A 13-year-old female patient, presented with the chief complaint of forwardly placed upper front teeth. On examination and analysis of relevant records, she was diagnosed as an Angle's Class II malocclusion on a skeletal Class I base. It was decided to treat the patient with a nonextraction treatment approach with the help of maxillary molar distalization followed by fixed mechanotherapy.

Correlation of Pharyngeal Airway Dimensions with Maxillomandibular Skeletal Relation and Mandibular Morphology in Subjects with Skeletal Class I and Class II Malocclusions and Different Growth Patterns: A Cephalometric Study in Selected Local Population.

Objectives: To test the hypothesis that there is no positive correlation between skeletal Class II and mandibular morphology with pharyngeal dimensions in subjects with different growth patterns.

Materials And Methods: Lateral cephalograms of 60 patients were collected and divided into 2 groups, comprising of 30 in each group. Group 1 consisted of cephalograms of patients having Class I malocclusion, and was further divided into subgroups.

Management of unilateral temporomandibular joint ankylosis & orthomorphic correction in a patient with Marfan syndrome: A rare case report.

Introduction: Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a disorder of the connective tissue that is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and is caused by mutations in the gene coding for fibrillin-1 (FBN1). This condition commonly affects the skeletal system, pulmonary system, ocular system and the cardiovascular system. Surgical intervention is often needed to correct the various deformities affecting the patients to restore the function, improving the patient's aesthetic appearance and quality of life.
