The correction of skeletal class III malocclusions is one of the most difficult orthodontic treatments. Skeletal Class III malocclusion may result from a combination of maxillary deficits and mandibular prognathism, mandibular prognathism alone, or maxillary deficits alone. Treatment options include an orthopedic appliance (facemask and chin cup), orthodontics with camouflage, a combination of orthognathic surgery and orthodontics, and the recently introduced bone-anchored maxillary protraction. This case report describes the treatment of a young, growing patient with a retrognathic maxilla using Hyrax with an acrylic splint using the alternative rapid maxillary expansion and constriction protocol and a Petite type facemask.

Transversal maxillary deficiency is a prevalent skeletal issue that can be addressed using various devices and methods, including rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion (SARME). These techniques involve the separation and regeneration of the midpalatal suture (MPS). Laser therapies, such as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and photobiomodulation (PBM), have been proposed to improve biological wound or bone healing.

In this case report, a 19-year-old male patient with maxillary transverse deficiency, concave profile, and facial asymmetry is presented. In the case of transversal insufficiency, nonsurgical maxillary expansion was performed with the miniscrew-assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) appliance to reduce the number of surgeries and provide both dentoalveolar and skeletal expansion. The periodontal soundness and short-term stability of the maxillary expansion were confirmed both clinically and radiologically.

Background And Aim: Treatment effects of a combined rapid maxillary expansion (RME) and Delaire facemask (DFM) therapy have so far only been scientifically investigated through cephalometric analyses. The combination of cephalometric, dental cast and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan analysis was not yet used for investigating morphologic changes of the tooth-bearing palate. The aim of the present study was to determine whether patient age at treatment begin has an influence upon palatal length changes after RME/DFM therapy, and to what extent transverse palatal sutures contribute to these.

Introduction: Burkitt lymphoma is an aggressive form of non-Hodgkin B cell lymphoma. Oral lesions often are a component of the disseminated disease process that may involve regional lymph nodes or may at times represent the primary extranodal form of the disease. However, isolated oral Burkitt lymphoma in adults is extremely rare.
