Oral problems can have a considerable impact on the general health and quality of life of healthy children and even more those with physical or mental disabilities. And conversely, general status can affect oral status. In fact, the satisfaction assessment in the dental care field is mandatory toward both healthy and medically compromised children. Unfortunately, in Morocco, studies taking into account the needs of the Moroccan population and especially the medically compromised children in the field of dental care are very few, that’s why the main objective of this study was to measure the satisfaction of the parents of these children with their management of oral health. within the CCTD pediatric dentistry service in Casablanca.

Introduction: Orthodontic management of patients with cleft lip and palate is a tedious process requiring meticulous treatment planning. However, in patients with a fairly good facial profile, non-surgical management using orthodontic treatment alone can produce astounding results in correction of malocclusion and to achieve a pleasing smile. A properly executed orthodontic treatment enhances not only the smile, but also the masticatory efficiency, speech and overall quality of life of the patients with cleft lip and palate. Methods: This case series describes orthodontic management of three patients with cleft lip and palate who have been treated by distinct treatment modalities. Results: An outline of the different orthodontic treatments along with possible interdisciplinary management has been explained in this case series. Conclusion: We therefore understand that in patients with cleft lip and palate who have a reasonably good facial profile, complete orthodontic therapy with individualized treatment plan is vital to provide good physiological, functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Background: A method of generating new bone following a corticotomy or an osteotomy and gradual distraction based on the tension-stress principle proposed by Ilizarov is called distraction osteogenesis. DO works in following phases: Osteotomy or surgical phase - Latency period - Distraction phase - Consolidation phase - Appliance removal - Remodeling period. Case report: A 21 years old female patient reported to the department of orthodontic with the chief complaint of forwardly placed upper front teeth. Her past medical, dental, post natal and family history did not show any relevant reporting. Material and method: The osteotomy was prepared by extending the line from medial aspect of posterior border of ramus till the buccal cortical plate between first and second molar and the intraoral bidirectional distractors (figure 3) were secured in place and the distraction was done twice a day at a rate of 1mm/day. The distraction was initiated five days after the surgery and then continued till 11 days. Conclusion: DO can effectively treat facial ............
