied and findings of other studies published on the same topic.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated a stepwise treatment approach for class III malocclusion and flat nasal deformity involving orthodontics, orthognathic surgery, and rhinoplasty, with a focus on long-term stability.
- A total of 27 patients with nasomaxillary hypoplasia underwent these procedures, and all reported satisfaction with outcomes and no major complications.
- Findings indicated significant improvements in midface contour, nasal projection, and occlusion stability, with measurable positive changes in cephalometric and soft-tissue parameters post-surgery.

Background: Schizophrenia is a major mental disorder, with an estimated incidence of 1%. Since they are sensitive to sensory changes, orthodontic treatment to move teeth should be avoided as aggressively as possible in these patients because of strong concerns about the possibility of causing adverse psychological effects, thus there are few reports on orthodontic treatment for schizophrenia patients. We report a case of severe open bite caused by medication after the onset of schizophrenia, even though the patient's occlusion had been stable for a long time after surgical orthodontic treatment.
