Craniofacial Fibrous Dysplasia with Facial Asymmetry, Canted Occlusion and Open Bite: A Case Report with 2 Years Follow-up

ABSTRACT Aim Fibrous dysplasia is a benign fibro-osseous disorder of unknown etiology that may affect the craniofacial region causing significant impairment of facial esthetics and function. This paper reports a case of a 21-year-old male, which was investigated and diagnosed with craniofacial fibrous dysplasia involving an overgrowth over right maxillary and mandibular region associated with facial asymmetry, severe occlusal cant and anterior open bite. Management of the case included surgical excision, cosmetic contouring and orthodontic intervention. The case was reviewed over a period of two years, which demonstrate stable treatment outcome.

A 24-year-old Afro-Caribbean with a pronounced anterior open bite and bimaxillary protrusion was successfully treated to a stable result with a partial glossectomy and fixed appliance therapy. Although transient sialorrhea and paraesthesia were experienced post-operatively, speech and function showed some improvement 2 years after treatment.

And Function

Case report of an adult Bangladeshi male aged 26 years who complained about ineffective chewing of food and unpleasant aesthetic look. The patient was diagnosed to have a 4 mms of anterior dental open bite on skeletal Class I with normal mandibular plane and palatal plane angles. Treatment was orthodontics alone with non-extraction. The main mechanics used to close the anterior open bite, were by the conventional aligning, leveling and arch contraction by standard edgewise technique. The result showed that it was possible to correct the open bite within a short period; however, the appliance was difficult to clean. The treatment was complete after 2 years with positive overbite of 3 mms and acceptable occlusion. The patient was happy with his new appearance and function.

Molar Extraction

A skeletal Class III malocclusion with open bite tendency is considered very difficult to treat orthodontically without surgery. This case report describes the lingual orthodontic treatment of an adult skeletal Class III patient with mandibular deviation to the left side, lateral open bite, unilateral posterior crossbite, zero overbite and negative overjet. The lower incisors were already retroclined to compensate with the skeletal discrepancy. The patient was treated by asymmetric molar extraction in the mandibular arch to retract the lower incisors and correct the dental midline, with the help of intermaxillary elastics. Lingual appliance was used with over-torqued lower anterior teeth’s brackets to control the torque of mandibular incisors. After a 30-month treatment, satisfactory smile and facial esthetics and good occlusion was achieved. A 12-month follow-up confirmed that the outcome was stable. Asymmetric molar extraction could be a viable option to retract mandibular incisors in Class III malocclusion with lower dental midline deviation.

The present case report describes a conservative and uncommon treatment for class III malocclusion in a woman growing patient with aged eight years and four months. An unconventional treatment modality was used for the treatment of this malocclusion, reverse-pull headgear and distalisation of lower teeth using mandibular cervical headgear in the lower arch. At the end of the treatment (after 33 months), there was correction of the transversal and sagittal occlusal relationship between maxilla and mandible and correct dental intercuspation.

Defined as a rare type I acrocephalosyndactyly syndrome which is clinically characterized by dysmorphic facial features, craniosynostosis, and severe syndactyly of the hands and feet, Apert Syndrome represents an autosomal dominant inheritance which occurs due to the gene mutations in the receptors of the fibroblast growth factor. Oral lesions include tooth crowding, reduction in the size of the maxilla, impacted teeth, anterior open-bite, ectopic eruption, delayed eruption, thick gingiva and supernumerary teeth. The present case report describes a 58 year old female patient reported with the features of Apert’s syndrome such as dysmorphic facial features, occular anomalies, syndactyly and oral features. The case was referred to a specialized centre of clinical care for further treatment.

Unusual Case Report

Odontomas are the most common odontogenic tumors. They are broadly classified in to Compound Odontoma and Complex Odontoma. Among them complex odontoma is a rare tumor. Occasionally this tumor becomes large, causing expansion of bone followed by facial asymmetry. Otherwise these tumors are asymptomatic and are generally diagnosed on radiographic examination. We report a rare case of complex odontoma of mandible in a young boy. The tumor was treated by surgical excision under general anesthesia.

Case Report. An 8-year-old girl with amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) reported unsatisfactory aesthetics, difficulty in mastication, and dental hypersensitivity. The intraoral examination observed mixed dentition, malocclusion in anteroposterior relationships, anterior open bite, and dental asymmetry. A hypoplastic form of AI was diagnosed in the permanent dentition. A multidisciplinary planning was performed and divided into preventive, orthopedic, and rehabilitation stages. Initially, preventive treatment was implemented, with fluoride varnish applications, in order to protect the fragile enamel and reduce the dental sensitivity. In the second stage, the patient received an interceptive orthopedic treatment to improve cross-relationship of the arches during six months. Finally, the rehabilitation treatment was executed to establish the vertical dimension. In the posterior teeth, indirect composite resin crowns were performed with minimally invasive dental preparation. Direct composite resin restorations were used to improve the appearance of anterior teeth.Follow-Up. The follow-up was carried out after 3, 6, 12, and 18 months. After 18 months of follow-up, The restoration of integrity, oral hygiene, and patient satisfaction were observed .Conclusion. Successful reduction of the dental hypersensitivity and improvement of the aesthetic and functional aspects as well as quality of life were observed.
