ABSTRACT
Our Objective was to treat a patient having proclined, protruded teeth along with a Class II Skeletal malocclusion. 0.022 × 0.028 inch MBT Brackets were placed, and leveling alignment was commenced. Individual canine retraction was carried out in both arches, followed by retraction of the incisors in the upper arch with a Burrstone's T Loop. E2Z Forsus fatigue resistance appliance was given for the correction of Class II malocclusion. Proclination, protrusion, and crowding were corrected along with Class II Skeletal base. Individual canine retraction along with frictionless mechanics and noncompliant functional correction has sufficient potential to prevent anchor loss and correct a Class II skeletal base.
ABSTRACT
Progressive hemifacial atrophy (PHA) is a disease of unknown etiology affecting one‑half of the face. Ocular involvement is uncommon. Atrophy of iris is rare, with only a few cases of partial atrophy being reported in the literature. We report a case of total atrophy of iris and ciliary body with associated ocular hypotony in a 16‑year‑old girl with PHA. We believe this is the Access this article online Quick Response Code: Website: www.ijo.in DOI: 10.4103/0301-4738.151474 PMID: *** first reported case of complete atrophy of iris and ciliary body in PHA. Ocular hypotony in PHA was thought to be due to intra‑ocular inflammation. However in our case it appears to be secondary to severe atrophy of the ciliary body.
