Abstract:

Complex malformations manifest in jaws which pose a challenge to diagnose the malocclusion for its management. A thorough three-dimensional assessment of the dentofacial skeleton is necessary to identify the underlying malocclusion. Although there are numerous methods to investigate the same, recording in a way to easily register, communicate and replicate is not much worked upon. This article tries to introduce a simple tool to record maxillamandibular malformations.
