Class III malocclusion is a complex multifactorial condition with many genetic and environmental influences. Most often the condition is inherited in a Mendelian autosomal dominant pattern. Early referral and treatment can lead to better outcomes in orthodontic therapy. The subject presented for an early orthodontic referral at age 5.5 and showed signs of future Class III malocclusion. A rapid maxillary expander was given as interventional treatment for one year. At age 11.5 the subject was treated with braces for 2 years. The outcome was a normal Class I occlusion. The subject’s mother had Class III malocclusion but was not evaluated early and was only able to establish an edge-to-edge Class III malocclusion as the best treatment outcome without orthognathic surgery. The subject’s grandmother was also Class III, establishing an autosomal dominance pattern of inheritance in the family. This case demonstrates the importance of the general dentist educating families about malocclusion and making orthodontic referrals as early as possible so the best treatment outcomes can be reached through orthodontic therapy.

ABSTRACT Introduction: Skeletal Class III malocclusion is often referred for orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery. However, with the aid of miniplates, some moderate discrepancies become feasible to be treated without surgery. Objective: To report the case of a 24-year-old man with severe skeletal Angle Class III malocclusion with anterior crossbite and a consequent concave facial profile. Methods: The patient refused to undergo orthognathic surgery; therefore, orthodontic camouflage treatment with the aid of miniplates placed on the mandibular arch was proposed. Results: After 18 months of treatment, a Class I molar and canine relationship was achieved, while anterior crossbite was corrected by retraction of mandibular teeth. The consequent decrease in lower lip fullness and increased exposure of maxillary incisors at smiling resulted in a remarkable improvement of patient's facial profile, in addition to an esthetically pleasing smile, respectively. One year later, follow-up revealed good stability of results.

This work deals with the problem of paternal incest occurring with young daughters at puberty. Only those incestuous relations which lasted at least one year have been the subject of the present research. 1) As far as the family structure is concerned, this study has revealed the incestuous father as a weak, masochistic, passive person who is dominated by his wife. The incestuous seductions of the daughter are experienced by her as making her party to his humiliation by his wife. It is under cover of pity that he turns his erotic desires to his daughter. He either beseeches her understanding and compassion or he uses violence. He has no control over his home and above all he has no control over himself. The wife holds the reins. The father is incapable of saying no to his incestuous desires. The mothers of these adolescent girls were described as essentially rejecting, and we noted that there is a parallel between the ego-disorganization of the adolescent girl and the intensity of the mother's rejection. 2) We have found that for the duration of the incestuous relationship, these adolescent girls had not suffered any behavioural or personality disorganization which would have alarmed their environment. 3) It was at the time, and very often on the very day, of the father's departure that these girls broke down. 4) Their disorganization was characterized by a very violent, compulsive acting out, which was for the most part erotic-heterosexual behaviour. Other acting out was observed, such as suicidal attempts, running away from home, auto-mutilation and destructive behaviour. We have given the name of compulsive-masochistic reaction to this type of disorganization. Two adolescent girls eventually had a more severe reaction. They evolved a frank psychosis. 5) Our main hypothesis, which was confirmed by the analysis of the clinical material, was that the compulsive-masochistic reaction is due to a masochistic father-fixation. In other words, these young girls seek at all costs to perpetuate the incestuous liaison to which they are henceforth irremediably attached. Moreover this father-fixation protects them from a much more radical regression; namely an oral and murderous invasion by the mother. The psychosis occurs when this father-fixation is no longer possible, that is when the father is annihilated, as much in the mother's eyes as in the daughter's. (“He no longer exists for me”, Lise told us). Then the adolescent girl cannot seek any help in her struggle against the oral, devastating and totally destructive mother with whom she is at grips. The effect is therefore fatal: a collapse of the ego's structure; it is psychosis.

Edward Foyle Collingwood was born on 17 January 1900 at Lilburn Tower, near Wooler, Northumberland, and died suddenly of a heart attack at Lilburn Tower on 25 October 1970. He came of a very old Northumberland family whose roots go back before 1600 and branches of it spread all over the country, but what is of much greater significance from the scientific point of view is that he was descended from John, the third brother of Admiral Lord Collingwood of Caldbourne and Hethpool, the two older brothers dying without issue. John’s only son, Edward John, bought Lilburn Tower in 1842 from the trustees of H. J. W. Collingwood of Cornhill, and was succeeded one after another by his three sons, Edward John, a bachelor who died in 1903, Arthur Burdett who died without issue in 1927, and Colonel Cuthbert George who had lived at Glanton Pyke and moved to Lilburn Tower in 1928. He immediately handed over the Lilburn Estates to his eldest son, Edward Foyle, the subject of this notice, who was in fact only three generations removed from the Admiral. Edward Foyle Collingwood’s mother Dorothy, still living at the time of writing, is the daughter of the Rev. William Fawcett of Somerford Keynes, Gloucestershire, and the name Foyle recalls her grandmother who was coheiress with her sister of the Somerford Keynes estate, and his mother was always a strong influence in the family. Three other sons were born in quick succession so that they formed a close-knit family and were able to do together all the usual country sports and pastimes of boys and did them well, especially shooting and fishing. Edward went to Osborne in 1913, Dartmouth in 1914, and a year later joined the Navy as a midshipman in H.M.S. Collingwood (by special arrangement). Two of his brothers survive him, Group Captain C. J. Collingwood who followed him through Osborne and Dartmouth just one year behind, and the youngest, Lieutenant-General Sir George Collingwood.

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.

Introduction. One of the challenges that clinicians encounter in the dental office is treating occlusal discrepancies. Malocclusion has been classified into three main classes that were further classified by researchers into more detailed subclasses later on. Pseudo-class III malocclusion has been called apparent or positional class III malocclusion, and its treatment usually consists of different modalities depending on how early the case is treated. When early orthodontic intervention was not possible, the restorative treatment becomes an excellent alternative especially when the teeth require restorative rehabilitation. Treatment. In this case report, the patient was suffering from dental wear, multiple failed old restorations, and edge-to-edge occlusal relationship which could be classified as pseudo-class III malocclusion. The patient’s esthetic complaint was addressed with full-coverage lithium disilicate and monolithic zirconia restorations that were successful in reestablishing the patient’s occlusal relationship and were able to eliminate the biological manifestations of dental caries. Conclusion. We were able to provide an alternative to orthodontic treatment where esthetic and functional needs of the patient were met after careful diagnosis and proper management. This clinical approach will give chance to treat patients suffering from minor occlusal discrepancies that require restorative intervention without the need to go through orthodontic therapy.

A 10 mo old Sapsaree dog presented for evaluation and treatment of malocclusion causing palatal trauma. A class III malocclusion with mesiolinguoversion of the 404 and enamel hypoplasia was diagnosed based on oral examination. It was decided to attempt orthodontic correction of the mesiolinguoverted tooth using an elastic chain and inclined bite plane technique with crown restoration of the enamel hypoplasia teeth. One year after the orthodontic correction and composite removal, the mesiolinguoverted right mandibular canine tooth was moved to an acceptable location within the dental arch and the locally discolored right maxillary canine tooth was vital.
