SKELETAL CLASS III MALOCCLUSION IN CONJUNCTION WITH EARLY CHILDHOOD CARIES INCREASES ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT COMPLEXITY: A CASE REPORT.
Journal Title: Revista Científica do CRO-RJ / Rio de Janeiro Dental Journal - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Many objective indexes of orthodontic treatment complexity and need have been compiled over the years, most of which have been based on the morphological characteristics of malocclusion. Objective : The aim of this paper is to report a clinical strategy for treating multiple early childhood caries in conjunction with skeletal Class III malocclusion. Case report : A 5-year- ld female patient sought dental treatment complaining of dental caries, pain, and malocclusion. The treatment plan involved three steps: pain alleviation, carious control and restauration, and, an orthodontic-orthopedic approach. Treatment also involved a behavioral change in eating habits of the family unit preceding the treatment of malocclusion. Results: The complex clinical cases can yield satisfactory outcomes when pediatric dentistry and orthodontic disciplines are integrated. Conclusion : Orthodontic treatment complexity in children should also be determined by remaining craniofacial growth and both patient and parent’s adhesion and compliance.
