Extensive treatments can eventually be challenging. Even more so when the patient has limitations such as extensive tooth loss and skeletal changes, including overgrowth of the lower jaw. When indicated, these treatments tend to discourage patients due to the history of previous failures. Therefore, in addition to an interdisciplinary dental team composed of oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and prosthodontists, a nutrologist, a speech therapist, and a psychotherapist were involved in the treatment of this case. A 52-year-old female patient, Angle Class III malocclusion, with few teeth and extensive maxillary bone loss, attended the dental clinic of the Brazilian Association of Dentistry in Uberlândia. The treatment involved reverse planning, extraction of the dental remnants, calvarial bone grafting, placement of 6 titanium implants (Neodent) in the maxilla (upper jaw) and 5 in the mandible (lower jaw), orthognathic surgery, and installation of implant-supported fixed complete dentures in both jaws. Furthermore, psychotherapeutic and nutrologist’s interventions were necessary during the dental treatment, concluding the treatment with speech therapy. Within the limitations of this case, the multidisciplinary approach proved to be efficient. It promoted the reestablishment of the stomatognathic system functions without compromising nutrition during the periods when it was impossible to wear prostheses for better healing of the tissues.

Angle Class III malocclusion is characterized by anteroposterior dental discrepancy which might be associated or not with skeletal changes. Class III molar relationship is associated with vertical or lingually tipped mandibular incisors and a usually concave profile. These characteristics seriously affect facial esthetics and most frequently are the reason why patients seek orthodontic treatment. This case was presented to the committee of the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics (BBO) as part of the requisites to become a BBO Diplomate.

Angle Class III malocclusion is characterized by an inadequate anteroposterior dental relationship which may or may not be accompanied by skeletal changes. In general, patients are distressed by a significantly compromised facial aspect which, when associated with a deficient middle third, encourages patients to seek treatment. This article reports a two-phase treatment carried out in a female patient aged six years and six months with a tendency towards a Class III skeletal pattern. This case was presented to the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics (BBO). It is representative of the Discrepancy Index (DI) category, and fulfills part of the requirements for obtaining BBO Diploma.

ABSTRACT Angle Class III malocclusion is characterized by an anteroposterior dental discrepancy with or without anteroposterior and vertical skeletal changes. Patients usually seek orthodontic treatment because facial appearance is compromised in most cases. The present study describes the clinical case of a 12-year and 6-month-old girl in her final stage of pubertal growth presenting Class III malocclusion with anteroposterior and vertical discrepancies. Initial treatment consisted of maxillary expansion using a Hass expander followed by the use of a Petit facemask for a minimum of 16 hours a day. During corrective treatment, Class III elastics were used to complement protraction. At the end of the treatment, skeletal discrepancy had improved, and the ANB angle increased from 0 to 2o. Angle Class III malocclusion, anterior crossbite and open bite were corrected. This case was presented to the Committee of the Brazilian Board of Orthodontics and Facial Orthopedics (BBO) as part of the requisites to become a BBO Diplomate.

Many studies report that maxillofacial growth is influenced by genetic and environmental elements and that incorrect breathing, chewing, sucking, and swallowing are promoting factors of malocclusion. This study aims to evaluate the function and the influence of the tongue positions in patients with Angle class III malocclusion, maxillary hypoplasia, and posterior crossbite. One hundred patients, aged between 6 and 12 years old, were enrolled for the study. In the first group, patients with a diagnosis of class III malocclusion, affected by maxillary hypoplasia, skeletal class III, and posterior dental crossbite were recruited. In the control group, not treated patients with no malocclusion, skeletal class I, and without posterior dental crossbite were selected. Regarding atypical deglutition, no statistical differences were reported between the two groups, and 14% of patients reported ankyloglossia. Statistical differences were found in tongue rest position and during the execution of “hold and pull” and “chuck” exercises. Results obtained in this observational study showed that the clinician (orthodontist or general dentist) should analyze the presence/absence of atypical swallowing, the anatomical and functional aspects, and the tongue behavior in the rest position.

Objective: To determine prevalence of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment needs in Down syndrome individuals among Sudanese population in Khartoum area.Materials & Method: A total of 75 (37 males and 38 females) Down syndrome individuals age ranging from 6-28 years were clinically examined after obtaining their guardian’s consent, malocclusion was determined based on Angle and Incisor classification. Exclusion criteria were included individuals who had history of extraction and orthodontic treatment.Data was analysed by using SPSS Version 17, at an alpha level 0.05 and 95% confidence limits.Result: Angle Class III and Incisor III malocclusion represents the most prevalent type of malocclusions (58.7%) Angle classification, (53.3%) Incisors classification. Angle Class III malocclusion was more frequent among females (60.5%) than in males (56.8%). Themajority of individuals with Down syndrome are in need of orthodontic treatment (85.3%).Conclusion: The prevalence of malocclusion and orthodontic treatment need among Sudanese Down syndrome individuals was high. Angle and Incisor Class III malocclusion representing commonest trait of malocclusion with more frequency in femalesthan males.Key word: down syndrome, Class III malocclusion, orthodontic treatment

ABSTRACT Introduction: Skeletal Class III malocclusion is often referred for orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery. However, with the aid of miniplates, some moderate discrepancies become feasible to be treated without surgery. Objective: To report the case of a 24-year-old man with severe skeletal Angle Class III malocclusion with anterior crossbite and a consequent concave facial profile. Methods: The patient refused to undergo orthognathic surgery; therefore, orthodontic camouflage treatment with the aid of miniplates placed on the mandibular arch was proposed. Results: After 18 months of treatment, a Class I molar and canine relationship was achieved, while anterior crossbite was corrected by retraction of mandibular teeth. The consequent decrease in lower lip fullness and increased exposure of maxillary incisors at smiling resulted in a remarkable improvement of patient's facial profile, in addition to an esthetically pleasing smile, respectively. One year later, follow-up revealed good stability of results.

The Alt-RAMEC protocol was introduced by Liou in the year 2005. It allows for sutural mobilisation by opening and closing the RME screw for 7-9 weeks. Maxillary protraction after the use of Alt-Ramec (alternate rapid maxillary expansion and contraction) protocol is an efficient method for early treatment of skeletal Class III malocclusion. This case report shows the results of using a hyrax bonded maxillary expander with the Alt-RAMEC protocol to treat a maxillary hypoplasia Class III malocclusion. A 12-year-old patient with skeletal class III malocclusion with anterior as well as the unilateral posterior crossbite was treated using this protocol. CBCT scans were taken before and after expansion. These CBCT scans were used for assessing and analysing the skeletal changes that have occurred after using the AltRamec protocol. The objective of this case report is to assess skeletal changes after using the Alt-RAMEC protocol.

VG, 25-year-old male, presented with c/c of forwardly placed lower jaw and history of unsatisfactory previous orthodontic treatment. Extraorally, the patient had asymmetrical face and concave profile, competent lips, positive lip step, and chin deviated toward left side by 2 mm. Intraorally, the patient had Angle’s class III type 3 malocclusion with an overjet of (–1) mm, overbite of 0%, and cross-bite wrt 12, 21. The patient was skeletal class III due to macrognathic and prognathic mandible with hypodivergent growth pattern, and proclined upper and retroclined lower incisors. The patient was managed orthosurgically with bimaxillary surgery (maxillary advancement 3 mm + mandibular setback 7 mm) after presurgical decompensation. The case report discusses in detail the diagnosis and comprehensive management of the skeletal class III case.
