AbstractAmelogenesis Imperfecta has been defined as a group of hereditary enamel defects not associated with evidence of systemic disease. Restoration for patients with this condition should be oriented toward the functional and esthetic rehabilitation and the protection of these teeth. The specific objectives of the treatment were to enhance esthetics, eliminate tooth sensitivity and restore masticatory function. Management of a patient with skeletal class III malocclusion and Amleogenesis Imperfecta is a challenge for the clinician. Surgical correction of the skeletal class III malocclusion, orthodontic therapy followed by full mouth rehabilitation as a multidisciplinary approach is vital for the functional rehabilitation of the patient.

Orthodontic treatment in a young patient with Beckwith-Wiedeman Syndrome (BWS) is reported and a multidisciplinary approach to the management of this syndrome is reviewed. The patient presented with a tendency to Class III malocclusion, an open-bite and a slight macroglossia, which was treated at an early age by glossotomy. It was decided to monitor growth without treatment and to wait for the best time to begin therapy. It was based only on functional rehabilitation, without any fixed appliances, in which optimum intercuspation of the teeth and the skeletal Class I relationship was achieved and maintained after the retention period of three years. In conclusion the treatment of BWS patients requires a multidisciplinary approach that includes orthodontics, orthopaedics and surgical intervention. It is also necessary to underline the significance of diagnosis at an early age and timely treatment to reduce the development of dento-skeletal alterations.

This case report describes the correction of a skeletal Class III malocclusion by performing alveoloplasty and All-on-four styletitanium/acrylic (hybrid) fixed/detachable implant supported prosthesis.  A 76-year-old Hispanic,female patient with a noncontributory medical history presented to the clinic with a chief complaint of “I cannot wear my upper partial denture, it keeps on breaking”. Intraoral examination revealed significant inter-arch Class III relation, supra-erupted mandibular dentition, and significant loss of the vertical dimension of occlusion. Surgical treatment included edentulation of the patient in addition to a significant mandibular alveoloplasty in order to correct the patient’s malocclusion prosthetically. Through proper planning and execution, a skeletal Class III relationship was corrected with an implant supported All-on-four maxillary/mandibular prostheses. An edge-to-edge incisal relationship was achieved along with an appropriate vertical dimension of occlusion. The preplanning protocol allowed determination of the required alveoloplasty in order to obtain sufficient restorative space to allow for the correction of the skeletal malocclusion prosthetically.

Case with skeletal and dental class III malocclusion is presented. The patient was a seven year-old girl with growth potential, having anterior and posterior cross bite, premature loss of mandibular deciduous molar teeth bilaterly. The patients soft tissue profile was concave.The general treatment included chin cap, palatal expansion and comprehensive edge wise orthodontic therapy.
