Noonan Syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant condition caused by mutations in multiple genes in the RAS-MAP (Mitogen-Activated Protein) Kinase pathway. It is typically characterised by short stature, broad webbed neck, abnormal chest shape, congenital heart defects and developmental delay. Oral manifestations include high arched palate, micrognathia, malocclusion, impacted teeth and jaw bones. Presented here is a case of NS in a 26-year-old female, reported to the dental clinic in College of Dentistry, Princess Nourah Bint Abdulrahman University. The cranio-dentofacial features of this syndrome can be diagnosed by the dentist and these features can be unrecognised by the physician. The dentofacial features of the patient included a broad forehead, down slanting palpebral fissure, flat base of the nose and low junction of the ears, prominent nasolabial folds, Class III molar malocclusion, edge-to-edge bite, high arched palate, and congenitally missing teeth. The present patient was first diagnosed by a dental professional and hence, this case report aims to present this syndrome from a dental viewpoint. The treatment plan was to improve her oral hygiene, retain the deciduous tooth and space maintainer in the congenitally missing tooth to preserve space for the future prosthodontic treatment.

Congenitally Missing

Introduction: Maxillary canines play strategic roles in maintaining the normal function and visibility of teeth. However, rare cases of bilateral permanent congenitally missing maxillary canines were occurring. Replacing these missing canines with dental implant prostheses is an optimal treatment plan for aesthetics and functions. Case Report: In this case report, we described the replacement of bilateral maxillary canines with osseointegrated implants to support all-ceramic prostheses for a young female patient. This treatment avoids the conventional preparation of adjacent teeth as a part of prosthetic reconstructions. In addition to that, all-ceramic crowns are biocompatible with oral cavity structures. Conclusion: The stable short-term result has been achieved with the replacement of the bilateral congenitally missed canines with an implant and cemented all-ceramic crowns, with 3-years cumulative success rate.

Keberadaan kista dapat menghambat perawatan ortodontik konvensional yang diberikan pada pasien. Tujuan artikel ini adalah menyajikan laporan kasus perawatan ortodontik alternatif seorang pasien perempuan berusia 17 tahun dengan kondisi gigi atas berjejal berat dan kista jinak di antara gigi insisivus lateral dan kaninus kiri atas. Setelah menetapkan diagnosis ortodontik, perawatan pertama yang dilakukan adalah pengangkatan kista. Kista dikirim untuk biopsi dan didiagnosis sebagai kista jinak. Orang tua dan pasien memutuskan untuk mencabut gigi insisivus lateral atas setelah mengetahui bahwa gigi insisivus lateral kiri atas nekrosis. Setelah gigi dicabut, bracket ortodontik dipasang di gigi bawah pasien. Tiga bulan kemudian, bracket ortodontik dipasang di gigi atas pasien. Kondisi gigi atas yang berjejal terkoreksi dan kaninus atas menggantikan posisi insisivus lateral. Saat ini, perawatan aktif masih dilanjutkan dan terpasang bracket ortodontik dengan elastik kelas III pada pasien. Kesimpulan artikel ini adalah pendekatan perawatan ortodontik inkonvensional dapat menjadi pertimbangan ketika ditemukan hambatan seperti adanya kista. Pasien dan orang tua harus diberi informasi mengenai konsekuensi perawatan sebelum perawatan dimulai.Unconventional Orthodontic Treatment for Upper Teeth Crowding with Benign Cyst. The presence of a cyst can provide an obstacle to the conventional orthodontic treatment given to the patients. The purpose of this article is to describe a case report of a seventeen year-old girl with a severe crowding of maxilla and presence of benign cyst between lateral incisor teeth and upper left canine treated with an alternative orthodontic treatment plan. After orthodontic diagnosis, the first treatment to be conducted was the removal of the cyst. The cyst was sent for biopsy and diagnosed as non-malignant cyst. The patient and her parents decided to extract upper laterals incisor tooth after knowing that the upper left lateral incisor tooth was necrotic. After the extractions, orthodontic brackets were bonded on the mandible. Then three months later the maxilla was bonded. The upper crowding of teeth condition was resolved very promptly and the upper canines were used to replace the laterals incisor position. Currently, active treatment is still in progress, and the patient has full upper and lower orthodontic brackets with class III elastics. After the treatment so far, it can be concluded that unconventional orthodontic treatment is worth considering when an obstacle such as a cyst is present. Patients and parents must be informed about the consequences of the treatment before active treatment is started.

