Surgical exposure of impacted upper incisor is very complex, so fixed orthodontic treatment rehabilitation is the first choice of the treatment for the correction of malocclusion. A clinical case report a 10-year old boy with a unerupted malposed upper left central incisor, which was treated by sequential surgical exposure and fixed orthodontic treatment. The tooth was aligned in the dental arch with accepted aesthetic and functional satisfaction of the patient.DOI: http://doi.dx.org/10.3329/bjdre.v2i2.16249 Bangladesh Journal of Dental Research & Education Vol.2(2) 2012: 69-70
Abstract:Class III malocclusions are considered one of the most complex and difficult orthodontic problems to diagnose and treat. Skeletal and /or dental asymmetries in patient presenting with Class III malocclusion can worsen the prognosis recognizing the dentoalveolar and skeletal characteristics of class III malocclusion and their treatment possibilities is essential for a favorable nonsurgical correction. Therefore, this case presents a nonsurgical extraction approach to class III malocclusion treatment which can significantly improve the occlusion and facial deformities. A male patient of 18 yrs attended a private dental office at Dhaka, Bangladesh with the complain of aesthetic problem. On examination, incisor, canine and molar relationships were found Class III on both sides with palatally placed upper central incisors and crowding on both anterior segments. The case was treated orthodontically. It tooks nearly 18 months to complete the treatment. The patient was happy with the new appearance and function.
Objectives: To know the prevalence & pattern of dental health problems among Bangladeshi people.Study design: Descriptive cross sectional study.Place of study: Department of Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopaedics of Dhaka Dental College & Hospital, Dhaka.Period of study: From September2011 to February2012.Sample selection: In this study, A total number of 500 patients (250 males & 250 females) were selected from Orthodontic Department of Dhaka Dental College & Hospital.Results: This was a cross sectional study conducted among 500 patients in the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Dhaka Dental College and Hospital. Gingivitis is the commonest problem in Bangladeshi people according to present study. The second most dental problem is dental caries. The prevalence of orthodontic problems was comparable to the observations made by others. Males and females are equally affected with slight variations in the nature of problems among both genders.Conclusion: Good oral health is essential to improve individual overall health & well-being. We urge to take this information & use it for program planning & advocating for the health of patients, specially for the patients who will receive orthodontic treatment. Therefore, current orthodontic students should receive more education & training before the management of malocclusion to improve the overall quality of care for orthodontic patients.Ban J Orthod & Dentofac Orthop, October 2012; Vol-3, No.1
Objectives: To test the hypothesis that there is no difference between adults with Class I crowded (CICR) and Class I normal (CIN) occlusions with respect to width of the maxillary and mandibular arches and gender comparisons.
Materials and Method: In this cross sectional study, 52 pairs of study models were selected from the patients and students of the Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics Department of Dhaka Dental Collage and Hospital and were divided into two groups, 27 pair of dental casts with normal occlusion, 25 pair of dental casts with Class I crowded malocclusion including equal males and female samples.
Results: The result of this study evaluated two study groups (Normal occlusion and Class I crowded ). Between different arch dimension maxillary arch widths were found to have significantly smaller in Class I crowded malocclusion compared with Normal Class I occlusion.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the hypothesis was partially rejected by the finding of the study.
