3D Evaluation

The study of identical twins can point out potential limitations in biometrics and forensic odontology. This case report presents three-dimensional (3D) palatal rugae analysis in monozygotic twins utilizing digital models obtained directly by scanning the maxillary dental arch with the iTero® intraoral digital scanner. The results show that the rugae patterns contain related but not identical features between the pair of identical twins. Dental study models taken on a regular basis for diagnosis and treatment planning in dentistry include the palatal rugae, which could be valuable to forensics in identical twin identification cases.

Encephaloceles are considered neural tube defects, but their exact cause is unknown. The outcome is dismal, and essential management and counseling are needed for patients. Two-dimensional and three-dimensional sonography can be used to detect encephaloceles as early as 11 weeks, assist in treatment planning, and improve patient care. This case report presents an occipital encephalocele diagnosed by sonography and followed until delivery.

Similar congenital anomalies in siblings are common.1-3 Enuresis,4 vesicoureteral reflux,5 and ureteroceles6 have been reported in identical twins, but posterior urethral valves have not been confirmed in proven monozygotic twins. CASE REPORT Twin boys, weighing 2,380 and 2,637 g, were born by repeat cesarean section to an 18-year-old, gravida 2, para 1 woman. The placenta was monochorionic and diamniotic. Immediately after birth, twin A developed grunting respiration and mild substernal retraction; a firm 6 x 5 cm suprapubic mass was palpated. Suprapubic aspiration produced clear urine, and catheterization decreased the size of the mass. A voiding cystourethrogram and an intravenous pyelogram were diagnostic of posterior urethral valves.

Septal Hypertrophy

We report the case of identical twin sisters, both with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, and both found to have similar echocardiographic appearances in the form of asymmetric septal hypertrophy. This is unusual, in that published reports commonly describe the heterogeneous expression of this condition in twins.

ABSTRACT Transposition of maxillary teeth is an eruptive disturbance occurring in approximately 1 of every 300 orthodontic patients. Such cases are frequently very challenging in terms of treatment planning and orthodontic management. The canine is one of the most commonly transposed teeth, ectopically positioned with either the lateral incisor or the first premolar. This case report illustrates unique orthodontic treatment, describes treatment procedures, and presents the final outcome of bilateral maxillary canine-lateral incisor complete transpositions in which the involved teeth were moved to their clinically normal position in the dental arch without extracting premolars.

ABSTRACT Treatment of multiple impacted teeth is challenging. Three-dimensional treatment planning can help in delivering a better outcome. This case report presents a patient with an incomplete dental transposition between the canine and lateral incisor of the maxillary right side associated with the impaction of a dilacerated right central incisor. Using a two-stage surgical exposure and augmented corticotomy, the patient's occlusion and smile esthetics were significantly improved, and Class I occlusal relationships with optimal overjet and overbite were achieved after 50 months of orthodontic treatment. Thirty-month posttreatment records revealed a stable result.

Advances in treatment planning have changed patients’ expectations of the functional and aesthetic outcomes of maxillofacial prosthetic treatments. This case report describes and discusses the role of digital technology in the treatment planning of a facial prosthesis for a patient with complex maxillofacial prosthetic needs. A 75-year-old man was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma of the left maxillary sinus. The tumor was surgically resected and resulted in extensive tissue loss. The four key elements of visualization, design, manufacture, and evaluation were considered in digital treatment planning of the facial prosthesis; the first two are discussed in this report. The defect areas were three-dimensionally digitized using computed tomography and stereophotogrammetry. The scanned data were saved as a standard tessellation language file. From these data, virtual three-dimensional models were created for treatment planning options. With the aid of computer-aided design software, two types of facial prostheses were designed: an open-eyeprosthesis and a closed-eye prosthesis. These designs were discussed with the patient to determine the one most suitable to meet his aesthetic expectations. Patients’ expectations of treatment options can be improved through the virtual visualization and design offered by digital treatment planning. This case report confirms the applicability of digital treatment planning in managing patients with complex maxillofacial prosthetic needs.

Gallbladder Agenesis

Agenesis of the gallbladder, a rare anomaly, is generally regarded as an organogenic failure. Several reports suggest that this congenital defect is inherited but that supposition remains controversial. We described agenesis of the gallbladder in identical twins. A 21-year-old female presented with a history of acute pain in the epigastrium and right hypochondrium. Various imaging modalities showed “gallbladder agenesis.” Moreover, her older identical twin sister had also no visualized gallbladder in imaging modalities. This case report strongly suggested that agenesis of the gallbladder would be caused by a genetic abnormality.
