Objective This is the first description of long-term follow-up of a case of Freeman-Sheldon syndrome. Microstomia was treated with a mouth expander for 2 to 3 hours per day before active orthodontic treatment. Separate impressions were necessary in each quadrant of both upper and lower jaws because of limited mouth opening. Conclusion Orthodontic treatment improved the patient's Class II malocclusion, which was accompanied by crowding and a deep bite.

Summary Background Reduction in orthodontic treatment time is gaining popularity due to patient demands. Several new techniques of acceleratory orthodontic treatment have been introduced to effectively treat the malocclusion in a shorter time period with minimal adverse effects. Objective The objective of this systematic review is to critically evaluate the potential effect of accelerated surgically assisted orthodontic techniques on periodontal tissues. Materials and methods Electronic databases used to perform the search were Medline (Ovid), EMBASE, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane, Google Scholar, and hand searching of the literature was also performed. Selection criteria Only randomized control trials (RCTs) that assessed the relationship between accelerated surgically assisted orthodontic techniques and its effects on periodontium were included. Data collection and analysis The Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal checklist tool (2016) was used to assess the finally selected studies. Among these studies, five evaluated corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics, two tested accelerated tooth movement with piezocision, one compared corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics with piezocision, and one studied the effects of periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics. The duration of these studies was relatively short and had moderate to high risk of bias. Results Literature search identified 225 records from 5 databases and 50 articles from the partial grey literature (Google scholar) search. Finally, nine eligible RCTs were included in the review. Limitations Most of the included studies were of a high risk of bias due to high experimental heterogeneity and small sample size. Long-term follow-up of the periodontal response to these interventions was also lacking. Conclusions There is an absence of evidence considering the lack of long-term follow-up and small sample size therefore, the results of this review should be carefully interpreted. Implications Due to the need for more studies with less risk of bias, these techniques should be implemented in dental practice with caution. With stronger evidence, the study may be confirmed to provide quicker desired results for orthodontic patients. Registration This study protocol was not registered. Funding No funding was obtained for this systematic review.

Williams–Beuren syndrome (WBS) is a rare multisystem disorder caused by a hemizygous deletion of the elastin gene on chromosome 7q11.23. WBS patients have characteristic skeletal features and dental anomalies accompanied by mental retardation, a friendly outgoing personality, and mild to moderate intellectual disability or learning problems. In this case report, we present the combined orthodontic and surgical treatment of a WBS patient with an isolated cleft palate through a long-term follow-up from the age of 5 to 24 years. During the period of active treatment, comprehensive orthodontic treatment combined with maxillary anterior segmental distraction osteogenesis and prosthetic treatment using dental implants were effective in dramatically improving the patient’s malocclusion. The patient’s mental abilities and the cooperation shown by the patient and her family were crucial for the success of this complex and long-term treatment course.

BACKGROUND Idiopathic condylar resorption (ICR) is a progressive, extensive loss of condylar resorption with or without temporomandibular joint (TMJ) symptoms. Orthodontic treatment causes abnormal joint loading, thus sustained physical stress to the articular surface of TMJ when exceeds adaptive capacity leads to dysfunctional remodelling of the mandible. Condylar changes were not assessed both during pre and post orthodontic treatment. The purpose of this study was to assess the condylar changes following orthodontic treatment using orthopantomogram (OPG). METHODS This retrospective study was conducted in a university dental hospital setting covering patients visiting for orthodontic treatment from October 2020 to February 2021. Analysis of pre-operative and post-operative OPG’s of patients who have undergone orthodontic treatment was done. Morphologic changes of condyle were recorded using idiopathic condylar resorption subgroups classification. The statistical software used for analysis was IBM Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 23) and a paired t test was used to assess the pre-operative and postoperative condylar changes. RESULTS 50 condyles of 25 patients (right and left side) ranging from 11 - 40 years of age were evaluated pre and post orthodontic treatment. Female predilection (60 %) with phenotype 1 (44 % - right; 44 % - left) being more common and left condyle most commonly affected. The mean and S.D. of the right side were - 680 and 0.748 respectively (P value 0.000) and left side values were - 800 and 1.118 respectively which was also statistically significant (P value 0.002). CONCLUSIONS ICR is the result of many predisposing and contributory factors and an accurate and timely diagnosis of this pathology is essential in dental practice. The available literature confirms the presence of condylar changes after orthodontic therapy, however more evidence-based high-quality clinical trials with detailed design and long-term follow-up periods need to be conducted yet in order to gain more insight and knowledge on the onset and progression of this pathology.

Background: Anomalies such as ectopic tooth eruption and transposition are challenging situations that may complicate the orthodontic treatment. Some of these anomalies can only be diagnosed and managed by accurate long-term radiographic examination. Delayed diagnosis could impede simple preventive orthodontic measurements and cause more costly and consuming future complicated orthodontic treatment.Case Description: We described in detail the long term follow-up of a young female patient referring with a unilateral ectopic eruption. The patient was under close observation and regular orthodontic treatment to guide a unilateral ectopic eruption into a complete transposition of an upper left canine and first premolar. The long term follow-up revealed stables results.Practical Implications: Early diagnosis and preventive measurements in patients suffering from anomalies such as ectopic eruption is crucial in order to avoid further complications such as tooth impaction and dilaceration formation and adopting the best choice of treatment.
