AI Article Synopsis
- The case report focuses on a 23-year-old woman with Class III malocclusion and a missing upper left second premolar, detailing an interdisciplinary treatment approach.
- The chosen treatment plan included maxillary molar retraction and arch protraction using a temporary skeletal anchorage device, successfully creating space for an implant and improving her overall dental alignment and function.
- The case highlights the effectiveness of combining implant restoration with orthodontic methods, while emphasizing the importance of understanding the biomechanics of temporary skeletal anchorage devices for addressing similar dental issues.
Article Abstract
This case report describes the interdisciplinary treatment of a 23-year-old female with Class III malocclusion and a missing maxillary left second premolar. Treatment alternatives were discussed, and the selected treatment plan was presented to illustrate a way to gain space for the premolar implant restoration and correct Class III relationship through maxillary molar retraction followed by maxillary total arch protraction with a palatal temporary skeletal anchorage device. Esthetic anterior alignment and functional occlusal rehabilitation was achieved, and facial balance was maintained at the end of treatment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: Implant restoration in conjunction with regaining orthodontic space by a team of multidisciplinary dental specialists presents an effective treatment solution to permanent tooth agenesis. Class III malocclusion can be treated with a combination of maxillary protraction and mandibular retraction using temporary skeletal anchorage devices. The versatility of modified palatal C-plates presents greater clinical application when related side effects are controlled with solid understanding of their biomechanics.

Background: Oral cancer screening programs can aid in the early identification of potentially malignant oral lesions. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the Oral Rub and Rinse (ORR) technique as an oral cancer screening tool and to test its potential in detecting genetic alterations in exfoliated cells obtained through ORR.
Methods: The screening programs were conducted in rural Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts in Karnataka.

Background: In the last two decades, robotic-assisted gastrectomy has become a widely adopted surgical option for gastric cancer (GC) treatment. Despite its popularity, postoperative complications can significantly deteriorate patient quality of life and prognosis. Therefore, identifying risk factors for these complications is crucial for early detection and intervention.

Aim: This study aimed to analyze the upper airway dimensions in adult patients with different anteroposterior (sagittal) skeletal malocclusions (class I, II, and III) using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging.
Materials And Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study involved 90 CBCT records from adult subjects who were categorized into three skeletal groups based on their ANB values: Class I ( = 30), class II ( = 30), and class III ( = 30) and were evaluated. The following upper airway measurements were considered: oropharyngeal airway volume, hypopharyngeal airway volume, pharyngeal airway volume, oropharyngeal airway length, hypopharyngeal airway length, pharyngeal airway length, the most constricted site of the pharyngeal airway, and the most constricted cross-sectional area (MIN-CSA) of the pharyngeal airway.

Background/purpose: There is no study available addressing the relationship between orbital volume (OV) and skeletal patterns. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlations between the OV and patient's characteristics (sex, age, height, and skeletal patterns) of Taiwanese adults.
Materials And Methods: Cone-beam computed tomography images of 94 individuals (men: 47; women: 47) were analyzed to measure their OV and maxillary dimensions.
