Surgical-orthodontic treatment for severe malocclusion in a patient with osteopetrosis and bilateral cleft lip and palate:

Abstract: Orthognathic surgery in patients with craniofacial osteopetrosis, a condition associated with osteoclast dysfunction, is usually avoided because of the risk of osteomyelitis. A 19-year-old woman presented with the chief complaint of severe malocclusion and anterior crossbite. After radiographic evaluation, craniofacial osteopetrosis was diagnosed. Surgical-orthodontic treatment was performed after meticulous history taking and verification of normal bone turnover using bone-metabolism markers for endocrine eva… Show more

“…Patient was educated to continue to use retainers regularly and to have regular check-ups with an orthodontist at least once every six months to assess the condition of the teeth so that good treatment results can be maintained. 16,17 Treatment for this patient with Class III malocclusion and cleft lip and palate was a challenge. The multidisciplinary approach resulted in significant improvements to facial and dental esthetics, and function was improved as well.…”

“…The choice of retainer used may vary depending on the situation. 17 A recently published, evidence-based, clinical practice guideline on CLP recommends maintaining the anterior teeth positions with a fixed retainer, and in addition, using a removable orthodontic retainer, such as a Hawley retainer, to preserve the maxillary transverse dimensions. 18 Such a retainer must be worn on a nightly basis, lifelong.…”

“…Environmental factors, such as illnesses, poor oral hygiene, disorders involving dental replacement, trauma, periodontal disease and other causes, can also sontribute to malocclusion. 13,14 Patients' oral health, facial appearance and oral function are all negatively impacted by malocclusion. As previously reported, there is a strong correlation between gingival inflammation and P.g and its gingipains.…”

“…Up until recently, functional osteoclast abnormalities were considered the only factor contributing to osteopetrosis in humans. Although the cause of this is unknown, most mutations that impact the production of osteoclasts in humans are probably embryonically fatal [5]. The mutations in genes that encode enzymes involved in the acidic erosion process in the lacuna between the bone matrix and osteoclasts account for the vast majority of osteopetrosis cases.…”
