description

Fibrous dysplasia is a benign skeletal disorder in which the normal bone and marrow are replaced by fibrous tissue and haphazardly distributed woven bone. The aim of this case report is to discuss the orthodontic treatment of a 13-year-old patient with fibrous dysplasia in the left maxilla. The patient had rotated maxillary second premolars, moderate crowding in both maxillary and mandibular arches with low maxillary frenal attachment. Orthodontic treatment was done with full fixed appliance and extraction of maxillary and mandibular third molars. Maxillary frenectomy and free gingival graft in mandibular anterior region were performed by a periodontist. The oral and maxillofacial surgery team monitored fibrous dysplasia in the left maxilla on a yearly interval. There is very limited information about orthodontic management of patients with craniofacial fibrous dysplasia. This case report discusses the orthodontic treatment and the importance of interdisciplinary approach in the management of patient with maxillofacial fibrous dysplasia. Key words:Orthodontic treatment, fibrous dysplasia, maxillofacial fibrous dysplasia, case report.