Introduction: This case report describes the treatment of a 21-year-old man who presented in an orthodontic office for treatment but lived in a city 100 miles away and wanted the orthognathic surgery in another state in America. The patient presented with an anterior open bite and skeletal Class III relationship. Methods: The treatment plan included: (1) effective and careful communication of the treatment plan with the patient, orthodontist and oral and maxillofacial surgeon; (2) pre-surgical alignment and levelling of the teeth in both arches with Invisalign; (3) a long-distance communication between the orthodontist and the surgeon for surgical plan with virtual surgical planning (VSP Orthognathics; 3D Systems, www.3Dsystem.com ) online; (4) maxillary advancement (LeFort I osteotomy) with mandibular set-back (bilateral sagittal split osteotomy); (5) postsurgical correction of the malocclusion with clear brackets and aligners; and (6) retention and final small tooth movement adjustments with aligners/clear retainers. Results: The anterior open bite was treated, crowding was eliminated in the upper and lower anterior segment, correction of skeletal and dental Class III malocclusion was obtained, mandibular plane angle was reduced and facial profile improved. Conclusions: The results suggest that aesthetic and functional results can be achieved with long-distance communication of two specialties and with the combined use of clear aligners and clear fixed appliances.

First Case

Noonan syndrome (NS) is an autosomal dominant multisystem disorder caused by the dysregulation of the Rat Sarcoma/Mitogen-activated protein kinase (RAS/MAPK) pathway and characterized by short stature, heart defects, pectus excavatum, webbed neck, learning disabilities, cryptorchidism, and facial dysmorphia. Villonodular synovitis is a joint disorder most common in young adults characterized by an abnormal proliferation of the synovial membrane. Multifocal Villonodular synovitis is a rare disease whose recurrent nature can make its management particularly difficult. Currently, there is no systemic therapy recommended in diffuse and recurrent forms, especially because of the fear of long-term side effects in patients, who are usually young. Yet, tyrosine kinase inhibitors seem promising to reduce the effects of an aberrant colony stimulating factor-1 (CSF-1) production at the origin of the synovial nodule proliferation. We present here the case of a 21-year-old woman with NS associated to diffuse multifocal villonodular synovitis (DMVS). Our clinical case provides therapeutic experience in this very rare association. Indeed, in association with surgery, the patient improved considerably: she had complete daily life autonomy, knee joint amplitudes of 100° in flexion and 0° in extension and was able to walk for 10 min without any technical assistance. To our knowledge, this is the first case of a patient suffering from DMVS associated with a Noonan syndrome treated with Glivec® (oral administration at a dosage of 340 mg/m2 in children, until disease regression) on a long-term basis.

Introduction: The treatment established as the gold standard for skeletal deformities of the craniofacial complex is orthodontic treatment combined with orthognathic surgery, to achieve occlusal stability, facial harmony, improved mastication, phonation and breathing. The conventional orthognathic surgery protocol consists of 3 phases: pre-surgical orthodontic treatment, orthognathic surgery and post-surgical orthodontics. Case Report: 18 year old female patient with skeletal class III. She presents occasional pain, crepitation and luxation of the temporomandibular joint, laterognathia. Treatment: Conventional orthognathic surgery of both jaws with unilateral sagittal osteotomy. Results: The objectives of the treatment plan were achieved 1 year and 9 months after starting orthodontic treatment. Conclusion: With a good diagnosis and treatment planning orthodontic - maxillofacial surgery ensures excellent results, as well as bone stability and occlusal harmony post-surgery.

Class Iii Treatment

The pseudo-Class III can be defined as a functional reflex of an anterior positioning of the mandible, an acquired muscular position that simulates a mesiocclusion. The diagnosis and treatment plan of this condition must be based on a cephalometric evaluation that provides information about the relative contributions of the skeletal and dental components to the malocclusion. There is still great controversies about when is the best moment to start the Class III treatment. The purpose of this article is to describe a case report in which a Class III patient was successfully treated with reverse traction.

Gummy Smile

A healthy and beautiful smile can affect appearance and confidence. One of the aesthetic problems in dentistry that is often complained of by patients is excessive gingival display (gummy smile). The excessive gingival display can be caused by several factors, one of which is altered passive eruption (APE). One of the treatments to correct gummy smile related to APE is crown lengthening. Crown lengthening can be with bone reduction (gingivectomy with bone reduction) or without bone reduction (gingivectomy). Crown Lengthening with bone reduction is a surgical procedure that aims to maintain the dentogingival complex and to improve smile aesthetics. The purpose of this case report is to determine the crown lengthening with bone reduction (gingivectomy with bone reduction) procedure as a gummy smile treatment related to APE .A23-year-old female patient, came to Dental Hospital of Universitas Airlangga with complaints of her upper gum which not in the same length and the teeth looked short, she considered her smile was less aesthetic. After conducting analyses relating to aesthetics and periodontal tissue, crown lengthening with bone reduction was chosen for this patient treatment. The treatment results are quite good, visible gingival margins that matched the gingival zenith and improved patient's smile profile. APE as the etiology of patient's gummy smile can be corrected. There are no post-surgical complications such as excessive pain and infection. A proper diagnosis, treatment plan, and good techniques can produce a harmonious smile on the patient.
