Material and Methods: A total of 225 frontal photographs of adult patients who was attended and was diagnosed in orthodontic department at Al-Mansoura University and were took to evaluate facial asymmetry. The subjects were divided in three groups; namely Group I, II, and III that pertain to Class I, II, and III patients with each Group/Class appointed to 75 participants respectively. Each Group was divided into sub-groups; a and b, for each Class. Digital photos were took using a Canon 600d digital camera. Result: Findings revealed that between Class I and Class III and Class II and Class III the Pronasale point was the only point that caused a statistical significance as opposed to the Labial Superior and Menton points; (p=0.03, p=0.02) respectively. Other statistically significant differences were found among Class I, II, and III groups regarding the distance between mid-facial plane point and the left exocanthus for; (p = 0.012) and regarding the distance between MFP and the left ala for; (p = 0.04). Conclusion: It was concluded that though Class I, II, and III malocclusions may have distinct skeletal differences, the appearance of the soft tissues can obscure the distinctions, creating a seemingly uniform image. Regarding the PN point, it can be concluded that patients who suffer from Class I, Class II and Class III had a wider right hemiface, and that patients who suffer from Class II and Class III had a wider right hemiface regarding both the LS and ME points respectively. Generally speaking, 56%, 52%, and 52% of the subjects had a wider right hemiface regarding the PN, LS, and ME points respectively.","PeriodicalId":508961,"journal":{"name":"Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences","volume":"5 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141660245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dental implants can improve denture retention, stability, and support in distal extension removable partial denture. However, a malpositioned implant can complicate tooth/implant-supported condition. This case report describe a 66-year-old female patient treated with maxillary implant -supported removable partial denture (RPD). Both the implants were placed in first premolar site. However, the implant on the left side presented severe facial inclination. We suggest that the discharge of the prosthetic edge with using a laboratory non retentive nylon Patrice’s on the Intaglio of metal housing locator attachment can solve the problem of denture insertion.","PeriodicalId":508961,"journal":{"name":"Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences","volume":"224 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141002028","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
