Treatment of a class III patient with maxillary retrognathia and amelogenesis imperfecta using a surgery-only orthognathic approach

Abstract

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) is a rare disorder characterized by structural irregularities of enamel and may be associated with various oral-craniofacial features. The compromised surface of the teeth creates an unsuitable area for the application of orthodontic appliances. The aim of this study is to present the prosthetic rehabilitation of an 18-year-old male patient diagnosed with amelogenesis imperfecta and skeletal Class III malocclusion due to maxillary retrognathia, following a surgery-only approach (SOA) with virtually planned Le Fort I and bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomies (BSSRO).
