The development of a malocclusion in adulthood can present as a diagnostic and management challenge to an orthodontist. It is prudent to identify the aetiology of changes to the occlusion which will influence the management plan. Uncommon causes include acromegaly. Orthodontists are in a good position to identify certain underlying disorders based on a patient’s presenting malocclusion that may otherwise go unnoticed and undiagnosed until other systemic signs and symptoms present themselves at the latter stages of the condition. This case report highlights possible aetiological factors of a developing malocclusion in adulthood and presents the clinical manifestations and joint orthodontic–surgical management of a patient with a developing skeletal III base attributed to acromegaly.

Sterilization of root canal space is foremost for the success of the endodontic treatment which is usually carried out with intracanal irrigants and medicaments. Triple antibiotic paste (metronidazole, ciprofloxacin, and minocycline) is used to achieve sterilization and healing of periradicular area. In the present case report, the triple antibiotic paste was used for non-surgical management of periapical lesion for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks, the tooth became asymptomatic that was then obturated. Hence, it is confirmed that conventional root canal treatment, along with intracanal medicaments (triple antibiotic paste), can non-surgically manage the periapical lesions and further promotes healing.

Wilson’s disease is a rare inherited autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism causing toxic hepatic and neural accumulation. The gene that regulates the disease is located on chromosome 13 (13q14.3). The signs and symptoms of Wilson’s disease vary depending on the organs that are affected by the disease with almost all the patients showing evidence of progressive liver disease. Its severity varies and is strongly associated with the time of diagnosis. In the present case report we present a rare case presenting with Wilson`s disease during pregnancy and review current management options.
