    Alterations in Facial Soft Tissue Thickness Post-Facemask Treatment in Noncleft Skeletal Class III and Bilateral Cleft Lip Palate Class III Patients
    (2022) Ulusoy Mutluol, Esra; Koyuncu, Sema; Ceylan, Rıdvan; Akın, Mehmet
    Objective: The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess the alteration in the facial soft tissue thickness after rapid maxillary expansion with facemask treatment in bilateral cleft lip and palate (BCLP) Class III patients and noncleft Class III patients. Methods: Case records including lateral cephalograms of 30 patients (19 females, 11 males) treated using a rapid maxillary expansion with facemask treatment were analyzed. Group I (age: 11.4 ± 1.02 years) (10 females, 5 males) consisted of noncleft skeletal Class III patients, and group II (age: 10.8 ± 0.84 years) (9 females, 6 males) comprised skeletal Class III patients with bilateral cleft lip and palate. Fifteen hard tissue and 10 soft tissue measurements were made at the beginning and at the end of the treatment to evaluate the change with rapid maxillary expansion combined facemask treatment. Results: The bilateral cleft lip and palate group displayed a statistically significant increase in the thickness of the subnasale, labrale superius, labrale inferius, labiomentale, and pogonion, whereas the thickness of the stomion was found to be significantly decreased. The noncleft group demonstrated a statistically significant decrease in the thickness of the stomion and gnathion. There was a statistically significant difference between the bilateral cleft lip and palate and noncleft groups in the facial soft tissue thickness measurements at labrale superius, gnathion, and subnasale points and in Y axis, U1-SN, U1-NA in the hard tissue measurements. Conclusion: The results of the study indicated that the rapid maxillary expansion with facemask treatment produced diverse alterations in the facial soft tissue thickness of bilateral cleft lip and palate patients and noncleft Class III patients

    Correction of Persistent in the Lower Anterior Region: A Case Report
    (2021) Akbaydoğan, Leyla Cime; Baka, Zeliha Müge; Ulusoy Mutluol, Esra
    Aim: This case report demonstrates the application of piezocision in correcting persistent crowding in the lower anterior region of dental arch. Methodology: A female aged 14 years and 3 months presented to the Selçuk University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Orthodontics due to esthetic complaints. Clinical and radiological examination revealed crowding in the upper and lower dental arches as well as skeletal and dental Class I malocclusion. First, bonding and arch wire were applied to the patient’s upper jaw. The patient then had check-up appointments at 4-week intervals. In the second session, bonding was applied to the lower jaw. As the leveling was completed in the upper jaw, thicker arch wires were used. However, 4 months after the bonding of the lower anterior region, leveling did not occur. Consequently, piezocision was applied to the lower anterior region. Then, two applications of 0.014'' and 0.016'' Ni- Ti wire were carried out, respectively. After the completion of the leveling, intrusion was provided with the utility arch placed on the lower incisor brackets. Orthodontic treatment was concluded with the use of Ni- Ti and steel angle wires. Conclusion: Efficient leveling was achieved in the lower anterior region with piezocision applications.
